Better concept road wild or shotgun Saturday night

[hulksmash87]

Which do you feel was better? I always liked the road wild idea

[chronocross]

I wouldn't have a problem with the Road Wild concept if it was a regular Nitro/Saturday Night or if they did it as a Clash of the Champions instead of a PPV.

Yeah, making a PPV completely free for entry was one of the dumber ideas peak WCW had, and that's saying something.

It’s not the free that is really stupid, it was free for drunk people who didn’t give a f***.

They may not have been good for business, but i'm glad that shows like Road Wild exist for us to look back on. Whether it was a show on an actual Beach, in a Shopping Mall or at a Biker rally. WCW were often so much more imaginative and daring when it came to making each PPV feel unique in look and feel. It's an approach that I wish the WWE would take more today.

True. I remember being blown away that Mania 9 was outside. It took them forever to do it again.

WWE could do a ton of cool shit, but nope, only Mania gets the cool stuff. Every other show has to look like American Idol.

Shotgun got us a drunken Terry Funk yelling that Todd Pettingil’s mom was a whore, so advantage Shotgun Saturday Night.

I do love the unique shows that look completely different from the norm.

Yeah, Road Wild was a good idea in theory but definitely shouldn’t have been used for a PPV. Do a special event, or a Clash. And I would’ve gone to a big outdoor concert festival rather then Sturgis, at least the drunks at the festival you have a chance of getting them into the show. The bikers were never gonna give a f***

Road Wild was not a good idea. While I loved that WCW tried unusual venues, putting guys out in front of a horde of drunk bikers was potentially a recipe for disaster. It's wonder they never charged the ring during Hogan's BS, and if they did, then what? Hogan, WCW security get hurt, all for a show they got no money for.

I think they were going to do a segment in the ring where they all spray painted the title at the 1997 Road Wild show, but I think the fans were throwing bottles and rocks at Hogan/Nash and the rest of the nWo guys and so they ended up doing the segment in the back.

Can't say I blame them as Luger just lost the belt and they were drunk and pissed off and I think a biker tried to get over the railing but Scott Norton went out to meet him, don't know how it ended, you can see it just as Hogan was declared the winner, he's pointing at someone off screen (presumably a fan) and he darts out after him.

Road Wild was better in the sense that it was a novelty, but neither was a good idea.

I want Drunk Terry Funk as the new gm.

Lol didn’t Harlem Heat got booed at Road Wild by the bikers despite Booker and Stevie being faces? I wonder why that happened...

[realist]

Both concepts sucked. But, at least the crowd at Shotgun Saturday Night was not filled with racist assholes. For clarification on my claim, look up the Harlem Heat vs. Steiner Bros match. Even at 11 years old at the time, I knew something was off.

[Milkman Norm]

Neither was good but Shotgun was less horrible.

First day in.

“Vince what happened to you? Damn you got old. Your face looks like a scrotum.”

“Do you people know that Jerry Lawler is a baby banger?”

The last one actually happened. Funk called Lawler that in Memphis.

I want them to put shotgun Saturday night on the network already I never got to see it
