he may not have, i think when they brought on Tenay they said he was from a wrestling magazine of some sort, idk if it was the observer or PWI or anything. but i do recal they said he was from SOMEwhere ahhh yes, you're right. They did indeed bring in Mike Tenay from the Observer. Good eye my man i thought it was the observer. imagine wade keller and dave metlzer on commentary with Schavonie

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE WITH HULKAMANIA FOREVER BROTHER! *boos* Mean Gene: You can hear em Hulkster! Listen to them brother! I swear, the Hogan promos in late 95 and early 96 were hilarious. The WCW crowds had totally turned on him by then. "AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING MEAN GENE, WHEN I SLAM THAT BIG STINKY GIANT, AND THE ENTIRE DUNGEON OF DOOM COLLAPSES UNDER THE WEIGHT OF HULKAMANIA, THESE LITTLE HULKSTERS WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO REST ASSURED THAT EVIL HAS BEEN CUT OUT OF THE DUBYA C DUBYA" *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!* *Hogan cups his ear and Macho points everywhere*

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE WITH HULKAMANIA FOREVER BROTHER! *boos* Mean Gene: You can hear em Hulkster! Listen to them brother! It was definately a mixed reaction. Even though WCW was a mess at this time, the pre-nWo period 94-96 was probably my favorite era in the history of WCW. Hogans promos were hilarious and were even more over-the-top than his WWF ones at the peak of his career. Who could forget "Its not hot!" or "there's no hulkamaniacs here!" I loved seeing the crowds turn on him (or at least act lukewarm towards him) because it made it all the more funnier to listen to someone like Mean Gene try to cover up the fact that he was getting more boos than cheers

So... did Hogan win the match? Actually, Randy Savage did. I don't remember who he eliminated, but he was the first winner of the World War 3, 60 man battle royal and got the belt. I wonder if they changed it because of WON or just wanted to mock it.

biscoff would mention it all the time on Nitro back in the day And not too mention a cajillion more times in his book. Literally every topic he touches apon he has to add in what the dirt sheets thought about it. And then he'll claim they didn;t bother him, yet he mentions them an awful lot in a book written bassically a decade later. It really got annoying after a while reading about the "dirt sheets" every 5 seconds in that book. And this is coming from someone who actually admires bischoff.

But a better question would be, why would Bischoff care about what the dirt sheets or "rag sheets" have to say? It's like a dinosaur compared to the internet brother. The internet has all the scoops :-)

Fall 1995 in ECW: Raven/Stevie vs Pit Bulls 2 out of 3 falls Double Dog Collar match, the debuts of Rey Misterio Jr and Psicosis, and Taz turns heel.
Fall 1995 in WCW: "Sting, I will always be your friend, dude!"
It really was a revolution.....

You're High I would rather see Raven, Sandman, Sabu, RVD, Dudleys, Public Enemy, Benoit and Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and Shane Douglas than that mindless dribble that WCW had back than! Defend Final Solution and Z-Gangster! DEFEND IT! Younger talent being wasted! You're major stars(Sting and Ric Flair) taking a back seat to a wrestlers past his prime(Savage) and that wasn't good to start out with(Hogan)! The Giant falling off a roof than being in a match the next night! I can't defend WWF vs WCW back than because WWF was just as inept! I mean wrestler with occupations? Oh and lets not forget building up wrestler people hated! Lex Luger? Oh and Sid, lets not forget about that. Or how about the lack of any intreasting storylines? Nothing! However ECW was superior in every way and it didn't suck...back than! Of course now that it's WWE it does and sucks hard! Yes ECW started the attitude era in 1994 but they're version was far better and WCW and WWF were tempid lame retreads and never were as good as ECW! Screw DX give me Raven's Nest! I'd rather have Raven vs Dreamer than McMahon vs Austin! tag champs Sabu and RVD were phenominal way cooler than any of WCW and WWE's tags. So wax WWE and wax WCW neither was waxing good! Okay WCW came the closest in 1996-1998 but after that it waxing sucked!

Meh, I was more of a WCW fan back then, even with all their goofiness they still had some good wrestling there, even if they "Stole" Malenko, Benoit, Guerrero from ECW as Heyman loves to say, as if they were forced to do it.

Okay WCW came the closest in 1996-1998 but after that it waxing sucked! I think you take wrestling wayyyyyy too seriously. WCW was great during that period because there was plenty of comic relief and there was no stigma of seriousness attached to it. It was corny, cartoonish, lighthearted fun. And if it wasnt for some of the gimmicks and angles that came out of that period in WCW's history, this very website probably wouldn't exist. I always thought ECW was overrated anyway, and as for WWE stealing ideas from ECW. ECW stole their ideas from World Class (WCCW) so that point is moot

Actually, Benoit, Malenko and Guerrero all worked for WCW when Hogan cut this epic promo. TPE would be there within two months. It was quite stange to go from Benoit/Malenko vs Regal and Taylor to a Dungeon of Doom skit.

(The Malenko house, 1:28 AM. Eric Bischoff, wearing a black ski cap, black eye mask and black and white striped shirt, sneaks into Dean Malenko's bedroom with a big sack with "WCW" written on the side) Dean: "Hey, what the....you're STEALING me?!?!?!" Bischoff: "Shut up and get in the sack!!!"

Seriously, to all who haven't read Eric's book(you aren't missing anything anyway, except some intentional hilarious moments like Eric B recalling when Hart got "counted out" in the Montreal Screwjob. Strange, but I recall that it was a submission screw job.), he pretty much mentions "Dirtsheets" like 90 times in that book, disses canada and canadiens at one point, and said that the fans who went to ECW's shows are idiots. Quite an uninteresting read, and glad I didn't pay for it.

I love mid-90's WCW cheese. I need someone to post the "It's Not Hot" video.
