History of: WCW p4

By -
The Monday Night Wars the best time to be a wrestling fan in other than the 1980's, difference is that this time WWF has competition the WCW who is about to start the climb. Now that WCW had a show they could compete with WWF which they did starting from the first show which i covered last time. Bischoff though the lead guy was also the lead announcer for the first few years of Nitro with Bobby Hennan & Steve McMichael. Eric also used dirty tatics do get the viewers which would comeback to bite him in the future some of the tatics were, giving away the results to Raw & having Aludra Blazye the then WWF Womens Champion dump the title in the trash on LIVE tv. The tide began to turn in May of 1996 when who else but Razor Ramon (aka Scott Hall) on WCW programing & this was before the internet so nobody knew why he was their. 2 weeks later one of his associates showed up his good friend and ex WWF Champion Kevin Nash an they both are getting a large amount of cash money & a clause that if anyone is sign to more they make then they get a raise to more than what the guy just got paid.
Then the ppv came Bash At the Beach 96 Hall & Nash vs Sting, Luger, & Savage who would be the third man well they wanted it to be Sting but, no who is a top face hmmm.... After Luger gets hurt and taken backstage here comes Hogan down the ramp to "help" WCW but then leg drops Savage and. The NWO is formed another thing that goes on to kill WCW in the long run. From that point until mid 98 WCW won in the ratings almost putting the WWF out of business especially after Starcade. Starcade 97 ICON vs Legend Sting vs Hulk Hogan for the belt this match had 15 months of hype behide it and was one of Bischoff shining moments in the WCW. However due to the not clean ending and Sting being put down for almost a 3 count by Hogan also him being stripped of the title the next night, & the fact that many viewed it as their big chance to eclipse WWF permanetlly not good for morale or the future of this company. Early 98 WCW is still way ahead of the WWF but things dont stay that way because here is when the WWF move forward & WCW move back with an Attitude. Also in 1998 WCW made a second show on TBS called Thunder but like Bret Hart stint this show did live up to expectations Nitro had set.
Going Futher into 1998 is the rising star known as Goldberg who had debuted last September and was taking the wrestling world by storm winning every match he was in even July 6 1998. Goldberg vs Hulk Hogan for the world title could have made a very good ppv match but know only care about the ratings. At this Goldberg was more popular then the WCW.
Next time on the History of WCW: things get even worse for WCW as they continue to lose money, talent, ratings, & fans more information on all these topics on the next part of the history of WCW

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo...

Spring Cleaning Coming Early!!!!

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future. As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...
