wcw in the early 90s up until 97 was great then it went downhill dont you remember the 2 minute main events goldberg vs kronic or selling 1000 tickets and having 9000 seat fillers or free tickets
TNA and WWE take note..This is how you put on a wrestling show. You dont need bullshit storylines you just need logical and simple shit. God I miss early WCW.
@xhemexx actually when he was supposed to go back to wcw from wwe he walked into the arena and found out they were doing drug test and thus 24 hrs prior he had done cocaine. so thus he would have never been welcomed back.
@GambitUz so what he just didn't come back for good then? I mean cocaine leaves the system eventually, the guy pretty much retired and didn't come back for good?!
@xhemexx if he did show up that night he would have had to take the test and fail. even though the drugs would have left his system eventually he still was at the arena so they could have gotten him on a noshow type deal. either way he was fucked.
@xhemexx tully had a problem with drugs, he was great and shouldve accomplished alot more in the biz. there's a shoot interview on youtube with tully its about 2 hours long u should watch it. its labeled "Wild Child". i geuss just search that and throw his name and "shoot" in there to find it. if u have trouble let me know and ill get u the link.
Flair, ole, arn and tully blanchard. Then ole was kicked out for luger. Luger lost the us belt to dusty rhodes and he was kicked out. Windham turned on luger in a tag match against arn and tully and became a horseman. That was the best group and last set of horsemen in my opinion.
Luger was kicked out when he refused to go over the top rope for JJ Dillon in the Bunkhouse Stampede match.After that Dillon kept everyone even the Horseman in the dark about Luger's replacement 7 it was Windham
sting such a bitch. lol dressed in a western outfit! LOL i love how he puts his hand on arns shoulder like hes a friend of them! WELL FOUND OUT ABOUT THAT!!
The year was 1990. I don't know why Ric Flair had to make Ole Anderson force Sting to cancel his match. Eventually Sting didn't cancel his match. But he did get jumped by the Horsemen.
This is some straight up gangsta shit this is some acamedy award shit Ole Anderson and Arn are the best right hand men and Ric Flair is the godfather don
They came the #1 bad asses in wrestling again, in the space of 5 minutes. That's talent. Ole, Arn and Ric were the greatest at cutting promos. The only thing that would have made it better would have been Tully Blanchard jumping out the crowd and joining in on the beat down and reforming the original Horsemen.
tully was supposed to have come back with arn and ole and reform the original horseman but, he failed a drug test prior to the return. that's why sting was included in the horsemen to begin with.
Yeah Sting was and it was a way to make the Horsemen faces, sort of until Sting made his run for Flairs title. Which put the Horsemen back to what they did best.
It didnt really, but back then Terry Funk, Great Muta and Dragon Master w/ Gary Hart were going after Flair and Sting aided Flair, which led to Halloween Havoc, where Ole came back. Then the Horsemen were refomed. But then they had Sid Vicious and Roma come in which was a total f-ing disaster, and Jarret was never a Horsemen.
It fit perfectly within the storylines and characters of the time, and the real life booking. Storyline, the Horsemen and just reformed and needed instantly publicity, and Sting was the new hot face at the time, so the Horsemen adapted and bided their time as babyfaces. Booking wise, it put heat on Sting and the Horsemen. Sting became the #1 babyface and he had a perfect foil: Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen. And, by proxy, he was thrust into the World title picture.
If you knew anything about what was happening at the time you would know that it was booked that Sting was not Horseman material. That's how they got heat on Sting and Horseman. It was done that way purposely.
This was one of the great storylines in the History of the NWA. Ric Flair actually was the Chief Booker for the NWA, whch means he put together the storyline with Ricky Steamboat, Terry Funk and all of this. You also had three of the greatest promo guys in the history of wrestling: Ric Flair, Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson.
@all028 dusty was the booker at one point but this took place after he bought a pair of polka dot trunks and went to the wwf. when flair started booking it was his idea to bring in steamboat, funk etc.
if dusty was booking he woulda made himself the centerpiece as usual.
Actually, the Evolution/Orton thing was loosely taken from this. Sting was a longtime nemesis of Flair for years and was finally granted passage into the most elite group in the sport. However, Sting did the one thing no Horseman ever did and that's go after Flair's World Title.
Orton, won the title that was thought to be Triple H's. The title remained in Evolution but Triple H thought it was his to have, not Orton's. That's where the problem arose, much like with Sting.
Even though I like the Horsemen this whole letting go of Sting situation was unfair I just think if he was still part of the Horsemen a little longer even if he'd won the belt at Wrestle War '90 or not or when Sting got injured I would have though that Flair or the Anderson's might have continued their rivalry with Gary Hart and his crew but this was just unfair
Was this just before the whole dynamic dudes stable with sting orndorff jyd etc against the horsemen?
Because that is when they started showing old episodes of WCW worldwide here in the uk about 3, 4 years ago when sting wanted revenge on the horsemen.
sting was heel when first started nwa\wcw out sting owes alot of his sucess to ric flair but in the end there fued ended up up becoming one of the best in wrestling history so they helped each other in the end
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Danger2Hope, you are right. Flair wasn't a good champion--although he won the strap more than any other pro wrestler in history. Many of his title wins came by cheats. So, without those cheats, who knows, would he be 16 time champion? You be the judge on that!
Ric Flair is the greatest wrestler of all time and in this business all that matters is you got the job done....and 25 times he has beaten a world champion to become the Champ..he is the greatest of all time!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Other than Sting,all the rest of The Horsemen all suck and are cowards.I never considered Flair a true legend.After all how many times did he have The Horsemen help him keep the title? You would never ever see Terry Funk stoop that low when he was the NWA world heavyweight champion.
