How can he not remember the Hogan/Sting finish from Starrcade 97? Biggest angle ever and sadly the interviewer does not recall it either to dig further into the botched spot.
"The mistake they made is when they tried to make every heel in the territory be in NWO"--- I don't think I have ever heard a better summary of how WCW shot themselves in the foot.
Then he wrestled for a while around 85-87 in places like Southeastern/Continental, Mid-South, maybe Deep South and some other southern territories before going back to being a ref.
Hogan beat Sting clean in the middle of the ring because Patrick fucked up the fast count. It ruined the year and a half Sting in the rafters angle that should have destroyed the NWO and maybe WCW would have survived. But alas, Sting was pinned not only at Starrcade but the very next night on Nitro. A few weeks later Raw took the ratings lead and bought and didn't stop until they bought WCW for chump change.
You are correct on both accounts. Sting was supposed to kickout but Nick was supoosed to make a fast count. They did neither and Hogan looked like he got screwed not Sting. The next night there was a ref bump and Hogan pinning Sting for ten to twenty seconds with no one to count. Sting won again but again Hogan was the one screwed. Sting should have gone over clean leading to the Hogan Face turn and the destruction of NWO. But the NWO didn't want to die.
The reason WCW folded was AOL Time Warner picking up the company when Turner went through a downturn and liquidated alot of his assets. AOL didn't really know what to do with WCW so they sold it to McMahon for chump change. WCW would probably still be around today if that didn't happen.
7 million dollars if im not mistaking, but still doesnt beat the price of ECW. Mcmahon bought it at bankruptcy court for $200k. and included the library wich is pretty much where mcmahon has made most money off of. Rise and Fall of ECW is the number one selling wrestling dvd of all time
Yeah, it's a shame that Vince got his hands on all the masters for the WCW and ECW libraries...that pretty much guarantees that all those great old PPVs will never be fully released on DVD.
Jerry Jarrett wanted to buy it and so did Eric Bischoff. They didn't want wrestling on the network. Since Turner lost the say he used to have it was gone.
That part of it but the problem with WCW at end wasnt that AOL Timewarner sold WCW to McMahon because there were other people willing to but it like Eric Bischoff for example but Timewarner decided to take WCW of theyre programming. Now WCW was huge because of the airplay they got on tv WCW or even WWE with out tv exposure is worthless which is why Vince was one that ended up buying WCW
The question was on one of the recent botchamanias. Nick claimed he didn't remember the match, and Feinstein totally pussied out on any kind of follow-up.
Lke it it is sad and it reminds me of my friend that saddly was killed last year because of reading chain letters and now that you have read this eshe will slowly kill you by everytime you hear a ring in your ear she will make your life shorter by a day post this on five different vidios to be saved sorry
I used to watch Deep South on WBEK in Augusta,GA. And go to the shows at the National Gaurd Armory around 1985 and 86. Back when rasslin was the best.
I think this looks like a very interesting shoot. Next time RF Video has a big sale, I plan to pick this one up along with a few other recent shoots (Little Guido, Kanyon, Balls Mahoney, etc. etc.)
only referee to ever be a member of the NWO

Buying WCW and not having a national contract for tv so your product can be seen made it not worth buying would have been waste of money

Patrick was a great ref and a pretty decent wrestler too.
He was the heavyweight champ of the original Deep South.
Not to mention he's a heck of a guitar player!!
