Goldberg was so shit on the mike, they shouldn't've let him talk it would've added to the whole mystique and craziness and made the no sell more believable.
Was just watching Ready To Rumble and was curious as to what the WCW setup was like in '01 with Thunder and Nitro. They used this same ramp and titan tron setup for both shows? The announcer is the same as TNA, commentating is shit, and I'm not even going to watch the entire video because of how amateurish it looks. I was a WWF follower all through attitude era into 2003 and stopped. Never gave WCW a chance and I'm glad I didn't...
if you were a fan of the e in the attitude era, then not giving wcw aq chance in 97-97 was stupid, it was pretty darn good, definitely better than raw most of 97.
announcers were same as tna???tenay's been in the business long enough to not be known just as a tna anouncer
& as for schiavoni,he's been interviewing those nwa segements as far back as the late 70s,i'll be glad if tna can stay in business as long as schiavoni announced
Plus Russo's dumb self was to lazy to go and try to find another channel to air on so he just sold WCW thinking they werent gonna stand a chance anymore even though they couldve
Look people TNT went under Time Warner production and the problem wasnt WCW's ratings they were still selling out crowds but when they decided they didnt want wrestling on TNT they cancelled it so if theres no way to show your product how in the world are you gonna make money
so maybe if wcw on a channel under 25 than they probaly would have kept more fans
they had a repeat program that taped everything that went on nitro
and it pissed me off they took it off
no wonder they went down
lost fans cuz it wasnt on enough channels and right channels and the screwed up anyway cuz the tnt management took it over and they never knew jack shit about wrestling
They didn't go out of business because their shows weren't reaching enough people. They went out of business because everyone who was watching stopped watching. That and TBS went under new management and decided they didn't want wrestling anymore.
People say near the end, WCW sucked. But if you look at wrestling today, the dying days of WCW are better than the current days of wrestling. Wow, how the times have changed for the worse.
@Tranceplant82 It's all because of the Invasion thing...When they had all of that and the WWE won...well after everybody had a few years then we are left with this because the WWE feels that there isn't anymore competition. TNA is tryin to compete but they only have one night compared to the WWE that has two nights. So overall, when there is better competition from other brands then you will see much better tv
@Tranceplant82 But it was that bad. People still watched it. Obviously not as many as at the prime of the Monday Night Wars, but WCW was godawful at the end.
@JaguarmaniaX Complete BS. Nitro ratings were in the 2's in their final months and in 2000 they went from 2.0 to 3.0 at random. They had a 3.0 rating on the final Nitro and it wasn't because it was a show people wanted to see... it's because people were shocked to see TNT and USA airing the same thing. Even RAW had a 4.7 the last night of Nitro... just shows that people didn't even care in the end. RAW today is in the mid 3 range. So you are completely wrong.
@JaguarmaniaX sorry, but you are incorrect there, after nitro started to lose the ratings in APRIL 1998, It was almost impossible for them to have high ratings since, no one cared? Raws ratings arent as good as they used to be, but they are not as low as the Vince Russo WCW era either.
kind of ,in WCW there was rehearsals between the two wrestlers several hours prior to the match just to get a good feel of each other and mainly plan the beggining an dend of the match but in between is pretty much freestyle, in WWE they work all week to script exactly what they want to
What a boring match... When i was teenager i used to believe that goldberg was a real unstoppable wrestler. But now, i really doubt it in reality... But hey, he still good looking wrestler anyway, but undefeated? I dont think so. Those matches was scripted that goldberg must win.
the one thing ive known is that wcw really never gave the other superstars a chance to be known in the business,only goldberg and Nwo was famous ,thats why wwf was doing good because they made all the wrestlers show what they got instead of focusing on the big ones all the time like wcw did
yeah BUT!!! on wwf 1996-1999 era it was cheap ecw gimmicks that was hardcore, wasnt wrestling ONLY STPORT ENTERTAINMENT! NOT,WELL NEVER BE PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING! you can just make a oung wreaslter (21 yr old) just become a wwe champion or a big star, those old wrestlers had own to become champions took them 5-9years or even more, wwe iof today just nothing but crap and all it well ever be is crap.
yeah but that was realistic, and thats not true anyway, billy kidman became BIG in wcw's closing era so was mysterio t an extent and jeff jarrett for a reason ill ever understand
This was post-Russo WCW, with Goldberg's new title run to give him something to do. It was ok, his strak ended with Totally Buff retiring him at Sin, if I'm not mistaken.
why did mike tenay refer to goldberg and 176 - 0 being a "long way away" ? Did wcw know they were going to have goldberg win that many matches before he lost to nash? Because he didnt even get to 176 - 0 he got to 173 and 0
this video is wrong, mike tenay says goldberg is 33 - 0 and when he lost his first match the kevin nash at starcade 98 he was 173 - 0, therefor, this is incorrect.
yeah your close. He interviews ufc fighters nowadays. He did lose his weight and muscles, and his incredible condition. He's know and old veteran that still wants to be around with fighters. But the legend continues! My kids will know who bill goldberg was!
Yeah i saw that he was training with kimbo, or atleast try to train with kimbo. And he got tired very quick. But i don't know if he trains with the other guys also?
yeah i knew he was a football player, that's why he used the spear cause he could tackle as no other! But i knew he did or judo or ju jitsu. But didn't knew he still trains with mma fighters
i never know where mark jindrak went after they released him in 2005. i mean back then then tag team division was great. look at it. jindrak and cade, dudleyz, shelton and haas, rosie and hurricane and many others. jindrak's dropkick is the BEST i have ever seen. believe me. better than maven and randy orton's.. him and sean o haire should never have been released.
