They could have a resort attached. All the talent could have permanent residencies near their workplace. When you go down to Florida for the weather, or for Disney World or Universal Studios, you can go and see the WWE because, heck, that’s what you do when you visit Florida. Vegas could have a similar appeal to them. Lots of tourists, permanent attractions they can piggy-back off. My guess would be Florida first, because of the PC and their presence there already. |

The clusterfuck booking of this, which was easily the biggest match WCW built to in the 90s, is (imo) what began the downfall of WCW.
Classic Hogan 'that doesn't work for me brother' booking

Worst is when Hogan gives Sting the big boot when he's like barely a foot from the ring ropes leaving him nowhere to fall into place without looking like a geek

I remember the Hogan/Sting buildup as a kid.... to me no match was ever bigger, and hasn't been bigger since. Everyone was talking about it at school, and I think the N64 game had just come out and was popular too and had an ad for the PPV in the box.... The level of hype around that match was just legendary and I still get chills watching the entrance. The way it flashes the half-dissolves of Hogan during Sting's entrance is like the most incredible TV production ever.

Sting wrestled Scott Hall in a dark match like a week before Starrcade so the whole " Sting just showed up to the show out of shape" isn't true.

Soooo it turns out the reason Scarlett didn't come with Kross to RAW had nothing to do with creative separating them. She was just out of action because one of her breast implants exploded and she wasn't cleared yet.

On Sting: I used to just see the Sting side. Pay off the fucking angle. The whole thing was booked to shit even if it went down like it was supposed to. Definitely this protecting of Hogan that screams egos of the time.
That being said, if you’ve given a guy off all this time, and he comes back looking less than they want him to (but it’s not like they couldn’t see him in the weeks and months leading up to this), it is going to cause friction. Sting had a cushy spot that was going to draw him ire if he didn’t “appreciate” it enough. But I think it was just politics disguised as being a reasonable critique of the reality. If you’re trying to undercut a guy for your own stardom (and Hogan’s contract was expiring too), then you try to find a realistic weakness to try and knock him down some pegs. They had Bret Hart coming in and Goldberg coming up too. Such a weird time. I can see Hogan using his status as the heel to edge himself into further importance around this time too. |

Apparently on The Bump X-Pac alluded to a wrestling return. Said he would be ring ready by 2022 in case the phone rings. Seems like a Rumble spot would be most likely.
He’d seemingly be a better agent for AEW than Billy Gunn, but is the more likely guy to end up doing spots with WWE. |

could definitely see him doing some work in the ring with GCW. i know he's worked with them doing commentary in the past, and they use a number of "legends" on their shows (effy vs. 2 cold scorpio from a few months ago was really fun).

GCW would definitely use him. He’d probably get work in AEW too. But since he did this on a WWE program, you’d have to think something is in the works there, right? Unless that program is so under the radar he just went into business for himself? I honestly don’t know about that show.
I wonder what a 49 year old sober X-Pac looks like. Has he aged like milk or does he show up everyone? |

Typical wwe network edit of the music, can hear the usual canned audience noise as well.

Only 30 minutes of wrestling in two hours is the Vince/Kevin Dunn effect for sure |

Early in his career but that Jericho still remains one of my favourite Jerichos from the years.
