World Wrestling Federation hates fun

WCW really having legit beach bunnies in bikins rubbing down Jesse on the stage. WCW was too cool for school. This is living your gimmick and selling to your PPV audience.

SCOTTY FLAMINGO

 

[Kross Rhodes]

WWE would do a gambling gimmick PPV and the only think they did to sell it was have dice in the name graphics. Here WW has women in bikinis on their fake beach.

 

[Hoss]

Scotty Flamingo was kind of dope

 

[Kross Rhodes]

It's Pink Raven in a Polo.

The fake beaches and graveyards for HH PPVs were literally the fucking best things ever to me

Bulky Brian

Did you guys know WWE retroactively recognized this Light Heavyweight title as the beginning of the Cruiserweight title where WCW always had them as separate belts? Shit like that interests me

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I preferred the one at the actual beach, but otherwise I'll take the fake beach. Anything that sells the PPV gimmick. Big up for me. The best is the huge pumpkin in the 1998-1999 Halloween Havocs.

 

[Hoss]

Let's fo Scotty!

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Did they? I thought WCW had them as the same belt and WWE split the records?

 

[Chris]

Honestly Pre-Raven Raven was ridiculously entertaining in WCW and WWF from what little he did, I wonder what his career would have been like if he never became the dark character
