I've listened to Lance Storm narrate his whole career including that time and he's baffled at how much it's remembered because of how short it actually was lol

That is wild to hear. It really is. And yet, even though so many people remember it, it's still overlooked, in my opinion, by many on how white-hot Storm was, coming off an ECW main event, coming through the crowd to debut in WCW, and winning three belts, all in two months. Incredible character stuff and might be one of the greatest debuts ever.

Time to bring some levity and insanity: I wrote about the "mother of all matches": Cat Vs Dog, the battle of the Animal Kingdom.

Seriously, Ernest Miller vs Dog from WCW 2000. Enjoy.

SABU VS CANDIDO: The OTHER Interpromotional Match in 2000 | The Big Bang May 6

Due to a chance find of an old ECW Hardcore Hotline ad, Bankie Bruce writes about the interpromotional match between WCW & ECW in May 2000 for XPW.

www.thebigbangmay6.com

Many do not remember that there was, technically, ANOTHER interpromotional match in the year 2000 other than Mike Awesome and Tazz. I have found the other one: Sabu vs Chris Candido. ECW vs WCW in May 2000 for XPW. Technically, it counts. Here's how it came together.

Do you know what match this is? I see people mentioning the State Patrol in the replies

There were a couple State Patrol vs Brad Armstrong and Tim Horner matches on WCW Pro, those are my best educated guess

With WWE going to Germany with their first PLE from the country, we go back to 11/16/00, where WCW did it first with the German-exclusive Millennium Final PPV, including Sting defended his European Cup from 1994.

Wrestling needs more special venues...

That's all.

KID ROMEO: What Could Have Been | The Big Bang May 6

Bankie Bruce writes about what could have been with inaugural Cruiserweight Tag Team Champion Kid Romeo had WCW continued in 2001.

www.thebigbangmay6.com

For the first time in a minute, The Big Bang May 6 has been updated with a post on Kid Romeo and What Could Have Been had the company not closed.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Romeo is one of MANY guys who were lost to the wrestling business thanks solely to WCW's collapse. I'm sure TNA could have found a place for him if they weren't pissing about with Russo and Co. in 2002-03
