Since the mid 80s at least, Meltzer was backstage bc of Funk for a lot of Japan and WCW shows

awesome shit

 

[Chris]

For further analysis tho, as good as 1989 WCW was received critically and looked back upon now, business fucking sucked

 

[Chris]

The second flair and steamboat match was at the super dome in New Orleans and it wasn't even like 25% full

 

[Comrade Khan]

big fan of a quick look into eras like that, bummer the biz sucked overall

 

[Chris]

I think it was improving with the flair funk feud at least and later in the year had the rise of sting and liger but 1990 and 1991 they fucked up a lot so none of it amounted to anything really

 

[Chris]

Luger not liger lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

we are almost 48 hours out. was that AEW's most violent and dark show? thought they really leaned into the hardcore and alternative parts of their brand and it really worked as a show. completely different vibes than All In tho. felt like Empire Strikes back for ther ending of a lot of the feuds

jesus, and people worry these days about 2k attendances on a weekly tv show - the power of tv money

 

[Chris]

I think it was the day of WrestleMania 4 too if I remember right lol

 

[Chris]

Show was easily the most violent lmao

 

[Comrade Khan]

Show was easily the most violent lmao

like to the point where even I am like...wow...that was a lot of murder lol

 

[Chris]

I'd say dark too bc nothing happy really happened lmao Ospreay winning I guess

 

[Comrade Khan]

i was expecting willow and garcia to win for example. willow especially. but we got ROH TK booking this shit

 

[Comrade Khan]

only pain for the babyfaces overall

 

[Comrade Khan]
