General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

Ignoring the fact that Hogan talked Nick Patrick into burying the Starrcade 97 finish and making Sting and Bret Hart look like morons?

Nope. That was a stupid response to it, but supposedly they did that because Sting was completely out of shape and honestly after going back and watching his first 3 months in 1998, he was.

He did not train at all in his time out of the ring.

We'll never know what exactly happened back then

And that justifies wrecking the entire payoff to the angle and making WCW the "dumb fuck finish every show" company again, like it was back when Dusty booked it?

Starrcade 1997 sucks btw.

It really does.

That’s like the number 1 thing to fix.

Nope. Did you read my post?

Stupid response. They both blew it.

Sting should have been in shape and hey shouldn’t have ruined the blowoff.

But blow or not, Sting could have recovered in 1998 if he didn’t suck wind so badly when trying to sell him as the top guy that the nWo feared.

I could remember it wrong, but Hogan also was pretty strong looking in the Sting match

 

[Sabretooth]

Wwe managed to scare Jericho off after nearly 20 years with the company. Then he had a late career resurgence in NJPW and AEW

 

[Death By Looch]

Which was stupid

 

[Comrade Khan]

Hhh never explained or helped ko again. Was weird they didn't blend em

 

[Death By Looch]

Vince probably didn't want to do it

 

[Smart Marx]

He was. Like I said supposedly in no shape to carry the match. I’d have personally found a different way to save it and maybe just have Sting squash Hogan to save the payoff, but Sting really fucked up not being in shape.

A new year and people still arguing the finish from a lifetime ago
