Fall Brawl '98 gotta be the WOAT

 

[Chris]

This Steve-a-Mania promo

 

[Keith]

Is 98 when they had three teams? I know its the one Warrior appears in.

 

[Chris]

Yeah it was Wolfpac vs Hollywood vs WCW and pins were allowed for the first time and whoever got the fall got a title shot, which kinda threw teamwork out the window

 

[Chris]

Plus falls could have happened at anytime and didn't even need everyone in the ring which thankfully wasn't booked to happen

 

[Chris]

But it did give us the DDP/Goldberg match at Halloween Havoc so there's one plus out of that shitty event

 

[Chris]

"Mustafa couldn't be here tonight because unfortunately he had a little run in with 5-0, you know what I'm sayin?" Fuckin' New Jack bro

 

[Chris]

The dude that played Mantaur is on this ECW show and the crowd won't stop chanting "Mantaur sucks"

 

[Deezy]

New Jack is top 5 promos imo.....

 

[Chris]

USA replaying Raw last night before SmackDown...a top 10 most watched TV station replaying a show that's everyone won't stop talking about "low ratings" just shows how bad ratings are across the board for everything

 

[Deezy]

Almost like someone been saying this forever

 

[Smart Marx]

Most of the top stations like ABC and NBC still draw 5-15's. Cable ratings are down for sure, though. That said, WWE are panicking more than anyone. They're so desperate to fix their ratings they've changed their creative approach at least 5 times in the last 18 months. USA though probably don't care because as they've shown WWE probably are still their highest rated show.

 

[Smart Marx]

The funniest of which is eliminating the wrestling during commercials. Like two falls matches will bring back the ratings.

 

[Chris]

Just the fact that USA is still a top 10 channel, just behind the big 4, a couple news channels and ESPN shows that it's not as big of a deal as made out to be, but I do agree WWE seems to be panicking regardless

 

[Smart Marx]

I don't know how many houses USA is in now, but I remember during the Monday Night Wars Vince complained all the time USA wasn't in as many houses as he'd like. He said USA was often not in the first cable package.
