Halloween Havoc 1997 Live Discussion - December 27, 2020

[Leon TrotSky]

ODB/Jackie vs. Velvet Sky/Ms. Brooks was a good feud, and I am not just saying that because it's the first TNA feud I ever saw

 

[Smart Marx]

But nothing comes off it since Jackie disappears from TV right after.

 

[Hoss]

Prolific manager of the one and only Beer Money Inc.

 

[Smart Marx]

Yeah, I always liked Jackie, too, EC.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Why is this crowd into this match?

 

[Chris]

Crowd was into everything in 97 lol

 

[Smart Marx]

I don't know why they didn't have Jackie wrestling Luna and Madusa and had the women's title in the states instead of retired with Akira in Japan because she never returned.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

For better or worse I guess.

Akira was the best champion ever and that's why. Couldn't top her.

 

[Smart Marx]

Why is this crowd into this match?

Disco was consistently a top draw for WCW. They want to see him get his comeuppance.

 

[Smart Marx]

Akira was the best champion ever and that's why. Couldn't top her.

She was good, but she didn't come back and you don't kill an entire division over one person staying in their home country.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

She was good, but she didn't come back and you don't kill an entire division over one person staying in their home country.

You do when that person's the Hulk Hogan of women's wrestling.

 

[Chris]

Speaking of abandoned titles, Sugar Sato is the current and final WCW Women's Cruiserweight Champion having won it a month or so before this show

For sure, but Meltz actually looked at the ratings quarters hours and Disco was a top 3 draw every year he worked in WCW. It's crazy how over he was.

I know... Crowds were even into Brutus fuckin' Beefcake when he was a face
