Halloween Havoc 1997 Live Discussion - December 27, 2020

I love that WCW gave Hennig such chances in the ring still despite him not being at the level he used to be

Imagine if Hennig never broke his back.

 

[Barry Poppins]

He'd probably still be in WWF tbh if that never happened.

 

[Chris]

Flair doesn't look like he's in the greatest of shape rn either lmao he's less flabby in the early 2000s I think

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Same, Chris. Eric gets crap for maybe giving people mains that were over the hill, but for the most part he let performers that weren't ready to be taken out to pasture yet and still ply their trade.

 

[Chris]

But holy shit these two dont' even have to do anything to be entertaining

 

[Hoss]

Thankfully he never went to Texas.

It certainly didn't pay off for HBK, Taker, Austin, The Funks, Dusty Rhodes or Daniel Bryan did it

 

[Chris]

Bro all three commentators going off tho

 

[Chris]

Don't forget Mark Henry, EC

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Vince still wanted Randy to retire and he was fine health wise. He also told Ric to go back to WCW so something tells me he'd still have benched Hennig.

 

[Hoss]

Booker T

No it didn't since they all retired at various points, eh?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Booker T

My man.

 

[Hoss]

Who this section has unanimously agreed is the GOAT

 

[Chris]

He pretty much already did bench Hennig, Smark lol he kept throwing him on commentary

 

[Chris]

I thought Booker T was from Harlem
