Halloween Havoc 1998 Live Discussion - October 18, 2020

[Chris]

Yeah I'd say August was the tipping point for me I noticed

 

[Chris]

God I can't believe Hogan/Warrior is still to come

 

[Chris]

Yeah Sting's out

 

[Kross Rhodes]

What a finish. They did this cuz Sting needed personal time to deal with marriage.

 

[Hoss]

Warrior's real life insanity went unchecked in WCW lol

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Ninja.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Eric didn't realize Warrior was insane.

 

[Sky]

WCW was definitely much better before August. August things changed in the creative teams and Turner started inferring. So I'll give you that, for sure. Warrior should have been a homerun, but man was out of his mind.

Warrior would never have been a homerun. He was an anti-draw and backstage problem in 96, he'd have been worse in 98

 

[Kross Rhodes]

His first Nitro he went wildly off script and rambled 10 minutes over his time.

 

[Chris]

Hey the black and white have won the last two matches it poses well for Hogan

 

[Chris]

Oh shit I gotta smoke some real quick before this Hogan/Warrior match tho, Sting getting helped out should be plenty of time

 

[Hoss]

Buyer's remorse hit Eric like a ton of bricks

Warrior drew numbers for WCW the first couple of weeks he was there. It was until Warrior showed he was a spaz that the allure wore off.

Facts. He literally just sends Warrior home after this. He paid Warrior big bucks to come and only let him work the summer.

 

[Hoss]

I still got like 3/5 a bottle of champagne I'm working on
