Punks Watch Starrcade 1994: Hulk! Sting! Vader! Three Main Events!

[Wang Chung]

I think the biggest difference is maybe, just maybe Easy E would have been able to buy WCW and shop it to a different network.

Can you imagine if WCW was still around on say FX or something in 2014? That would be so tight.

I don't know about the Rock, as Austin and the Attitude Era is what made him snap and become the star he did.

Yeah I know. The rock was about to go away and they let him do that one time speech that created the Rock because the E was down on him so he could have still been there.

WCW on FX in 2014 would be great and no TNA

 

[Smart Marx]

Man is PWI even in business anymore.


Yeah it is.

It is, but you really have to look for it to find it. The internet killed wrestling magazines. WWE is even shutting theirs down.

 

[Wang Chung]

Harlem Heat should be the tag team of the year. I love that Sherri has the Heat on her glasses. Little things like that go a long way to build a team.

Seconded. I don't understand the Nasty Boys love. They sucked I even hated them when I was younger

 

[Wang Chung]

I think Harlem Heat beat them.

Jeff Jarrett never would have lost his job with WCW, unless Easy E cut him. Then maybe there's be a TNA. But it would be the ECW of the current fight.

 

[Wang Chung]

I still think WCW would have folded with all the money they were spending on people and if Easy E bought them out I don't know how he could have afforded to keep them all.

 

[Wang Chung]

What do you call a woman with 2 million dollars? Divorced

 

[Smart Marx]

Seconded. I don't understand the Nasty Boys love. They sucked I even hated them when I was younger

Nasty Boys are awful and what's puzzling is Harlem Heat are so underrated. Not only back then, but today. You hardly hear about Heat in discussion of great teams.

harlem heat was great. I think they were one of the better tag teams ever.

He wouldn't have had to. Just like with WWE, all the top money makers would have stayed at home and taken their AOL paychecks. Easy E only would have paid smaller contracts.

I also imagine Easy E would have even cut some of those contracts, too, to cut costs. People forget Bischoff cut the budget when he took over in 1994 and made them a profit for the first time in history. The only reason he threw around money was because it wasn't coming from WCW, and because Turner kept getting on him to make WCW a competition to WWF.

Yeah Bischoff was smart but was in the end who gets blamed for the downfall wrongly.

I forgot how much I hated Sherri's voice when she was screaming at people

 

[Smart Marx]

"Here he comes, Booker T." You have to love Sherri charging up her boys.

 

[Wang Chung]

Booker should have kept the short hair. He looks more menacing

 

[Smart Marx]

I forgot how much I hated Sherri's voice when she was screaming at people

I love her screaming. You can really feel her presence and it gets me into the match.
