I used to buy the WCW magazine all the time too along with the WWF Magazine

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Yeah, like kayfabe wise, would it not have been smart to not even have Nick Patrick's name in the drawing?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Back before Vince took Goldberg's first name.

 

[Jimmy King]

HERE COMES MONGO

 

[Chris]

Mongo At least he's not commentating

 

[Kross Rhodes]

that's great, I can def see them supposed to win over the original team and I kinda don't mind the finish change anyway

I'm never made to see a Mach Elbow Drop. Plus, this helps build to the Scott Steiner selfish angle that starts in 1998 that leads to Big Poppa Pump.

He was reinstated and has been fair and impartial smh don't discriminate against past actions

Its 2020, thats all we do is talk about peoples past

Be the change you want to see in the world, don't give in to the will of the masses

 

[Kross Rhodes]

It's crazy to see how much of a rookie Goldberg is in 1997 and how fast he climbs the ladder in 1998. He'll be champion by July on Nitro.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Fun fact, Mongo has a victory over Goldberg here, but in 1998 the retroactively uncanonize it.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

You do a ref drawing cuz you're clearly worried about bias officiating, so this might not be the show to let Nick have his second chance.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Am I the only one who pictures how we would react to these old shows if we legit was watching in real time?

 

[Chris]

It's hard for me to do that unless I imagine how I'd react at the age I was when it aired...and I'd be like 16 months old here lol

 

[Chris]

But that's what I do when we watch anything I didn't watch live from when I was older lol
