Starrcade 1997 Live Discussion - July 16, 2020

[Hidden Blaze]

Picture going to this show, and sitting near some wrestles.

 

[Chris]

I liked Mortis more than most I felt like, more than Glacier at least

 

[Chris]

He just looked so cool

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I still think they gave up on the Mortis gimmick was too fast. That was a cool look for him. Mask looked great, paint under made it a nice touch. The tights looked cool too ans Kaynon was a fabulous worker. Shoulda done more in 1998.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Like I said at the beginning WCW was 22 years ahead of the curve with paying talent to watch the show in the crowds.

 

[Chris]

That baseball slide into the crossface

 

[Kross Rhodes]

In all seriousness, they did this to make the title match feel so special the workers not working actually wanted to have seats to witness the history.

WOAT Flock member

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Raven was not happy with certain guys forced into his group despite his creative freedom.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Did he just say "what the flock was going on?"

 

[Kross Rhodes]

He did. Goat calls by a goat commentator.

 

[Chris]

I've enjoyed the overbooking and interference spots more than the actual wrestling in this match which surprises me, but they both looked kinda off tonight so the overbooking has helped a ton

 

[Kross Rhodes]

When your try to push back against the Flock's migration patterns, you always get the Even Flow.

 

[Chris]

I mean Saturn needed to win that or the Flock looks like way too big of Chumps but I still don't like him beating Benoit in their current positions I really wish they would have just done Raven/Benoit tonight and still had some fuckery like that
