Starrcade 1997 Live Discussion - July 16, 2020

same same. Like, just something about a huge belt is nice.

WWE's big Ws don't count tho

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Hall accompanying Bischoff for this match is a little foreshadowing for him choosing Hollywood over Wolfpac next year.

 

[Chris]

Hall was a brown noser

 

[Jimmy King]

The best looking AEW belts is the world title and the tag titles

 

[Chris]

Chose to go corporate and then they dropped him in 2000 and his true friend Nash was having to fight for Scott's job himself

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I've only seen the nest belt in pics, but it looks gross to me. Better than some WWE belts for sure, but it doesn't hold a candle to the 2003 design.

 

[Chris]

I wonder how Grim feels about this match

 

[Hidden Blaze]

You remember back when the WWE games had a theme each year? They did the WCW one kinda one year with some stuff in the story mode thing....but I wish they did like a MNW one, where you play some of the best moments from Raw and Nitro, unlock a lot of the wrestlers from both WWF and WCW. Like that would have been a great great game.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

What's funny is the main story that drives the Wolfpac split is Easy E irl fire Syxx to keep the Outsiders in control, and then Hall chooses Easy E over Nash. You should hear them do shoots on this. They can't explain why Hall made that choose either. Even taking that out, Hollywood was the uncool nWo, why would Hall choose Giant, Vincent, Disciple and Hogan over Luger, Savage, Nash and Konnan?

Yeah I fucking hated that other than the legends characters and classic arenas bc it made me realize how much better I liked the original story modes lol

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Grim must love it. Both these guys are AWA alums.

 

[Chris]

They bastardized the fuck out of history sometimes

 

[Chris]

But I did really fuck that we got some more obscure guys for the WCW and Attitude Era themes instead of the stereotypical legends

 

[Chris]

I was so hype that Gangrel was on the Attitude Era one just bc that meant his theme would be on the game
