Starrcade 1997 Live Discussion - July 16, 2020

[Kross Rhodes]

In four months Bret is a "satellite member" of the nWo.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Hall cheerleading on the outside that this was a state championship game in the home arena.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I just watched a video earlier that talked about WWE 13. Which is what made me think of it. Like, it was cool having the Attitude Era. But I would love to have people from the WCW Roster at that time also. With like, WCW themes and looks.

 

[Chris]

The announcers mad that Bret won't let Larry cheat

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Like give me Buff dammit

 

[Kross Rhodes]

My favorite thing about WCW and this angle, is they encouraged the announcers to be bias since their jobs are on the line.

 

[Chris]

The announcer bias makes perfect sense in storyline here at least compared to like say Gorilla's more egregious defenses of Hogan cheating that Jesse Ventura picked apart

 

[Chris]

Vince was pretty bad at having nonsensical defenses for faces too

 

[Chris]

At least these announcers can just be "fuck nWo" and it's great

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Yeah here it makes total sense for what is going on. Like if it was just some good guy vs a bad guy with nothing really on the line it would be bad that the announcers acted that way.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Vince thinks kisses female heels mangers, slapping their asses and pedigreeing them thru tables is perfectly honest babyface thing to do. So makes sense.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Yeah, they are a lot of storylines where the good guy doesn't look so much like a good guy...

 

[Chris]

Tony dropping that tweener line

 

[Chris]

I was just about to say they're making it really obviously they're teasing Bret in the nWo but Tony just flat out said that so no tease

 

[Jimmy King]

I love when the announcers get into it because Bisch as a character is such a slimeball
