Still don't understand how WCW debuted Rey on a PPV, have him face Psicosis at the next and then book him to get a fluke win on a Nitro.....stupid.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Aries/Roode was a tremendous match, may have to rewatch that later tonight.

I used to watch ECW on scifi when it was there, it was one of the only channels we had. I still wish they kept it around...

Aries/Roode was a tremendous match, may have to rewatch that later tonight.

And that may go down as the last great ever show TNA ever host too.

I loved the Mysterio/Dean series, maybe the highlight of WCW at the time outside of the NWO of course.
