Buy rates were absolute shit for Mania 12 and 97 Raw ratings may as well be TNA ratings when you use a 97 context of less channels and no DVRs or decent streaming lol real player.

Wendi Richter now there's a underrated girl, and Quebecers a underrated tag team.

Plan on seeing all the COC at some point, such a great concept back in the day!

Quebecers were B+ players at best, now the Fabulous Rougeaus...those guys were GOATS.
