Which is funny because these conversations are often more nuanced than some like to admit. WCW was more sports presented than the cartoon WWF at the time. There always a good balance to be found in wrestling.
yeah and i can understand being grateful for a product - im not really any different with tony

I'm just saying, EZ E has to take the blame too in the same way Tony has to take some blame for how much bullshit he let Punk get away with
Oh 1000%. The Buck stops on him.

I just don’t know if signing him was possible without his creative control.

Maybe if he overpaid him even more.

I've talked about this already in the past, but Eric Bischoff's biggest issue is that he's a spineless coward with no backbone.

I hate to praise Vince (fucking bleh, go to hell you sick fuck), but Vince at least stood up to people.

Bischoff stood up to people he didn’t find value in.

And catered to those he did.

Yes and no.

Vince was more confident in bouncing back if he lost a top act and Bischoff didn’t want to risk it.

There’s certainly a cowardice there, but it’s also smart to ensure your competitors don’t profit off your fumble. Which Bischoff did a few times off of Vince’s.

I wouldn’t have given anyone creative control though and forced talent to work out their differences.

His was more clever and funnier to me but I don't think as in depth as you about how it could affect the IWC narratives apparently
That’s fair enough. Honestly, the negativity on the internet, especially when it comes to wrestling, is a bit overwhelming sometimes. Maybe I should find a way to tune it out better. I just wish there was less trolls and I wouldn’t have to worry about seeing upcoming nonsense.

Looking forward to seeing more of Jake something. He always impresses me when I watch and I haven’t seen a lot of Laredo kid either so that should be fun.

I'd have broken Hogan's leg.

Respectfully. You don't wanna do the job? I'll make sure you never physically work again. :draper2

That's how Vince shoulda solved the Survivor Series 97 issue.

Woulda saved Starrcade 97 most likely too this way

I'm honestly shocked no one ever shot on hogan . He's a big dude but there's been some killers that would have chewed him up easily in the day. Guess all too scared to get blackballed

To be fair when Hogan was on top, and he wasn’t going to lose regardless most of the people he worked with were just making money being near the draw.

If I was Sting, and I was supposed to be put over there would’ve been issues.
