Hangman is the main character. Even been called it on the show a lot.
Blaze gets it, hangman and the total package for life.

This is why binges are so fun cause we got to see the set up between macho man and the total package on the first episode. Now we get to see them wrestle the opening of this show. This is so fun.

thank you guys for explaining some things :)
There's a few other terms too like Jobber/Jabroni = Talent who is paid to lose to make others look good, as in "Doing the Job", Booker = The person behind the scenes responsible for writing finishes and pushing talent, and writing the stories. Agent = The person responsible for making sure the match goes smoothly, and leading wrestlers through the flow and story of the match backstage. Botch = An unintentional fuck up during a wrestling match or angle. Angle = Any segment on a wrestling show that is not a wrestling match itself, it can also mean a story. Burial = A more or less outdated term, but a burial is where a booker and other wrestlers intentionally make another talent look bad, weak, or not worthy of being in the company. Pop = A reaction from the crowd. Heat = A reaction from the crowd when a heel does something dastardly or intentionally makes the crowd angry, but not hostile; Cheap Heat can consist of either mocking an audience, their hometown, a local sports team, or a hometown wrestler.

Cody Rhodes is called the Quarterback but he don't throw no damn footballs (lol). I get that. It just feels like Death Riders are still main story on RAW even after losing

This is why WCW spoils us though because this is a match that I would’ve personally would’ve booked on pay-per-view, but they’re just giving it to us on the opening of nitro.

The main villains are always the drivers of the story, but they’re not the ones you’re supposed to be rooting for the main character is the good guy your stone cold, your hogan, etc.

WCW tended to book PPVs to push weekly TV. Make sense given they are owned by the TV network

Oh, I get it. I’ve never knocked them like other people do. Because they are owned by a TV company. They care more about ratings than they do about pay-per-view buys.

Although if I ever personally booked WCW like I have been behind the scenes, been trying to get one together I would still book more towards the pay-per-view just because that’s to me what makes more sense for a wrestling company to do plus I think once they merge with AOL when it comes to the pay-per-view if it was actually making money, we might be able to get Jamie Kellner to not be stupid in this timeline.

Another way to compare it to how AEW is booked. You tune in on a Wednesday or Saturday, and you sometimes get a PPV Quality match as the opener.

God these guys are great
The best. I honestly couldn’t think of two better people to put together at the main event level in 1995 WCW than these two right here. Only guy missing is Sting.
