Eh. Rhodes is what got this going.

Rhodes wants to bring wrestling back to the glory days of WCW before Russo ruined it. It's because his father dusty helped wcw get big to crush WWF.

I'm all for it. WWE has gotten too big for it's ego. Product is stale most of the year. Besides, WCW mid 90's was my favorite era of wrestling. Early late 90's to 2001 WWF comes close second.

4 life

Stacked Tag Division. Outsiders, Steiners, Harlem Heat, Horsemen. Meng/Barbarian

Stacked Cruiserweight Division. Mysterio, Malenko, Juvi, Psychosis, Jericho, Eddie

Stacked Mid Card/Main Event. DDP, Luger, Horsemen, Savage, Giant, Hogan, Sting, Flair, Hennig, Goldberg, Nash, Hall, Piper etc.

Plus you had other mid carders like Raven, Saturn, Mortis, Wrath, etc.

I will watch those shows anyday over what WWE throws out there.

Btw, Tony Schiavone is back in the business. He still does Gwinnett and UGA stuff but he also is the lead announcer for MLW promotion once a week. Look up their shows on youtube. It's awesome to hear his voice commentating again. Hopefully AEW can pick him up. Would give them a lot of credibility if he and Tenay with a third heel guy could do commentary.

You ever listen to Schiavones podcast? Good stuff. They basically rewatch a ppv event from that Time frame and talk about it. The theme song where they change the words in Billy Joel’s ‘we didn’t start the fire’ to lyrics about the nwa-wcw is actually pretty catchy.

Sounds like Jim Ross to AEW for play by play.

He's done some work for MMA and New Japan. AEW hasn't gotten a tv deal yet just this one off PPV so far. So interested to see if JR will move to the booth full time again or just special events like this. I'd still like Schiavone and Tenay to work together again. They just need a good heel announcer like Heenan back in the day to play off of.

Isn't the guy he podcasts with the same guy that does it with Flair and also happened to marry Flair's daughter lol.
