"A sadly too on the nose comment from this Bret Hart promo about "the WCW" in 2000 You have no doubt heard the start of that clip before but maybe not what it was in relation to Earlier on the same Thunder we had seen Mike Awesome saddled with a new That 70s Guy gimmick host the Lava Lamp Lounge Yep they made him host a talking segment. But his words had more of a bitterness than we realised Unbeknownst to us fans The Hitman had just been formally told his wrestling career was over due to his severe concussion Though a leading sports medical doctor had already warned him of this in January"

"Rowdy Roddy Piper had heralded him as the new Millennium wrestler when the pair were out together in 2003. Sean O'Haire was a three-time WCW Champion and had been named Rookie of the Year by the Wrestling Observer in 2000. He and Chuck Palumbo had an immediate feud with the Hardy Boyz in the Invasion angle. He then developed a Devil's Advocate-style character with intriguing vignette before being paired with Piper - and even beating Hulk Hogan (as Mr America.) Sadly Sean's push was halted with Piper being fired and he was released in 2004. Palumbo told That 90s Wrestling Podcast of his former"

"Eric Bischoff said of this promo: "It was the worst feeling I'd ever had on live TV". The Ultimate Warrior made his shock WCW debut a quarter of a century ago tonight - and it was a disaster. Nitro was trailing Raw in the ratings war so panicked and Bischoff accepted Hollywood Hogan's suggestion of bringing in the Warrior: "Hulk was like 'the guy is a head case.but I think there's money there'" The in-ring promo was meant to be X minutes long - but went another XX mins because of Jim Hellwig's pacing around and ramblings. It ended with him vowing to see Hogan "at the same Warrior time same"

"This aired during the half time of the 1999 Super Bowl on the USA Network. I loved rewatching this Empty Arena match between The Rock and Mankind for the WWF Title. The match stipulation was Jim Cornette's ideainspired by the Terry Funk v Jerry Lawler (dull) bout in the 80s. Mick Foley revealed in his book that they didn't rehearse or even retake a scene. Vince McMahon was on commentary and took a different approach to normal explaining a lot of the background to viewers who may not be usually watching their shows. This was recorded just X days after the paid's brutal I Quit match - and"

"And surprisingly it doesn't start with him setting up a tag team match - or going one on one with the Undertaker. After firing Kurt Angle as SmackDown GM Vince McMahon appoints a surprise replacement - Teddy Long. We'd recently seen him as a heel manager of Mark Jindrak: the Reflection of Perfection and before that the race-baiting creator of the X Minute White Boy Challenge. He told the 2017 Hall of Fame he revealed that he only found out about his new role XX mins before the show taping became. He said: "Nervous again. But I couldn't let the WWE down as I had the opportunity of a lifetime"

They wanted me to be my brother He was incredibly talented in the ring and very funny out of it but was saddled with a string of bad gimmicks in his career in WCW.

"Eddie Guerrero makes his return to the ring after his near fatal car crash X months earlier. And he looks as good as ever against Juventud Guerrera.

"There's no mercy in this business. If you can't produce the fans can tell. It doesn't matter how much they love or respect you they'll turn their back on you if you can't deliver in the ring.
