He was great, but his push basically happened by accident - he was Lex's replacement (he even inherited Harley) and after Ron Simmons didn't go quite as mega as expected they put the belt back on him and spent the whole of 1993 at the drawing board. Same thing in the WWF, Yokozuna was meant to just be a failed Wrestlemania challenger like Bundy but then he became a 2 minute champion to make Hogan happy then he became a proper interim champion because Hogan wouldn't lose to Bret, then he became a longer term champion when Luger's win was postponed and the company had to wait for months until a final decision was made to resurrect Bret.

@@thehorrorhound6575 idk why but the big gold belt never looked the same in WWE. Then I hated when they added the red rubies to it. But when you see that belt you have no doubt, this guy is the champ. Same with the IWGP belt and now the AEW belt. Those belts look like world titles. The IWGP being my favorite belt of all time. The WWE belts look like toys. I like the NXT belts, and the new IC belt, but the IC belt just looks like it belongs in NXT cause it doesn't match the theme of all the other toy belts in WWE, I was hoping when Bray got his new belt it was gonna be a whole redesign but no. Vince just wants everything with a big WWE on it like we wouldn't know what it was. A big elt with tons of gold on it will tell anyone who doesn't even watch wrestling that this is a champion. But with the things they have now, you have no idea if he the champion unless you ask if your not a fan cause too much color. Gold is all you need.

He has claimed to be a 21-time champion Plus Dusty Rhodes won it 4 times. But WWE won't say anything about those days.

[@chamindujanith6337]

Flair is only a 19-time World Champion at most(10 NWA, 7 WCW, 2 WWE). Flair's 8th NWA title reign is basically the same thing as his nominal 1st WCW reign. Thankfully WWE only recognizes this as a NWA title reign which it was.

How did you forget about Rickey Steamboat???

[@deactivatedaccount5966]

Loved the video! Any way you guys could rank every WCW Television Champion Best to Worst?

[@honorablespartan]

Number 1: Vince McMachon

That Ready to Rumble movie should have been based on WWF wrestlers not WCW

[@decimationjones2342]

You’re wrong about Luger. He went on a 6 day reign from Hogan. Prior to that he went on a tear, racking big guys and getting over.

[@Kitsune-Chaos]

The Poochy ending for Hogan was all I could ask for.

[@Radeo]

I want to know where they got the "g" from.

[@echopryme]

Let's be honest... right here, right now!!! We're STILL talking about the "Fingerpoke of Doom" after DECADES. It was a great swerve, and got real heat. It WORKS!

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

The finger poke alone, like the taser, wasn't bad. What was bad was going backwards to make the company about Hoke Hogan instead of pushing new wrestlers (like DDP). Basically had Flair beaten Hogan and Hogan's title win over Nash been his last, things would have been better WCW. To which he mentioned this stuff pretty much.

What about Vacant? That guy held it to so many times in 2000.

[@Icehawklb]

You’re talking to the Rolex wearin’, diamond ring wearin’, kiss stealin’, wheelin’ dealin’, limousine ridin’, jet flyin’ son of a gun. And I’m having a hard time holding these alligators down. Woo!

[@LRM5195]

I went back and watched from Hall’s debut in 96 to the closing of the company and I can honestly say, that out of all the BS stuff that never made sense that happened on WCW, it was 14:48 that made me the most angry. Sting winning the belt just to lose it that night had steam coming from my ears and nose. Yet idc about the FPoD or David Arquette / Vince Russo winning the belt lol. Also I absolutely loved Jeff Jarrett’s push in WCW.

[@xSKYKILLAx]

I’d take 2000s WCW over the product we have today

[@eastbro]

Liked the original WCW title that Ron Sommons held. The gold belt belonged to the NWA days. Disappointed when they brought it back.

Love Ron Simmons!!! He was a freaking beast!!!!🤘🤘🤘
