The "Glacier" thing worked... for the proverbial moment. It was definitely overshadowed by a force that was much bigger, and much better...the nWo!

i liked the resident evil 4 salesman joke

[@Mephiston]

The best bit is where big bubba starts calling out glacier.. pretty sure thats coming up in the next week or two.

[@MarkindVGA]

Man Goldust was seriously underrated. He was a great wrestler and really pushed the limit with what he had to work with .

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Apparently it was Savio who encouraged him with the in ring mind games, getting Dustin to rub himself on him so Savio could mug it up as disgusted to the crowd Not many guys would do that for someone else's career Two of my all time favourites

@@ronaldshank7589 I was always a fan of Malenko's middle rope back breaker

[@ronaldshank7589]

@@ComicBookGuy420 Dude, Dean Malenko was, and probably still is, SUPER-TALENTED! WCW made a huge mistake (among many others), by not pushing him any further than they did.

[@zlinedavid]

Malenko had some of the best pure matches from this era of WCW. This one with Rey and the one from Starrcade against Ultimo Dragon are classics.

[@oldironsides4107]

Malenko had zero personality at all. Pro wrestling is promos and character thatbgarners interest. I bring work is the least import. That’s why he was so easily forgotten and just a sliver of people care. I would rather see Mae young get beaten up that watch or listen tobmalenko

[@razorblademask]

Wrestling Bios vs. Glacier teasers are always my favorite segments.

[@RyanRumbles434]

I'm watching these in succession because I watched the Monday Night Wars. I just realized that the two wrestlers fighting in the KOTR tournament are two wrestlers who injured Austin. Mero at the KOTR shortly after this and Owen at SS 97. Pretty crazy. Great job on these.

[@SleepySheepy99]

I've been watching these episodes of raw and Nitro ahead of time so I can know what happens. And honestly I think a big reason why Raw lost for 83 weeks was how thin the roster was especially in 1996. Like no one wants to see T.L. Hopper except Vince

[@derjude5758]

Same here and thats what i noticed too. The WWE(F) tried to go young all at once and ended up with barely any recognizable talent. Things will get better in 97, albeit slowly. Im in september of 99 now and WCW has been getting spanked for awhile now

[@Thor-Orion]

Also counter programming. Anytime WWF had a good segment, WCW would be sure to put some of their big guns in that same time slot.

Another thing that added to the Austin/Vega match was that they had just finished their feud a month prior, where Savio defeated Austin in a Caribbean Strap Match. This was the moment that sent Teb Dibiasi packing and allowed Austin to do his own thing.
