@@ShinRyojin I still have no idea why WCW deactivated the TV Title after Russo and Bischoff stripped all the belts. After Duggan was stripped of the belt, it just went away. It was always a good lower mid card belt that gave people who weren't doing much something to fight for, similar to the European title in the Federation at the same time. Slightly unrelated, but I loved the final design of the TV Title belt, it was like a mini version of the big gold belt. I know there were several hundred other problems with WCW in 2000 that were bigger than the TV Title disappearing, but it always annoyed me. It just went away with no explanation.
@KHayes6663 жыл бұрын
@@TheTrainFan9 Because, as usual, Russo had no idea how to book wrestling. The TV title was basically the workhorse wrestling title from the 80's to the late 90's and since Russo has no idea how to book wrestling, he had no use for it. I agree with the OP that Storm should have won it and renamed the CBC title to go along with the others if they had no plans for the belt. The TV title should have been feuded over by guys like Palumbo, O'Haire, Jindrak, etc to get them some exposure and promoted as new stars.

I just want to say as someone who drove a Forklift (before this pandemic happened), what they did with Judy was insanely unsafe. I know WCW isn't the only one to use one, Big Show used the forks of one to pin in Boss Man & Bull Buchanan in a car as well as Broke using one to win his stretcher match with Big Show. But trust me, those things are multi-ton crusher's & impalers if someone makes a mistake, someone could easily die or suffer a truly terrible injury. So to see them so casually use one as a prop just kind of makes me nervous to watch.

I was at this event, third row center camera side. Primarily I was a UFC supporter and I came out to see Tank Abbott. I was even wearing a Team Tank UFC shirt that he spotted and pointed at me. A couple of things you might not get from watching this video. This was the first and only WCW event in Vancouver Canada. By the end of the night the audience was very upset in what they saw and started chanting WWF. Booker T got smashed in the head with a full drink of cola. He looked furious, but to his credit he was able to shake it off and break a smile. Another popular chant going on was “BC Bud” every time Kronik came out. I remember Brian Adams cracking a smile when that happened. And if you thought that driving a forklift down to the ring and lifting an old woman up 20 feet on the forks was dangerous, remember this event was sanctioned by the now defunct Vancouver Athletic Commission.

28:20 Thanks Brian, for being a good sport and seeing the match for what it was. Good for WCW as well. If we flip the coin. In 97. The WWF held half a dozen PPV's and Raws in Canada. Yes the Brett storyline had a lot to do with it but even Ottawa got 'Breakdown, in your House 98'. As far as PPV'S, in Canada. After September 98, the Next One, in the entire country, was Wrestlemania Toronto, with Hogan Vs. The Rock. I drove 5 hours to be there. As far as the high volume of shows in Canada, while WCW ruled. I've read, in more than one book, that the reason for so many Canadian shows, was because the Canadian revenue numbers, stayed much higher in Canada, as opposed to the U.S. during the lean years for WWF. In other words, we did watch WCW but Vince used to run 1 or 2 shows a month, in Montreal and Toronto during the later 80's and 90's. The funny thing is. After the Montreal Screw Job, Vince did not book a televised event in Montreal, for 5 years!!! I don't know if it was the crowd, the new arena owners or the bad memories of being Punched out by Brett? All we can do is speculate but Toronto, Ottawa Vancouver. Essentially all the big markets got a Raw, Smackdown or PPV. Montreal still got house shows and we had fun chanting and screamed and we yelled, 'You Screwed Brett' at Earl Hebner and HHH. The only one who never showed up, while I was there, (7 times in 5 years) was Vinnie Mac himself!! Maybe he had prior arrangements. I don't know but they missed a lot of chances, for crazy shows and the company we has stood behind, for decades...dropped us like a bad habit, as soon as the U.S. numbers were back up. In Montreal, we had no televised shows from November of 97 until the night after Wrestlemania in Toronto. That was the only time the two cities 'worked together' and it was to help resurect HULKAMANIA Okay, maybe not the only time But definately the most important time.

My favorite part of this PPV is Lance Storm telling the story of that match. How he felt the only reason Bret came down to give him support was because the concept of the match was fucking bizarre and that with Bret's endorsement, no one would boo him. "I think that's why you're here Bret". That and after the match Lance was the one who had to get them to pose for the hard cam. "I shouldn't be the one in here that knows this!" Lmao, I love that story.
