I've always wondered if the "New Blood Rising" PPV name was also supposed to be an inside nod at Bob Mould working for the WCW at time, playing off the Husker Du album "New Day Rising". Anyway, one of the worst parts of Russo's time in WCW was him constantly having commentary say things like "we didn't go over that in production meetings" or "that wasn't on the format sheet". By having them say that, it makes it feel more preplanned, showing it was actually supposed to happen.😂

@Wrestling Bios, I get the attempt at humour with the PTSD comment, but as someone who suffers from it, I’m going to state it’s in poor taste. Before the comment section eats me alive, hear me out. My diagnosis and symptoms keep me an introvert for 75% of the time. I don’t like crowds, have trouble being around strangers and as an adult, sometimes need someone to go out with me as an anchor to safety. Your videos and a great other content creators are my life line so to speak. Topics that interest me and give me a distraction from daily misery.

Hogan and Flair is always funny because it was the obvious dream match all through the 80s. They finally were both together in WWF but it never happened. Then WCW would do it like 90 times or so, and while I'm sure the match drew money and all. Feels like both guys were well past their primes and/or realized they didn't need to put any effort in because WCW needed them more then they needed it
