  • I am in the middle of a house move so nothing but REUPS this week I’m afraid! This an episode of Wcw Nitro that was rated as the worst due to what happens with Vince Russo and the title. Let’s see if it’s as bad as they say!

    Suggestion for future episodes: Raw from April 18, 2005. It had an 11 minute Jim Ross match in the main event, Viscera forcing a kiss on Trish, almost no clean finishes, and the best match was Shelton vs Simon Dean.

Before that in 1990 Slaughter was an Iraqi sympathizer with General Adnan and Colonel Mustafa. Ten years later in WCW in the year 2000 Duggan would be a turncoat and side with Canadian Lance Storm and his Canadian cast of Elix Skipper, Pierre Oulllete and Major Guns.
