Computerized Man of the 2020s

What is the greatest match in WCW history?

The heel Pat McAfee hates the current iteration of the business and the fans so much that he cooked up a 25% discount that the babyface CM Punk asked for.

@CBetress That’s a great summary of it. I do like him but he just doesn’t fit

@wrestletony He's fucking terrible. He was a bad boxing commentator too years ago. He's a great overall sports caster, & he's good at sounding excited & making things excitable. But he has no depth, no knowledge, no understanding of anything he is calling. At least Excalibur is knowledgeable

I think Tessitore might actually be worse than Excalibur

This storyline is the drizzling shits but McAfee can cut a promo.

@GRANDDADWHATTHE lol true, they may already be doing it for all we know

@wrestletony would it really be that much different from 95% of def rebel’s output

I wonder how long until WWE starts using AI-generated theme songs

@BookingOptimal All bangers

@wrestletony These are essential matches: Hogan-Goldberg Hogan-DDP Sting-Vader Rey-Eddie Flair-Steamboat

What is the greatest match in WCW history?

Ok, I’m done! (until any Wrestlemania reveals coming up 🤞🏻) The WWF years all the way up to May 2002! I hope everyone enjoys these, feedback welcome. (I’ll post the 2000-2002 list in the chat).

@KicknOut2 Yeah it feels like they’ve backed themselves into a corner and are scrambling

@wrestletony I agree but lately they’ve overhyped only to under-deliver. I can see Pat hype this surprise only for Randy to turn on him because why does he need Pat anymore? What’s the purpose of keeping him around. It’s on brand for 2009 Randy Orton. But I don’t think this will happen either

Maybe the massive surprise tonight is a pivot to Rock, though it feels unlikely. But when you tease massive, you need to deliver, and I don’t know what they have in their bag of tricks otherwise that can fulfill it.

@wrestletony That weird ladder match for Disco Infernos duck was kinda rad!

Flair vs. Steamboat

Mike Awesome vs the Insane Clown Posse

@wrestletony Hogan vs Nash Nitro 1.4.99 5 stars

@KicknOut2 Some great ones there. You just reminded me how much I love Spring Stampede 1994 too. Might need to watch that tonight.

@wrestletony 4 Horsemen vs Raven/Saturn-Spring Stampede 1999, Funk vs Flair I Quit, Cactus Jack vs Vader-Havoc 93, Sting vs Rude and Cactus/Maxx Payne vs Nasty Boys from Spring Stampede 94, Stramboat vs Austin-Clash of Champions 1994, just a few more to add to your playlist

@THETheTsunaru Both of those are up there for me too

@wrestletony In terms of what? In ring high quality workrate? Probably Guerrero vs Misterio Jr at HH97. Owen tribute match between Bret and Benoit would be in contention.

@WBG84 Lots of recs for this one and I’m in the same boat

Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair - 1989 Chi-Town Rumble

@elliottswrstlin A few votes for this one so far and I tend to agree

Flair vs Funk GAB 89

@TitanUpAndPray @RealDDP @Goldberg Legendary

“Greatest” is so hard to define, but my personal favorite was @RealDDP vs @Goldberg at Halloween Havoc 98. Two fan favorites, no NWO shenanigans, and a GOATed Diamond Cutter. Full event is on YouTube too: youtube.com/live/kJRzqQwZ7…
