    I was at that ppw. Had forgotten about a lot of the earlier matches. Sid breaking his leg is something I'll never forget. You could hear it snap & knew something really bad happened. After the cameras stopped it was pretty chaotic around the ring with EMT's & the ring crew rushing to get the ropes down. I believe he went to Methodist hospital here. A few years ago a Louisville basketball player had the same kind of compound fracture during the Final Four here. The same Dr that did Sid's surgery did this kids.

      Tony Schiavone revealed on his podcast a while ago that the plan was to have all of the minor PPVs (so excluding SuperBrawl, Great American Bash, Bash at the Beach, Fall Brawl, & Starrcade, I guess?), be named after the Seven Deadly Sins, with Sin itself being the start of it all. Unfortunately, only Greed actually happened (which was way too on-the-nose for WCW's last PPV, I feel), but while the concept is neat I think it would have been really hard to market PPVs named "WCW Gluttony", "WCW Lust", or "WCW Sloth", though I think "WCW Wrath" & "WCW Pride" would have worked.
