    Yeah i didn't know that about Charles Robinson until i saw Season 1 Episode 9 of WWE's Most Wanted Treasures which was about finding that iconic Butterfly Robe that Flair wore to the ring at Royal Rumble 1992 and Flair had no idea where it was but it turned out that he had given it to Charles Robinson decades prior and they wanted him to give it to the WWE to put in their fan museum but it would still belong to Charles Robinson and it broke my heart to watch him cry when giving it up because of just how much Robinson really admired and looked-up to Flair. Its a great episode and one you really should watch if you have the time because it really shows you a bond that Flair and Robinson had and still have to this very day.

    Looking back at Brian Knobbs wrestling in the hardcore division of WCW, and also remembering the Nasty Boys vs. Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne at Spring Stampede 1994, I'm kind of shocked Knobbs and Saggs never wrestled for ECW, be it in a cup of coffee one off appearance, or in between stints in WCW or WWF. The Nastys could wrestle a good, entertaining brawling match, and I feel like the ECW crowd would have popped big for them.

    Part of what I’ve enjoyed the most about this series is getting to see the sides of things when I was more paying attention to the competition. I watched more wcw in 96 than Shawn Michaels run, and I had all but abandoned the wcw by this point.
    It’s so genuinely bizzare seeing this company in 1999. WCW had major problems going into the begining of the year, but the steep decline is kind of shocking.
    Reforming the NWO in January to ……..the most entertaining match in an entire ppv 5 months later being a ref vs a woman?

    Concerning when the next good WCW PPV is, there’s a relatively good one in 2001, but… you probably hope there’s a good one before then.
    If there is, I can’t recall it.

    When Konnan was making his entrance the audio went out for some reason but it came back on when he was in the Ring
