Steve Occasional Pre-Show. Joined: Jun 2, Messages: 68 Likes Received: The DVD's are edited to oblivion and quite literally have the life sucked out of them by Kevin Dunn and his production team. Examples are the entrance themes of the Wrestlers either being edited or changed altogether Goldberg, Savage, Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, and 'Hollywood' Hogan who used Jimmi Hendrix's 'Voodoo Chile' from early '97 - August '99 not the stock-standard nWo theme are just some that have been altered.
Crowd noise has been all but muted on many if not all of the above DVD releases and even the explosions from pyrotechnics have been removed also. All the talking heads that appear, are usually prepared by members of production and spout utter crap! Captain Morgan Freeman and Matth3w like this.

How do you know so much? Joined: Mar 26, Messages: 13, Likes Received: 3, Should they have been kept separate? Why didn't some stars make the move? What was the reason behind the Invasion story? Hulk Hogan, Sting and many other talents were not going to come over. That is just ridiculous to even think. Business picked up in late and set a major PPV record Invasion was the highest non-'Mania buy rate of all time.
Nothing can be debated next to the bottom line. In true irony, we are now seeing reports of TNA Wrestling reportedly having financial problems. Nearly 11 years to the date, another wrestling company trying to compete with WWE is in the news for all the wrong reasons.
TNA tried to repeat history in with a Monday night "War" that never was a war. Could they repeat the same fate as WCW in ? We shall see Follow Justin Watry on Twitter! Enjoy our content?

Cancel Update. Guess what WCW did. Nobody told the cable companies that the event was to run three and a half hours, so fans missed the main event. How did these people almost beat Vince McMahon? In reality, he was a flash in the pan whose title reign put WWE's business in the toilet and every subsequent return he made to WWE was marred in disaster.
Warrior entered the company to much fanfare by interrupting a Hulk Hogan promo. Despite saying that beating Hogan was no big deal at WrestleMania VI, he challenged him to a rematch. This along with a bunch of hokey segments and Warrior's usual awful matches stained WCW and cost them a good chunk of change.
It ain't Brock Lesnar money, but Hart couldn't say no to that. On top of that, Vince made it clear to Hart the WWE was in such financial peril that he couldn't afford to pay him the year contract they had agreed to.
Unfortunately, all the money went to complete waste as WCW did close to nothing of value with their hottest acquisition. It would take all the way until late for them to put him in the World Title picture and through most of his run kept him as a bland heel aligned with the nWo like so many others. Bret Hart in WCW should have been special; instead, he was just like everyone else.
Heck, they even went so far as to start a faction of an nWo type of spinoff - the Latino World Order. But that's not all WCW tried. And it was a complete disaster. The man who Eric Bischoff had cut the deal with, Mexican wrestling promoter Paco Alonso had backed out of the deal just before the first taping of the show and made a headache for WCW.
This was war however and both companies needed all hands on deck to win the battle for ratings supremacy. But this massive roster could bite you in the ass if you were the idiotic Neanderthal in charge of travel for WCW. Get this; despite only using maybe wrestlers per show, the promotion would purchase plane tickets for the ENTIRE roster. Yes, since WCW had literally hundreds of wrestlers under contract, the company would buy tickets for dozens of wrestlers who would never use them.
This finally stopped in , one of the only smart decisions they made that year. Who is that child that with his arms stretched out in the middle of the ring? Why it's Rey Mysterio of course.
