General Wrestling Discussion

I can't find it in a hurry but someone in this thread mentioned if Big Boss Man had a ceiling if he had not goofed the Steve Austin spot. I think the Boss Man gimmick reached it peak and that's cool, everything doesn't have to be a main event gimmick.

Could you imagine a heel Boss Man in 2026? Some psychotic troon would've ended up killing the guy

I would imagine that Boss Man would've had a few week angle with Austin but wasn't going to get a world title reign or even probably a PPV match vs Austin. There's no way that he would've gotten a title reign with the stacked roster they had then. Back then there were a lot of two week angles where one week, a guy would do something to someone and then the week after would be their match and that was it. Given that Austin was feuding with the corporation, I would guess that would've been the case here.

Next week's episode is gonna be sad. Renegade was a green wrestler in the WCW Power Plant (or whatever the equivalent was at the time). He was no where near ready but looked a bit like Warrior so they called him up, pushed him hard, but he didn't have the charisma of warrior and was dogshit in the ring being green and all that. Real warrior signs, so he gets buried, then released, then commits suicide.

You can't help but to dread stories like his because from what I understand he died broke, no family, no kids just dust in the wind. Poor guy was a victim of circumstances and realistically if he had hung around, he might've found his footing and carried his career a little further. The WCW Power Plant was one of the worst things to happen to wrestling in those days and The Renegade is another unfortunate example.
 
This week’s JCW Lunacy gets to the first match in 17 minutes after the opening. Russo is slacking!
 
I guess Russo wasn’t totally slacking. Only 4 matches on the show, not counting the throwback match. Speaking of which, I know it’s probably licensing issues necessitating it, but the audio for the throwback matches being removed is really annoying.
