A segment of a 4 on 1 Falls Count Anywhere No DQ Texas Death I Quit Match between Billy Kidman and Horace Hogan where if Horace loses or Hulk interferes, Horace is fired ending with Kevin Nash chasing everyone off and blood intending to fall onto him missing (and actually getting on fans sitting on the front row)... ...is the most Vince Russo/WCW 2000 I think I've ever heard.
Bonus Points: Horace gets fired and is immediately forgotten about because of the Kevin Nash stuff literally right after. No time whatsoever to even process that Horace is fired. Nobody cared. The very, very few people that did didn't even have time to care. His entire career is literally an afterthought.

My favorite chiropractor story is when they “released” my girlfriends hip, and we went to a real dr. the next day and realized she had a fracture. Only in the US is this shit accepted as medicine
my little brother hurt his back badly playing college sports and his school sent him to a chiropractor before they would pay for actual medicine. my brother has not played since the injury and now needs specialty back surgery. i don’t know if the chiropractor made it worse but he certainly fucking didn’t help.
Bro EVERY SINGLE ONE lol..I feel like he's the detention (teacher??/Big Boss Man style child guard??) and the two dorks that show up there every day even though they don't have detention.. they're just latchkey kids..with wrestling..sometimes lol...
1:28:00 I found a clip of the scene that looks like it was ripped from some tv broadcast. Idk how the botch got leaked, but in the tape it just cuts to Kevin after the blood's finished pouring. Nash actually looks kinda badass standing there no selling the blood, makes me think of Kane, or something out of a really over the top slasher movie.
Only on a DPW podcast that the review of the Thunder episode with the Vampiro/Sting interview and the blood missing Nash by a mile can be titled after Horace Hogan
Can you please react to the episode where Vince McMahon is crushed by the titantron during million dollar mania😂😂 it’s during the pg era but I think you guys will love the episode 😂😂
I will never understand why did Russo made the New Blood the Heels in this angle and the Millionares club faces shouldn't it be the other way around making the young guys faces and the veterans heels but sadly it was not the case. Cause man so much young talent wasted in this angle. Also why did this remind me of how meh the new My Rise story of 2k23 is for the male superstar is. 😮💨
Because Russo thinks faces are losers and heels are cool. In fairness he wasn't the only person in the Attitude Era who thought that, but it's still really stupid.
To be fair, when TNA did it that way with the Main event mafia it didn't work either since the younger stars weren't as big as the established ones. It was quite one sided.
2:33 the new 2k games have both the downward ramp and no ramp but with how standardized WWE entrances are and most of them incorporating the steps, that’s probably gotten a no from the WWE about the stage to ring ramp gimmick
I think it would be funny to pull a simple prank. Anytime Hogan's name is spoken, we all agree to say Horace. Imagine Terry wakes up one day, and the entire world only talks about Horace.
I saw this episode on peacock and good god it made me realize how horrible peacock with ads is. It's supposed to just be an hour and a half yet with all the ads stretched it out to like three hours.

Come on, brothers....the reason they won't have stages in a WWE game is because they don't want you to have fun diving off of them etc. and understand you aren't going to be able to do that in a WWE ring. They don't give a shit if WCW doesn't exist anymore and THEY would be offering you that pleasure! Just like they never wanted you to change the station on Mondays, duude!;Cuz they know you would remember your Hulkamania, Jack and never tune back to some mark jabrones, brother !
I'm a simple man, whenever there's a new episode of Deadlock I hit the like button right away knowing I'll be laughing at shit that doesn't make sense.
the only trace of 2000s WCW in the current 2k games is the WCW Hardcore title casually having the birdshit logo in black as a logo on the center plate.
Cripes alive the New Blood vs. Millionaires Club was an asinine feud. Because this was the era of antiheroes, the NB act like heels all while expecting to be cheered. Billy Kidman beats Horace, even when it takes his entire faction and a cheating authority figure changing the rules to pull it off; is this supposed to make anyone look good? Besides the nepotist hire who's on his way out? Screw you, Vince Russo.
Whenever Horace Hogan's not on the DEADLOCK Podcast, all the hosts should be saying "Where's Horace?"
I never get the hype for Horace Hogan I know he has a 5 star match but other than that I don't get it?

Maximum Overdrive is an insane gem. Only film Stephen King directed, and he was coked out of his mind the whole time.
Yes, Tony is right. It’s great. If you’re not entertained by a soda machine killing a guy by shooting cans at him, you can’t be entertained.
No wonder why Tony was trying to sell them on the movie so hard, he's like the same age as Stephen King.
And it was so poorly received that a truck got revenge on him for it.
And how Emilio Estevez didn't AT LEAST get nominated for an Oscar is beyond me!

Because WCW logic
I mean, peak WCW would have like, Bishoff come out, and get pinned by Daffney, and that gives Ric the win.
had to rewind a few times i heard "hulk hogan in a tcby shirt" and lost it
