Razor's on Nitro, he waltzes in on the debut match. He appeared to be
on the WWF's side! He looked like Razor, he talked like Razor, he made
fun of all WCW, he did motions like Razor, he even had a toothpick!
Larry and Tony are acting like they have no idea what's going on, so
does the ref. Is it me or does this look like something the WWF
planned? I'm pretty sure it's an angle and a cheif rip-off of Hall's
WWF gimmick. But it's making me think that it was originally planned
for Hall to walk in, but what he did was not what was supposed to
happen! He said he had a challenge later on in the card, I'm going to
tape the rest of Nitro to find it out!

It is obviously an angle, any idiot can see that. But this is a great
one. WCW actually came up with a good idea. Razor and Diesel come
in, "defending the WWF" and totally get destroyed, jobbing to everyone.
This will make the marks think that WCW is better. Believe me when I
say that this is the closest we will ever get to an inter-promotional
fued between these two. It's been a very long time since I have said
this, but I'll say it now: 'Good job WCW' Wow, I haven't said that
since 1989. Oh wait a minute, that doesn't count. In 1989, I said
'Good job NWA' for the Funk-Flair fued. I guess that is the first
time I said 'Good Job WCW' I won't be surprised if it's the last.

This can be a great angle if they play it right. I think it could
attract marks and smarts alike. Bischoff finally does something big
to get back for the Billionaire Ted skits and basically challenges
Vince to keep the "war" in the ring. If Eric plays this right, he
will tease Razor pulling a shoot when he takes on the three WCW stars.
I hope Bischoff chooses three talents and not three caricatures like
Hogan and Savage. My choice would be : The Gambler, Billy Kiddman,
and Buddy Lee Parker of the State Patrol. To have the man who holds
the record for most IC championships to lose to three jobbers would be
hysterical. Seriously tho, I would probably have to choose Benoit,
The Giant, and Sting.

No, you ARE sure it's an angle. You don't waltz into a WCW ring unless
someone in WCW has given an OK to it, or you'll be tasting heavy
security. But wouldn't it be nice if it WERE true...

The aforementioned "confrontation" (doncha think if the situation was
real, Bischoff would be a LITTLE more angry? C'mon!) raises a couple
VERY interesting questions.

1) If advance word had Hall facing Hogan, how come Hall never mentioned
him?
2) Who is "we" (other than a veiled reference to the "Clique", of
course)?
3) What will this do for Diesel's projected "Glacier" gimmick?
4) What would happen if WWF fans starting coming to WCW cards and
cheered the hell for Hall? (Yeah, I know, consumers are consumers, but
I'd still think it would be funny as hell.)
5) Hall is gonna job to everyone in WCW with a pulse, right?

P.S. "At WCW, we ALWAYS have back-up equipment." We know he couldn't
leave it alone....

Looks to me like he's going to knock off some of the lesser lights of
the WCW easily, demand matches with the big 3 (notice, however, that
he did not ask for or criticize the HH guy, so it's not the WWF's
doing, it's Eric's way to stop the Billiionaire Ted business)...then,
when he fights any WCW contender, Scott will job to them. When he
admits that WCW is really where the big boys play, then he'll start to
win again. At least, that's the way I see it.

Um... no offense, Jeff, but how obvious does a work have to be? Why
do you think Bischoff has been insisting for weeks there was no deal
with Hall when there obviously was one? So you don't think Hall was
supposed to say what he said -- but you're paying attention to the
next hour of Nitro to find out what his challenge is? And you don't
think Bischoff might just have wanted that reaction?

The way Steve Regal was popping off, once during a rest hold and once with
Scheme Gene, maybe Regal will get involved somehow. A good mid card
wrestler who doesn't feel he's getting the respect he deserves, he
basically said that people are coming in from other organizations, trying
to take food out of his mouth.

By the look on Oakhead's face after the interview, it seemed like Regal
was shooting at least a little bit. But why was he yelling for Sting?
Didn't Sting just beat him twice on TV? Am I reading too much into this?

Do you really think that they would have even kept the camera on him
in the ring or let him him even NEAR the announcers table at the end
if it wasn't a work? I think this may become a pretty cool angle

I know it was Razor you idiot! I was saying that it appeared that he was doing
something than otherwise planned. I was pretty sure the WWF had nothing to do with it,
a brilliant angle by Bischoff, but its going to get old, fast! My god, how many times
have you repeated a grade? I marked out, but I'm not a mark!

That's how I'm seeing it also. I know Vince isn't going to be to happy about it. But,
Hall and probably Nash with someone else will job to all of WCW's wrestlers so that
Bischoff can say he's #1 again, which he isn't and never has been, and so the mark
magazines can say he's #1 again, which he isn't and never has been. But Hall saved a
pitiful Nitro!

Sorry if this is a double post. I'm having trouble posting.
The way Steve Regal was popping off, during a rest hold and with Scheme
Gene, aka "The Toad", I wonder if he was shooting a little when talking
about other people coming in and taking food out of his mouth.

The look on Gene's face leads me to believe there was something more going
on than meets the eye. Remember the rumors about people being unhappy
with the $$$ Hall and Nash are getting.

Of course, I can only imagine McMahon doing the same sort of thing, or
maybe having "testimonials" from former WCW stars now in WWF (Dustin
"Goldust" Rhodes, Mark "Undertaker" Callous, Cactus "Mankind" Jack, Mark
"Johnny B. Badd" Mero, etc.) about how they came to the WWF because of the
lack of competition in WCW. They'll explain that the reason why none of
them held the World title was that they all could have done so easily, but
they were either so bored they didn't feel like competing for it or that
the old stars (Flair, Hogan) were going to make sure they stayed on top.
The last volley in this war is a long way from being fired.

So what we basically have here on RSPW is the status quo -- WWF defenders
vs WCW defenders. The WWF faithful wishfully thinking how great it
would've been had this angle been a creation of McMahon's, and the WCW
defenders thankful that Bischoff has FINALLY come up with a good angle.
So the WWFers can moan and the WCWers can gloat, but what has been
accomplished? Hall, and presumably Nash too, will be forced to job to WCW
stars until Eric thinks he's trashed Vince enough. So what we end up with
is the age-old question -- What would you for X dollars? I guess for Hall
it would be to kiss Bischoff's ass. One last thing -- am I the only one
who's noticed that Big Daddy COOL is rumored to be GLACIER? Too funny!

My two cents...

I almost marked out myself when I heard the accent...but two things...
one, no security to get rid of him quickly and quietly, and two, he has
(rather, -anyone has-) yet to refer to him as Razor, the Bad Guy, etc...
he's got the mannerisms, toothpick, even did the signal for the Edge, but
they haven't called 'im Razor. And he hasn't called HIMSELF Razor yet.
His only self-identication was "Most of you know who I am, and you know why
I'm here."

I have to agree with the rest of the messages I read in that this angle is
only setting Hall up to be a JTTS...at least as long as he keeps the
pseudoRazor character...

Hogan's untouchable. Even the "Alliance to End Hulkamania" never dared to

Kevin Nash is readily apparent, and since Hall referred to three WCW
wrestlers (notice he didn't have a goofy name for Sting), I'm guessing
Hakushi -- this Blood Runs Cold thing is great for promos, but why
waste an opportunity to shoot on the WWF?

> 3) What will this do for Diesel's projected "Glacier" gimmick?

Eventually, Bischoff's going to have to refer to them as something
besides "him" and "that guy." Maybe the Glacier thing will be used
anyway. Or perhaps they're repackaging Loch Ness. Let's face it --
"Glacier" would be the most apt name for the guy.

Same as when Hogan gets booed or Vader gets cheered -- the announcers
ignore it and it gets dubbed over for playback.

Yes. He'll also job to Kevin Sullivan.

You have to admit, this was one of Bischoff's better digs. Spur of the
moment, subtle, and he barely punched it at all.

But the idea of Nash coming in as 'Glacier' doesn't make sense now
that Scott Hall will essentially be keeping his 'Razor Ramon'
character, at least initially. For Nash, the logical follow-up would
be to come into WCW with the Diesel character intact as one of
'Razors' WWF cronies.

As far as naming the two new WCW signees, Nash seems to be in better
shape than Hall. A Memphis native and former Memphis State basketball
player, Nash said in a local newspaper interview that his friends had
called him 'Big Daddy Cool' since he was in high school. That name is
his intellectual property, so IMHO, I'd be really surprised and
disappointed if Beeeitchoff saddles Nash with some do-nothing gimmick
like Glacier the Sub-Zero wannabe.

Simply having been called a name doesn't necessarily give anyone
rights in it. Nash may have been nicknamed "Big Daddy Cool" in
school, but unless he used it professionally prior to his appearance
in WWF, Vince would still have the right to trademark and own the
name, if he marketed it on T-shirts etc. Which he did. It's a
situation different from Savage's, since Randy Savage went by the ring
name "The Macho Man" and was known to wrestling fans by that name long
before he entered WWF. Likewise, Jerry The King Lawler can go
anywhere and be known as The King. But I don't recall Nash ever
working under the name Big Daddy Cool prior to WWF...

Sure it makes sense. I've heard so much about the changes to who's going
to be in Blood Runs Cold, including the recent addition of "Glacier" to
the graphical promo. Could it be that the BRC thing started to fall apart
after WCW started hyping it, and in a scramble to come up with something,
Bischoff has dropped the 3 ninjas angle and decided to make it the 3 GUYS
FROM THE WWF? Think about it. The phrase "Blood Runs Cold" starts to
take on new meaning, doesn't it?

Oh, I see. He can be a big truck in the WWF, but if he becomes a

EXACTLY! And, if it wasn't a WCW angle, how did Razor get in? Did he pay
for a ticket? Where was his seat? Was he let in by a WCW "friend" (I'm
sure they have friends who work for "the competition")?
Anyway, too bad WWF wouldn't come right out, blow WCW's angle, and state
that Razor is NOT Razor and is NOT representing the WWF. Wouldn't that be
great if McMahon out and out blew their angle?

Maybe I'm into subtle layers, or maybe I read too much into stuff, but Vin
annoucing officailly that Scott, Kevin, and whomever are no longer
wrestling for the WWF wouldn't blow this angle at all. I know the
innuendo is that it's the WWF, especially with Scott's "you know who I
am." However, the Enemy Organization can be whatever any fan wants it
to be.

IOW, Just because the reality upon which a spoof is based has changed
the spoof itself is not invalid. The history of the reality occuring
is the only framework needed.

You missed the point Juggy. I never said anything was stupid; I said it
was FUNNY (you know, as in ha-ha). I was simply pointing out the pun --
Big Daddy COOL -- GLACIER. Get it? This newsgroup is supposed to be FUN,

Nickname, I didn't see Diesel act like a truck, as for Glacier, only time

commercially published; however, if someone were to somehow get a hold
of these documents and publish them, I need only prove that my
original works predated the publication by the second party to claim

If Nash was accurate in stating that he has been called BDC since
highschool, and can presumably document this (yearbook signatures,
newspaper articles, etc), then the name is his, lock stock and barrel.

Yeah, but it doesn't make any sense. If the Razor angle was to be

And true. When WCW puts on a PPV, they always have two sets of uplink
equipment because they know it'll cost a lot more in the long run if
they have problems getting the PPV to the viewers. Hell even the
extreme fighting thing in Canada had a secondary mobile satellite
uplink (which they had to use when the Canadian government stepped in
and tried to screw them over by yanking their primary uplink
supplier).

C'mon Marc,

No offense, but anybody who watches wrestling even casually, has probably
heard about Nash and Hall leaving the WWF. There is no angle for Vinnie to
blow. An angle is what Pillman did before the accident. Until he actually
got involved in one of the matches, people were Marking for this guy like
no other.

Don't get me wrong. I think it is one of the funniest twists in recent
memory. Hall is going to job like there's no tomorrow (which may not be
the greatest of career moves but hey...I'm sure he's getting ungodly cash
for his participation anyway). Vince will almost certainly respond in some
manner very soon. But, to say that McMahon can blow their anle is silly.
I'm more interested in what will happen when a ring announcer actually has
to introduce him for his match...what the hell can they call him that will
mean Razor without saying it? Should be funny. :)

More like Good Job WWF (since they'll be the ones jobbing)

I won't be surprised if it's the last.

Its not that good. Look at Ramon's future. He won't be welcomed back
to WWF. He is certain to lose whatever confrontation Eric has lined
up. what his credibility from this point on?? eric is selling out
Razor to bash the WiFF and Razor (et al) will suffer the long term
effects. Well don't worry about it too much. Eric will probably
change his whole strategy before next Monday.

I kindof like the PCGuru's idea of having Hall grab the mic and
saying "You know who I am, Chico" :)

Oh come on, Scott Hall can come back to the WWF: Uncle Vinnie will just
dress him in a gold suit and have him molest unconsious wrestlers, and
call him the Gay Blade or some such. Who will recognize him?

That might cause Vince trouble with whomever owns the rights to that old
George Hamilton movie "Zorro, The Gay Blade" :)

Sorry, could not resist.
