Was the “new blood” around at that time? Jindrack, O’Haire, and “above average” Mike Sanders. I was a mark for Sanders. Loved the “above average” gimmick, for some reason.

Imo the worst match was on wcw uncensored 1995

It was hogan and savage vs the alliance to end the mega powers (Kevin Sullivan, ric flair, aa, jeep Swenson who was known as the solution, Zeus (who was dbo on Friday), I want to say Brutus barber beefcake, earthquake and like 2 other guys

Kevin Sullivan did all this to make hogan feel more comfortable in wcw and even had hulk stay in his house after bash at the beach 1996

Kevin Sullivan is AIDS. No idea how he got somewhere in the business.

By that point the top WCW guys were faking injuries so they had to go "New Blood" though those top guys had long run their course. WCW just sucked at talent development.

ironic considering the "WCW Power Plant" is what spurred the WWE Performance Center

Disagree
He was a good booker and put Benoit over after he stole Sullivan's girlfriend.

His dungeon of doom gimmick was lame though
And hogan got dry humped by the big show and the yeti

There's lots of horrible wcw moments
I wanna say el giante or Abdullah the butcher was "electrocuted" was bad too

Who would be better to teach young, up and coming talent than Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker from the State Patrol?

Sullivan was under the Eddie Graham learning tree for a while, so I bet his booking would’ve been infinitely better without most of the big names having “creative control” of their booking.
