Welp, I made a thread about The Stings appearance on Halloween Havoc 97' that left me confused as ever. I hear there are many things
confusing within' WCW. I haven't gotten to see the episodes only some PPVs. Wish I was around back then to have seen all this craziness go down but yeah. I figured we could use a thread about the confusion that went on within' WCW throughout it's course.
Sticky if you would like, but anyways cant wait to hear what you guys got confused about!

Why did sting join the wolfpac if he was anti nwo
And the wolfpac, while being good guys, is still nWo.
Speaking of who's idea was it to split the nwo
Why was there a wolfpac in the first place... why didn't the group just fall apart?

Why did they give away Hulk Hogan vs. Goldberg on free TV?
Why did they do the Fingerpoke of Doom?
Why did they mishandle Sting horribly in 1998?
Why did the Giant nearly die against Hulk Hogan at Halloween Havoc 1995?
Who the hell thought they should spend the money that they did on a character like Glacier?

I posted somewhat about this earlier in another thread but I too wish I had been able to watch WCW during its run. I only got cable TV around June 2001, just a few months after WCW was gone.
The heel/face situation in the late WCW days always confused me. Seemed like the "Russo Swerve" was in full effect back then, guys like Nash were changing sides every other week.
Just a few other things that always confused me/left me wondering.
- What led to the nWo fizzling out in 1999. I remember the Wolfpack and original nWo uniting at the start of 1999, but by April/May it was like nobody was nWo anymore. I know Hogan got hurt but surely there was still Luger, Nash, Hall, Steiner, etc...
- What ever happened to the New Blood/Millionaires Club feud in mid 2000. I just recall by watching WCW PPVs that by Bash at the Beach it seemed like there was a smaller Russo faction vs Faces, but the entire feud itself was dead.
- Did they ever reveal who was driving the White Hummer that ran over Nash? I remember it being teased a few times with a fake Sting, Bischoff, etc... Did anyone ever get revealed as the driver?
- Why main stay guys weren't on the Starrcade 1998 PPV. It seemed very strange at the time that a ton of their big name stars were left off the biggest PPV of the year. Hogan, Bret, Sting, Scott Hall, Raven, Luger, Benoit, Malenko, Booker T, Steiners, Hennig. Instead we got Ernest Miller, Kidman wrestling 2 matches, Jerry Flynn and Norman Smiley. You could have had like 4-5 more big name matches and made it one of (if not the) biggest WCW PPV of all time.

I'm also curious about who thought that the young guys should be the heels in the New Blood feud. That's just dumb.

the answer to every question is that Bischoff made the decisions as to what to do about 30 seconds before they went on air, whether they made sense or not. he liked "spontaneity", so basically everything was just making it up as they went along.

I'd like to know...
Why did they give Scott Steiner a live mic?
Why did they wait so long to debut Bret Hart?
Why did they want Hart, Bulldog, & Anvil if they had no idea how to use them?
Who was the genius who signed off on creative control?
Zodiac? Big Booty Man? Seriously!?
Who put Bischoff in charge of the money?
Why would Sting have joined any version on the nWo?
Why would Luger have joined any version of the nWo?
Why Would Savage have joined the nWo after everything they did to him?
Why did they not let Brutus in initially just to put him in eventually?
Was the Dungeon of Doom a result of a bad acid trip? Don't do drugs kids.
Why didn't the nurse let Sting try to help Julie?
Chucky vs Rick Steiner? What the **** was that?
No Limit Soldiers getting wins over Curt Hennig & Barry Windham?
David Flair?
I'm sure I have many more.

Why in the holy name of f*ck did Bobby Hennan ask "BUT WHO'S SIDE IS HE ON!?" when Hogan was walking down to "save" Macho Man and Sting from the Outsiders at Bash at the Beach?

I'd like to know... Chucky vs Rick Steiner? What the **** was that? Ah I forgot about that masterpiece. Great example of poor marketing exchange. Rick Steiner talking to a fictional horror doll was one of the best worst things I think I've ever seen haha. |

Even as a kid I never understood why Sting joined the nWo Wolfpack when just a couple months earlier he was beaten by Randy Savage for the WCW Title with help from Kevin Nash...

Why didn't the Wedding gown match at Bash at the Beach 2000 have any wedding gowns in it?
