I was watching Madusa vs Col Parker & she got disqualified for throwing him over the top rope. This was in 1996. I thought they got rid of that rule years ago?
Also Dick Slater accompanied Parker to the ring. This was the last I saw of him. Was he injured/fired after this?

IIRC it was 98. Such a long run for a dumb rule
And as far as Slater goes, He would team up with Mike Enos called ''Rough N Ready'' but they didnt go far as he got a back injury that ended his career by the end of 96

I began watching Nitros around Feb 1997 on the Network a few years ago and I never heard that rule ever coming up and don't remember ever seeing a DQ because of it. I don't even remember it being a rule that late in WCW. I vaguely heard about it when Jim Herd took over? But definitely would have been something I'd have noticed and been like "hey why's that a DQ?".... |

Never heard of such a rule.
Did that mean WCW didn't have a 10 count?

I just remember Schiavone on Nitro saying the rule was rescinded Must have been when they put more time into the Cruiserweight division. Remember when Malenko fought Kidman at Souled Out in January 2000 in a "Catch as Catch Can" match, where all action had to take place in the ring and anyone leaving would lose. And Malenko forgot and rolled out to take a breather early into the match, forcing Charles Robinson to disqualify him XD |

The stupidest rule ever was when Bill Watts was in charge and tried to make WCW like his old Mid South territory and have nobody jumping off the top rope rule. It took a large part of what makes a wrestling match great totally away!
The over the top rope dq rule lasted definitely into the NWO era. I do remember on Nitro seeing that talked about.

Never heard of such a rule. Did that mean WCW didn't have a 10 count? They had a ten count. And the rule was basically the refs discretion. If the ref felt it wasn’t intentional or “momentum” sent the opponent over the top rope they waved it off. |
