WWE Confidential Talkback (Spoilers)

[The Penguin]

Mean Gene Okerlund hosts the 10th episode of WWE Confidential tonight at 11 p.m. ET on the new TNN.

Here is the official preview from WWE.com (http://www.wwe.com)...
This week, learn the inside story of how Ted Turner's WCW fell from the pinnacle of sports entertainment from the men who watched from the inside. Eric Bischoff, Chris Jericho, the Big Show, Booker T and more will give their take on WCW's demise.

Plus, if you've ever wanted to see how WWE Superstars live, now's your chance! Confidential takes you inside the home of the five-time WCW Champion, Booker T!

Remember, if you read them and post them here, your comments are confidential...

Well, I like taking Confidential as a program of brutal honesty. I agree that the mergers were part of WCW's downfall, because higher management changed at least twice. It's too bad.

As far as the whole Hart situation goes, I think everyone got screwed. I didn't appreciate the comments stating that Hart leaving was planned to destroy WCW. I don't believe the whole situation was that well thought out from the beginning.

Last week Al Snow knew his stuff, and this week he knows his shirts. Maybe they can make a new segment called Snow Knows :D .

Rikishi was shot...? I'm have to see this next week, I'm a sucker for comeback stories.

Later.

I didn't read the preview; I really thought we were gearing up for a Booker T career perspective, and instead got a tour of his house. Gene Okerlund needs to never mention again how Booker T served "hard time", lest I picture Big Bossman prodding him through the bars with his nightstick.

Fun hearing the takes of Bischoff and others on the fall of WCW. I felt a little bad when Bischoff said that he was relieved when WWF bought WCW, because now someone would do something with it. They left the fall of WCW story incomplete, as WWF had yet to hammer in the final nail.

On the other hand, reminding people of WCW's past glory and attatching Booker, Hogan, Jericho, and others to it... might WWE be testing the waters?

While WWF remained my favorite I was a WCW fan back in ‘the day’ and I found the cover story very interesting. I honestly loved being able to hear/learn so many things about World Championship Wrestling. It was never my favorite company, but I still enjoyed the chance to watch it each and every week.

I believe I remember seeing Edge & Christian on the “Before They Were Superstars” pay-per-view, but it was really nice to see this one again. Adam & Jay really have a great story here and it’s honestly kind of moving. :o

It’s was great seeing inside Booker’s house. He has quite the cool home….. SUCKA!!

:eek: Was that Sharmell Sullivan in those pictures with Booker?

We haven’t gotten to hear much from Rhyno lately other than his RAW appearance. I look forward to his return.

Al Snow really is an interesting guy. Hey, my hometown has a USHL hockey team. ;) I wonder if Al has a “Stampede” jersey yet. :D

I can't believe that Jericho got merchandising checks for 0 dollars and 0 cents. He got FEDEX package with nothing in them. I never understand why WCW payed Bret all that money and never did anything with him. No wonder WCW tanked. Bischoff really know how to throw money around. I wonder why Booker T wasn't with Sharmell since she got fired instead of giving Confidential a tour of his house. It nice to see people living their dream like Edge and Christian.

b) This was likely taped the last time WWE made a run through Houston, which if I recall is about four weeks ago. Much cheaper to do it that way rather than flying a production crew to and from Houston just for a fluff piece. It may have been taped even earlier than that.

I love watching Confidential. This week was a great show. I loved seeing the behind the scenes demise of WCW. I can see how Jericho left and I thought his comments were the best. Glad to see that he left.

As you all know by now former WWE Intercontinental Champion "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig died Monday at the age of 44. You can remember him here (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=66722). Confidential starts in about an hour and I think it would be nice if we all observed a moment of silence before we comment on tonight.

http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43398 :o Geez WWE.com hyped it so much I thought it seemed like a new one. Imagine my surprise when I started my tape up and it said "pre-recorded." Thanks for finding the thread blackcat, it saved me the trouble. ;)

Well back when this one first aired people actually watched it. :( This was still a pretty good one and I liked the use of the WCW footage.
