WCW Monday Nitro Live Watch-Along: From the Beginning

It’s called passion. We’re passionate people around here.

Face = Hero, Heel = Villain, Tweener = Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain. Dusty Finish = An ending to a match that involves multiple things happening at once leading to intended confusion with the viewer. This can involve a bunch of people running into the match to interfere, a double pin, double DQ, etc.

I love it the stream even rolls over and we don’t have to wait for the next episode.

 

[Tremendez]

That’s opening for nitro is so explosive. They really pumped you up for the episode.

Now we’re talking. This is where Mars gonna learn why I say WCW is the goat.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Btw the reason it's called a Dusty Finish is because it was popularized by "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes

 

[Mochii_Mars]

Update: think I have no options bc after lots of frustration I halfway got a desktop site up on my casting app and I got the same stream can't load error as my tv internet browser so I think discord doesn't support playing on them lol

During Title Tuesday my meltdown from when Toni lost the title back during one of her two short reigns came up, because of how amazing her last two were lol.

 

[Mochii_Mars]

i'm just glad i get to experience wcw for the first time with you guys

 

[Tremendez]

Like I’m sure it would probably be pretty similar to AEW right now considering it’s the same channels and they crib a lot of the WCW things like the mat logo and what not but I still wish we had a company called WCW around today.

But speaking of terms, I recently learned the direct origin of jobber. Originally in the 1800s, suspected worked matches (almost all actually were worked it seems btw, the shoot era is the biggest kayfabe success) were called "put up jobs" which then got shortened to just jobs and the people who lost were called the jobbers
