JackKnifed72 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 That is awesome how he has came full circle in your game!

JackKnifed72 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 World Champion Hawk.....WHHAAATTTT AAAA RRRRUUUUSSSHHH!!!! While I am personally a fan of the Road Warriors, as well as both Brian Pillman and Owen Hart, the WCW World title has now gone from Ric Flair to Bret Hart to Pillman to Owen to Hawk...in terms of the status of the title holders that's kind of a backwards progression, especially considering Hawk is almost a decade past his prime and his peak of popularity...still, cool to see these guys get a world title run even if it is in a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First he became World Champ...then starts dating Pam Anderson! He is fulfilling all of my boy hood dreams! I'm pretty sure for most who grew up in this time period dating Pam Anderson would be considered "fulfilling a boy hood dream" Still I do enjoy seeing Pillman and for that matter Owen having long main event careers with at least one run each with a World title...and as far as US wrestling goes, the WCW belt is the most prestigious World title...also kind of weird seeing Hulk Hogan fade into obscurity as an over paid, aging mid carder and HHH fail to make any impact whatsoever on wrestling (at least as of early 1998 he hasn't)...and then of course there is Buff Bagwell - ECW Superstar!

The only way I see that happening is if Pyschosis took him under his wing. iirc he started a backstage argument, then gave me the "whatever" when I scolded him and his moral went in the tank...as of July 1997, Misterio is 22 and a six year veteran having been active since the game started in 1994...checking his sliders in the editor I'm guessing his selfish and/or boldness has moved to the left since the game began giving him a bad attitude and causing him to be something of a trouble maker...he also doesn't like Luna Vachon and got fired from the WWF in April 97 for failing a drug test (hard drugs)...doesn't look like Rey is going to have a great career but we shall see as time goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two Royal Rumbles he was in...but I have no desire to sign him again...to coin a phrase, Triple H's chance of working for Vince McMahon? No Chance in H*ll !</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No room on my roster for "Meat" anytime soon</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
