If you can go get your leg shot off in a war at 18 and come back from service you still wouldn't legally qualify to buy a beer. That's kind of messed up. They should either raise the enlistment age to 21 or bring down the alcohol age to 18.</div></blockquote> You think that is bad. They had to amend the Constitution during Vietnam because the voting age was 21 but the draft age was 18. So literally, you got sent to hell against your will, and if you were lucky enough to come back, you still couldn't vote for another year or so (18 month to 24 month deployments). The drinking age is set at 21 in a combination of the whole prohibition idea being an utter failure and science that shows brains stop developing around 22-25. Plus, that whole "It's the same age as the right to vote. Oops, we've changed one but now we're not changing the other." logic. Besides, if you want to get drunk at 18, you can easily get drunk. You just can't be the one buying the awful beer (18 yo are also pretty broke).

August 2002: Road to War Games, Part I ((I interrupt this discussion on the legal drinking age to return to our regularly scheduled programming. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />)) <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/u9bsFuK.jpg August 19th, 2002 From Hartford, Connecticut Attendance: 7,600 Announce Team: "The Professor" Mike Tenay and Bret "The Hitman" Hart </div> Billy Kidman and Psychosis had an entertaining cruiserweight match to open the show, won by Psychosis when he caught Kidman with a La Magistral Cradle.

(A*) The newest member of The Empire, Chuck Palumbo (with Tammy Sytch in his corner) dominated local rookie Eddie Edwards and finished him with the Spinning Bossman Slam we're now calling 'Thrill Ride.' © Sean O'Haire rushes the ring with vengeance on his mind, but Palumbo flees before his ex-partner can strike. (B) Booker T promo: "The Japan Supershow was the Booker T show, dawg! I'm the leader of this company, and everybody better start givin' me my respect!" (B+) Veteran Dave Taylor resurfaced for one night to take on Jamie Knoble. It was a very technically-sound bout, with Knoble earning a submission via the Guillotine Choke. (C+) DDP interview; he and Bobby Heenan discuss the behind-the-scenes issues between Dallas and Kimberly with the end of their marriage. DDP says he wants to keep that part of his life separate from his career, but he doesn't know what Kimberly's thinking or why she showed up during his match at Bash at the Beach. (B-) Video footage of Rick Steiner eliminating Davey Boy Smith to win a pre-show battle royal at the Japan Supershow; as a result of that victory, Steiner is being given a United States title shot against Shane Douglas at the next PPV on September 22nd. (B+) Mike Sanders simply couldn't handle the speed of Hayabusa; the masked man beat him handily with the Phoenix Splash. (C+) The Jung Dragons attack Hayabusa after the match. Hayashi and Yang perform tandem diving sentons off the top rope as Stacy Keibler smiles and claps from the aisle. (C+) Eric Bischoff comes to the ring to finally answer Ric Flair's challenge. "You want War Games, Ric? You want The Empire in "the match beyond?" We've got nothing to fear from you, old man! I accept your challenge!" (A*) In a battle of powerhouse wrestlers, Davey Boy Smith was the stronger against Shawn Stasiak. (C+) New Cruiserweight Champion American Dragon cuts a celebratory promo backstage with the belt around his waist until Chavo Guerrero Jr. angrily interrupts. "After all I did for you, this is the thanks I get?" he complains. He advises Dragon to watch and learn, because tonight he and Shane Helms will be victorious in the main event against The Hardys! © Vignette: Rob Van Dam is signing autographs for fans when he's attacked by Mortis! The Flatliner through the autograph table renders RVD unconscious, after which Mortis says that if Rob won't join them and accept Salvation, he will take it upon himself to destroy him! (A) As promoted by Chavo earlier, he and Shane Helms took on the Hardys in non-title action in the main event of the night. The talents of Helms and Guerrero made this an entertaining bout, but there was no answer for the tag team experience of the brothers Hardy. After the champions reeled off several combination moves, Jeff held Chavo off and Matt beat Helms with the Twist of Fate. (B) The Hardys are still having their hands raised when they're attacked from behind by True Heroes! Punk and Storm drop the champions and pose with the belts. (B) <div style="text-align:center;">Spotlight Segment: http://i.imgur.com/iwFA1pe.jpg Booker came down to the ring, unannounced and uninvited as Mike and I were preparing (or pretending, kayfabe) to sign off for the night. He said that the show wasn't over until the champ said it was over, and he wasn't leaving until Arn Anderson came down to the ring. http://i.imgur.com/zAUQMDu.jpg Out came the commish, who didn't look amused about being ordered around. Booker paced around the ring as he aired his grievances. "You done screwed with me long enough, Arn, and it needs to stop, man! Earlier tonight I heard Bischoff come out and accept Ric Flair's challenge to a War Games match. Hey, that's great, man! Flair and The Empire can beat the hell outta each other inside those two rings and rip each other's flesh apart in the cage. They can do that all night for all I care! But that match ain't stealin' the spotlight from Booker T! I'm the champ, dawg, and you betta not be plannin' on bumpin' me out of MY main event spot for that freak show!" Booker was really good here; he's embraced this neurotic, insecure "top guy" character and made it his own. Arn's response was calm and measured. First, he complimented Booker on a hard-fought successful title defense against Kensuke Sasaki in Japan. He proved on that night that he's a worthy champion and deserves his position in the company. But as for September 22nd, Arn had some bad news. "You're the champ, Book, and nobody's going to deny it. But War Games is a spectacle. War Games is something special. This War Games match is front page news, and it's going to be in the main event of the PPV, which will appropriately be titled 'War Games.' That set Booker off, of course. He got right in Arn's face and said this was a travesty. "This ain't happenin', Arn! I'm not takin' a damn back seat again! You wanna put War Games in the main event? Fine, knock yourself out, man! But if I ain't needed to defend my title in the main event of the PPV, then I ain't needed at all! So if that's the way it's gonna be, then I ain't showin' up, sucka!"

Knoble spent most of the match proving his own technical skills to be superior to Finlay's, but the champion took control with some roughhouse brawling and retained his title.

If it is a war you want at War Games, then it is a war you shall have."

He congratulates Psychosis on getting the better of him last week, but says the result would be different if they had a rematch, (C+) Christopher Daniels defeated local wrestler Xavier in impressive fashion. (B) Post-match: Daniels runs through his resume since coming to WCW and declares that it is past time for God's gift to the cruiserweights to finally get his chance at the Cruiserweight Championship. American Dragon comes out and agrees with him, so as long as the matchmaking committee approves it, Daniels is next in line. (B-) Stacy Keibler and the Jung Dragons gloat about their attack on Hayabusa last week and say that the result at the Japan Supershow was merely a blip on the radar. (D+) In their first match since Bash at the Beach, True Heroes ran right through Air Paris and Jason Jett.

(B-) In a #1 contender's match for the World Women's Championship, Manami Toyota outlasted Takako Inoue and finished her with the Ocean Cyclone Suplex to earn another title shot at Etsuko Mita. (B) Mita and Eric Bischoff step out into the aisle after the match and let Toyota know that Toyota's second title shot won't go any better than her first: she'll leave empty-handed again. Manami points out that their match at the Great American Bash ended in a no contest thanks to the interference of Chaos, and promises that this time she'll win and take that title before anyone else can even think about interfering. (B-) Davey Boy Smith is being interviewed by Bobby Heenan about coming back from some personal problems and trying to rebuild his career here in WCW when he's cut off by the music of the Disco Inferno. "Nobody came here to listen to you tell your boring life story in that terrible accent--these people came to see the Disco Inferno dance!" Disco is all smiles as he busts out his dance moves, but Davey is not amused. (C+) Shane Douglas sat in on color and observed as his next challenger, Rick Steiner, hit a top rope bulldog to defeat Buff Bagwell. (C-) Backstage: Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo are brawling backstage. Several wrestlers and officials pull O'Haire off as Corino and TAKA of The Empire escort Chuck to safety. (B+) Booker T is summoned to Arn Anderson's office. Arn says that if Booker wants to pass up on a PPV pay day by refusing to defend his title at War Games, so be it. But that doesn't mean he'll get out of defending his title. Next week there will be a battle royal, and the winner of that battle royal will challenge Booker for the title in two weeks right here on Nitro! Booker scoffs and says at least he'll actually get to be the main event of Nitro that week. (B+) Jeff Hardy went one-on-one with Mortis in the main event of the evening. It was an even match until Lance Storm came down the aisle. While the ref cut Storm off and warned him not to get involved, CM Punk came in through the other side and hit the Devil Lock DDT on Hardy. Mortis picked up the pieces, hitting the Flatliner to win the match. (B) Mortis appears prepared to bash Hardy with a chair after the match, until RVD runs to the ring. After a standoff, RVD challenges Mortis to a rematch at War Games and says that since it ended in a DQ last time, this time they should make it no DQ. Mortis accepts the challenge, saying that no rules will make it that much easier for him to destroy Van Dam.

Sting confirmed that he would be fighting by Ric's side in War Games. He'd been in more than a few War Games matches himself, he knows what the match is all about and the price a man has to pay inside that cage, but it's worth it to oppose Eric Bischoff and prevent him from gaining any more power here in WCW. Sting was good here, but this segment wasn't really about him. Flair took the microphone and said that while he, Sting and two partners were going to be stepping inside the match beyond against The Empire, this has always been about the personal animosity and hatred between himself and Eric Bischoff. Since he knew Bischoff wouldn't be man enough to fight in the match himself like JJ Dillon had sometimes done back in the Horsemen days, Ric had a proposal to make sure this will truly be the end. If--when--his team wins, the rest of The Empire leaves the cage, the rest of Flair's team leaves the cage, and Bischoff steps inside it. The door is locked, and for five minutes he and Bischoff are in there, just the two of them, with no backup and no corporate protection and no threats of legal action. Just two men, if Bischoff can really be called a man, surrounded by a steel prison and free to do whatever they liked to each other. Ric was really good tonight as well, getting the crowd into it as Bischoff and The Empire appeared on the big screen. From their locker room, King Corino taunted both Flair and Sting alike. Sure, they'd been in plenty of War Games matches in the past, but this wasn't about the past. It was about the future, and The Empire was going to be at the forefront of that future. Corino was pretty bad tonight, with some unconvincing dialogue. He was really the only negative about this promo, but thankfully things picked right back up when Bischoff took over. With regards to Flair's proposal, he suggested that Ric be careful what he wished for. Eric might not be a wrestler, but he was a fighter and a skilled martial artist, so five minutes inside a cage might not go the way Flair expected it to. He declared that he was not afraid of Flair, but he did a great job with his facial expressions, making it clear that this was just false bravado. He cleared his throat and said that even if he had nothing to fear by agreeing to Ric's proposal, he had nothing to GAIN from it either. He would be a poor businessman if he accepted a wager without receiving something in return. "Name your price, Bischoff!" Flair shouted. "You want my cars? They're yours! You want my ring robes? They're yours! All the title belts I've earned throughout my career? Yours! My house? Yours! This Rolex I'm wearing? Yours!" He took the watch off and tossed it on the mat for emphasis. "You love to talk about my bank account and all the money I've spent. I've still got quite a bit left even after all these decades being the Nature Boy, but if you want, I'll take every last dime I've got and give it to you. Your guys win, and you can take it all!" Eric smirked and shook his head. "I don't want your cars or your house, and I wouldn't be caught dead with those ridiculous robes! I don't want your money either. I've got money of my own. There's only one thing you have that's of any value to me, Ric. There's only one thing that I want, and it's the only thing that has ever truly mattered to you. It's that thing you're standing in right now. The only place you've ever felt at home is inside that ring. Your legacy, your accomplishments, your reputation as the Nature Boy, it means more to you than any money or jets or limos ever have. You would be nothing without pro wrestling, Ric. And that's what I want: I want to reduce you to nothing. I want to take away the only thing that's ever mattered to you, and I want you to have to watch from the sidelines as The Empire and I remake this company, this BUSINESS, that you love so much. I'll accept your stipulation, Ric, but when we win, your career is OVER!" Eric was fantastic tonight, with just the right mix of smarmy, arrogant and vindictive. Ric's response was simple: "You're on!"

The Final Countdown · June 22, 2017

August 2002: News and Notes <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">August 28th, 2002</div> I picked up my phone with a smile and placed a call to Stamford. This was going to be fun. "What do you want, Bret?" came a gruff voice on the other line. "You sound angry, Vince. Get some bad news?" "Very funny," he grumbled. "You're a real comedian, pal. Almost as funny as the jokers who wrote that rag sheet." "'You sound awfully upset about this so-called 'rag sheet'," I teased. "I know it's garbage, and you do too," he insisted. "But there are people in the business world, investors and advertisers and such, who give it more weight than it deserves. THAT'S why I'm upset." "It's only the most respected wrestling publication in the world. Clearly people should just ignore it," I said derisively. "Still, it's a pretty big story, huh? You're demoted from International to National, AND New Japan rises from Cult to National on the same day? Looks like that monopoly you've always wanted might be slipping through your fingers." "In your dreams. New Japan is a tiny little insect compared to us, and I'll squash them beneath my boot soon enough. We'll do the same to you as well, if you ever even make it to 'National' status in that worthless dirt sheet." "Oh, we'll make it there," I said confidently. "I have every confidence that we'll be there before the year is out. And you can try and pretend you're not worried about New Japan, or us, but I don't buy it for a second. You're in for a fight, old man." He cut the connection rather than replying, but it didn't affect my good mood at all. Vince likes to think that he's some creative genius that's operating on a different level from everyone else in this business, but stories like this are a much-needed wound to his pride. WWE is still the unquestioned number one, but there are chinks in the armor. He thought the war was over last year. He's dead wrong.</div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/7AiYO6E.jpg http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww224/kevincumpton/SummerSlam_2002_Poster_zpsgd2srbsu.png</div> The 'biggest event of the summer' was held on August 25th in a sold-out Madison Square Garden. It was a decent show, though below the level of most of their recent PPVs (clearly better than WrestleMania though.) Hogan lost to Eddie Guerrero in the WWE title match...but retained the title because the match ended via count out. That match was only third from the top though, as after a buffer IC title match between Rikishi and Rhyno, Kurt Angle retained the ECW title against reigning King of the Ring Undertaker in the main event. That was one of the better matches of the night, but Jericho and Michaels stole the show in a midcard match won by Chris. The show also featured three title changes: Juvi won the Light Heavyweight title in a 4-way against Funaki, Jerry Lynn and X-Pac, Lita took the Women's title in a 3-way with Jacqueline and Chyna, and the Dudleys won the tag belts for the fourth time in a 3-way against Edge & Christian and Steve Blackman and Brian Christopher. Scott Hall looked like he was seriously messed up on something during his match with Kane; I wonder how long he'll stick around there? It was also obvious that WWE's decision to try and get younger at the commentary position hasn't been the brighest. Tazz is just not fit to be the color guy for the biggest company in the world. Chyna is apparently dating Billy Gunn now. I wonder how Hunter feels about that. My God, Vince is such a child. He had his lackeys write up some goofy article on the company website mocking Michinoku Pro as a second-rate joke promotion. The company has rightly received some backlash for it, with the hardcore Internet fanbase coming down on them hard for this ridiculous stunt against a company that's a tiny fraction of WWE's size. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/nUYCk9q.jpg</div> In a pre-show match, Daffney and LuFisto seemed to work really well together as a tag team. With Akira Hokuto in rehab, maybe this gives me a new direction to go with Daffney. Alexis Laree suffered some damage to her rotator cuff in that same dark match. It thankfully won't require surgery and the doctors tell me she could work through it if need be, but I'd rather keep her out of the ring until she's fully healed. I've given her a month off for now, but she likely won't be 100% by then. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/sDkxtEI.jpg</div> NJPW finally took their IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team titles off of Tenzan and Kojima. The over two-year reign ended with a bang, as Kensuke Sasaki and Manabu Nakanishi dethroned the longtime champions in the main event of New Japan's weekly TV show in a fantastic match. This is Nakanishi's third reign with the titles, as he previously won them with Kojima and Yuji Nagata. It's the eighth reign for Sasaki, who has held the belts with numerous different partners. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/HLY8nvy.jpg</div> NOAh held their Vengeance of Pride PPV on August 25th. It was a very good show, one of their stronger PPV efforts so far this year. Misawa continues to be the unquestioned top performer in the company even after dropping the belt, as his win over Yoshihiro Takayama in the third-to-last match was clearly the best thing on the show. The main event was pretty good as well, with Akira Taue retaining the GHC Heavyweight title against Yoshinari Ogawa. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/1eeVS9d.jpg</div> Magnum Tokyo, a talented junior heavyweight trainee of Ultimo Dragon who has been splitting time between Toryumon and Big Japan, suffered a torn rotator cuff during a match with Ricky Marvin on a recent Toryumon show. It'll apparently keep him out for about a year, which is bad news for him as well as the promotions he works for. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/ebDwXEW.jpg</div> Both of the Buschwackers have retired. Good guys. Kind of funny that Vince turned them into comedy figures after they spent most of their careers playing bloodthirsty heels. <hr noshade size=3> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="K-Nection" data-cite="K-Nection" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>See what happens when you take so long to post Nitro! <img alt=";)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I'm joking btw.

I just want to say that I was the poor guy that had ran that Summerslam show and had I payed attention to Tazz being a poor commentator that Kurt and Taker would have been a MOTY candidate. Kurt scored a 96 and Taker scored a 97. The only negative from the match was Tazz tanking the match grade....I'm really annoyed by that. Simply taking him out would have made a huge difference.

No Booker T at War Games feels fitting for his character, that he would gladly sit out a payday rather than be "demoted" below the main event. All the matches coming down the line for the show should be good stuff, so I'm definitely looking forward to more.

Came across this image today....And before you ask Lex Luger is not really dead. I did think it was fitting for this dynasty though.

In the last couple of weeks I've read TGAAB and now this. Loved both of them.

I'm guessing by the lack of updates. the whole photobucket debacle has claimed another victim?

Totally understandable with what you are feeling, but I truly hope this is not the end. I was sad when Wildfire1324 stopped writing, but you managed to pick up the torch and run with it and filled that spot, just would not be the same if you stop writing.

They won't even let us drag + drop the images to imugur any more. I don't think I'll ever forgive the company for this stunt -- my only hope is that someday, they'll learn the err of their ways. This community has always will be a blessing, even with this temporary setback.

I too hope that you'll come back. Honestly, uploading to Imagr took me all of about 20 minutes, which was mainly finding the right pics. If you just drag them out to a separate folder first (copy and paste), it won't take any time. The only downside is that the links are named jibberish, unlike Photobucket so you'll have to copy and paste them into a word folder.

We've lost some amazing diary writers over the years, and I'd hate to see one of the best go.

Since TFC announced that he is officially killing this off I'll go ahead and post the last poster I did for the upcoming Wargames
