Wrestling Lost Media

Whang gets into it with some neat new content. As I mentioned before, the man knows his wrestlelore.

1) I was more of a WWF guy than a WCW guy and have only caught up on a lot of WCW well after it closed down (and was bought for a song by Vince). It makes sense that a lot of the stuff that existed on the periphery would have gotten lost. WCW was never the best-managed company and hemorrhaged money on a good day. In addition, when Vince bought their trademarks and tape library, he would buy whatever they had on file. Anything else would be too much of a hassle to track down and would not be profitable. Also, everybody involved probably thought it sucked and buried it like the Bret Hart/Tom Magee match.

2) I do know that Jericho has a history with Japan and studied the culture heavily while trying to get over there. Also, he was already a comic book character well before he worked for WCW or WWF down in Mexico as Corazon de Leon. Similarly, Christian is a huge nerd and would absolutely be into manga.

3) Oh God, the Hornswoggle is Vince's son arc. Oh no. But I do find entrance themes fascinating. Fit Finlay was an underrated guy. When he was in the ring, you knew you were going to see somebody get hurt. His matches against William Regal in particular are fun to watch. Anyway, here's Lambeg which fit his character a bit better than the lost punk song. I love entrance themes that start with a vocal line. They're more effective for live crowds.



The replacement theme that Whang mentioned is this and I hated it then and I hate it now. It's just too sugary sweet.
