This Week In The WCW

This Week In The WCW


Note from Bill: Five hours of wrestling in one day would be a little much, even for me. So, Ben J. was kind enough to volunteer to do the WCW Saturday Night report this week.

WCW Saturday Night - Saturday, 08/09/97

By Ben J.

Here's a note posted on the discussion area that needs some responses:

An article said Hogan was good for wrestling because it gave NON-wrestling fans a point of reference and he had 'put wrestling on the map'. Do we really need a point of reference? People are either going to watch it, or they aren't. They don't need a human reference point. Why not think of the sport as a whole instead? I don't have a person for a reference point when it comes to almost any other sport.

As for Hogan 'putting wrestling on the map', who's to say someone else would not have come along and done the same thing? True, no one did, but what did he really do? Allow more money to be pumped into the world of professional wrestling? Do you think anybody is joining the sport today for the money? Doubtful...

Again, let's get a good discussion going over there.
