Dale's Monthly Column
Why does WCW do this sh*t? Is it because of what DX did this past summer?
This past week on Nitro they said in the middle of their show that Makind was suppose
to win the World Title on a taped RAW. And since they just spoiled the ending they wanted you
to stay tune to Nitro which was suppose to have an awesome main event. Well that main event only lasted about
5 seconds and the WWF main event was one of the best matches you saw for a long time
that lasted over 8 minutes. Is this how desperate WCW is for ratings? This is as worse
as the Outlaws shoving Cactus Jack & Terry Funk off the ring entrance in a dumpster.
And also throughout the show they said "our show is the only show that is live every week unlike our competition."
WCW, hear this:
Just cuz a show isn't live doesn't mean its any good. So what if you told us Mankind won the
match. We want to see the match to see how Mankind won, cuz WWF can make a match end in many different
ways. That RAW show seemed as live as ever.
Because of this I think RAW might consider going over to weekly live shows cuz if they don't
on the next taped RAW, during the first hour of Nitro, Shivnae will say: "Ok on our competition Ken Shamrock
lose in a match to Billy Gun, but it was DQ so no title change, also Shawn does a cheap interview from a hospital,
and you get to see the return of the Underaker going against Kane. son now since we told you what just happened on our
competition why don't you watch the rest of Nitro."
If their is even any WWF insiders or people who have relations to them please tell them my thoughts.
Well I'm done hear. C ya next month.
