Yeah managed by Jimmy Hart. Koko had the shaved head and they called him Sweet brown sugar. Not to be confused with Skip Young. I remember the the Eaton Flair match. Good stuff.
I really don't remember the epic JYD feuds. Terry Funk is one. Funk had to wrestle him like every night for months. That's why he quit the company. Greg Valentine of course had some good matches.
Piper would've been great. That would've gotten over huge. Piper and Valentine had a huge feud that lasted awhile. Piper and Flair feuded and teamed also. Valentine also had history with Flair. They made a great team in the 70's. As far as their feud I don't remember it all that well but the good thing is I'm watching all that stuff lately so I'll get a refresher on it.

Well the recent Great Kahli surprise return was pretty shit.
The Gobbly Gooker for those of you old enough to remember.

I actually liked the Great Khali's return. It was a surprise that made sense. Khali returning to help out his fellow countryman.

Duane Gill when people were expecting Michaels or a big WCW name.
Gobbledy gooker when people were expecting something good.

He should have held the strap for a long time obliterating people. They should have 'Goldberged' him like WCW 'Goldberged' Goldberg. I always thought this way about Andre too - then you could have had a great underdog story of Hogan, Savage or Warrior knocking him off. Could have had an underdog story of Cena, Batista, whoever eventually shocking the world and knocking Khali off against all odds.

@hathelaughingmanha took my 2 biggest, but I gotta.
FN 1990 Survivor Series. WTF was McMahon on!? How much cocaine did he do? I think we were expecting a massive star. (Who knew Million Dollar Man would be the one producing the major star). The fn egg!?
Rikishi,"I did it...for the Rock."
Vince being the "Higher power." Shawn Michaels or Jake the Snake, but Vince, foh.
Mysterio winning the Royal Rumble having one of the first numbers. It's one thing for Shawn Michaels (He is small) but now you want me to believe no one can toss little Rey Rey out!? Come on!
Undertakers last WM Match.
Lesnar beating the streak was BS.
Jericho didnt win the rumble and instead Sheamus did (Forgot that year, 2013? Sorry)

Some not mentioned: Duane Gill at Survivor Series '98. Did everything they could to make it sound like HBK and then the reveal comes and it's a balding middle aged comedy act.
Any of the storylines they had something better in mind, but then settled on "It was Hornswoggle," for a resolution.
Vince Russo winning the WCW Title by being speared through a steel cage by Goldberg.
And on the subject of WCW 2000: David Arquette.
But the worst that year for mine was Russo stripping all the titles. Yep, that's a good way to get people interested: show them that nothing means anything. But hey: surprise reset. F@ck off Vince.

At the time I was disappointed that the Millenium Countdown was for Chris Jericho. I remembered bits of him from WCW but I was never a big fan...in hindsight tho, he’s one of my faves. Great on the mic, puts on excellent matches and is just as good today as he was 15 years ago.

I had become a big fan of his during his conspiracy victim days and was hugely excited to see him in the WWF.
