Reminder its so much worse when you see the storylines leading up to the event
>Cornette talks about mixing in “working and shooting” so people believe this might be real and at the time business should be hot. >Vince McMahon comes out during the last half hour and talks about owning wrestling after purchasing WCW. Vince would then talk about squashing Ted Turner and then makes fun of the WCW fans and wrestlers for being Southern. Then he would have him telling the WCW wrestlers they have no future and that he owns them. Vince would then say if the wrestlers went home, they would be in breach, and when appearing they would be beat at every opportunity to the point no one would pay a cent to see them again.>The first WCW PPV, Vince would send over William Regal to teach Benoit a lesson. Cornette said he would have offered both men money for getting out of control in the ring where some of their shots would “land.” On Nitro the next night, Cornette would have Arn Anderson bring out Benoit and talk about how this conflict caused the swelling on his face and that Regal broke the “Wrestler’s Code.”<At the King of the Ring PPV, Vince would fuck over Terry Funk. Vince would do this for revenge when Funk no-showed the 1993 Survivor Series and put him in a match against Kane, who was the Intercontinental Champion. Funk would win by cinching on a small package the run through the crowd with the Harris Twins while carrying the belt as Kane would get up and look similar to when Wendi Richter after she got screwed over by the Fabulous Moolah.
>Vince would send Kurt Angle over to the July WCW PPV because he was a real shooter. Angle would issue an open challenge and how he would kick anyone’s ass. Rick Steiner would answer the challenge then lose the match in a hard-fought match. Cornette wants to make these incidents appear somewhat legitimate.
