Since we did WCW Souled Out 2000 already, our first WCW event for “Into the Vault 2000” is WCW SuperBrawl X from the Cow Palace in Daly City, California. Over 8,500 fans showed up for a show headlined by Sid Vicious defending the World title against Jeff Jarrett and Scott Hall. The Undercard For some reason, I believe the opener—for the vacant Cruiserweight title—could’ve been a bit better if The Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iaukea and Lash LeRoux were given a little more time. As it is, this was a satisfactory Nitro opener or a decent enough Thunder opener.…

We’re diving into a 2000’s wrestling relic in episode two of WOW Women of Wrestling. This show aired in October 2000 and featured the aftermath of Terri Gold being crowned the WOW Champion. It was your typical “the champion is a fighting champion with a target on their back” storyline. That’s mainly Terri Gold’s run in WOW. The Undercard Well, all of the matches are damn brief with everything being below the six-minute mark. Lana Star ran a celebrity or cocky actress gimmick. In-ring, she was nothing to even think about writing home about but she was good at character…

Sometimes in wrestling, you get these cases where a wrestler signs with a promotion that might not seem like the best fit—and you’re right. That wrestler in that promotion doesn’t seem to make sense, they’re out of place with the product, they don’t fit the in-ring direction, or whatever other reason. Sometimes, it’s a mix of things. “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan was always my pick for the “Wrestler Who Should’ve Asked for Directions” award when it came to his WCW run. The Atlanta company just seemed like an odd home for Duggan but he was there from 1994 until the company…
