10 Times WCW Broke With Reality
6. Robocop
One of WCW's more reality-warping habits was featuring fictional characters on their shows as if they were real. Thus it was that as part of a tie-in promotion marking the release of Robocop 2, no less a personage than Robocop himself appeared at Capital Combat in 1990.
The whole show was promoted as 'The Return of Robocop', and the big man didn't just appear in promos or on the big screen.
When dastardly heels the Four Horsemen attacked Sting and locked him in a cage during the show, the Future of Law Enforcement made his steely presence known and tore the cage open, freeing Sting and confirming Robocop as Sting's 'buddy'.
Robocop therefore became a bona fide part of WCW for the duration of Capital Combat, where the cybernetic cop was depicted as every bit as real as Sting. WCW didn't explain how he got there, so presumably time travel was also added to the pocket dimension reality of WCW along with the half-man, half-machine, all cop himself.
And Robocop 2 wasn't even very good.
