10 Times Wrestling Companies Fed You Total BULLSH*T
1. WWF “New Generation” > WCW's Old Stars
Listen to Vince McMahon or Jim Ross on the call between 1994-1996 and you'll hear them hammer home how youthful the WWF roster is compared to those dinosaurs over in WCW. JR poked fun at Hulk Hogan's bald spot, and the general idea was that this "New Generation" of federation stars could work a faster, more athletic style.
Fair enough, but McMahon still put his top title on Bob Backlund in '94. Bob was great as a deranged old-timer, but he was viewed as a relic from a bygone era and definitely didn't fit the "New Generation" vibe. Then, having already ripped the p*ss out of WCW for pushing Hogan etc, Vince presented Jerry Lawler vs. Roddy Piper on pay-per-view.
That match headlined King Of The Ring 1994, which flew in the face of the youth movement. The WWF blatantly wanted to have things both ways - they fancied needling WCW, but also wanted legacy stars of their own.
That's bullsh*t.
