WCW News: Storm, Dennis Rodman, Goldberg
By Joe Starson on June 14, 2000
-Thanks to The Wrestling Observer for the following:
*Nitro on 6/12 in Richmond, VA drew 4,723, which was 2,716 paying $64,905.
*In an AP article on 6/7, Goldberg said he's bothered by how much wrestling plays up the sexual aspects. "We are farther away form the kids and closer to pornography. It bothers me. Absolutely. We have a show that has a girl in a bikini in every single segment. I'm not in favor of that. I voice my opinion on everything I have a problem with. We can't shut our eyes on the kids who watch. There is a time and a place for segments where kids can watch with their parents, and we don't have it."
*Believe it or not, over the past two weeks there has been a lot of interest in bringing Dennis Rodman back hoping for mainstream publicity. Perhaps it stems from Karl Malone expressing interest in doing something again when they were in Salt Lake City and Malone getting the big pop for his run-in.
*Konnan finally had the MRI on his tricep on 6/7.
*Bill DeMott (Capt. Rection) didn't know they were bring the old guy back as his nutty father until the afternoon when he got to the building. His reaction was the same as just about everyone's who saw the angle. This is planned to be an angle that will be strongly pushed on television.
*Elix Skipper was involved in a pretty serious car accident and will be out of action for a few weeks.
*Lance Storm's debut had to be pushed back because WCW opted to get him a new visa and everything wasn't finalized before TV this week.
*Thunder on 6/6 drew 3,088 which was 1,906 paying $40,940.
