Right. I'm a ex-Hyattite who didn't get around much. Heard great things about a CRZ. Can you peeps place links to your favorite CRZ pieces here. I'm very lazy and can barely keep myself clean and fed.
Thanks I appreciate it. CRZ if you could slap what is in your opinion the best work you've ever done here than that would rule too. Just link it thanks.
After I study up on CRZ I'll need to check out this Scottsman fellar. I think we're related.
I'm going to go lay on the couch now.
Visit www.nwowwf.net because it's just toooo.....well it's a cheaply made site with a great name but the forum ROCKS!!
Read the Year in quotes from 99. Then read the awards, because they rule. Then just read any old Nitro or RAW or Smackdown recap from the archives.
"Nobody loves the custodian. I come and I sweep and vacuum for you. When you're in the mood to go to the bathroom, I even disinfect it for you! This is the thanks I get?!? All who defy me shall be dis-infected!"
As Kate once said, CRZ is truly at his best when there is NONSENSE on the TV screen in front of him. His best recaps are often from the worst shows. IMO, of course. =)
I don't remember when it was, but my all-time favorite recap was when CRZ went medieval on WCW and Big Poochie, dropping the f-bomb a million or so times.
"And that little boy that no one liked grew up to be ... Roy Cohn. Now you know the rest of the story." -- Pesudo Paul Harvey, "The Simpsons," Cape Feare
Despite the abuse, (LOOK AT THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM!) I still maintain that CRZ's recaps are best when he's motivated. Sometimes what he watches is brillant and he is motivated to brillance. Sometimes what he watches is craptaculaur and he is motivated to comedic genius (or something).
Doing a search on the main page, I put in "wcw" and "f.u." and guess how many matches I got?
367.
That's so funny.
By the way, the Nitro recap I was referring to was from 11/30/98. It starts with Konnan winning the TV belt from Jericho and goes down from there.
I give you a small bit of CRZ's Recap:
"FUCK YOU, KEVIN NASH. It only took you TWO Nitros to prove to me that it doesn't matter who's in charge, the product is STILL going to suffer. It's going to matter more who you're friends with then how entertaining/athletic/good you can be. Saying "bowdyboutit" and "wolfpack in the house" doesn't count for SHIT and it DAMN sure doesn't deserve holding the gold. And this song FUCKING sucks and there is NO good reason for it to be shoved down our collective throats like we're Monica Lewinsky looking for some Presidential action. And who plays a song without revealing the title anyway? "Konnan's Music Video." Hey Konnan, you're as white as I am, you fucking prick. You don't deserve that belt. Your music video sucks. Your "rap" sucks. Your "rep" sucks. You are neither bowdy-'boutit nor rowdy-rowdy. I hope your vocal cords get cut so I never have to hear you speak on dis EVER again. If you ever meet any REAL vatos locos, you'll be in deep shit, I guarantee it. Oh, wait, it's over? Maybe I can get on with my life. AND MAYBE NOT."

Wow, I sure was passionate back then, wasn't I? I just don't think I CARE that much in 2002.
Mark reminded me of another one of my "favourites:"
SILVER KING v. THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC, NORMAN SMILEY - Silver King busts out some English! He IS number one! THIS is a dream match, my friends. Hope Sid doesn't ruin it. Lockup, to the corner, Smiley ducks a clubbin' blow, but King kicks the back of the leg. Slap - off the ropes, shoulderblock. Over, under, catches the leg, enziguiri by King. Somersault senton! Knife-edge chop. King does his Rey impersonation off a whip as we check the Mayhem countdown. Smiley catches him in a wheelbarrow race position, smacks him up like he's his bitch and the crowd comes alive. King to the ropes to break it. Smiley pulls him out and drops him on his back. Into the corner - whip into the other corner - swoop slam! Setting up for the "doin' it in da butt and smackin' my bitch up" dance but King kicks him in the head from behind. Whip is reversed, King climbs the ladder to the top, moonsault misses but he lands on his feet - SPRINGBOARD TOP ROPE MOONSAULT!!! Aw, GOD FUCKING DAMMIT TO HELL SHIT FUCK FUCK SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK. SID VISCOUS is out - power bomb for each man. Double pin for Mother FUCKING Sid. (2:21) FUCK YOU, WCW. Only took you an hour to make up for that awesome Benoit/Malenko match. Piece of shit. AND THERE'S TWO FUCKING "N's" IN "MILLENNIUM, YOU COCKSUCKING SONS OF BITCHES. Sid berates the commentators and who gives a flying fuck.
I certainly appreciated CRZ putting up with Nitro and letting us know what crap was going on so WE DIDN'T HAVE TO ACTUALLY WATCH IT. Well, at least not Thunder.
Those were still the days that I actually taped Nitro just in case something good happened. Then I'd read the recaps to see if it was worth actually watching or taping over next week. I don't have any NITRO stuff from those days. . .
How POMPOUS!! What a total and utter mark you are for YOURSELF!! GOD!! I hate people like that.
Hey guys did I tell ya I run this wonderful little slice of heaven called nwowwf.net? Yeah, best thing is the forum, you'll never guess who it's named after...THAT'S RIGHT ME!!!
It's called Seth Monroes nWo/WWF Forum. Isn't that cool? CRZ himself will be registering there soon. What? You couldn't tell he was all up on nwowwf in that post? It was like sooo obvious. Also I'd just like to clear up a nasy rumor going around that I somehow got deleted from my own forum yesterday. TOTAL LIE!! I mean come on the friggen owner and co-administrator being deleted like a common troll.
What kind of fantasy world are you guys living in anyway? Don't believe the hype man. Flava Flav was right.
Good stuff on CRZ guys. Thanks for all the links and quotes. Even if Mr. Arrogant decided to show his ass.
What nwowwf.net nerve.

CRZ register at my site and I'll....be happy.
Well, somebody came on and asked a question about CRZ and his freaky recap style. CRZ eventually came on and reposted a segment of one of his classic FUCK YOU WCW Nitro rants (if the product's bad enough, CRZ does Rants(tm, Keith, Scott) instead of Recaps(tm, Z, CR)).
Then the originator of the thread came back and posted a long-winded reply that had one little line that was actually on-topic while the remainder was that poster's standard, ``Please come to my Board so it can be cool like all the other boards I want it to be like'' drivel.
It was CRZ who edited the post for content. He left intact all of the stuff that was actually pertinent to the thread.
DJFrostyFreeze found this funny and expressed as much.
Good freakin' lord, I can't believe it's been TWO YEARS since Hogan's "train, prayer, and kick somebody's ass" angle.
I don't want to search the ENTIRE Nitro archive for it and I don't expect anyone else to, either, but has anyone come across the one where CRZ put the huge page break in the report and faked quitting? That one was great and I'd appreciate it if someone pointed me in that direction.
Shit, that's bad news (the scaling back of work, not the lack of ties). Is the tech world that bad there? I hope it all works out for you, lack of job security can be quite stressful. I like this tie.
