Why did he retire?

To be a computer tech, apparently he wasn't even really a fan of wrestling

I don't remember seeing him on TV at all....and I was watching WCW religiously (though I was only 12 years old when he retired...)

but I do remember watching Spring Stampede more recently and being impressed. Sucks to see such a natural not go with it but if your hearts not in it....

On this day in 1990, Starrcade took place seeing the culmination of the hilarious Black Scorpion angle

Wasn't his music the Michael Myers theme? I'm old!

On this day in WCW history, the April 24, 2000 Nitro came from Rochester, NY. On that show, DDP beat Jeff Jarrett to become World Champion and end Jarrett's reign at just 8 days. Also, David Arquette beat Eric Bischoff.

Two days later.... you know what happened.

Don't I know it, I recently watched through the shows where he was being built and pushed. He was just SO shit.

Rewatching Nitro from the beginning just getting to starrcade 95 and these Nitro haven't been great but, Pillman, Guerrero, Johnny B Bad, DDP, have been fun. I still don't understand why Jerry Lynn in a mask. Pittman been disrespect af by all manager's. Hogan being the center of attention while Savage is playing second fiddle as world champion. I do love Buff. Riggs was actual pretty impressive too.
