What Made DDP a Great Wrestler in WCW from a Fans Perspective?

I know there are others that may doubt his skill or personality, but DDP had the It Factor then.

DDP was the underdog then and Hogan choose him to feud with out of all people. For Hogan to feud with DDP, he had to have been a special individual. During the nWo feud with DDP, DDP kept on getting beat down, but his resilience not to quit and keep fighting made him respected amongst others. People wanted to root for him. He was one of my favorites then.

Back then I liked the Lone Wolf Scott Hall and I liked Ric Flair, but one of my favorites then was DDP for his resilience. I always rooted for the underdog then and DDP was the underdog. He had classic feuds. Macho Man had helped him out with his feud. They knew he worked very hard.

He was 49 and 50, but still working hard to be the best he could be. He never gave up on his dream. He listened to what the American Dream Dusty Rhodes told him as he said. And he focused to become champion. The American Dream Dusty Rhodes saw something in him that nobody did at the time and they built him up to be great. And he kept working.

DDP rose through the ranks. My favorite matches I saw with him were his battles with Macho Man Randy Savage. They had an epic feud. I was also happy to see DDP wrestle at a WCW. It was the Jersey Triad vs. Hulk Hogan and Goldberg. I was happy to have seen Hulk, Goldberg, and DDP wrestle a time of my life I won't forget. If you still hear the footage on the WWE Network and that event you will hear someone scream DDP vaguely, that was me.
He knew how to be a good guy and then a heel, but then the Millionaires club hit, and soon WCW faded.

DDP later went to WWE never to get the claim to fame as he did in WCW, his prime past, but he later on went to do DDP Yoga. I know some would say he does things for his own image and we all have ego's including me, nobody is perfect. All that matters is that he is an agent of helping to those who need it. He did good for Jake and tried to help those who needed it.


We are not saints in life, all we can do is the best we can do with our life. DDP reinvented himself into something that people can respect. Sometimes we may feel we are going all over the place and have no direction, but then sometimes things fall into place and we find our purpose again, even if it isn't what we expected or planned.

Nobody expected DDP to become Three Time WCW Heavyweight Champion, but he did it. He achieved his goal and he ran with the torch. WCW was fading in the blue then, and it was a sink going down, but he tried his best to carry the burden. Maybe he drew the lowest rating with Ric Flair, but he tried. And at the end of the day as long as they tried that's all that matters.

Still to this days fans wish WCW was around. Competing with WWE made both programs great. But I will write more on this on other blogs.

I have other recommendations if you like DDP or WCW.

The Change in the Fans of Wrestling

It has been known that wrestling fans could shape the scope of who they like and don't. In the 80's, they routed for Hulk Hogan and cheered and booed for Ric Flair, they know who to cheer for and who to boo. It was black and white, their was no shades of grey. There was a balance.

I usually identify with the wrestling fans as an indicator of culture and cultures values. They will listen to a chrasmatic leader. They are the indicators of change and have predicted many things in society. They choose their heroes.
What is going on now is scary because Bray Wyatt is becoming popular like a cult hero. He reminds me of Raven, but Raven was booed. However, Bray is cheered. And they cheered him Rowen and Harper as they beat and won against John Cena all was legal. This society rejects the heroes they push down on us. They reject the phony heroes who live well even though they work hard. No knock on John Cena, he has done a lot for the business and has kept it going when wrestling wasn't popular, but maybe they think of him because of that. He held on to the throne and he has given many people a shot. But still, he has been good for too long in a society that is mixed on him and a wrestling world that is changing. John Cena carried the weight and now a whole company can is capable of carrying the weight.

Bray Wyatt is anti culture. and Anti Culture is big right now. Where John Cena is equivalent to Captain America, Bray Wyatt, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk are equivalent to X Men. It's societies celebrities are Lady Gaga, Johnny Depp, and Miley Cyrus and they are big right now. We are changing and counter culture is becoming big because the world is not right and it's rebelling against what is right.

We are a society that has turned Batman to the darkside and in a way it's fitting because the heroes are the villains in society. I know this to be true because they cheered when three guys beat up one man and perhaps they did they during the nWo days. And they cheered for DX.

The fact is our society is changing and they are more blatant in their cheers. And this generation coming up values what I value. I cheer for The Shield and Daniel Bryan and I even like Luke Harper. Their is no doubt they are great performers and they become the standard and have become big. They fight for a purpose. They had to turn the heat up in order for everyone to perform better. The Shield is like DX and Daniel Bryan is like Stone Cold. The only difference they are doing more right now.

What happens with societies values and why is it rebelling. Maybe because we are told what to think and the rich have all the money, they don't know how to work everything seems that it is easy for them. Someone who has an honest job can't make it any more. Someone with two jobs can't do it either and we have a problem on our hands. People are rebelling and want change. They want a better way of living.

It reminds me of what The Shield said about Evolution on the post game show. Their heart's aren't in it as they were before and their minds are everywhere else and sitting on their millions of dollars. This is what is wrong with the world. The rich have made it, but don't know how it is to be poor and hungry. This is why their is change in what is wrong with the world and why the fans have changed. I don't think it's wrong. I think balance needs to be restored in this world.

Introduction to The Wolfman Joe's Woods

Hello everybody I'm Wolfman Joe and this is The Wolfman Joe's Woods. You may be wondering about the name. And I will explain a story in due time. But I will discuss about the format of my blog. I will discuss about wrestling entertainment. Just like Pipers Pit this will go over the controversy of wrestling. It will remind you of an era past as I could remember it and it will remind you of the frustrations of a new. From Ric Flair to Daniel Bryan and from the nWo to The Shield. And as DDP said "They love me, they hate me and they'll never forget me." This site will be remembered. 

Why a wrestling site? Are there many of them? As Daniel Bryan would say Yes Yes Yes. But I am adding my take. And I'll look back at Storylines of old and new the good, bad and ugly. Enough of my endless rant on wrestling I think my blog will speak for itself. 

I'd like to do a wrestler of the week and go over Storylines I will cover important segments on Raw and some Payperview stuff. It should be interesting. This is The Wolfman Joe's Woods.
