I also remember jim herd got wcw profiled in 1990 on a cbs connie chung piece. The segment opens up with connie saying how wrestling was the F word. Then it shows wcw behind the scenes as if wcw endorsed the piece saying how wrestling was fake. The F word was a big no-no in 1990, especially in wcw. Since many took great pride in not being sports entertainers. We were rasslers! Many in wcw were pissed at the piece for connie using the F word. Herd thought he would placate the wcw crew with free pizza and beer at a house show. Hawk said he would punch out anyone that touched the pizza and beer. Nobody had pizza that night, ironically from pizza man. Memories

My honest thoughts of jim herd on a professional and not personal basis. He thought he knew more about wrestling than the wrestling people, which was dangerous. He never understood the initial core wcw fans were holdovers from the crockett's. Instead he kept trying to implement wwe inspired cartoon characters that mostly 💣 or got rejected by the fans. He never understood the wcw audience didnt want wwe light. He argued with booking, top talent to the point they quit in frustration. He put in ole anderson in charge. Ole had outated ideas, no respect for talent, and no problems placating pizza man's ideas to create a crappy 1990 product. Herd had no clue from 4/89 to wrestle war 1990 that flair's booking team was giving creative direction, entertaining tv. Instead they all quit creative to give us ole's master piece of 1990. Jim screwed arn anderson by guaranteeing him X amount of $$$ to leave wwe in 1989 than cut the guarantee in half after he left wwe. Herd embarassed wcw with the summer of "we want flair" by disrespecting his contributions and legacy. I can go on and on.
