Elsewhere, Tupak Shakur – who is still dead – is being sued by some silly woman who took offence to a couple of his songs. Anyway, let’s see who was being silly and who was causing offence in this week’s ‘Meanwhile, in WCW’…

Brian Damage

The role of women in the WWE has changed dramatically over the last few years, thanks in no small part to the women’s revolution led by the likes of Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Bayley and Becky Lynch.

Sounds outlandish, but imagine living in 1997 and being told who the actual president will be in 2017! Anyway, asses were also kicked in the world of wrestling so let’s head down south in this week’s ‘Meanwhile, in WCW’…
