That Time Chuck Norris Showed Up In WCW
By The_Night_Rider on June 27, 2017@manlymovie
But for Jean Claude Van Damme, WCW so-sold his presence even harder. During the third hour, at a time when WCW was firmly losing the ratings war, announcer Tony Schiavone nonchalantly (to paraphrase) says; ‘oh look, Jean Claude Van Damme’, before the camera cuts away. Now don’t sound too excited, Tony…!
Eventually both men get into the ring and embrace, after a hero wins his match. But again, borderline no-selling happens from the announcers, somewhat humorously. Compare this to the WWF, who used their celebrity appearances to the fullest. Almost certainly, both Norris and Van Damme would have been in some type of tag match.
This was around the time Van Damme was preparing Universal Soldier 2, which is probably why he was there. And oddly again, the movie is completely no-sold during the entire show and not mentioned once.
