The '87 one holds up good too, especially when it's down to The Killer Bees against the Harts, Dream Team and Islanders.

Hands-down, the 88 match with all the tag teams. Last hurrah for the Bulldogs, only time we see them on the same side with the Hart Foundation, and a glance at what could have been seeing them tussle with Arn & Tully.

This would be great if Billy has someone he can trust to run the day-to-day stuff while he continues on with the Pumpkins.

Just curious but was Warrior-Von Erich/Perfect-Rude ever on television?

Is Ted still affiliated with WWE after Jr. left?

Well I would imagine a lot of the workers from the early early days of pro wrestling are thread killers, too.

You have to consider when Crockett was running hot in the 80's in the south, the only thing that maybe equaled or surpassed it in popularity was NASCAR. I'm sure it went hand in hand with a lot of those folks who took exception to it.

Said it before, but they could make a hell of a lot of money off a Netflix-type service using their back catalog of wrestling. Either that or enter a more lucrative deal with Netflix and give them more stuff to put on.

He was their hardcore champion right?

I was at this show. The most memorable thing about it is that we left during the Meng/Bam Bam match, and that Sunday we saw Haku as the surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble, thus being probably the last surprise defection of the Monday Night Wars.

3-Count still had back-up dancers at the last Nitro.

RE: Goldberg. Really wish they'd gone with the idea of having Arn be his manager.

The Limp Bizkit ("WWE's favorite band!") theme music didn't help him much either.

You try ebay?

Almost done, man. Like the song said, a few more miles to freedom

Why?

Well, someone should do it with the "TNA Wrestling" tag at the end.

I bet you could do hundreds if not thousands of those.

I'm just awestruck at how they are still open.

I never liked Bret's mic work. He's a very intelligent guy but somehow his promos could come off sounding pretty dumb. EDIT: Except in '97. The heel stuff he did was terrific.

I just hope he's getting the help he's needed for years on this, especially after Reid. I can see how it's financially driven but I hope it's much more than that, because the elephant in the room has pretty much squeezed everyone against the wall by now.

I like Stephanie's notes. Makes more sense than the other ones.

Mick pulling off his multiple gimmicks was a pretty neat thing I don't think anyone else has done before or since. The only downside I can think of is that it almost made having multiple personalities a gimmick in and of itself, though it never went to Flair-in-an-asylum levels. Those chair shots in the "I Quit" match are all the more disturbing to watch now because of the awareness raised of head injuries. Funnily enough, Mick said on his Twitter last night that he just watched the PBS documentary on the NFL and gave Chris Nowinski his kudos for his continued work into these issues.

I could literally watch Randy Orton get kicked in the head all day. Thank you.

It was mentioned in another thread that I'd love to see Gary Oldman do Vince McMahon, but someone else had the idea of Michael Shannon which I think would be as good a choice. Both would, actually. Michael as the young determined promoter draining territories of talent, and Gary as Mr. McMahon.
