    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.

    Wasn't he locked into his contract, which meant it would have been hard for him to leave?

    Didn't Rick break out the Insp. Gadget ensemble again in '92 for the pointless Shawn Michaels feud?
  10. flyonthewall2983
    Yeah, but I wonder if he would have been legit pissed at Vince & co. for it, and decided to make the Loose Cannon a shoot.

    I always wonder how he would have reacted to the Montreal incident since he was clearly a Hart guy.

    I've always imagined that Gene Hackman could have done Harley Race.

    I got something similar from WWF magazine in 1996. I don't remember if they were that much, but one day in the mail I got a catalog featuring all of their VHS titles for some reason. Weird thing is is that the subscription stopped a few years earlier. To bring this back on topic Burt's got stories for days in these.

    Someone please tell me there's a "wrestlers hawking merchandise" comp. I'd buy it for the lulz but mostly I'd get a bit of a sentimental buzz, reliving the glory of Dusty Rhodes telling me the virtues of the Ultimate Warrior "suck cup".

    The boxing match with Mr. T was one of the worst things ever done in a wrestling ring, but Piper's promo on the Coliseum tape is probably one of my favorite-ever promos. I agree that a Roddy/Shawn feud would have been good business in '92. I seem to recall them having a match right before VIII. Kind of sucks that he left right after WM that year, he could have helped things go along more smoothly after Hogan left.

    Did they ever mention the back injury on television then?
  17. flyonthewall2983
    I'd started reading the Apter mags a few months before this, had a little sense of who he was, but this was the first time I'd seen him on television.
  18. flyonthewall2983
    All I really remember about this is how stiff that low blow Chyna delivered to Neidhart looked.
  19. flyonthewall2983
    I'd always heard that happened from a match with Abdullah where fire was involved.

    And to bring this around to my original point, he had New York City while the other guys couldn't claim to have as much stroke in Chicago or Los Angeles, the two runners-up to NYC as major American cities (or unofficial capitals if you like). If Vince, Sr. was the big cheese in a place like Albuquerque, New Mexico or Des Moines, Iowa and someone else ran NYC, we'd be talking about that someone else right now.

    The piece of music is called "Thinking and Feeling" by Larry Owens. It's from a 1984 album called Powerpulse, I'm assuming it was made for aerobics classes back when they were starting to get popular.
  22. flyonthewall2983
    Is this the first time anyone was turned in such a fashion, not before a live audience?
  23. flyonthewall2983
    So it was an all-ages show then?

    You can get the smaller models at reasonably sound prices.

    I love those shoots. Bobby is more like himself from 10-15 years before, his storytelling and friendship with Cornette really shine through. I love their stories about dealing with fans in the old territory days.
