    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?
  3. 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.
  4. flyonthewall2983
    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?
  10. 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.
  11. flyonthewall2983
    All I really remember about this is how stiff that low blow Chyna delivered to Neidhart looked.
  12. 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.
  15. flyonthewall2983
    Is this the first time anyone was turned in such a fashion, not before a live audience?
  16. 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.

    Comcast charged 75 for WM (in HD, 70 for SD).

    Um... What's the Um for? Couldn't find a good pic of it at Wrestlemania 7, and so I found this from survivor series instead. Fair enough. 90 and 91 was an interesting time for the WWF design-wise, the gear was becoming more and more colorful and their overall aesthetic was changing to reflect the new decade.

    Um...

    And exists to this day sadly.

    WCW had him on the upper card for awhile, most notably in his Halloween Havoc match with Simmons. Then he basically vanished once Watts was gone and wasn't seen until his brief stint with WWF in 94-95.
  24. flyonthewall2983
    He reminds me a little of the actor John Vernon (Dean Wormer in Animal House).

    Worst: Honky Tonk Man's "suspender" tights, pre-WrestleMania III. He said in the '87 Timeline that he hated them too. Warrior's flesh-colored singlet, in fact anything flesh-colored. Too homo-erotic. Whatever that thing Jeff Jarrett wore on top until like '97 or '98.
