    Current WWE

    flyonthewall2983 replied to Smack2k's topic in WWE

    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.

    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.

    For a foreign title, that's not half bad actually. This was so much better than Beyond The Mat. Everyone seemed more at ease with the cameras (probably thinking little of it will ever see the light of day, as it was really just going to be a puff piece on Bret for Canadian television originally).

    This was just pure balls and a bit of class on Rick's part to do this. Bret praised him in the book for doing it and in a segment on Bret's first DVD with WWE about everyone no longer here, he gets a little emotional when talking about Rick. Bischoff's shoot reaction behind him is fantastic.

    Seems rational considering the egos involved.

    There are pictures, but nothing that I know of filmed, closest I can think of is this Flair/Steamboat match with Andre as ref.
  12. flyonthewall2983
    Probably just lip service. Between this and what WWF did on that same night, it seems the Big Two thought they could milk this for publicity (with Princess Di's death the major news at the time).

    Dude, I'm surprised he wasn't paralyzed from that hit he took on the casket in the Undertaker match the following January.
  14. flyonthewall2983
    We should call him Billy Jerk Haynes both in honor of Bobby Heenan and what a paranoid jackass he's become.
  15. flyonthewall2983
    Steve Austin said he'll interview Jim tomorrow for his podcast.
  16. flyonthewall2983
    Looks like we won't have Jim Ross to kick around anymore.

    The closest thing to an angle they had all year was them and Bobby against the Orient Express and Fuji that was just limited to a couple of MSG shows in the summer of '91. There's a match with Kato and Fuji (I think Tanaka was away for personal reasons) against Haku and Barb that's quite funny because it's probably the only time in his career that Heenan is a face.
  18. flyonthewall2983
    Yeah, but he would go up against Hogan again a few times before he left.
  19. flyonthewall2983
    Haku and him probably suffered from Heenan retiring from managing, since they had little promo skills. They could have at least put someone like Jimmy Hart or Bruno with them.
  20. flyonthewall2983
    I liked Santa coming out at the end this year and the next one with Luger. Doubtful it would have worked in '94 with Undertaker though.
  21. flyonthewall2983
    One reason it's too bad Jake never stuck around in WCW is that he could have had a hell of a feud with Arn Anderson over the move.
  22. flyonthewall2983
    Someone brought up accidentally locking the Flair thread. It made me think what would happen if someone erased this thread and you had to start all over again.
  23. flyonthewall2983
    From what I've heard, Arn has a wicked sense of humor (I heard he does the best Iron Sheik impression of anyone) so Terry could very well have done it to just make Arn and the boys laugh on top of pushing the angle towards War Games into something more personal. The problem lies in the fact that it lends credence to the undeniable truth that Bischoff felt he didn't need Flair and approved things like this to remind people that Arn and Flair represent "rasslin" and that he was angling for something more, ultimately to measures like putting Vince out of business.

    Evansville practically is Kentucky.
  25. flyonthewall2983
    That they treated a non-sequitor of a music video like it was a backwards Satanic message in a Led Zeppelin song is just funny to me.
