    Any bit of mainstream exposure at all costs is their motto I would imagine, Pete. I think this whole special is an extra feature on one of Phil's live DVD's (yes I am a fan, though more of a Genesis guy).

    I mean the last 27 months specifically.

    It was so odd seeing him work face when he was in WCW. I'd gotten so use to "The Model" gimmick, I didn't realize at the time that that may have been the only time in his career he was working heel. Is there a reason he was out for much of '91? He's not on much TV and no PPV at all between WM 7 and Royal Rumble '92.

    Was Piper's motorcycle accident legit?

    I was thinking someone could make a comp (if they haven't already) of the best matches from this period.

    Bossman was in 6 months before Hogan and challenging for a title on Starrcade. I don't mean to off-track this, but WCW had been wooing Hogan for most of '93. It's been said many times it was one of Bischoff's first objectives once he took over. By the time Traylor had come back, it was close to becoming a foregone conclusion that Hulk was eventually going to sign. On a personal note, I kind of saw it coming once I saw this.

    All the better if part of this is Bruno playing them. If that's the case, he deserves every cent of that million bucks he'll get out of this. Even if it wasn't, there is still some justice in them paying him off like this.

    How did they do that?
  9. flyonthewall2983
    Doing the job is probably why they had him originally win the King of the Ring that Austin won (and the rest is history...)

    Watched this yesterday, and one thing stuck out. Dusty makes reference to the camera crew a few times, and says that "the truck is rockin' tonight". You almost never hear anything to this effect on WWE programming. Past or present. Only time I can think of is in the '92 Rumble when Bobby talks about the (genuinely) good camera work.

    He's in a book about the day John Lennon was killed, written by Keith Elliot Greenberg (who's written several WWE books in the past). Rick talked about working MSG that night, and that once he found out the news he knew that he was having his match at the time Lennon was shot. Afa told him the news and Rick sat at the bar with the heels and some fans, watching the news.

    Now you got me thinking as to other years after they could have done this 91: Flair and The Nasty Boys vs. Jim Duggan, Sgt. Slaughter, Tito Santana, Kerry Von Erich, Big Bossman and LOD. Not exactly much opportunity for a FIP spot. 93: All the face teams won that year, actually. Not sure how you could split it up. 94: Razor Ramon vs. Bam Bam Bigelow, King Kong Bundy, Jerry Lawler and his midgets. 95: In looking at the card, what would make the most sense is Shawn Michaels, Ahmed Johnson, British Bulldog & 123 Kid vs. Undertaker, Savio Vega, Fatu & Henry Godwinn. 96: Again, all faces survived that year. Would have been interesting to put Rock in a situation where him and another face were against a whole team with him coming out strong at the end. Could have squashed some of the heat that would come his way later.

    Plus I would imagine this (and Backlund getting inducted, too) will get some decent press in the NYC sports media as well, leading up to it.
  14. flyonthewall2983
    He worked more in the Midwest and West Coast, when he wasn't with McMahon right?
  15. flyonthewall2983
    The misogynist guy he was in WWE before he left for WCW was the low point of the Attitude Era for me.
  16. flyonthewall2983
    I don't think they even show the truncated version on USA now, last year they just had it on the WM DVD.
  17. flyonthewall2983
    Dammit, wish I'd seen it now.

    This is going to be a big coup for their PR if they milk this the right way. Bruno's comments on the Wellness Program particularly.
  19. flyonthewall2983
    That's a no-brainer. Reading the article, it makes the most sense. Unless they can attract someone like Zbyszko or Graham to do it, Paul seems the obvious choice. And frankly, he kind of deserves that much for essentially making this happen.

    Here's the ESPN article.

    Scott going after Flair like he did on Nitro put me off him forever. His match with HHH at the Royal Rumble during his WWE run was like watching a sweaty train wreck. Dude was a better tag team guy.
  22. flyonthewall2983
    For what it's worth, having Warrior in red, white and blue makeup really felt against character.
  23. flyonthewall2983
    Bring out the gimps...
  24. flyonthewall2983
    It makes sense to me. Bischoff offering himself up for the powerbomb to make people look away from him. Taking one for the team.
  25. flyonthewall2983
    Weird that Brian appeared at this one alone, Sags (Heenan: It's Sags of The Nasty Boys!) in '92, and both of them in '93 even though they're never in the ring at the same time.
