    When did he get his hair cut?

    I'd like to think the money in Bad News' hand is because Ted paid him extra to actually stick with the match. In Survivor Series matches previous to this one, he would storm out and be counted out eventually. With the continuity they had on angles then, I'd believe they would go with that.

    Well, the punishment was it's own reward to Martel and Valentine that year. Any Rumble they participated in after, it would usually be mentioned how well they did that year.

    I never liked that stipulation. I understood it when they did the matches with the tag teams at the first Survivor Series', the matches would have lasted 90 minutes a piece otherwise.

    Did he ever have another match in North America after Toronto?
  6. flyonthewall2983
    It's amazing how much he slimmed down from when he started to when he was damn near catching up with Hennig in their WrestleMania match. Has anyone seen the squash match he was in against Tully Blanchard that impressed Dusty so much that he gave him the Big Bubba gimmick and the rest is history?

    Flair, in his shoot interview and I'm guessing his book, said that he was dealing with anxiety and depression issues around this time, so it'd be no surprise that he'll have a lot of off-nights in this yearbook until he's up north.

    I love this idea.

    In one of the Observer threads here, it said that the company was originally going to have Randy have a feud with Ted in '91 instead of Jake but Randy nixed it. That would have been a pretty good top-level feud for him before Money Inc.

    I also believed it when Cena said he was going to go into his match with Rock as WWE champ.
  11. flyonthewall2983
    Yeah, but Punk's streak against "the" streak is a great idea. I hope that's what happens. I'm predicting Rock/Brock for WM, with Brock interfering in tomorrow's match.

    I didn't realize people moved that quickly from WWF to WCW back then. I'm guessing Dusty (Dustin too, maybe) didn't even leave Florida between the Rumble and then.

    Was Marty injured? I noticed the tape on his ribs, and that neither Gorilla or Hillbilly Jim mentioned it. More impressive if you consider the airtime he gets in this one.
  14. flyonthewall2983
    Was this a hint towards Vince being the real "boss man"?
  15. flyonthewall2983
    I wonder how this would have played out if the war was as long as the 2nd time with Iraq was. Ending as early as it did (I think it was already done by the time WM 7 came around) gave a good out for the Slaughter character to turn back babyface like he did.

    Who was Vic Steamboat?
  17. flyonthewall2983
    Piper really sells it in the broadcast booth, foreshadowing his involvement in the angle.

    I liked this Rumble match overall. You had some interesting face-off's that wouldn't have happened anytime else (LOD eliminating Undertaker collectively was a nice spot), as with every Rumble. Both Martel and Greg Valentine had good showings here as well. The one real negative is that Randy Savage no-showed.
  19. flyonthewall2983
    Weird they would do something like that towards the end of the character's run. Feels like something they'd do more towards the beginning to get him over.
  20. flyonthewall2983
    The interesting thing about all this is is that Percy Pringle credits Rude for getting him a meeting with Vince and J.J. Dillon that ultimately led to the Paul Bearer gig.
  21. flyonthewall2983
    The cool thing about it would have been seeing him work against guys like Meng or John Tenta around that time.
  22. flyonthewall2983
    Probably the only time a genuine A-lister (at the time) was ever noted at one of these things. That aside, the Jake promo is probably one of the best things he's ever done. The match was okay, probably most notable for me was when the crowd did the wave.
  23. flyonthewall2983
    Bobby Heenan had a funny story about MTM being obsessed with Barbarian's outfit. I'd imagine since she paid for a ticket, they didn't want to hype her appearance if at all so she wouldn't be bothered. Like when they were in Los Angeles some years back and Billy Corgan and a few other b or c-list celebs were in the audience.

    How it's better (in the eyes of 1991 PWI readers) than Bret/Perfect is a bit beyond me.
  25. flyonthewall2983
    Why the Luger/Sting match got PWI's MOTY is beyond me.
