    I'd never call John a slob.

    Wonder if WWE will reference this in some way with the reboot coming out next year.

    It's going to sound terrible coming from me, but I think it was either the 2003 or 2004 when they had both Heyman and Bischoff out as people were being drafted from brand to brand. The single funniest line I'd ever heard on WWE since Heenan left was when Paul said "I liked it better when you were blind" to a girl that was drafted over to Raw (can't remember her name but I know she did an angle where she was blinded and now miraculously wasn't).

    Surely that match happened somewhere, even if it never made tape. It was a PWI Runner Up for Match of the Year in 1976. Here are pictures of it. .

    You can be disqualified for beating up a manager?

    Is the Kerry Von Erich ET special on the 93 yearbook? I seem to recall them doing a segment on him after he died.
  7. flyonthewall2983
    Is there a handheld at all of the cage match that apparently took place around this time when both Warrior and Crush weren't able to make it?
  8. flyonthewall2983
    The Roma match is definitely from '88. The Wrestling Challenge banner is different from the one they used in '90.

    I watched one of the UWFI tags once. It's too bad they never faced each other.
  10. flyonthewall2983
    Please tell me that exchange is on YouTube somewhere lol.
  11. flyonthewall2983
    It was. And they didn't really have too many matches in WCW that I can recall. Against each other, that is.

    Makes you wonder how much of it was them and how much of it was Dustin. The character is an interesting continuation of the effeminate heel, plugged into a kind of 90's pop-culture sensibility of what they were trying to touch upon, on what was aiming to be a family-friendly product more or less during this time. "Identity crisis" is a good way to put it.

    I can't talk much shit about him at all, he actually helped my brother out of a tricky situation in Atlanta during WM a few years ago. Whatever opinion I have on his work, or indeed his opinions themselves are null and void in light of this.
  14. flyonthewall2983
    They did this exact same thing nearly two years later with Tatanka I remember.
  15. flyonthewall2983
    Probably just to get him on the show. Wasn't he injured around this time?
  16. flyonthewall2983
    It has probably the best exit from a battle royal I've ever seen, the bump Slaughter took to the post before being thrown out.

    This was an interesting concept, but it felt a little rushed and too obvious about babyface/heel. Would have been more interesting if they did a combination of this, and what they did in '95 with the wild card match.

    It's pretty amazing that he'd just sort of arrived with this match, as opposed to fading into the background. It's like Vince knew this would be an important guy on the roster. Dibiase's intro is effectively more goosebump-raising because of this. I do wonder if the dark irony of the character making his debut after such a bleak day in Bret's life was lost on anyone. It was pretty damn professional for Bret to even show up, let alone have that great roll-around with Ted at the end.
  20. flyonthewall2983
    Bret Hart/Jerry Lawler, in '93 specifically. The anger at the end of that SummerSlam match is palpable.
  21. flyonthewall2983
    Did he ever have any good matches with Sting? I seem to remember the rivalry, but not much else.
  22. flyonthewall2983
    Bret had some pretty exciting matches I had the privilege of watching while they happened (his match with Austin at WM 13 is probably the single best WM match I've ever seen), and had decent programs with guys in his prime. There's no doubt that he had a strong fan base in America, Canada and abroad as well. Even with how his career ended, I could never consider his legacy too tainted by the choices he made. But Flair's Flair. I don't think Bret could have carried Western Canada the way Ric carried the Mid-Atlantic, and ultimately the southeastern part of the country. Bret would have had way too much ego (a charge levied at him by plenty of people he's dealt with) to allow a roster of people to rise up along with him. Flair not only made himself, but others too. Sting, Luger, Windham, and lots of other people he brought into that territory who would become name guys and eventually legends. The question I think people should take away from this is, if Bret had never worked for McMahon, would we be having this conversation at all?

    It's too bad nobody stepped up and represented Goldberg's interests throughout this. Specifically, someone above Nash and company in that particular food chain. It's been said before, but it's ridiculous how under-represented Bill was by WCW. WWF had "Austin 3:16" signs in the crowd the next night, and shirts in production by the end of that summer. It was good intuition by Vince, but it was by no means rocket science. It's either that the Turner people were really too stupid to capitalize on it, or had their hands tied by the guys making the big bucks.

    We did that at our house when I was a kid for a few years. The first time, we actually had little wooden trophies painted gold for whoever won. Later, we did it for money. Haven't done it in awhile. It is quite fun.

    The unusual context about the NBK thing is that they let Oliver Stone use the footage, or didn't care enough to sue. Richard Belzer (of all people) name-dropping Doink The Clown to illustrate Ned Beatty's fandom on an early episode of Homicide: Life On The Street.
