    There's a dark squash match on a Smackdown he did as Earthquake in late '01. I think they were going to put him in the '02 Rumble as a suprise entrant, which would have been cool.

    Tenta had some really good mic skills as Earthquake. I loved the ones where he'd be doing his jumping thing and whoever was interviewing was scrambling to get the mic up close. It's really sad he never had a long-term program with Yoko when he was champ.

    You've just reminded me of that and it could possibly have worked just as well... Ugh, I'm glad they didn't. It's bad enough towards the end that he was jobbing out to Kane and Mark Henry, but to see him re-branded with something too comfortably close with Mantaur would have been the shits.

    Exactly. It's no surprise to me they waited until she ran again to open this scab. It's not something I remember brought up very much in 2010.

    They'd probably be more accurate in saying it was misogynist, with special consideration for the product a decade ago. I'm glad the "Trish walking around like a dog" bit is biting Vince and everybody in the ass now, but a more coherent and comprehensive argument could be made for so many other examples going back to Ultimate Warrior smacking Sherri around back in '91. "Pornographic" is a buzzword the opposition wants to use with crusty middle-aged prudes who probably didn't know who Linda was before she through her name in.

    Well, Cena said he'd go into Miami WWE champion and that didn't happen either. In all honesty, I can't see him hold on to the title for more than a couple of months so I'd expect him to win at the Royal Rumble and drop it to whoever in Jersey.
  7. flyonthewall2983
    Well, to be fair the "Big Van" part of the moniker was already gone as early as '93. Jim Cornette said Vince wanted to rename him Mastodon.

    I always thought this was a good concept for WCW at the time because it showed the depth of their roster. It's a little flawed because there is so much going on, it's asking way too much of your average wrestling fan's attention span. Having the three broadcast teams was helpful in this regard, although the execution of it was akin to putting a Band-Aid over a gutshot stomach.

    Someone on YouTube commented during the end, it looked like they cut away to Jesse and Tony from Sags throwing up. I bet Heenan not being out there had something to do with his bad neck and not wanting to get knocked around accidentally.

    It all makes me wonder when the well is going to run dry. I don't know how much money is going into Linda's campaign, but if the Brock thing goes bust which a few of us can agree that it is already heading in that direction on top of another failed run for office, it's all going to add up somewhere. The push for the TV network ultimately failing? "Wrestle-rainia"?

    How was that a dig at Sting?
  12. flyonthewall2983
    Scott Hall talked about how when he was pitching his idea for what eventually turned into Razor Ramon, he floored Vince with lines from Scarface done verbatim, later to find out that he'd never seen the movie.
  13. flyonthewall2983
    That is what really killed him in WCW, is that he was untethered every week on Nitro and not guided by someone like Vince who probably knew the character better than Jim did.
  14. flyonthewall2983
    I really liked the match he had on Raw with Flair, simply because it was Hogan and Flair having the match they had quite a few times in WCW to a WWE audience (and I distinctly remember this being the first show they did after the name change).
  15. flyonthewall2983
    I heard the first part of that a few times. It wouldn't have surprised me, as it would have fit bringing back the Blue Blazer character as a goof on 80's babyfaces.
  16. flyonthewall2983
    According to Tully's shoot interview, he took the match thinking it was going to lead to a job and for whatever reason once he got there it was looking like Terry was going to get that spot instead. And once he got wind of the situation, he made it known he wasn't happy about it and pissed pretty much everyone off. So if it felt like a burial, it probably was one.
  17. flyonthewall2983
    It was strange that they were teasing that it might be Hogan, which would have either meant he'd come in as a heel or Parker was turning babyface. No chance in hell of the first scenario happening (at the time) and the other would have just been very strange. Would have been better to have the Flair/Steamboat rematch here instead of on Saturday Night. Philadelphia wouldn't have been the perfect spot to turn Flair heel, but it would have been a good start.

    My perception of him is that Vince created a monster. This is me, in total hindsight and considering everything I've heard about him from guys like Dibiase said in interviews and what Bret wrote about in his book. On the other hand, it was a great idea of a character. It took the Road Warrior gimmick to an extreme closer to Marvel Comics than Mad Max. He was lucky that he had people like Hulk and Randy (and even Rick Rude before them) to lead him along, in what can now be considered merely passable matches.

    Diesel threw Owen out early in the match.
  20. flyonthewall2983
    I vaguely remember one of his few appearances on WWF television in late '95. I'd heard of him through the Apter mags, but it was very odd to see someone else with Flair's music and the robe. An NWO "Nature Boy" would have been cool, but only if it was Ric.
  21. flyonthewall2983
    Who's bright idea was to have Barbarian and Warlord as faces?
  22. flyonthewall2983
    Can someone tell me why, WHY, the show with Alvarez isn't free on iTunes? With the right sponsors, they could get more exposure as a podcast.
  23. flyonthewall2983
    I'm not watching, but there's a Big Show heel turn coming isn't there.
  24. flyonthewall2983
    Why is this in and their previous match from Wrestling Challenge isn't? From the sound of it, and after seeing it, it sounds like that was the better match. Dibiase getting bent all out of shape after losing was a great moment, with Razor teasing him.

    Found out today Elijah Burke has a small appearance in The Dark Knight Rises
