  1. Flair said in his shoot interview he was planning on sitting back and relaxing for a year, and amusing himself by seeing how they would attempt to cope without him.
  2. The time I met Bobby in a record store for an autograph session (in 1999, day before Owen died actually), I asked him what music he listened to and the follow-up was what does Tony like and he made a remark that painted him as a pedophile. So I can confirm how much Bobby didn't care for Schiavone.
  3. No doubt it still stands as the best RIP segment WWE has done.
  4. Is Jesse's commentary removed from the matches he's announcing? EDIT: Nevermind, watching it on Netflix now. It sadly is
  5. Wasn't there a big number of Bret fans in the crowd that night? Maybe not equal to Davey but still a presence in the audience.
  6. Meltzer buried the Piper segment, too.
  7. I'm sure in their eyes, all the badmouthing we do about him is actually working in their favor since he is after all a heel announcer. Someone should tweet this to Piper, see how he reacts.
  8. I'd probably be pissed off too (I skipped that segment). Not so much for Lou but Cole dumping on anything Old School. Fucking guy is a parasite.
  9. Didn't they say it's just for tonight?
  10. Didn't see it, but I'm happy his major-league botch won't be the last thing people who watch will remember him by.
  11. Brother called WCW Hotline when he was 7-8 years old. Left the phone off the hook, wound up with a 200 dollar plus phone bill.
  12. They can get away with that, and rightfully so because it's both Bret and Joey's opinions. Same reason they let Jim Cornette do those 3-4 minute segments in '97, letting him vent away at whoever was in his craw that day.
  13. Also why they shifted from "Modern Day Warrior" to "Texas Tornado" for Kerry Von Erich.
  14. Was it during his first run with WWF that Steamboat got the "Dragon" moniker? If so, that's one re-branding that worked because it added on to his babyface appeal, and seemed less cartoon (except his brief run in '91).
  15. Plus I'm sure it would be easier for them to just get Dennis and Bobby or Ricky and Robert to talk anyway.
  16. He eventually did give Barbarian and Warlord new outfits, but you're right.
  17. The History Of WCW documentary is surprisingly balanced, and not as pro-WWE as even I was thinking it might be.
  18. Totally didn't make sense. I was at the taping, and I remember a general disappointment in the crowd that Curt didn't wrestle. I felt it at least.
  19. This is very interesting news. I'm not really up on Resistance Pro's progress, but the elements could be in place if this show is done right, to get them the right kind of exposure.
  20. There couldn't have been a worse time for him to come in and sorta-reprise the Frank Drebin role.
  21. I kind of like the idea of Oldman doing it, just to add him to the other biographical roles he's taken (Sid Vicious, Oswald, Beethoven).
  22. Philip Seymour Hoffman as Pat Patterson.
