    Jimbo referencing Tull. Awesome.

    At the time it was kind of cool, but now I'm unsure if it was the right idea to have every heel to come out and help Yoko win. I'm sure it was to help solidify that Undertaker would be gone for awhile, but it made Yoko look like a weaker guy for it. 5 bonzai drops in a row could have done the job easier than what half the locker room did.

    I loved that Burt Reynolds seemed genuinely moved, when he went in to hug Bret at the end. No idea why that pops out at me, but it's usually one of the first things I think of when it comes to this match.

    Ah yes, the beginning of the end.

    He did some filming for Terrence Malick, originally thought to be for The Tree Of Life but he wasn't in it so who knows where that footage will end up.

    I don't either. It wasn't some insider stuff. It was just a kayfabe storyline to use against a guy whose entire gimmick is being Straight Edge. My basic problem with that part of this angle is that these kinds of complex and personal issues a lot of us face everyday is above professional wrestling's intellectual pay grade. At best, that stuff makes Jerry Springer look like Shakespeare.

    Brock/Goldberg drew flies

    I want to believe that's what happened, as opposed to the more obvious and ugly alternative everybody thought last night.

    I know they wanted to take the focus off of Warrior, but it would have been interesting if they used this to somehow tie in to that big angle from that summer about which side he was on.

    I just think it's amazing that he has been with the company as long as he has, on top of doing all that before he ever appeared on WWE television. Anybody else likely wouldn't have lasted as long, either warranting a firing or going off on his own to start a new company. Even more amazing than that to me, is that now I can see him as a great announcer. I genuinely didn't like his commentating up until he started to become a tweener about a decade ago. When he started to call things more down the middle, his voice changed from that kind of squeal he did for much of the 90's.

    Is it sad, endearing, or mystifying that CM Punk is still a Warrior mark?

    Wasn't David Von Erich someone in Vince's sights as being a guy who could have taken what ultimately was Hogan's spot?

    Funny you brought that up. Bret recently said on Twitter he wouldn't mind giving Rock a few lessons on how to apply it properly.

    That and his bit on politics were the only negatives for me.

    Flair mentions in the fourth disc that he met Elizabeth in Raleigh, when discussing the various venues he worked. So, am I to believe from that that they really were an item at some point?

    This. I'd put in Mike Rotunda as I.R.S. (or his similar WCW gimmicks), mostly because there's a scene in Wall Street with Charlie Sheen wearing the white shirt, tie and suspenders that instantly remind me of him. All that was missing were the glasses.

    I think it's cool he's in a Soderbergh film.

    Plus, big difference between one man's actions and allying yourself with organized crime.

    He found his way back to Richie and Royal on the roof of the hotel the elder Tenenbaum now was working from...

    What would be awesome (and in all likelihood, never happen) is that they make a bigger deal with Netflix for streaming new and old original programming. Or better yet, start up a new web venture not unlike Netflix or HBO Go. Put the idea of a television network out of their heads, and go online. But part of me kinda hopes this doesn't happen, as it would mean they would vigorously take everything they own off of Youtube. And there is some cool content there, that people have put up.

    This can't be ignored. The segment with the young man on Hulk's first DVD, who straightened his life up because of just seeing him on TV one day and going back to that place of when he was a kid and looked up to him. That was strong stuff.

    Menounos I'll give ya.. (And she actually is a fan and did well in the one match she was in on RAW)... But you actually never heard of Mary Hart? The legs? The Seinfeld reference? Being a star on TV before there were 987 channels? Let alone her presence at WrestleMania III
  23. flyonthewall2983
    Late '99 is when he first appeared on television, but he'd been working some dark matches (including one with Owen weeks before his death).
  24. flyonthewall2983
    I saw the video. I don't know how it was perceived in the arena (let us consider for a moment, that a good chunk of WWE's audience wasn't even born when the company folded) but on TV it looked very awkward and fleeting, especially given the timing.
  25. flyonthewall2983
    Which makes no sense considering that Cyndi Lauper was one of the biggest stars in music at the time. That's completely backwards. It's not as if Lou Albano was a hot property before he did that video. It makes them feel good to think people needed their spotlight.
