Tony Schiavone and early 90s WCW announcing
flyonthewall2983 replied to JerryvonKramer's topic in Megathread archive
Does anyone listen to Schiovane as a baseball announcer now, and if so does he manage to use any "Tony-ism's" as related to the game? -
It makes sense to me. I do feel a little dumber after watching his promos. This post should not be slept on. Nice work. I laughed. I'll second that. Thanks. And I don't care if it's a body-building term, "skinny fat ass" is still stupid.

I never got Sting/Luger vs. Steiners winning in '91, over Hart/Perfect from that year's SummerSlam. It's a good match, but way too short. If it went 25-30 minutes, one could make the case for it, but I still don't quite get it. -
Is the block logo now illegal too?

Someone else had "Superstars Of Wrestling" trademarked. -

[1993-11-20-WCW-Battlebowl] Battlebowl match
flyonthewall2983 replied to Loss's topic in November 1993
This might be the best BattleBowl in terms of participants, and in execution. And a great use of that wonderful ramp they used a lot back then, cutting the sides for elimination down to three.- 8 replies

[1992-04-05-WWF-Wrestlemania VIII] Ric Flair vs Randy Savage
flyonthewall2983 replied to Loss's topic in April 1992
It was my first one, too. I think it's really sad Flair/Hogan didn't come to pass at this show, but the Savage feud had better heat than what they tried to accomplish with Hulk. Their mistake was having them face off at arena shows right off the bat and not building up the Royal Rumble as some kind of showdown between the two for the vacant title, to have Flair win as he did. It's a hot match, but I don't think it lived up to expectation. Part of this is, in my opinion, because of the angle. All the outside stuff is a distraction to what could have been a great one-on-one contest. WCW repeated this Ad Nauseum a few years later, first with Lanny, and then again with Liz. That said, the angle in the Fall of '96 with Liz being held by the NWO was a more involving and interesting angle. -
I was about to make that point, actually. He hasn't done a regular road schedule for awhile so he practically is already. But the purpose of the thread is to speculate if he's entirely done by now.

It ensures that coveted demographic of old, scary middle-aged white male stalkers. -
I've heard some speculation that went along with the "bald" picture that he's hung up his spurs and is done. Seeing him wheeled out of WM was pretty harsh to watch, and it certainly went through my mind I may have been watching his last one out.

This was quite a revelation seeing some guys I'd only associated with WWF, particularly Flair, Piper and DiBiase. The music used in both these montages was quite good.

This was the first WCW event I ever watched. We taped the replay of the show, and sadly it was cut during the heels entrance of this very match. I saw it for the first time recently on WWEClassics.com. I have to say it doesn't hold up with the rest of the excellent card, it felt like they were in a race with time to get the whole match on the show.

[1992-11-16-WWF-Primetime Wrestling] Randy Savage's mystery partner
flyonthewall2983 replied to Loss's topic in November 1992
I loved this segment. It's probably the most blunt face turn you'll ever see, but by God it works. -

Not to mention a HUGE drop-off in ticket sales. But maybe they'll just do controversial political angle, and move into a smaller building because of "terrorist threats". -
Best thing to come out of it is all the Super Dave references on Twitter.

[1992-06-13-WCW-Saturday Night] Bruise Cruise commercial

Things like this always remind me of the piece Chuck Klosterman wrote called "That 70's Cruise" about attending one with Journey, REO Speedwagon and Styx.- 10 replies

I think Ellering had it worse with his horrible ventriloquism. -
Well that was lame.

[1992-04-05-WWF-Wrestlemania VIII] Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper
flyonthewall2983 replied to Loss's topic in April 1992
Vince may have let it slide for more personal reasons. In Bret's book, he said that weekend of the show, Shane made a rather rude gesture towards his wife and had a heated confrontation from what I remember reading.- 38 replies

Chris, Nancy, & Daniel Benoit found dead
flyonthewall2983 replied to Bix's topic in Megathread archive
I was thinking of something along the lines of a home invasion gone wrong. I wasn't aware of Chris' prior domestic abuse charge, so that's what made the most sense at the time. -

That happened too. On the DVD, Trips goes off on the guy who had the poster. -

When did that happen? And what was the context? I must have missed it. One good example would be him bitching out the one contestant on Tough Enough, for basically being a Goldberg fan. -
[1992-05-30-WWF-Superstars] Big Boss Man and Nailz
flyonthewall2983 replied to Loss's topic in May 1992
Was there a reason why they put Boss Man on the shelf for so long? I seem to remember he came back on television that October or something. Was it just to maximize Nailz as a heel, or something behind the scenes?- 19 replies
