An absolutely great WrestleMania match and debut for Rousey. Everybody played their parts perfectly. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with her in the future, considering there is a great women's division now.

It's being called "Something Else to Wrestle With" which means it could just be a WWE production apart from the original show.

Jeff Jarrett's speech was great. Very humble and appreciative of it all.

*kisses fingers* a thing of beauty that one

https://twitter.com/wresnocontext/status/977789176870526976 This whole thread might be the funniest thing on Twitter I've seen in a long time. The Attitude Era Podcast guys throw in references too which is great, particularly at the end of this.

Blears. I wonder if in Alfred's case they can't find anyone from his family who will accept. The same can't be said for Stan Stasiak, his son is still alive though not in the business anymore.

There's a match between Hayes and Heenan in there

Would this make it impossible for someone to buy ROH from them then?

The way I see it happening is if a bigger buzz is created on social media (including some fanning of the flames by WWE themselves) around these monthly drops. For now, bring on stuff that gives subscribers a big nostalgia high like this WCW Saturday Night drop, to a point where interest can be created around more obscure material.

I really wish he had been the one to induct Rick Rude last year. Not just for the Dangerous Alliance connection but I think he could have done his career much better justice than Ricky Steamboat, who clearly was running off a script that sounded like he cut and paste career highlights from the internet.

During this time can anyone gauge, as far as percentage, how much of the MSG audience were NYC locals and how much were from out of town? I don't mean tourists necessarily but from other parts of NY state, Jersey and other spots in the northeast?

I agree with that too but I also get why the need to investigate it if there's some loose threads about. And it doesn't matter if one day they draw 200,000 people to a show, it won't be as historic as it was that day.

To consider it a little deeper, you also can't discount the fact that she was so motivated by greed and power that can only come from the kind of upbringing that lives from check to check like her family did.

My guess is that this will cover each episode of Nitro during the 83-week run it beat Raw in the ratings. It's a clever, if not entirely original concept, focusing on one particular point in time. It could even mean that each episode is just a watch-along, which would almost eliminate the need to refer much to the newsletters at all.

WWE.com reported that the drop will be closer to half of what was originally reported, 50 hours ranging from 4/04/92 to 1/02/93

I liked it as a way of knowing how Bruce came up in the industry before going to the WWF. I imagine this shoot will go much deeper given Cornette's meticulous approach to the research, and own knowledge of the material.

They made up for it in considerable spades by booing off that night's inductee into the celebrity wing

I'm not really offended by it, it gets a little annoying but I'm more kind of surprised by it. Then again (as has been pointed out) what was available to me as a fan 25 years ago was considerably less so I learned as much as I could by reading what I could find in the Apter mags or even lesser publications. I read about everything I could find in my school's microfiche at one point. I'm 34 and really feel like I'm of the last generation that can remember a time without all of the ease of information (or distractions if you like) that snowballed once the internet became a thing in the mid-90's. When I got into music sometimes I just bought CD's unheard and was pleasantly surprised either when I heard something I knew, or was taken by the music as a whole. That's just an example, but it's part of what I miss in today's world and despair a little for the younger folks who don't have such experiences.

Still don't have an example of Sherri saying something negative about her

It's official https://twitter.com/HeyHeyItsConrad/status/978769512681082881 I'm looking forward to this because I get the feeling Conrad can break through some of Bischoff's bullshit, and call him out on it like he does with Bruce.

Sherri had nothing but nice things to say about Moolah in her RF interview. Did she change her tune subsequent to that?

Yes! I'm fond of saying that on reddit it feels like the majority of users feel that anything before the Monday Night Wars was in the dark ages.
