    I didn't even make it that far in the Owen episode. I knew he wouldn't bring up the death, plus his voice sounded too sick for me. I don't blame him for not talking about it, but at least doing a tribute to him is fine instead.

    I was watching the official WWE doc on Dusty today and this promo came up. So sad that not that long after this they didn't speak for several years. I'm learning the value of the time we have left with our parents, as a man in his mid-30's who wishes he had all the more time with them when it counted. Fortunately one has always come through. One hasn't always, and now the time left there may be limited. Time that I might be taking for granted on how limited it actually is, they could very well both be gone tomorrow. It really wasn't the clip of this promo in the doc that got to me, but the look on Dustin Runnels' face when he talks about those years they weren't talking. It's a pain I know, but have probably kept it too deep inside. If nothing else, moments like this promo touch on how wrestling can (or, given where it stands now, could) be cathartic. Yeah, it's pre-determined, silly and lives firmly among the lowest common denominator. But sometimes it rises above, and when it does, it's beautiful.

    Interesting idea for a release. Even more interesting to me is how the home video division is still putting out stuff regularly, as opposed to feeding everything to the Network. That would be my guess.

    Yeah, there was nothing particularly insightful about that one. But the leading topic in this week's Twitter poll is about the In Your House show where the power went out.

    His Dusty is immaculate. His Vince is good, not exact but he gets the energy down. His Patterson sounds Italian rather than Quebecois. He gets the energy right on others, even if the voice isn't exact. His Johnny Ace on the Piper show was hilarious.

    If I never hear his Cornette impression again, it will be too soon.

    Tony was on an episode of MTV's True Life about pro wrestling around a decade or so later after this, and said this was only meant to be a temporary gig, as he was in financial trouble, and McMahon threw him a rope.

    I agree it's not worth the time, at least until they get around to working on putting actual Superstars/Challenge episodes up.
  9. flyonthewall2983
    There are still old PPVs and things where you can hear "WWF" bleeped out of the audio.
  10. flyonthewall2983
    I believe it's been resolved. I watched one of the episodes that had a Superstars of Wrestling match and the logo went unblurred.

    Sports Illustrated on this now. This feels a bit like a "smoke, but no fire" kind of situation, but given his past rep, maybe it's all about to come down on him, and WWE, in the larger frame of things. I really don't know how they could fire him, especially since Trump just congratulated him for something on Twitter.

    They usually put up 10-20 minute previews when it's about to come out on DVD/Blu-ray. The whole thing might go up eventually, once enough time has passed from the release date.

    Does anyone have any idea why the Jake Roberts documentary that they produced is not on the Network yet?

    I wonder how much better they would be at pulling off that kind of show they did in '86 now.
  16. flyonthewall2983
    I would much rather see The British Bulldogs inducted as a team, since they had more memorable matches. Davey Boy on his own didn't mean as much. That said, whether or not the WWE is on good terms with Billington would probably have a lot to do with them getting in. I could see them not wanting to put Undertaker in next year either.
  17. flyonthewall2983
    I said this elsewhere here today but thought it would be something maybe up for debate here. Chuck Norris' role at Survivor Series '94, protecting the Undertaker/Yokozuna match from outside interference a la the Royal Rumble match from earlier that year, was almost as bad as RoboCop in WCW. It made Undertaker look vulnerable, when instead leading up to the show they should have had him play mind games or just straight up hobble everybody who interfered in the earlier match.
  18. flyonthewall2983
    In hindsight, having Norris out there is almost as bad as RoboCop in WCW. Undertaker should have played mind games with the people who helped Yoko in January, scaring them away.
  19. flyonthewall2983
    That would be perfect, but so sad too. I could see Midnight Express with JR inducting them. Would be cool if OMG and Dr. Death got in too, but I really doubt WWE would put together such a class specific to a non-WWE company.
  20. flyonthewall2983
    My favorite non-wrestling moment of this match is when Undertaker tags in Greg Valentine. It's a subtle moment of weakness, and of how his other teammates might be a little spooked out by him.
  21. flyonthewall2983
    I think it would be a good idea, if they kept each show just at three hours. That seems the right amount of time for a big show like this, anything less would seem too little, anything more too much. Maybe have the first night on the Network only, and have the 2nd one for PPV as well. As far as the Hall of Fame, I don't see any reason it needs to be a big arena show anymore, especially with the Network airing it every year. Get it before a smaller audience, maybe in that much-rumored physical Hall of Fame, and you'll have something that can make for more compelling TV.
  22. flyonthewall2983
    So...who for next year? Undertaker, obviously. I'm hearing some things that he should be the only one inducted next year, like they did for Andre. I hope not, but I can understand why if they did.
  23. flyonthewall2983
    Is it just me, or did anyone else feel that the marriage proposal would have worked better if Cena and Bella lost the match? BTW, I believe it was legit.
  24. flyonthewall2983
    Glad he hung up his spurs tonight. I really hoped for a long time that New Orleans was it, but maybe that was the beginning of the end. Plus this was a much better send-off. Maybe not the match itself but the exit was cool.

    I thought it was funny if the IC match went long and they did the intro and everything during it.
