    I started watching in early '92, and by late '94 I was getting bored with it. The honeymoon period of Hogan in WCW had worn off, and by the next spring (coupled by a major family catastrophe) I was not as interested anymore. I really hadn't paid attention until early the next year I picked up one of the Apter mags and learned about WCW Monday Nitro and how Lex Luger defected. I started watching bit by bit again in the winter of '96, and was hooked to the Monday Night Wars until the very end. Once WWF became the only game in town, my interest started to fade. I kept watching because of either routine or I was living with my brother who was still a super-fan. I even went to a ROH show in 2007, but I couldn't tell you who was on the card. It's to the point now where I'll watch maybe WrestleMania or something else if a name I liked comes back.

    What's really interesting to me about this Rumble is that it must be the only one that's never had a super-heavyweight type come in and be a focus of it until he's eliminated in spectacular fashion, or in the case of what happened the following year, wins the match. I think the heaviest guy in the whole match was the Warlord.

    I wonder if they got the idea for that show from this https://youtu.be/2PHGmIAv4Dc

    This week's episode of The Ric Flair Show is essentially an extra episode of Something to Love, as Ric wasn't able to record and Bruce fills in, talking to Conrad about Flair's run with the WWF.

    The Pillman episode had a couple things I didn't know before, like the big TV conference in Las Vegas both WCW and WWF had representatives at where Pillman went over to the WWF spot and hung out for a bit. Vader is the topic for this coming Friday's episode, somewhat timely given the recent news he's given about his health.

    Listening to the recent episode of the Bruce Prichard show about Pillman's time in the WWF, and I gather that there was somewhat of a good reason for doing this. I guess she was being bombarded by requests for interviews from other media outlets but gave it to Vince because she knew he'd pay her back for it. Still doesn't make it any less disgusting on Vince's part, he could have given her a couple weeks to grieve to do it at least.

    Greatest finish ever

    Oh dear I hope he gets his stuff in order, and that he is in top consideration for the WWE Hall of Fame's class of 2017. I hope it's something that can be resolved for his and his family's sake.

    In David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, you can see someone wrote "WWF" in graffiti during a scene early on.

    Next episode will be about Pillman in the WWF, centered around the gun incident.

    Wondering if Vince will be a guest at the White House now

    There's one from Jim Ross at the Royal Rumble '97 that I remember from watching it live and watching it today I still get a kick out of it, after Lawler asks him if he takes pleasure in the misfortunes of others: "Selectively, yes".

    The barbs thrown in this election makes that Mike Love speech I posted on the first page sound like Gordon Solie.

    Vince McMahon has told all WWE employees not to say anything about Trump, regarding his appearances for the company

    WWE doing anything with TNA's library seems strange to me. It's mostly because they never recognized them as competition unlike they did for WCW. With the exception of people like Samoa Joe, Styles and others who weren't in WWE before, it would feel as if every Hollywood studio started buying up DVD rights to all the Bollywood versions of their movies and put them out in North America, with regard to WWE trying to market that library to their audience that wouldn't have been otherwise familiar or would have cared about TNA.

    The Monday-morning quarterback in me thinks Vince must have watched Live Aid and got the inspiration for it from that. Vince does have these big ideas, but if you scratch the surface a little it seems like it's always borrowed from something else. I think it's why they still celebrate the Attitude Era, because for once they were a little ahead of the curve in terms of pop culture.

    What was Prichard's previous podcast like? Is it still out there?
  22. flyonthewall2983
    I hope they do a full doc on Bruno someday.

    Again, I was at this show and I remember being out near the concession stands, and when the NWO music hit, people were rushing back inside. I've not seen that before or since at a show.

    They have those every year. He could mean a card with all or mostly Survivor Series matches.
  25. flyonthewall2983
    In my mind, probably the best Survivor Series match ever. You have a lot of tag teams who for that time that defined in the late 80's, not just the WWF, but the AWA and Crockett as well. It's about everything you'd ever want from a tag team match multiplied by 5.
