    I think Rude will be a lock for next year because Minnesota. Freebirds definitely. Hansen would be cool, but it seems that they limit the local thing to just one inductee. I would imagine WWE would have cold feet about Patera because of the McDonald's thing. Unless there's a blindspot I've missed, he has not been someone they've reached out to for things like documentaries or such before.

    Was there ever any indication by Meltzer or someone else on why they turned heel? I watched the Dream Team match in Boston yesterday and a few other things before that, and my impression was they were on their way to becoming a very popular team.

    "Razor Ramon" is in this match, but oddly Scott Hall has yet to ever be in a Rumble match himself. He was in title matches for the previous four years.

    Guys on Reddit were talking about how he was flubbing people's names during the '92 Rumble when it was on the Network. Of course I've noticed it over the years, but it's not as bad because Heenan would come in and correct him in a way that befit their chemistry. That WWE.com article in the first post is pretty great, btw. Interesting to hear about how much he still cared about the business when Ross came in.

    Umaga squashing Roddy and Dusty was pretty bad.

    Gotta wonder when the next big content dump will be, like it was with the territory stuff a few years ago. I'm hoping they put up more MSG/Boston/Philly shows. Is there a list somewhere of all the cards that aired on 24/7 and WWEClassics?

    I saw this on 24/7 years ago. I'd never seen an Eddie Gilbert match before but knew of him, but didn't know he worked with the lighter guys back then.

    I don't know if they would have drawn much, but I think there were a lot of potentially awesome matches left behind once Vader left WCW. He could have had real solid programs with the likes of Tenta, Meng and The Giant. And who knows what could have happened with him once the NWO got in the picture. Better than him trying to work around a dying Yokozuna, and being bitched at by Bret and Shawn.

    Maybe you could do two shows, one about the most scummiest thing not involving Vince, and another psycho-analyzing Vince.

    I'm still holding out hope for Haku.

    Mike Love puts a lot of heels to shame here.

    It's too bad their potential as a tag team was never fully explored, either here or in WWF in the early 90's. I think by '96 they seemed more like a tag team than ever.

    Motörhead for the celebrity wing.

    Purely in the wrestling bubble but it would have been cool if Jake Roberts stayed in WCW long enough to feud with Arn Anderson over the DDT.

    I remember hearing that Austin was tapped to host a few years earlier but it fell through.

    For pretty much most of '95 my attention was dwindled or non-existent. It wasn't until I read a year-in-review at the beginning of '96 when I saw how much had changed, namely that WCW got a show on Monday nights. I think if that major shift had not happened, I probably never would have gone back to it.
  17. flyonthewall2983
    I really doubt Roma will come on as he's said some pretty derogatory stuff about Ric in shoot interviews before. Same with Sid. I would bet WWE would let Arn come and do his show.

    I've watched that episode. Him and Mr. T did the skit with Billy Crystal that's kind of lived on, but that's basically it.

    I vividly remember the image of the sword piercing the ring canvas.

    Anything he would have done would not have been enough. It was really down to someone like Austin or Rock to drop in their lap for something to really happen. It was individual personalities that connected with the audience that began the long road to victory over WCW and pop-culture relevance.

    Greg Valentine actually returned to the WWF at the end of 1993, he was one of the hooded knights in the match against Bret Hart's team if I recall. Then he showed up briefly again for the Royal Rumble the following January. He left at the beginning of '92 and spent a good deal of time in WCW that year.

    First time I remember hearing it was on one of the syndicated shows right after the Royal Rumble.
  24. flyonthewall2983
    Was Barry Darsow in the March '87 Battle Royal or was it still the Moondog guy in Smash makeup?
  25. flyonthewall2983
    No, it was a press conference.
