    I think he was a face when he beat Dory, Jr. in '73.

    Was anyone announced last night?
  3. flyonthewall2983
    This isn't on the Network version.

    I'm just wondering how Tate managed to run a strip club, a drug empire and managed to be a cop at the same time.

    Hasn't Austin claimed lately that he's in good ring shape?

    There's also all the straight-up racist flyers he would paint for his Memphis shows.

    I guess the modern equivalent now would be Daniel Bryan hawking health food, which wouldn't be too bad an idea. If I ever visit that place I'll do my best to find out where this was and see what it is now.

    It seems this segment was designed more to get Luger airtime, even if it's without any context. It's too bad they just didn't reform the Horsemen right there and then. Flair flashing the fingers and "the.symbol.of.excellence" was a nice touch.

    The "tension" between Mongo and Heenan was the worst part of it for me. McMichael's insults are all the same, and Heenan doesn't have many smart comebacks like he would have in the WWF. It's no secret he didn't like working there now and stuff like this is easy to see why. For some reason I thought Flair/Sting was the first match. This is nowhere near Liger/Pillman in '92 as Brian is showing serious rust and wear and tear from his injuries now. The handshake at the end surprised me, especially without the sneak attack later that would be so commonplace in both companies.

    Luger as the ultimate tweener during this time was an interesting experiment, but it's good that they would do away with that and make him a total babyface during the NWO run. The match with Hogan was good, though it felt like a regular TV match of the time and not what would become standard eventually during the MNW.

    I know Dibiase didn't get very over as a heel manager but I liked that he wore real suits during this time instead of the previous flashy outfits the MDM wore.

    It's telling that they didn't go with an Undertaker feud (I think they had a casket match in '96 but that's about it), but they put him up against mostly very macho faces as to enhance the "bizarre" (gay) aspects of the character.

    Nash said they spent hours and hours trying to get this right, I think something to do with difficulty getting shots from the helicopter. The song is terrible, everything looks too blurry and yet they spent a small fortune trying to make it. I know they were hyping Goldust around this time, but to see his face at the end with the logo flashing across seemed a little odd to me.

    Not funny at all to me. It wasn't a particularly engaging interview to begin with and Jerry coming in and taking potshots left and right seemed very attention-grabbing. Heenan would do the same thing but a bit more economical on delivery so you wouldn't lose your total attention from the interview. I think the word "pooper scooper" is used about 5 times between Lawler and McMahon during this match. The cutesy way the announcers would talk sometimes was pretty grating.

    Austin by himself could sell it out. Away for 13 years, back for one big match (Rock?).

    Found it interesting that the camera caught Flair patting Sting's thigh so he could muscle out of the Figure-Four and do the yell. JJ Dillon I think said that all the Horseman had to prompt him to get his pop from the crowd.

    I never remember hearing them acknowledge his folks, was that in the live broadcast?
  19. flyonthewall2983
    So weird to see Ric running to the ring during his entrance.
  20. flyonthewall2983
    I think Rikishi getting is more the case of a guy who worked hard for them and getting proper due in that respect, than someone who's a top guy or an innovator of the business.
  21. flyonthewall2983
    Just heard Larry Zbyszko will be the next one announced.
  22. flyonthewall2983
    Plus I'd imagine he was pretty anti-WWF at the time. That's the impression I got from his RF shoot concerning the time he left WCW.
  23. flyonthewall2983
    That's what I was thinking. Shawn probably just bitched enough to Kevin to where he formed his own opinions without having met him. Makes a lot of sense, with human nature being what it is and how tight I'm sure the clique was when the split happened when 2-3 of them were in the other company.
  24. flyonthewall2983
    Didn't Rock have some heat with HBK? If that's true I'm guessing that's how this started.

    "even if the rest of the planet didn't care" Not the first time words to those effect were applied to Vince.
