  1. It would be interesting if he changed his working style once he came to WCW, if he'd have gotten over easier with those crowds. Maybe not but it would have been more interesting to watch at least.
  2. I was at this show. This was the highlight of the show from what I remember. This is when the Nitro Girls were dispatched to frat parties and I believe this segment followed one of those, particularly because the TV screens where we were supposed to see it weren't working. Also couldn't see the power bomb which this segment was a follow-up on.
  3. Completely random, but is Droz still a WWE employee?
  4. So odd to see Bret and Jim wrestling each other. Have they ever had a singles match?
  5. To be fair, I think if they had stuck around Vince would be accused of just sticking with the same old guys on top. You can't exactly move Hulk Hogan to the midcard. Somehow he did it with Savage, but a lot of that would be attributed to Hogan not being around because they worked so well together. And guys like Bret and Shawn would be much more compelled to leave. In the bizzaro-world scenario where that happens, WCW could really have set themselves apart from WWF by saying that they were the new generation while Vince was old hat.
  6. The 20-man tags are my favorites too, especially the one in '88.
  7. Repeating myself here, but the line is only bad from any kind of perspective. I'd imagine people watching at home didn't think about it much, I'd imagine if I was even watching it I'd dismiss it. The rush of Hogan coming out was enough (remember, he hadn't been seen on WCW TV at all and barely mentioned since April).
  8. They cut out Kevin Nash saying "I'm the shit" during his WM 12 entrance.
  9. Both Hawk and Animal were pretty good at it.
  10. He's interviewing Russo soon.
  11. Of the ones I've seen live, Joey Mercury destroying his nose in that ladder match was pretty awful-looking. I saw it in a bar full of people, not everyone really paying attention but I could tell that shot did.
  12. I watched this episode on the Network recently. It ends rather oddly, but it's pretty much all Randy as the backstage skirmish between Backlund and Luger went a bit haywire audio-wise and we just hear him try and describe what's going on. At one point there's a shot of Randy looking at the monitor, and it all feels odd and sad at the same time. Absolutely not the way for him to go out.
  13. Not wrestling but hockey has probably seen some of the most grody unintentional blade jobs in history.
  14. One question I'd ask pertinent to Legends' House is if he at some point before settled his heat with Hillbilly Jim. In his RF shoot, he said he and Jim had problems when they were doing Prime Time because Duggan took his "Hulk's buddy" spot.
  15. There's a funny generic reference to wrestling in one episode of the latest season of Orange Is The New Black.
  16. It could be his response to senility.
  17. I really thought they left it out of the dinner scene from the previous episode, which made it a little strange and deceptive to me. Having watched it unfold later though made sense. I was really unsure if WWE would go that far but I'm glad they did. It's not an earth-shattering announcement by any means, but it's one I'm still glad to have been done. That said I couldn't care less about the reunion show coming up.
  18. Still is.
  19. I was right, it didn't drag itself on WWE programming or Network. I'll be a little surprised to see if his passing even merits a mention at next years HoF.
  20. Nice seeing Pat come out. I know it's one of the worst kept secrets, but I don't believe he's ever said as much publicly.
  21. What I'm surprised at, is that nobody here has brought this up until now that I know of. I've seen ads on website for it but nothing on TV apart from Raw. I'd buy it if it were impossible for other networks to let them have commercial time for it though. I've only seen Netflix ads on TV a couple of times, and that is a major fish in the pond compared to the Network.
  22. Ditto. They had some wacky commercials back in the 90's (mostly piggy-backing other ideas, like the Dennis Hopper Nike commercials), but lately they've gotten real lazy (even by their standards) with regard to that.
