    Not wrestling but hockey has probably seen some of the most grody unintentional blade jobs in history.

    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.

    There's a funny generic reference to wrestling in one episode of the latest season of Orange Is The New Black.

    Current WWE

    It could be his response to senility.

    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.

    Twitter.

    Yes. God yes.

    Still is.

    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.

    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.
  12. flyonthewall2983
    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.
  13. flyonthewall2983
    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.

    I remember clearly when they announced that Bret won the title, on All-American I believe. Was kind of out of nowhere as I thought he'd just go around with Davey Boy and get the IC title back.
  15. flyonthewall2983
    They should have made Michael a manager in 1995, have him take over Dibiase's stable.

    They're all from the south but of all of them, the only one with slightly thick southern accents are JBL and Austin. It's barely detectable in either Shawn or Taker's voice, and I can't really hear one in Jerry either.
  18. flyonthewall2983
    I'd really like to see Lawler on Letterman before Dave retires. I'm surprised they didn't try and get him after his recovery.
  19. flyonthewall2983
    That's probably a better idea (though maybe closer to 30 minutes since no commercials).
  20. flyonthewall2983
    Counterpoint: Hillbilly Jim, Jimmy Hart, Honky Tonk Man and the Big Boss Man.
  21. flyonthewall2983
    One scenario I can imagine is that if Randy stuck around, him and Bob (after winning the belt from Bret) would have gone around the horn in house shows before Nash getting the belt at the Royal Rumble as I can't imagine the original plan being Diesel winning the belt at a house show, even if it was MSG.
  22. flyonthewall2983
    I would hope they never take anything down. I mean this isn't a Netflix deal with rights issues to deal with. Once it's up on the Network, it should stay on the Network. I said this before, but the one exception to this that I would accept is if they put documentaries from forthcoming Home Video releases on for one night only, for the purpose of garnering interest in the release and maybe resulting in higher sales since that department is in something of a slump now.

    Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
  24. flyonthewall2983
    And he'd only had 3 wins by then so maybe mildly impressive at the time. The streak itself was never as impressive to me as how well he worked so late in his career against guys like Shawn, Batista and others. It did build up this fascinating and engaging narrative that it sort of represented the fight within him to carry on after so long.
  25. flyonthewall2983
    I think the streak was first mentioned back in 1997 by Taker himself at the Slammys. It wasn't called "The Streak" but he mentioned he'd been undefeated at WM by that point.
