I always figured it would be Ambrose who would turn, he has more of a natural heel look.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

How is the Network going to affect WWE Home Video?
flyonthewall2983 replied to flyonthewall2983's topic in Pro Wrestling
Is that stuff from '86 and '87? -
Intense match, but kind of a cutesy ending. That chair spot was insane.
-
Really liked Vader's interview. Much better than his KC Timeline I'll admit. It's funny how Steve has become the best shoot interviewer around.

Mostly memorable due to Austin's performance, and doing the Diesel '94 angle all over again. It seemed more like luck that he got these guys out whereas with Diesel you can believe this big monster would be making short work of everyone. At the time it was interesting seeing all the Mexican guys appear, but now it appears pretty desperate knowing the whole story of how basically it was a free show and they scrambled to give it as much local flavor as they could when they realized Shawn was not as big a draw in Texas as they thought.

Man that'll be something if they all go up. I really enjoyed last night's Legends House. No goofy challenges because the game show thing was more character-based rather than seeing who can make pancakes the quickest. Duggan being the anxious boyfriend waiting for Piper to call back was funny too.

[1994-01-22-WWF-Royal Rumble] Undertaker vs Yokozuna (Casket)
flyonthewall2983 replied to Loss's topic in January 1994
The accumulation of hokey angles didn't help him, nor the general downward direction of the company (in the U.S. anyway). I'd imagine those numbers rose dramatically during his feud with Mankind, someone both as a character and worker who could bring out something more in Taker.- 31 replies

How is the Network going to affect WWE Home Video?
flyonthewall2983 replied to flyonthewall2983's topic in Pro Wrestling
I don't know how much it would help either sales or Network numbers but it would be cool if they had one-night only showings of documentaries they are putting out like the upcoming Heyman one. It wouldn't completely stop the piracy of it from happening, but it would probably help them in the long-run if they want both the Network and Home Video departments to be strong. -
What do you mean by all?

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
flyonthewall2983 replied to Loss's topic in Megathread archive
This brings something up I haven't asked before. Wasn't Steve Austin supposed to do the show at some point a few years earlier? Why I heard it never happened had something to do with Jim Breuer being fired, -
If that's true the placement of it is weird.

[1991-08-26-WWF-Summerslam] A MATCH MADE IN HELL
flyonthewall2983 replied to Loss's topic in August 1991
Sid peeking his head out of the curtain when Hulk calls him out is a nice moment. He could be a trainwreck at times but he had skills. -
Is that music during the replay his entrance music?

I'm trying to decide if the person reporting this was confused, outright lying or if Flair actually did cut a promo at the disney tapings mentioning Mr. Perfect for the Clash. All good questions because around this time Curt had the big comeback at WrestleMania, which started a program with Lex Luger that never went anywhere and he wasn't to be seen in WWF again until late next year. Was there any hubbub that he was talking with WCW? It would make sense to try and get him because he was as identifiable with WWF as anyone and could have fit in with the more competitive in-ring nature at the time.

Miss Elizabeth was more Redbook than Playboy. She was certainly attractive, but I never got the sense she was ever promoted for sex appeal. I doubt that even came up and if it did Randy would have struck it down. -
[1994-08-29-WWF-Summerslam] Lex Luger vs Tatanka
flyonthewall2983 replied to Loss's topic in August 1994
Tatanka sure seemed to be shoe-horned into recycled angles. First taking Jake Roberts' place in 1992, being "blinded" by Rick Martel's "Arrogance". And now with Luger, doing the "whose corner will Mr. Perfect be in" angle (this time a little better executed I must say), even at the same event, two years later. -
[1990-07-07-NWA-Great American Bash] Harley Race vs Tommy Rich

It's not on the Network version either.- 14 replies

From what I've seen and heard which admittedly is not much, Bill was better on-camera than calling the action.

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet. Trended on Twitter for awhile. -
Leon White episode goes up Tuesday

The better option would have been to have Lawler do pot shots back instead of making a big production out of it.

I thought it would have been funny at some point he cut his hair short, and dyed his hair blonde again because He could have even used the toothpick (also doubling as a tribute to Scott Hall, who's idea it was to turn him into The Crow).

I skipped the LARP stuff. Was cool seeing Jim do a cartwheel, didn't think he'd still be able to. I'd love to see the raw footage of that dinner scene, I'm sure it was good for a few laughs. Especially Piper, with his hair still colored from the LARP.
