  1. I wonder what someone like Heenan thought of this. Does he mention it in any of his shoots?
  2. "It's not hot" is a great source of confusion for me. And that's really saying something given how confusing all of this is.
  3. Chris Candido is my favourite wrestler of all-time. He was extremely nice to me when I managed to speak to him circa 1998. When I told him he was my favourite wrestler, he spoke to me for almost an hour. So this era is very hard to watch for me. Having said that, even at the time of that conversation, with the WWF run fresh in his mind, he had nothing but nice things to say about most of the people I asked him about, Horowitz included.
  4. As these are progressing, I can't help but think how perfect Sullivan would've been in ECW at this point and instead he's doing this cartoon gimmick. I'm sure he was making a lot more money though so I'm sure he can't complain but sheesh...
  5. To be fair, it's a pretty catchy song and better than some stuff that become legit hits.
  6. Yet, I still tear up when I see some of these.
  7. Are you implying Venice Beach didn't have an endless loop of his WCW theme playing?
  8. Yeah, people always down the gimmick but I think it's pretty good. It was the booking of the gimmick that killed it.
  9. Vince dancing to "Shoop" is like a weird mash-up of my childhood.
  10. Magic said "high school" in the clip so I guess that's what he meant. Weird.
  11. USA chant to those dastardly foreigners, Vader and Flair.
  12. I watched it too, and yeah, it was edited a bit differently than past ones. Plus it was "the history of Raw" but the most interesting parts of it were when they were talking about the Monday night wars so all it served to do was highlight how much worse Raw is without competition.
  13. Heh, more green-screen action than a James Cameron movie.
  14. Hayes talked about that on one of those Legends roundtable things. Basically, they couldn't hear the music at all (good ole WCW screw-up) and Garvin had only heard the song a couple of times so he had no clue what to do.
  15. Add me to the "don't get it" section.
  16. According to Meltzer they were really worried about Bret getting a bigger babyface pop than Diesel for his first big defense so they were teasing a heel turn going in to the Rumble.
  17. And then Rich & Gilbert won the belts back on the day this was shown. Pretty good feud.
  18. Oh man, that's the outfit Jarrett wore for his entire first WCW run.
  19. I remember him describing this one in detail in his book. Crazy that he was going for a barbed wire hangman at one point.
  20. I liked the match quite a bit actually but I agree it would have benefited from being in a smaller arena. There were some nice spots that got almost no reaction.
  21. The tour of Europe was in between the Bash and Halloween Havoc. He beat Flair clean about a half dozen times, which is just horrible.
