  1. It was really done so well. I never realised he just walks to the back though...kind of odd given what he just said.
  2. My mom threatened to never rent another PPV during all that. Thank God they ended up re-airing it free or I would've gone without PPVs for a long time (tragedy for a 12 year old).
  3. The commentary is my favourite "IT'S THE KLIQ!"..."YOU KNOW WHY HE'S DOING THAT RIGHT!?" and then the utter marking out when they all embrace "WHAAAT?!?! OHH MY GOODDDDD YEAH YEAH YEAH!" is just awesome. That dude is near orgasmic.
  4. I got back into wrestling around this time, after watching Wrestlemania, and a lot of this stuff is totally unfamiliar despite the fact that I'm positive I was watching this (and only this....wasn't into WCW again yet). But I clearly remember this for some reason.
  5. Never before or since, has a wrestling promotion so perfectly known their audience. They shoulda handed out spoons at the door cos the crowd ate this shit up.
  6. He does say "This is the greatest sports entertainment in the world!" which is interesting.
  7. At least they used him right on his way down. Vader got put over big here. Such a shame it led to essentially nothing.
  8. "WCW have all those old stars from the 80s! They suck! Now here's the return of the ULLLLLLLLTIMATE WARRRRRIOR!!!"
  9. Yeah, Shawn and Bret going to restholds so early in a match with that much heat was a definite precursor to their match at Mania. Cool match though.
  10. You can really see that WCW was willing to try new things at this time, which is nice.
  11. The farting noises were out of control on this one. One week they're advertising in New York Times appealing to shareholders and the next there's like 4 fart noises in less than a minute.
  12. Yeah, they really wasted her. Maybe if she had things to keep her busy she wouldn't have gotten into trouble so easily. Unlikely, but we'll never know because instead they gave the lead "diva" role to Sable, who didn't have 1/100th of the charisma and/or interest in wrestling that Sunny had.
  13. Not exactly breaking news here but Elizabeth is a BRUTAL interview.
  14. Coming from anyone else these would be valid points, but the insanity of someone who was ACTUALLY putting people out of business and using underhanded tactics to do so, now getting pissy that it's happening to him is unreal.
  15. I also noticed Debra and Linda. And Woman was married to Sullivan at the time.
  16. Faith No More guy. I don't know anything about him other than he's a part of that group of northeast guys that seemed to make it to an AWFUL lot of ECW/WWF shows around this time. The most famous of those guys being Vladimir.
  17. Yeah by the time they did the "big" end to these skits at Wrestlemania it was already known that 2 of the guys they were most proud of were gonna be leaving. People give Bischoff a lot of (deserved) criticism for his petty swiping at the WWF but they did a lot of the same shit even years later, when they had all but won, with the DX invasions and stuff.
  18. I thought Jimmy Hart, Sullivan and The Giant were all good here, given the material.
  19. This is in my hometown, I remember they came back a few months later for a house show that had Flair vs Sting and it was an even better version of this match.
  20. I think they were trying to do a Superman III thing where he was progressively getting to be more and more of a dick (only not because of tar-lace kryptonite, instead because of washed up wrestlers with goofy gimmicks). I'm not an expert on 1995 WCW so I look forward to watching the rest of the year to see if there's a payoff moment where he goes back to being "good" but since it's WCW, I'm not counting on it.
  21. How did I make it to 2012 before seeing this? Hilarious.
