Shawn got to have a title reign without jobbing it back. What more explanation do you need?

[1995-08-12-WCW-Saturday Night] Dungeon of Doom vignette
Zenjo replied to Loss's topic in August 1995
I was wondering why on earth Vader was suddenly on the Hulkster's side and not part of the Dungeon of Doom. Then I remembered that Vader wasn't Hogan's friend. -
Did one or more of the fans pretend they were injured and sue ECW for this?

[1995-08-04-SMW-Superbowl of Wrestling] The Undertaker vs Unabomb
Zenjo replied to Loss's topic in August 1995
Before watching this I had no idea that they'd ever faced each other in the days before Kane. The Taker obviously thought that his brother was dead because Paul Bearer had yet to reveal the truth. The story all makes sense as long as you don't think about it too much. -
Your winner is Genichiro Tenryu, Ashura Hara & Ultimo Dragon vs. Jim Duggan, Jerry Estrada & Kamala from WAR's older sister SWS. Duggan, Estrada and Kamala get top marks for randomness. The native team makes sense in that one though. Here you've got 6 foreign wrestlers in Japan for starters. The Eliminators and Garza were practically unknowns in Japan and had nothing to do with each other. On the other side 3 randomly assigned legends.

It's hard to imagine this type of match happening in any other promotion worldwide. They'd be inundated with complaints and quite possibly thrown off TV. I don't think that's a bad thing either.
-
He got me once, but I was prepared with the mute button for the chalkboard scraping after that. I can remember some boring lecturers from my University days, but nobody was as dull as this Dean Douglas character.

Imagine if Vince had gone up to Shawn Michaels and asked him to design a gimmick for a new superstar. This kind of thing would've been the result.
-
This was so tasteless.
-
The only positive was that they managed to get through without anyone being blinded. This is dangerous and deranged.

Now it's time to present the award for the most random 6 man tag in the history of professional wrestling. And your winner is:

All of the Dungeon of Doom segments are funny, and this was the best of the lot. "There's no Hulkamaniacs here.." just killed me.
-
Beefcake's acting when he first appears on screen is some of the worst I've ever seen on a wrestling show. And that's saying something.
-
God Bless John Tenta. He gets given the most absurd gimmick imaginable and he comes out and cuts this fantastically energetic promo, putting everything into it.
-
This didn't do anything for either Skip or Horowitz, but it was a memorable C show segment.
-
The sound effects reminded me of the Beauty Pair movie where they dubbed whole matches with Crash! Bang! Pow!
-
Okay it's a little wooden but I enjoyed this actually. Severn was so straight laced and unpretentious that it's a welcome change from your typical wrestler promo.
-
The Hardyz are luminous green, so thankfully they kept it short. Everyone's gotta start somewhere.
-
I think you're underestimating how good a disguise false teeth are.
-
Any anti-drugs message on WWF programming is always a highlight.
-
Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Mabel, Steve Austin, HHH. 1995 wasn't the best of years for the WWF, was it?
-
How did Curtis Iaukea get through the entire day of filming without losing his voice? He was so awesome in this series, and yeah I'm loving this shit.

SULLIVAN'S FATHER CAN'T SPEAK WITHOUT SHOUTING. IT'S LIKE THE VINCE & PIPER COMMENTARY TEAM ALL OVER AGAIN.
-
I did recognise Spivey but it's quite a different look he's got. He's really good in this role.

With all the goofy gimmicks going down we may as well have a serial killer. That's what the audience is lead to believe anyway. If Vince Russo had done this Mercy would've been talking about victims in his promos and murdering people in vignettes.
