    I liked this one very much. Two old war horses going out and busting their ass. A row of lights went down after Steamboat blows the fireball and I liked the darker look. Im probably the only one.

    If I recall correctly, Harlem Heat had been on TV prior to this (I want to say on Main Event) but they were relatively unknown. I chuckled at the time that a mere three days previous WCW was in Linton, Indiana at the un-air-conditioned National Guard Armory (Chris Benoit put Erik Watts over clean that night). Anyway, yeah, this was really bad. WCW, at the time, had this horrible habit of throwing us head first into programs that nobody knew were going on. Not one person on WCW had so much as mentioned Fall Brawl much less the War Games or that their would be a mystery partner to War Game with.

    The man who, as Michael Cole said "personified energy back in the day" shuffles out of the ring like George friggin Burns.

    I'm guessing no one knew what felching is or else that would have been bleeped big-time.

    This was actually taped, just to point it out, in front of the infamous WCW Power Plant.

    CHIKARA

    ajtroma replied to rovert's topic in Pro Wrestling

    Did anyone else find Quack's interview with Alvarez just vomitus? Quakenbush spends 40 minutes spewing each and every pompous, pretentious, theatrical buzzword while Skippy Alvarez sits there dumbfounded, absolutely incapable of wrapping his feeble brain around the useless, fifty-cent bullshit terms Mike is barfing out. Bring Chikara back. Fine. Im okay with that. But, also don't sit there and say you've never insulted the audience's intelligence or sling all the penny-ante arthouse jive you overheard from the smelly loser (who doesn't know either what all this shit means) at the Godard festival.

    Considering Corny shares the same political views that I do, I enjoy it. Enjoy them more than any conversation with that slimy, carny reprobate Bill Dundee any goddamned day.

    Did you get the feeling that if they were in the same room, Dave and Bryan totally would have come to blows last night?

    "Rock America" by Danger Danger? I could not believe that one. Danger Danger was a C-level hair band (which, once again, it was never called "hair metal" until well after that era was over) and I don't remember that one being released as a single. I couldn't believe Cornette pulled that one out of his ass.

    As I recall, Mean Gene and the legends he interviewed just took a massive shit all over this one right after the match.

    I believe, don't hold me on this one though, is that Lawler got into some trouble over this one. I heard the girl got some lawyers involved over the insults.

    Who didn't see this and think "Thank God For Kids??!?!? Wow, bad choice, dude." Its getting deep here...
  14. ajtroma
    Yeah, I remember that place. I believe the joint you're referring to was the Central High School in Liberty, NY. I dig TV shot in high schools.

    They actually tried to make this one work, storyline-wise. They played it that Dream Machine and Eddie Gilbert had been lying to Jarrett. They were claiming that Lawler had been knocking Jeff and prevented him from being at Monday Night Memories, etc. Plus, Marlin is Jeff's grandfather and Jeff was furious over Eddie getting beaten up so bad the previous Monday.

    They did their best to explain why a camera would catch this criminal act, at least. Yeah, it was contrived as hell but at least they tried. I have a non-ironic love for Zubaz. In fact, one of my senior pictures has a younger, cuter, MUCH thinner me in those red, white and blue Zubaz that Sandman used to don. I had a mullet too. I looked goooooooood. 1991 - 1995: The Glory Years of Zubaz

    I love wrestling with danger, controversy and heat. Damn, did the Gangstas bring it. It was topical and New Jack was just brilliant. Compare this to the Hulk Hogan Disney Press Conference bullshit and tell me you wouldn't take this every time.

    According to Scott Bowden, Dave was shoot trying to cut him off. Dave apparently was furious with the term "retarded" being bandied about. The irony is that most people I knew at the time thought Randy Hales was actually retarded.

    "Famous Final Scene" was the song they used in Memphis in 1985 for the Lawler-Jimmy Hart Loser Leaves Town match. Dollars to doughnuts says that's why Cornette picked that one. Do Ribera satin jackets come in any normal colors?

    Oh, to have been in the locker room to see Sid Vicious' face when the scissors made their appearance...

    I taped RAW in those days (those torturous days of Freshman year) to watch after the CBS Monday night comedies. I flipped over during a Murphy Brown commercial break to see Razor laying in that chop in the corner and tuned back to CBS. "Nothing to see here", I thought.

    The HUG was fabulous. Everyone in sight is just sweating profusely. This is the darkest, smallest building that I've ever seen a WWF TV show come from. I like the smaller buildings for TV myself.

    I really thought Kevin Sullivan was going to end up as The Sheik of the 90's. I'd read about this in PWI and the rest of the Apter mags and longed to see it (much like the Killer Brooks bloodbaths in Global that ESPN wasn't showing). I finally saw it and it was just as violent and chaotic as I'd imagined. I love the odd coincidence that both this and the Brian Lee Stabbing in November were both taped in Elementary School gyms.

    Perhaps he's just terrified we'll discover how many copies of Rhonda Shear Up All Night bumpers he saved... There's a pretty good demand for that stuff as well. Not just at my house, either.
