Technically the Outsiders ARE in the Hall of Fame. Nash and Hall were both inducted seperately, and the NWO was inducted as a unit (and Nash and Hall never teamed up outside the NWO AFAIK).

So apparently Jacques Rougeau was interviewed for an episode about Ray Traylor (personally, I think Jacques himself merits an episode more, you've got the backstage fight with Dynamite Kid and the controversy over the Mountie gimmick).

Anyone read the Barry Darsow book? I'm considering picking up that one.

Dusty Rhodes vs Mr Perfect (the only time they ever wrestled each other):

Some of the fans do make timestamps in the comments, still, the uploaders themselves should do that, especially if they slip in rarities.

Those are behind paywalls though, the Vault, while it is monetized via ads, is free, so it may be different.

Yeah, I read that most of the library is just going to be on the Vault channel (sadly, they wont post any events that had Benoit, just highlights, even though they could just edit Benoit out, but then you miss out on certain Royal Rumbles and WW3 Battle Royals). It would be nice if they could post it in some order though, right now it's like digging through a bin of tapes.

This would be a great way to post short runs in companies. They could do it for stuff like Owen in WCW or Barry Windham's stint as the Widowmaker.

I dont know, I think Ric Flair's final match (I mean the tag with Andrade vs Lethal and Jarrett, not the Shawn one) was pretty bad. At least Cena was healthy here.

I remember that one of the Best of the WWF tapes had a match from Kuwait involving Mr. Fuji vs some blonde guy (since the commentary was in Arabic, there was no way to tell who the blonde wrestler was). I wonder if that match was from this tour. EDIT: The tape in question is Best of the WWF volume 16.

It's wild that Cena's entire push can be traced back to impersonating Vanilla Ice on a Smackdown Halloween skit.

I've always wished I could have seen Andre the Giant or Kerry Von Erich when they were in their prime. Sure, there's plenty of older footage which I'm thankful for, but I'm talking about appreciating them back in the day (I was born in 1979 and didnt start watching wrestling until 1990 when Andre was semi-retired and Kerry had lost his foot and was nowhere near as good or over as he was in the 80s). Any examples you have?

Bump Anyone read the Gorilla Monsoon biography? Pretty comprehensive, and kind of works as a history of the wwf type book as well.

The problem with face paint is that, from the ones I've seen, it flakes off during the match, which means that for a long match, by the end of the match the "mystery" is gone (if they used the same type of paint that circus clowns or rock groups like KISS used, it might stay on better). As someone who basically sees wrestling as a live-action comic book, the masks help the superhero image (and it's still possible to show emotion depending on the mask, look at Rey Mysterio Jr for example).

Only one guy smiling there (Heyman).
