  1. The pieces seem coming together for Barely Legal. Maybe they are even peaking too early, but let's wait.
  2. Joey Styles warning Tommy Dreamer to look behind was like children screaming at a Punch and Judy show.
  3. PG 13 are so awesome. If they came along ten years earlier, they would have gone much further in the business. Is the guy interviewing Flash Sr. later OVW announcer Dean Hill?
  4. I assume that they cleared the bathroom before the match as I would guess that they planned to fight there beforehand (which might not be the case for the Bash one).
  5. I think that was the biggest problem with Dragon's WCW run. He is just too used to work as a face (and Malenko as a heel) that the psychology often was backwards.
  6. Was Takako knocked out here (or forgot to kick-out) or did the ref just forget what the finish was?
  7. I'll give this one a try. The link for Akiyama vs. Kobashi (12/13/00) in the Excel file is wrong as is Kobashi vs. Takayama (5/26/00) and Akiyama vs. Kobashi (8/6/00).
  8. Back in 97 I thought they screwed up the elimination order a bit and "Diesel" was supposed to be eliminated before Austin, but watching this back it is obvious that he is there for Bret to be distracted. I guess the rationale for having a final four instead of a final five is that Jacobs was eliminated by Bret and not by Austin.
  9. In this case "never" lasted longer than the average Terry Funk retirement. Had they any immediate plans for Funk back then? I would suppose not with Funk being ECW bound at that point, but still. I remember reading in Foley's first book that he suggested a hardcore series against Funk, but I think that was 98, not 97.
  10. Wasn't Vince angry with Funk with some of the stuff he said here? I thought I remember reading something like that.
  11. Could you post the song list somewhere in the 96 forum? Then I can check if I am just really horrible in recognizing songs or if 96 US radio is that much different to 96 Austrian radio.
  12. That is exactly what I was thinking when watching this whole stuff. Maybe the WWF should have used PG13 much more promently as well instead of guys like Clarence Mason and Crush.
  13. Is there a list for the songs used on this set?
  14. That song got me a good laugh. Let's see if this is the only song in this set I will recognize (96 began with Macarena and after that I knew almost no songs at all).
  15. Shawn's a bad face promo, as a heel we was usually pretty effective (might be reflective of his real-life personality ).I have to agree with the assessment that Sid's promos are carrying the fued at this point. Shawn did not seem interrested at this feud anyway, maybe he was already looking past that at a Bret Hart fued.

  17. Do they always have mini referees in mini matches in Mexico? This seems wrong to me, but that may be my western bias.
  18. Shotgun might have run longer if they only did one episode a month as some sort of special.
  19. I am a bit surprised that Marlena taking off her top is not on the set as I think that is the most memorable thing on the first Shotgun episode.
  20. I did not know anything about backstage politics at all back then but even I thought it was strange that this was the fifth WWF belt that Shawn did not lose in the ring (his 2nd and 3rd IC title, both tag titles with Nash plus this). Two more were coming up in the following year.
  21. WWE signing past nerve damage Ultimo Dragon was at least very surprising.
  22. If they paid for his recovery is it really scummy at all?
  23. The only thing that would really help Rey's knees is reincarnation.

  25. What is the kayfabe idea behind Axel attacking Bryan? Heyman clearly wanted to screw with Punk, where does DB fit into the picture? I mean you could make up some theory that Heyman wanted Axel to take out DB so that Punk thought he would have a chance to win before getting screwed as well, but that would be really far-fetched.
