[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

The WWF is now poking fun at WCW's steroid policy. Yes.

[Kronos]

"Ted's rasslin is not believable!"

 

Even more meanspirited than last week, though I kind of liked it better. The stuff about slogans needing to be untrue makes me smile a bit.

I agree that I can see these slowly slipping down a nasty road. I do think it is funny that WWF mentions the steroid policy. I have no idea why they planned these out for three full months. Also interesting that Ric Flair, Sting, or Luger never have a negative thing thrown their way.

Alright, this one was a little more mean spirited than the first one, and the steroid policy knock was just stupid.

[Kevin Ridge]

I still don’t think it’s got too personal yet but amusing to see references towards wrestler’s size and steroids.

[BruiserBrody]

Eric taking tons of shots at the WWF in response to this skit a week earlier made me smile as I felt they really got under his skin. I didn't find these over done at the time, but I can see the argument now.

Nacho drops the tag line for our podcast in this bit.

Ted's wrasslin' is NOT BELIEVABLE. "Where the Old Boys Play" is a little bit better burn. Sign onto America OnLine TONIGHT for a WWF Drug Program Advisory!

[Stiva]

I think that Vince McMahon probably watches these back now and still thinks they’re high comedy. This is pure, undistllled Vince McMahon, right down to the hypocritical cheap shots
