[1997-01-11-WWF-Shotgun Saturday Night] A Very Special Announcement

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Goldust is pregnant! They show a cover of Vanity Fair to really belabor the point and announce that he'll give birth next week. This is SUCH a parody of a wrestling show, but at least they went all the way with it. Good for them! I love it.

The cover shot was a parody of Demi Moore posing nude while pregnant for Vanity Fair around this time.

Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but I thought this shit was very lame.

I kind of liked this as a play on the Demi Moore cover but this is my least favorite element of the Shotgun Saturday Night canon so far.

Forgot this completely. Goldust is pregnant and due next week! He hid it well until he did that photo shoot. They were throwing all types of ideas around for Shotgun.

[Zenjo]

Having never watched this I thought they were going to have him give birth to Mini Goldust next week.

[El-P]

They were throwing all types of ideas around for Shotgun.

 

Including really stupid ones. Russo must have been somewhere behind this kind of crap.

Okay, this went over like a lead balloon. I'm not sure what type of tone this needed, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't mid-'90s Vince Kiddie Carnival Barker Voice.

[Exposer]

This is amazing. What an over the top show this was for a few weeks. Putting this on the "cover" of a Vanity Fair magazine makes it.

A lot of this stuff is sort of surreal. I think I vaguely remember this from years back, probably in an old DVDVR thread about WWF daftness rather than from watching it/hearing about it at the time. But hey, if nothing else I'm intrigued as to where this nonsense goes next week!
