LowBlowPodcast Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Maybe it is just a coincidence... but is 1993 your most covered year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I screwed up it's actually 1997 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 During the brief period where the new DX were heels and feuding with LOD 2000, HHH would absolutely tear Sunny apart on commentary and interviews. I didn't realize he was doing that stuff this far back. He definitely didn't go that far with Marlena or Sable during the Goldust and Mero programs.

KrisZ Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 They didn't screw his best friend either I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Enthusiast Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 This is the exact week when I went back to being a wrestling fanatic after the dark years of the mid-90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 the Todd Pettingill Slammy song is legitimately terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I can't believe I remember this, but the Mystery Jjammess Song was "Something Gone Wrong." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 man I graduated from high school in 1997 as well. In fact it was the same day as King of the Ring 97. God damn it's been 20 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I can't believe I remember this, but the Mystery Jjammess Song was "Something Gone Wrong." Awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueminister Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Regarding Shawn's "favored nations" clause: Bruce Prichard did seem to make a point on the Montreal podcast of not saying that Bret's 96 contract made him the highest-paid WWF wrestler. (Also he says that the Lloyd's of London letter never happened FWIW.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cox Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I went to a few New Jack City Wrestling shows, which used a combination of Dennis Coralluzzo guys like Donnie B, Twiggy Ramirez, Don Montoya, etc, and ECW guys. I think they usually ran Sunday afternoons so they would have access to the ECW guys who had just worked the arena. I THINK Mike Illions/AJ Sparx (the same guy who ran ACW and did the Great 8) was involved somehow, but I could be wrong about that. But these were usually fun shows. One exception, at least on a personal level, was a show we went to after our car broke down driving back from a Scranton ECW show in January on the PA Turnpike, so we were up all night and went to the New Jack City show afterwards, and I remember being a zombie at that show. But usually, these were good shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 A couple of examples when to use an apostrophe and when not: "This is Kerry von Erich's coke." "Fritz' fake heart attack did not win the WON year end award for 'Most disgusting promotional tactic'." "According to Michael PS Hayes the Freebirds' flat was destroyed when they got wild after getting drunk." "The von Erichs did a lot of drugs."

RazorbladeKiss87 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 In regards to Sage Stallone, I'm assuming the connection with Johnny Legend is due to Grindhouse Releasing and a relationship with Something Weird, who I think was putting out some Johnny Legend related stuff.
