Watching the latest Monday Night War, there's already been one uncensored mention of Chris Benoit along with Arn's promo about Kevin and Ben Sullivan with the punchline of "no one wants to bury their child, but it looks like your child buried you" being left intact.

 

WWE lightening up on the editing, or just an oh-shit-we-missed-that-one moment?

That promo was awesome and I would have been pissed if they left it off. Granted, it would have been hilarious if he was rambling about Benoit, and then segued into that.

Kind of a blah offering, IMO. October seems to be a weak month since they always have to have "wacky" stuff in the Shorties which ends up sucking. Other than the WCCW, NWA, and MNW stuff everything else seems like a pass.

 

I kind of wish they would ease up on all the 80s shows, since it ends up creating shit-tons of overlap when 3/4ths of the Hall of Fame matches are from shows they've aired already.

Monsoon and Hayes making with the innuendo and kayfabed disses toward the homosexual members of WWF management is always good for a cheap laugh.

"They're two good men to have behind you."

 

Haha exactly. I always remember this Monsoon gem when describing Patterson's IC title tournament win "in Rio:" he had a lot of good, tough men behind him but he came out on top."

Watching Hardcore Heaven made me realize that Lawler was doing the same gimmick in ECW that Andy Kaufman did in Memphis, just substituting "WWF" for "Hollywood". The promo he cut before the match with Dreamer was almost an exact copy of one of Andy's except he name dropped WWF stars instead of movie stars. I was waiting for him to bust out the "I'm from the WWF not from EEEEEEECCCCCCCCWWWWWWW (in exaggerated southern retard voice)" line

So Michael Hayes does the new episode of WCCW solo, only to be joined at the end by Buddy Roberts in a surprise cameo. Other than the tracheotomy/voice side effect of his cancer battle, he looks about a thousand percent better than the last time I saw pics of him where he looked like death warmed over.

4:22am? Did you wait until midnight for the update and then watch 24/7 all night, man? Jesus.

Yes. The Monday Night War show is like 3 hours, then I watched the WCCW show. The joy of working second shift means I can do that.

Funny Bobby Heenan moment during the MSG houseshow..... Berzerker body slams Jim Brunzell on the exposed floor and Gorilla makes one of his "I'm glad I retired" comments, to which Bobby responds almost incredulously "No one ever slammed YOU like that!" in an almost SHOOT tone of voice.

 

Also Gorilla on Prime Time Wrestling starting shit and getting all the other managers to hate Bobby re: who's got Bam Bam Bigelow signed to a contract is comedy gold.

Man, current events really put a different context on watching Bad Blood 97 (which just appeared tonight) and seeing Vince talk about the death of Brian Pillman earlier that day with the most uncomfortable look a human being can possibly have on his face. All while making sure he gets the point across that the prescription drugs alleged to play a part in his death were prevalent in all sports, not just wrestling.

Eddie Graham was an incredibly creative dude, but why in the world was Buddy Colt on commentary? That's a lisp worse than Peter Cook in "The Princess Bride". He sounds like Big Gay Al.

 

But, hot damn. Dusty Rhodes and Blackjack Mulligan doing Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call from Lonesome Dove BEFORE the movie was made is fucking awesome, as is the Barry Windham/ Ron Bass match.

Fucking Comcast. WWE 24/7 just like, stopped working. I called and got to be on hold for about 20 minutes and found out it might work within the next 48 hours, but I get a free month at least.

Were you denied access like you weren't a subscriber? Or did you get the server error, "unable to process your request" thing? FUCK I hate that. THta happens on and off and, if you keep trying, it eventually works.

It tells me I'm not a subscriber. Its completely illogical, as I was a subscriber last month and didn't cancel it. Plus, its really embarassing to have to press some dude in a call center about pro-wrestling. I felt like a fag whining about nothing.

Well, as a call center dude, I welcome the chance to talk to wrestling fans when they call in. Most of my co workers who aren't fans are just kind of whatever when someone calls in about WWE. So don't worry about any judgments of your character, most people don't even know what 24/7 is.

Well, I look at it this way, I'm not calling to troubleshoot whatever porn networks they have now. I can imagine dudes like Sweetser calling up and asking for a premium package with all the porn channels and then possibly asking out his female call center person out on a hot date.
