PILLS! PILLS! PILLS!

They were only there out of "Please don't cost us Wrestlemania" self-interest; what do they care if Shane McMahon walks into a 3-on-1 assault like an idiot? Then I suppose that it begs the question as to why they even bothered to jump in at any point, since, as I already pointed out, they did eventually break it up.

Were the pills round or cylindrical?

These future TSMers know how to party hardy.

Everything else aside, how come the bulk of the RAW roster just fucking stood there while all of this shit was going down in the ring and didn't do anything until a minute or so later when the fight came to them? W... T... F...? Seriously.

I'll raise you this...

"My God, it's full of stars!" You got a legitimate LOL out of me with this. indeed, the dog's eyes are great And yeah, the far right biker near the pile of clothes A meme is born.

1. In the long run, do you think Sable and his ensuing feud with her (the in-ring one) helped or hurt his career? I don't see how it hurt. He got over pretty strong as a heel, but it seemed as though the WWF didn't know what else to do with him once the Sable feud had dried up. 2. Let's play the "What if" card. What if Marc Mero wasn't plagued with consistant injury problems through out his WWF stint? Would he have reached similar heights as the men he had joined WWF alongside; Mankind and Mick Foley (remember Mero was perhaps the most hyped of the three when they entered the company in the first part of '96)? Would he have maintained the mid-card position he had in late '96/early '97? Injury status would have changed nothing. As previously stated, the company just kinda let him get lost in the shuffle, as they had bigger fish to fry at that point. 3. What was best; the WCW run as Johnny B. Badd or the WWF run as Wild Man/Marvelous Marc Mero? I'm assuming no one will consider his XWF or TNA runs the highlight of his career. Tough call. I'll go with his run as Johnny B. Badd. 4. In twenty years, what will he be best remembered for? His in-ring career or his role as a straight shooting media gadfly (and the list of guys he wrestled who died) after the Benoit murders-suicide? This first time I ever saw WCW it was the Clash of the Champions match where Sting was fighting Johnny B. Badd and Cactus Jack emerged from an enormous birthday present. I think that I speak for everyone when I say that WCW is synonymous with bizarre birthday-gift related gags interrupting Johnny B. Badd's high profile matches. I really think that I do. 5. Now the obligatory final question; Favorite matches, moments, etc. His oft-forgotten MOTY contender with Brian Pillman at Fall Brawl '95 is well worth checking out. It is probably Pillman's last great match.

Punishing mid-carders > entertaining the fans

Venk, don't know if you DVR'd it or not, but here's an ongoing stream of the repeat. http://www.justin.tv/obama_barack

Agreed.

They need to not toy around with the winner stipulation. It's been done too many times already. Especially in the past few years.

Here's my somewhat uneducated guess, since WWF was really geared to the kiddies in '93, '94, and '95 and RAW was on a weeknight, I figured they put the marquee match on first so younger kids who had to wake up early for school could watch it. I know this from experience as Mom and Pops Kamala used to only let me watch the first half hour of the show before being sent to bed. That, and they also used it as a hook. Sort of like how WWE used Hogan at the top of that SNME show a few years back.

I never really cared for that idea when they did it before. Makes the outcome seem less important.

Who wears kneepads but no bicycle helmet? They've got it all wrong.

Knee-jerk list that will likely change tomorrow: Ras Kass Soul on Ice Jeff Buckley Grace Minor Threat Minor Threat The Firebird Band The Setting Sun and Its Satellites Refused The Shape of Punk to Come Self Breakfast With Girls The (International) Noise Conspiracy Survival Sickness Wu-Tang Clan Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Joan of Arc The Gap Radiohead OK Computer

I really enjoyed the bit with Stanley. I'm in the minority. Hot.

That would have been a sight to see, since Taker would have been nine years old at the time.
