PILLS! PILLS! PILLS!

No, he's just at his day job right now.

I really loved this trio: The Dudley Boyz/Holly Cousins program from 2001 was really good, too. Also, this:

So, the short answer is no. Also, my MSN contact tells me that Putin loves Double Double E.

Enigma, it's the Godwinns challenging the Smoking Gunns (w. Sunny). The Body Donnas debuted Miss Cloudi on this show when they fought the New Rockers on the Free For All. Don't know if 24/7 is going to air that match or not.

Don't give a shit about guns or cars or jesus or football.

Thank you!

PWI is reporting that talent cuts are coming today. The Edgeheads had better not answer their phones.

Watching the 2000 Rumble, and something weird popped during The Fink's opening spiel, as he formally announced intervals as being two minutes or less. So there was no official interval setting? They just sent participants out to the ring whenevs?

Another small thing, for me anyway, was the 1996 Slammy Awards when the word "ass" was tossed around like it never had been before. They even used in in the (remade?) Buddy Rose Blowaway Diet parody, urging the audience to dial 1-800-LARDASS. Not a big moment, but it never left my mind.

That Tommy-Pam video almost made me gay. Talk about a whole boatload of delicious wang. Amirite!!!~!

First time seeing the Austin induction video. Cult of Personality FTW.

Jericholic, is that you?

I can't believe we're still arguing this... The reason that it is a bad idea to turn Cena, right now anyways, lies directly in the the company's target demographic. He's a draw with the young audience. I'm certain that at some point down the road it will be worth the risk. I'm talking years down the road. But at present time it would be incredibly foolish.

Hall: "I think Luger looks like a movie star." Nash : "I think he looks like Mr. Ed."

What's going on here?

I dig cow pus, so yeah.

That's what they get for getting fucked-more-by-teenagers than Pennsylvania lawmakers.

You know you don't mean that. WWE and bob_barron are still kinda like the only creations that god has left going for himself. Also, John Cena's shoulderblocks are the best thing since indentured slavery. Admit it.

Going through the Clarence Mason article from a couple years back reminds me of how disappointed I was that he didn't last longer than he did. Mason was a really solid manager, during a period where they were trying to phase those out. His run in WCW was overshadowed by the fact that everything going on at that time, especially the Harlem Heat 2000 angle that he was directly involved with, really sucked.

I'm surprised I was able to think of these as fast as I did, but there was Al Snow at KOTR 98 when he was still fighting for his contract, and then Vince at the 99 Rumble. That's all I've got. The Snow thing is one that I can't remember, but yes, Vince without music at the beginning of the 99 Rumble, the immediate adoption of the PPV theme music as his own (which is going one a whole decade as of this month) is indeed one for the ages.

He should tag team with Imus Kid. "I'd buy that for a dollar."

Just watched the Rumble match itself. Here be some notes and shit. - Ross during Cactus Jack's entrance re: two people dressed up as Dude Love: "Too bad Dude Love can't be here tonight." - Was Chainsaw Charlie the last person to have an entrance at a WWE PPV w/o music? Maybe, but I can't remember. - Don't know if this was on 24/7, but, for some reason, Tom Brandi came out to the old Justin 'Hawk' Bradshaw theme. - That suplex that Charlie took on the two upright folding chairs was very cringe worthy. No wonder he retired four months earlier. - Foley, The Rock and Terry Funk being in the ring together just wasn't nearly as big of a deal at the time as it would have been a year or two later. - Jim Ross: "(Phineus Godwinn is) living proof of what happens when first cousins marry." - Man, Kurrgan was not a good "big man." At a time when McMahon seemed to have the most clarity he still saw dollar signs in this guy? - I forgot how much this company was about Sable. The fans too. I still don't get it. - Was Shamrock not the shit at this point? He had to have been in the top five, just behind HBK, Austin, Taker and Rock. Maybe even above The Rock. - TAFKA Goldust is always welcome to come back. Maybe not a draw, but one of the most timeless characters as far as my fandom is concerned. - NWA Champion Jarrett on a WWF Pay-Per-View. I can't even think of a good joke to justify this very real situation. - HHH fucking over Owen with the crutch was pretty heinous. Boo that man. - Jerry Lawler: "Ah, my cousin! I mean, the Honky Tonk Man!" - Is Austin the only rumble participant (failing that, winner) to enter through the crowd? - All Boricuas running down with Savio to take out Austin was a nice touch, since they run together. Hence, running down the aisle together. - Didn't realize it until it was pointed out earlier in this thread, but, yes, all five NOD member. Awesome. - So, of all thirty participants, Mark Henry and Goldust are the only two people who are currently under contract. And Henry is the only wrestler who has had a contiguous run with company, since this first aired live, having never gone without collecting a WWF/E paycheck since. - The tease at the end with The Rock landing on the apron was enough to concern the audience, which definitely came across. - Overall, an okay Rumble that accomplished everything that it wanted to, with Austin, Rock, Foley and Shamrock all looking really good. - Mike Tyson was pretty thrilled about Austin winning, so the swerve at WMXIV doesn't seem like a total surprise.

I missed most of it, but yeah, seems like the best part. That and David Wallace trying to give Michael the hint that he was to leave his office, shaking his hand and opening his office door.
