Judging from that pic, they may have to bring back the WrestleMania carts.

The short answer is that Page lost everything (the girl, the money, the precious Television Championship) including a Loser Leaves Town match to the Booty Man (remember that embarrassing shit?). He was brought back, with the aid of an anonymous benefactor and... then the storyline was dropped. The benefactor pointed out a loophole which said if DDP didn't win the TV Title at Uncensored, he'd be out of WCW. Well, his original oppponent and TV Champ Johnny B Badd left for the WWF so he was replaced by the Booty Man. DDP obviously had no chance of winning the title since Luger now had it so he was reinstated. And to pick a nit, it was 1996.

I got to go w/ Major League as well but that's probably has as much to do w/ my city of residence as it does the movie quality. I loved the entire Spring training sequence (that tune used was very catchy) and Harry Doyle is my hero. To this day, this exchange makes me grin . . . Tireword. Hello Lou, this is Charlie Donovan of the Cleveland Indians, how would you like to manage the Indians this year? (Groaning) Ah, I don't know. What do you mean you don't know? This is a chance to manage in the big leagues. Let me think it over, I got a guy on the other line about some whitewall, I'll talk to ya later *click*

Ric Flair - NO MORE HARDCORE!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeD9ptIqmsI

Yeah, I couldn't resist . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNwx_VbVcCc

Federation Years - Tossup between V and VIII. VIII was light years better but V holds a special charm to me. Trump Plaza was by far my favorite Mania venue despite the yuppie crowd. Eh, I'll go V since I saw a chunk of it fairly recently. Then again, maybe I should go w/ III. I feel like Bobby Heenan making a battle royal prediction. Attitude Years - X-7. Is there even a choice? XIV was alright, similiar to I in that they ushered in a new era of wrestling but the shows themselves aren't all that startling. I do think 13 (not sure if this Attitude era or not) gets a bit of a bum steer. Besides Austin/Hart, the streetfight was extremly entertaining, and Rocky helping Rocky was a fun moment. I also enjoyed the dynamic between DBS/Owen and Vader/Mankind. But yeah, X-7 is the III of the Attitude Era. Current - XXIII. The Benoit stuff ruined it just enough to bump XX out of any "favorite" categories. To be honest, the MiTB Manias just bleed together for me. Nothing stands out but I'll go w/ XXIII due to Ford Field and the fact that the ECW Originals scored the upset win of 07 by defeating the New Breed. Plus, I remember the wrestling being plenty solid.

If it brings back Norman Smiley's admiration of Glacier, I'm down.

Hill is the shits. It's like Rome faxed in his takes and had her read them for him. I happened to take a late lunch and was pleased that RiB would be on until that fatass robot showed up on my screen. Even The Forum sucked w/ her running it.

Eh, not really. Perfect was a step and a half slower at this point than he used to be. The match would have to be slowed to a crawl to make it decent. I was a big of a Perfect mark as the next smark but his 2002 run was pretty disappointing . . . outside the Royal Rumble entry.

Watching it on ppv, I HATED the opening ceremonies! I was dyin for the matches to get going and instead I had to sit through elephants, donkeys, and whatever the hell else ate up seemingly (at the time) a half hour. Of course now I've mellowed out to it.

Kudos for knowing people that would sit through an old ppv.

I've been looking for that segment everywhere and I must say this is actually a ton better w/o commentary (Referring to Rhino/Kash). Here is Edge vs Vader circa 1998: http://youtube.com/watch?v=c0xOePbejDk Shane McMahon's commentary reminds me of the host of Pros vs Joes.

Nice to see the Browns' backup QB approves of Jared's weight loss.

TV - SummerSlam 1991 - Didn't have cable but lucky for me, I met a kid my age at the YMCA who was as big a wrestling fan as I was AND his dad ordered all the ppvs and taped all the SNMEs. For about a 2 year stretch, I saw SumSlam91, RR92, WMVIII, and WMIX over there. Unfortunately, he turned kind of goofy that summer and I stopped hanging out with him. I've said it before about this show, but I loved how face-friendly it was. Heels only won the Disasters/Whackers and IRS/Valentine match. Every match w/ consequence was won by the babyfaces and it was glorious for someone like me that had a theory that the 3 major championships would be 2-1 on either the face or heel side to be proven wrong. In person - No Mercy 1999 - First ppv w/o Russo. What an awesome show live. Hardies/E&C in the TIT, we got to mark for the Bulldog, laugh at the Moolah/Ivory spectacle, and raise an eyebrow when JJ went over Chyna . . . temporarily. Fun times.

That heel announcer would be The Duke of Dorcester Pete Doherty.

Alright, finally a wrestler with the same birthday as me.

For the last few months, there's been about 9-10 hours each month. I realize that doesn't hold a candle to the VOD version but it's less than half the price in most areas. It's certainly not perfect, but definitely worth giving it a whirl for a month. Each month there are 6 decent sized specials (4 Raws, IC History, Hotbeds) and usually a very lengthy match or two (HBK/Cena, Royal Rumble, ect). EDIT - Saw the 6/21 Raw w/ Jannetty vs Doink. It was awesome that the 2nd Doink barely made the attempt to hide that it was Keirn. After getting Jannetty down, he busted out the Skinner cackle. EDIT II - Also saw the 6/28 Raw. I never realized how hard Crush was pushed as the one that might slam Yokozuna on 7/4. He was constantly cited as the top candidate that can do it. Then he defeated the '400 pound' Bastion Booger with three bodyslams to drive their point home. EDIT III - The 2001 Royal Rumble match was good fun for sure. Funny seeing after 10 minutes or so of the hardcore portion, Kane ending it in about a minute only for the Honky Tonk Man to come strutting out. Tazz getting punked out left a bad taste in my mouth but it was well booked overall. And yes, I marked for Kip James making the final 4. EDIT IV - Saw Austin/Big Show. On paper, it looked like Show was made to look really weak so soon after his debut. Not so. He manhandled Austin virtually the entire match. Austin then lit Show up w/ about a half dozen chair shots right in front of special referee Mankind. After pinning him after the stunner, Show popped up and started wailing away on Mankind. But boy o boy was Cole a tool back then. He still kind of is but nothing compared to 1999.

Haha Mr Fuji . . . what a shady fuck. I'll see your Berzerker party segment and raise you a Bushwhackers segment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCnkhnhqhNU Hey are we rolling? WE'VE BEEN ROLLING! You've gotta be kiddin . . . we've been rolling?!?

And act half surprised yet completely elated to see the camera there.

Don't forget, SAFETY FIRST LORD ALFRED!!!

I scanned through this really quick and I'm pretty sure these are all JIP: Shawn Michaels vs Owen Hart - IYH 2/96 WWE Championship - Steel Cage Barbed Wire - JBL vs Big Show - No Way Out 2005 Cruiserweight Championship Open - No Way Out 2007 WWE Championship - Brock Lesnar vs Eddie Guerrero - No Way Out 2004 Steel Cage - Steve Austin vs Mr McMahon - St Valentine's Day Massacure As an aside, these hot bed specials remind me of the ol 1 hour Coliseum Videos. Chopped up matches but unfortunately, no hokey CV exclusives.

I mean if they insisted to put one up, they could have at least put up this year's version. Other than that, always fun to get the 2 Raws and the 2001 Rumble as it's one of those matches I've subconciously wanted to see again but was never willing to dig through my tapes to find it and play it.

One of my all time favorite promos . . . seriously http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jxcNdwjm0U Dem bones, dem bones, dem big bones!!!

I'm sure you could but I don't know how. I actually find it better to have them streamed since they don't eat up hard drive space.
