  1. Anti-Hogan Heenan was great in WCW from 94-96, but after the turn, he seemed a little lost, IMO.

     

    Heenan still hated Hogan after the formation of the nWo.

    Yeah, but it lost all of its appeal when everybody else was supposed to hate him as well. Also, WCW seemed to take a more serious turn around this time, and what was funny before really didn't fit in with what they were trying to present, thus my saying he seemed lost.

     

    Well, not surprising that they took a more serious turn, considering the nWo was trying to destroy WCW.

     

    When Heenan sucked up to Eric Bischoff on nWo Monday Nitro, that was classic Heenan. Then he came back the next week, apologized, and then acted like nothing happened. I thought that was great! That was totally something "The Brain" would do.

     

    Heenan casually taking his seat at the confusion of the other announcers was awesome. *pointing to the camera* "Roll it!"


  2. Ep 18 of Challenge was actually a Prime Time-style 1986 year in review show. Why they couldn't air it, I don't know, but whatever. A charming thing about these six-man matches on Challenge is that they'll have three stars vs two stars and a shlub (Spot and SD Jones representing the ceiling-staring role).

     

    W/ Bastion Booger co-hosting Raw, I'm surprised they didn't drop a "Make sure you pick this Raw" line.

     

    IIRC, that MSG show has the epic Haku/Barbarian vs Kato/Fuji battle. It's really sad if that MSG show was really unanimously chosen. I guess they got both of my votes and it won 2 to zero to zero to zero.

     

    EDIT - Updated the master list on Page 6.

     

    They dubbed out the theme for the 4/91 SNME and dubbed in Nickelback's cover of Elton John's Saturday Night song. For as much as I hate Nickelback, the tune actually works. I'm much surprised it was actually cheaper to use that theme over the original theme they were using for the 1988-91 eps. Personally, I'd have gone with Def Leppard's Saturday Night High & Dry.

     

    And I'll give you one big guess who got booked for the 12/21 ep of Challenge.


  3. I wish someone took notes on how to roast from Lowell Mather on Wings . . .

     

    The Iron Sheik . . . is BAD

    Have you ever seen the Iron Sheik wrestle . . . he's BAD

    And that camel clutch he does . . . it's BAD

    And the time he said he'd fuck B Brian Blair's ass . . . that was BAD

  5. Yeah, it's a roast but at the same time the comedian has to know his audience. Personally, I'm not offended by that joke, but he has to know that the fellow wrestlers could and would be pissed off.

     

    It'd be like telling a joke about a construction worker who fell off a beam and killed himself in front of a bunch of people who either worked or work for the same company.


  6. I remember that facelock was on YouTube. I love how Monsoon/Graham had the balls to promote future live events during it. The strange thing is that if you take about 7 minutes out of that facelock, the match was actually a lot of fun.

     

    It was also odd to see a lot of short matches (Snuka/Afa, Rocky/Sika, & even Bellomo/Sharpe).

     

     


  7. They got a head start by hacking out Brock's section. But yeah, they've done a good job so far cleaning up their sections. One thing I'd like to see would be upgrading one 300k video to 750k each day.

     

    They did restore Bock/Hennig's ESPN match in the AWA section.
