Elizabeth getting the keys to the handcuffs from Slick at Survivor Series 1988 Another great Ventura rant came during the entire Super Posedown at Royal Rumble 1989. Monsoon: Hands down winner right there. Ventura: SHUT UP Monsoon! Nobody's won nothin yet!

Couple ECW Questions: - At Heatwave 1999, what did Taz use that was so heinous to choke Tajiri out? The camera angle was very wide but it appeared that it was a piece of fencing from the entrance but that couldn't have been it . . . seeing as how whatever he used got the crowd to chant "Holy Shit!" - Just finished watching Guilty as Charged 2000. Did Mike Awesome really knock that girl's teeth out w/ a clothesline? They showed the clip and it looked like it could have been a blood capsule at first, but the promo w/ Spike and his girlfriend showed her looking like Bushwhacker Luke. Maybe she was wearing false teeth before. Either way, the clothesline was pretty brutal.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

I'd like to see London on Thursday cut a brief interview w/ Josh promoting his CW Title match for Velocity. Hell, they don't even have to mention the opponent is Nunzio (cause quite frankly not mentioning the opponent would probably be better than revealing it's Nunzio).

I'd love to see Dusty cut 3 minute promos on the state of wrestling much like Corny did in 97.

Haven't seen the Dragon/Austin match in forever. But I remember marking out for Steamboat's comeback as Austin kept on slapping he Dragon into a angrier and angrier rage before he snapped.

I like Richards so it's Boogie Woogie man's fault until proven otherwise.

Johnny Sinjer? Johnny Swangler? Has anyone ever heard of this guy? I sure haven't. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Disagree with this, actually. It's more the other way around. Hogan would have looked LOST if he was placed in a supporting cast like today's. His cartoon character gig would have been rejected in a sea of ultra-serious heels and good-cause-they're-bad faces. Hogan's style requires a supporting cast of wrestling garbage men, hockey players, geniuses, barbers, etc that look as goofy as he is. Austin got over by squashing a lot of these goofy characters and then going onto more serious ones. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is what it is though. Yeah, 1980s Hogan would look awkawrd in today's WWE environment, but Austin wouldn't have projected Vince's vision of an expansion in the mid 1980s by drinking beers and beating up refs. The Big Event drew in almost 70,000 fans for basically one match (Hogan/Orndorff). The rest of the card was utter junk, except for Dragon/Roberts. WMIII was built on if Hogan could actually defeat the "Undefeated" Andre the Giant. Yes, there were other matches, but that had to be 70% of the draw of the event. It drew at least 75,000. Austin would just not be the draw that he was w/o Vince and Rock to play off of for nearly 2 years. Hogan would be programmed against whomever wherever and still draw consistently big numbers.

Plus, Hogan's name itself drew gates (WMIII and The Big Event) while Austin needed much more of a supporting cast to draw.

Nick looks like a douchebag . . . he probably is one.

How do you think he got that PSP?

I take that back, Dominic did a great job there.

Dominic looks like a nervous wreck, not that I blame him.

It is SO fake looking that I really don't see how it is sickening to the stomach.

The "Would ya?" at the end was a nice touch.

The great part about that gag was that he started rattling off moves as they cut to commercial break . . . they come back and he's still in the ring already in the 700s. They shoot off the pyro to start the 2nd hour of Nitro and he's still listing moves like the Super Blizzard . . . and it was Prince Iaukea of all people to stop him.

That was my first thought when I saw this thread title. Johnny Singer? Swinger? You ever heard of this guy? I sure haven't. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I want my Loverboy tape back Lenny Lane!

We just had some pretty bad storms up in Cleveland last night. Fuckin' Kane!

Thank you thank you, I'll be here all week. Try the veal and tip generously.

I'm thinking of heading downtown to bail Kane out. If they really want to torture the guy, make him watch CC Sabathia pitch at Jacob's Field.

An Advisory Consultant?

IIRC, Snow felt hosed when Foley made a comment on a live Heat that Snow could never be a furniture salesman because he doesn't sell chairs. The following night, Snow does commentary and instead of putting over the angle he is in, he decided to use some painful putdowns on Foley. It was kinda tough to watch since none of the jokes were funny and the commentators were basically begging him to change the subject. Afterwards, Vince pretty much tears Snow a new asshole and their friendship suffered for a while . . . Foley's and Snow's, not Snow's and Vince's.
