I'll take HHH for $1,000

I do wish they would have let Lenny Lane run with his "Ab Solution" gimmick he used on Saturday Night.

It never seemed like Norman Smiley was given a fair shake in WCW. The crowds went nuts for him, but WCW figured he was just a comedy guy and muddled him with Jerry Flynn, Barbarian, ect.

Garvin got the belt because he was the only one that would take it. Flair wanted to drop the belt to somebody, so he could win it back at Starrcade that year and boost hype for the show. Everyone knew it would be a token reign and didn't want to do it. Garvin realized that this was close as he would ever get to being a main eventer and knew he could cost on the brief title reign for the rest of his career. After Garvin did win, no one would put him over and he never defended the belt until he dropped it back to Flair. It was nice of Flair over the years to include Garvin's name whenever he would cite former World Champions. Usually, it'd go something like: "Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Ron Garvin, Sting, Luger, WOOOOOOOO!!! We were all World Champions!!!"

Where are the damn yellow polka dots?

I feel the same way.

I believe it was exactly the same as the Tues in Texas match with the the urn ashes going in UT's eyes and Hogan getting a rollup. I know it ended on a rollup. The highlight though was seeing UT make his way to the ring and a fan tips UT's hat almost off his head causing him to glare at the fan who is far out of reach though.

How about when a heel takes advantage of a face's mistake. "Clever maneuver on the part of . . ."

The one thing I agree with that review is that they should have name dropped Vince Russo as someone who helped them direct edgier storylines that helped them get the ratings lead. But other than that, I just skimmed through the review since it read like someone gave this guy an assignment to argue against the dvd while the rest of the IWC argues for it.

No, back then what Jericho was saying was complete and utter bullshit. Taht was why it was funny. I'd say you were missing the point Frigid. Exactly. He was out of touch with what was going on. Raw's ratings were plenty high while Nitro's were quite on the low end of the pole. That's the genius of it.

That bothered the hell out of me too. In a tournament environment, here was the WWF's best chance at a face/face or heel/heel matchup and they passed on it. Damn shame, would've been a helluva match. I guess the WWF would tell you they avoided the match because it would've split the audience and made Savage look less MEGA-FACEish . . . I guess.

I didn't mind the whole Dragon gimmick as much as they NEVER intentionally referred to him as Ricky Steamboat former IC Champion. Even back then, it bothered me so friggin much! Did Steamboat really mind the fire breathing after he got the hang of it? Personally, I thought it was pretty cool. Plus, he continued it until the end of his career in 1994 in WCW. If he hated it so much, why didn't he just tell whoever in charge of WCW that he wouldn't breathe the fire anymore?

He pinned Stan Hansen in Japan with the clothesline and Dr D David Schultz as well.

At SummerSlam 1994, Savage comes to ringside and lets Vince know he's got to do "The Thing in the Ring!!!" Vince quips, "YES! MACHO MAN TO DO DA TING UH DUH TING!!!" My favorite one came on Best of WWF Volume 15. Bam Bam just pinned Bundy with a fairly quick count as this exchange occured: Jesse: I dispute that. That was a fast count. Vince: YES YES YES!!! Oliver Humperdink's man is victorious! Go get em Bam Bam!!! Jesse: That was a quick count! Vince: That was not a quick count! (Slo mo airs) Jesse: I told oyu that was a fast count!!! Vince: NO, That's a SLOW count! Jesse: That's slow motion, you idiot! Bruno: (laughs)

I don't believe Judgment Day 2002 was ever released on VHS.

Something that's getting overlooked is that's one helluva catchy song.

How hard is it to let him give a speech towards the end of the program for however long he wants? Later on, if Benoit wins the Title (I know, fat chance), let Benoit enjoy his moment and then have Hart walk in, give him a hug, and raise his hand as we fade to black. But, I know they'll just have to get cute with it and make sure no one other than VKM/HHH/HBK enjoys it.

I think you might be right. I remember them showing Bret-Bulldog on Raw one week and the HHH-Godwinn hogpen match the next. I think they also showed UT/Mabel on SuperStars.

Gotcha . . . Thanks.

How did Noble and Tajiri split several months ago? For the life of me, I can't remember. Was Noble jealous of Tajiri's lust of Nidia? Just asking because I've got Noble saying "TY-JIRI" stuck in my head.

Instant classic! Anyone notice Lesnar announced as leader of the F-Cincos?

I'm kinda disappointed Spring Stampede 1998 was never released on VHS. Being a pretty big Savage mark, it'd been nice to have the event when he surprisingly won the WCW Title. Plus, Jericho was in the middle of all his heel glory being challenged by the way too heavy Prince Iaukea. Also, Raven takes down DDP for the US Title. Finally, I believe it's the only ppv where Psychosis scores a victory.

He pinned him on Nitro in early 1996 with the help of either Woman's or Elizabeth's shoe. For the next 2 weeks, AA would get wins over the Hulkster.

It couldn't have been either. The neck injury happened at Fall Brawl, the muctache angle was before WW3 and Hogan wrestled at that PPV (last guy with Savage). So it had to be him off doing what he calls a 'movie.' Actually, after checking out Starrcade 1995 again, Schiavone said Hogan hit a ref with a chair. But Hogan was probably working on Thunder in Paradise 12.
