Doink lost to Bret at Summer Slam and took crap from Lawler on a King's Court shortly following the PPV. That pretty much did it right there. Was throwing the water on Bobby Heenan the official face turn or was that just a lead in to it?

HHH retains.

I wonder why they used a 1989ish pic of Hogan for WrestleMania I.

Mean Gene was great! If you want to talk about lapses of concentration, check out Lord Alfred Hayes. Ughhh.

Was Repo Man's Raw match vs. Randy Savage, Repo's last WWF match (other than WMX7)? Just had the chance to watch it and it was certainly a fun brawl. Repo taking Savage's hat is so bad it's great. Although, on Rampage 1992, Repo did try to repossess the WWF Title Belt against Savage. More goodness from my early 1990s idol.

Nah, I think people would be impressed that Savage, over the hill with bad knees, can still replicate a match done approx 17 years prior with a legend who hasn't wrestled in 10 years. Sure, people would bitch about old man Steele waddling down, but the old school marks would get a kick out of it. But I'll give you that copying a match is no way to earn bonus cookie points with many smarks. Hmmm . . . I guess you're right, It'd end up ***3/4. My bad.

Personally, I'd take #12.

Oh yeah . . . the one that sounded like Above Average Mike Sanders' original WCW theme.

With Dames as Al Snow.

The FINAL punch in Rocky V misses by a mile. Sad to think the last punch in one of the greatest series of all time (IMO, The Greatest) ends with a punch that clearly whiffs by 6-8 inches.

Major Leagues I and II: "So the Indians lose a heartbreaker 9 to nothin'. Postgame show brought to you by . . . Ah Christ, I can't find it, the hell with it!" "And the pitch . . . (crack) . . . Aw shit." "JJJUUUUSSSSTTTTT a bit outside!" Doyle: So the Indians lose 6 to 1 to the Rangers. For the Indians, one run on one hit . . . That's all we got!?! One Goddamn hit! Monte: You can't say Goddamn on the air. Doyle: Ah, nobody's listening anyway. Doyle: (completely hammered) So, Hiroshi "Kamikaze" Tanaka, recently with the Tokyo Giants. knocks himself out cold for the third time this week. Maybe in Japan that's actually better than catching the ball. Personally, I think he's just tryin' to get out of the lineup.

The Wall is a bitch. The rest of the game was pretty fun, IIRC. Try out the SNES version, it's a lot better. Sorry, I can't provide more insight, but this was all YEARS ago.

I saw little of ECW, but I liked "Intergalactic" for Nova and "Stayin' Alive" for the FBI.

If you're wasted enough, you won't even be able to tell the difference between Holly/Brock.

Actually, Nash won that. He was guarding the door, and when whomever from his team had the belt, I believe he handed it to Nash and he casually walked out of it. I really liked that match for whatever reason.

Random Fact: Bob Holly debuted at the 1994 Royal Rumble as Thurman "Sparky" Plugg. 10 years later, he's the #1 contender.

I thought he picked Philadelphia. Eh, I hardly remember.

How often does that happen? This isn't really a article. It happened in 1997 when Jake threw his snake into the ring and in 1999 when Austina nd Mcmahon both left the match and brawled to the back I think it was empty in 1993.

I went to one of these the Wednesday after WM XI. They did some Action Zone matches and then about three eps of Wresting Challenge. I remember they screwed up the finish of a 123 Kid match and did the SAME match again later on. After the tapings, they went ahead with the advertised dark matches. It was pretty cool because it was in the Lowell Auditorium in Lowell, MA. This was where they had Thursday Raw Thursday. I always thought it was a great wrestling venue. I wish they'd go back to places like this and the Manhattan Center because when you hold TV at large venues, it devalues the PPVs. Ramon won the belt in some one horse town in northern Quebec. It was probably just to give them something to get excited about. I think I remember that taping on television . . . well, actually I only remember seeing Dink/Wink vs. Cheezy/Sleazy on Action Zone and JR trying to call it and sound credible at the same time. Didin't help that Petingill was yelling at him the whole time. Plus, there was Bret/Razor vs. JJ/Hakushi as a CV Exclusive (Super Slams).

Hey Martz, ya haven't won anything yet . . . ya Doof!

Dammit!

All of the sudden, Butch Davis looks like a genius compared to this shmuck.

I think HBK used the superkick as a finisher as early as 1994 since he kept accidentally superkicking Diesel costing him a few matches in 1994, but I don't know if he used it as a formal finish at the time.

It's a matinee show.

They may have mised it once or twice, but Coach always made a point to say, "World Wrestling Federation".
