humanoid92

I like that idea a lot. I should have broken the idea down into two sections: 1) Matches that could have actually happened based on storylines, like the one you suggested 2) Pure fantasy matches that never would have occured because they didn't write storylines with the intention of building towards a triple threat match. A lot of the ones I originally suggested fall into category #2. For instance, there was no point when Bret, Owen, and Bulldog all didn't get along because Bulldog first sided with Bret during the Bret/Owen feud, before turning heel and teaming with Owen. The Savage/Steamboat/Flair match never could have happened either. By the time Savage was reinstated to face Jake, Steamboat was gone. So, if I had to come up with some matches that would fall into category #1: - Piper vs. Bret vs. Mountie, early '92 This one is pretty self explanatory for those familiar with the IC Title situation during this time period. - Hogan vs. Sid vs. Flair, post-Rumble '92 Could have been the match where Sid went full-blown heel - 1-2-3 Kid vs. Razor Ramon vs. Ted DiBiase, spring '93 Razor was still a heel for awhile after Kid upset him, but DiBiase mocked him for the loss. This could have helped contribute to a Razor face turn.

It's interesting that most of these matches are ladder/TLC matches, multi-man matches, tag team matches, or all of the above. While he definitely played a significant role, Edge is not necessarily what makes a lot of these matches great. That said, I'd add Edge vs. Storm from Summerslam, the 2001 KOTR finals (not a great match, but a major career achievement) and a couple more of the Edge vs. Christian matches, including their ladder match. I wish they'd handled that feud better. Anyway, I'd almost rather see an Edge & Christian DVD, though that's obviously not going to happen now. They had some really good matches that aren't on this list, including vs. the Hardyz from NWO 2000, vs. the Hardyz at Unforgiven 2000, a really solid 6man tag with Angle against Too Cool & Rikishi at Judgment Day 2000, and of course all the great skits and the Conquistador stuff.

Good point on Perfect/Savage. It's amazing how many feuds never happened between veterans from the late 80s/early 90s because they didn't burn through feuds so easily back then. I guess that'll happen when there aren't 50 PPVs per year. For instance, I don't think I ever saw Perfect wrestle against DiBiase once... of course they were both heels for most of their WWF runs and by the time Perfect finally turned face, DiBiase was in a tag team, but still. Bret/Jarrett is another one I would have liked to have seen. If Jarrett would have stuck around in '95 after dropping the IC Title, this would have been much better than Bret against the dentist and the pirate (though I do like the actual matches Bret had with Pierre). 1-2-3 Kid/Shawn Michaels is '93/94 is another. Those would have been sweet matches.

Perfect/Bret for the World Title during Bret's second or third reign would have ruled, but Perfect wasn't wrestling at that point because of his back. Savage/Bret never really feuded either. If the Screwjob never happened there could have been a bunch of interesting ones for Bret: Foley, HHH, Benoit, Jericho, Angle, etc. Same thing if Owen had never died. As was mentioned, Owen/Shawn in '98 definitely should have happened. There was so much they could have done with that. In the storylines, Owen/Shawn, Shawn/Austin, and Owen/Austin all hated each other. If they book Owen vs. Shawn for the Rumble instead of the Casket Match, maybe Shawn never screws up his back and who knows what chain of events that would have set off. Even if they had Owen come up just a bit short at the Rumble, and still put Austin over Shawn at Wrestlemania, the fallout would have been tremendous. Instead of all the Undertaker/Kane garbage with the Title, they could have used Owen instead. Imagine an Owen/Austin main event for Summerslam 1998. Owen, on a quest to regain the Title his brother never really lost, trying to do it against one of his biggest rivals, at MSG, where he had his first breakout win, not to mention at Summerslam, where he broke Austin's neck the year before. Of course, leading up to the event, Vince had already made it known that he didn't like Austin as champion, but he also doesn't want a Hart with the belt, considering Owen's motivation of doing it for Bret. So at Summerslam, Owen turns heel by aligning with Vince and becomes Vince's "corporate champion" (a la the Rock), as Vince screws Austin out of the Title. This makes Owen a mega-heel, as he aligns with the man that screwed his brother for his own benefit. Owen goes back into typical Owen mode, saying he was better than Bret all along and he really is the best there is, best there was and best there ever will be (this also fulfills his original goal from '94, winning KOTR, Tag Titles, IC Title, and World Title, just like Bret did). Of course, there's a lot of blurring between reality and storyline, but Bret would probably be okay with this since it would help Owen's career. Of course, then the Rock never becomes "Corporate Champion" but that's okay because he obviously would have gotten over no matter what. And if they really really had to, they could always do another Survivor Series "screwjob", this time with Owen as the victim against the Rock. Of course that would have murdered his heat and made him no longer hated or popular, but they probably wouldn't have cared. Either way, most importantly, Owen never gets turned into a comedy figure and never dies in the accident. Then we're only a few months away from the arrival of Jericho, Angle, Benoit, Guerrero, etc. and Owen, former Champion, feuds with them for a long time, really putting over the new guys in classic matches in the process. But anyway, that was always my greatest "feud that never happened but could have and should have": Owen vs. Shawn, followed by Owen eventualyl w/ Vince vs. Austin.

Jackal? Jackal? Is it jackal?

I have an idea for a match that takes some elements from other gimmick matches, like War Games, Tag Team Turmoil, Survivor Series matches, etc. This isn't a Fantasy Booking; it's an idea I think the WWE could use today, and I'm going to give examples to illustrate how it might work. There are two teams. Depending on how long the match is designed to go, there can be four people per team, five people per team, eight people per team; whatever. A member of Team A starts out against a member of Team B. They have a straight-up wrestling match. When one of the participants loses, someone else from his team replaces him and begins a new match with the victor of the previous match (who, depending on how the first match went, may or may not be very fatigued). There *could* be a random Royal Rumble type-drawing to determine the order of participants for each team, but I would MUCH rather allow the teams to decide the order in which they are used as the match progresses. This way, they can use strategy based on matchups. For instance, if one team has Kane, and he squashes two or three opponents in a row (think Diesel at Survivor Series '94), the other team can counter with the Undertaker to stop the bleeding, rather than saving Taker for last as they may have originally planned. This way there's a lot of strategy involved; almost like the way baseball managers juggle their pitching staffs in the playoffs. Here's a sample match (with a certain timeless quality) to demonstrate how such an idea would work: Team A: Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Jim Neidhart, British Bulldog & Dynamite Kid Team B: Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall & Sean Waltman Match #1: Dynamite Kid vs. HHH. Both would be sensible choices for "lead-off" men. You want to start strong, and put someone that has a chance of lasting awhile out there, without burning up your "closers" (Bret or Shawn) right off the bat. HHH goes over after a 20 minute battle... so now the Harts counter with Owen for Match #2. Match #2: Owen Hart vs. HHH. HHH has already wrestled a 20+ minute match, so as well-conditioned as HHH is, a fresh Owen should be able to wear him down eventually, which is exactly what happens in about 15-18 minutes. The Kliq decide to put Waltman in there next, as he's even quicker than Owen. Match #3: Owen Hart vs. Sean Waltman. Fast-paced match sees Waltman take a lot of high risks, the last of which backfires, resulting in another win for Owen at the 10-12 minute mark. Now the Kliq is down a man, so they send out their big guy to turn things around. Match #4: Owen Hart vs. Kevin Nash. Owen doesn't have much hope against a fresh Nash, and Nash gets him with the powerbomb after about 6-8 minutes. The Harts counter with their powerhouse, the Anvil. Match #5: Jim Neidhart vs. Kevin Nash. Good but short power match ends badly for Neidhart, who gets powerbombed and pinned after 4-5 minutes. Match #6: British Bulldog vs. Kevin Nash. Another power-based match sees a screwy finish, as Nash gets disqualified after 12 minutes. Nash, however, lays Bulldog out with a powerbomb after the match. The Kliq sends out Razor, as they don't need Shawn just yet, hoping Hall can finish things up on his own. Match #7: British Bulldog vs. Scott Hall. Bulldog is out of it from the powerbomb, but Razor can't put him away. Bulldog has a few hope spots, but when Razor counters the Powerslam, Bulldog is done at the 9 minute mark. Match #8: Bret Hart vs. Scott Hall. Bret is the last hope for his team- if and when he is defeated, the Kliq wins. Bret is able to beat Hall at the 14 minute mark. Match #9: Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels. It comes down to the captains, and Shawn obviously has a slight advantage. This one can end up going 30 minutes or so, as both are relatively fresh... I'll let your own preference decide the winner. I'm a Bret guy, myself. The way this match is set up, it can last around two hours (not that every match like this would have to go so long), but because of all the different matchups, the strategies being used, and the booking options, I think this type of match could work. Of course, you'd need the right workers (the best workers) and the right storyline. For those concerned about the flow of a two hour match, I would argue that the Royal Rumble lasts for over an hour and no one complains about it being too long. Granted, there are a lot more participants in the Rumble, but I think the overall storyline of this match and the revolving participants would hold the attention of fans. If need be, there could be brief intermissions every couple of matches, which would allow the team members in the locker room to be interviewed about how the match is dictating their strategy. As far as using this match to fit into a storyline, something like this could have been used to end the Invasion angle. They could have had a special PPV that was composed entirely of a match like this. Put the top eight WWF guys and the top eight Alliance guys on separate teams and have the winner take all. This could also work in the future if they decide to end the Brand Extension. Eight guys for Raw, and eight guys for Smackdown, on a special PPV, where this is the only match. HBK, HHH, Angle, Flair, Cena, Kane, Big Show & Edge vs. Undertaker, Benoit, Batista, JBL, Orton, Mysterio, Booker & Matt Hardy. It could work. (Of course guys like Eddie, Jericho, and Christian would have added a LOT to a match like this.) And just because there are sixteen guys doesn't mean everyone would have to be used. In my above scenario, it was kind of predictable that it would come down to Bret and Shawn in the end. But it should be made clear before the match that not everyone on the winning team has to participate in order for the match to end. In theory, if Kurt Angle starts the match, and somehow ends up beating all eight Smackdown opponents, one after the other, he could win the match for his team by himself, without anyone else from Raw ever having to enter. That would be an extreme example, but the announcers should put over the possibility. In the Raw/Smackdown match, maybe one of the storylines would be that the Raw team still doesn't trust Edge very much because he has stated that he doesn't care about the show. This could affect their strategy to the point where they keep passing him over and never use him. Maybe JBL ends up as the last remaining Smackdown member, and he's in the ring with HHH. Edge is still left for Raw. The cynical fan would expect JBL to win so that it comes down to a 1 on 1 match with nobody left in the locker room for either side (in the same way that a best of seven series in wrestling would always come down to a seventh match instead of ending after five). But it doesn't have to be booked that way. HHH could pin JBL to win it for Raw, without Edge ever getting in the match. That "realistic" aspect adds to the unpredictability of the scenario. The match has to be unpredictable in order for it to work. There are lots of booking ideas that can be used to do this. Match lengths should vary (like the way a good writer will vary sentence structure) so that by the later stages of the night, nobody has any idea when any given match will end. Maybe the first match is 20 minutes, and the next few are only five. Maybe two guys you wouldn't expect randomly go 30 minutes in the middle of it. Maybe somebody plays iron man and pulls off three or four hard earned wins in a row. Maybe someboy squashes three or four guys in a row. Maybe the winning team doesn't end up using everybody. Maybe there are DQ's and countouts. Maybe there's a double DQ in the middle of the match, and each team has to send out two fresh guys to effectively restart the match. There are lots of possibilities. So, is this a good idea or a terrible one? Is it something the WWE could realistically try to pull off? Or is it best left for fantasy scenarios, where the world class workers of the world like Bret, Steamboat, Flair, Michaels, Owen, Benoit, Eddie, Malenko, Jericho, Hennig, Savage, etc. would be the only one's capable of actually being able to carry it out?

It sounds pretty awesome. I can understand the 15 minute time limit to give things a sense of urgency, but I'm with you- it would be cool for one or two of them to go 30 minutes or so. Have they ever done a tag team series like the one I described in my second post?

Yikes... I actually had no idea. I've followed wrestling for fifteen years, but I've never gotten into the Japan scene. How many competitors does each team typically use in these matches? And about how long do they go? Have there been scenarios in these matches where some of the members from the winning team never made it into the match? I agree that without factions they are useless. "My" idea partially came about because I was thinking about how to end the Raw/Smackdown split.

Granted, my explanation may have been long-winded, but I just wanted to try to cover all the angles for the sake of completeness. If you put it all down on paper, the explanations for the Elimination Chamber or Royal Rumble or tag team turmoil are probably pretty long. I don't think my idea would be that complicated to explain to audiences. It's actually very straight-forward. I'm just curious about people's opinion on the actual idea. Can a match like that work?

That's basically what this is. There are no cages or chambers or cells or ladders or tables. These are straight-up wrestling matches. They just happen to be in the context of a "series" or team format.

I've also thought of a similar scenario that would consist of a series of tag team matches instead of one-on-one matches. Whomever is pinned, submits, disqualified, or counted out is eliminated from the match, but his partner remains, and a new team member replaces the loser. For example, using the same teams from before, we have: Bret, Owen, Anvil, Bulldog & Dynamite vs. Shawn, HHH, Nash, Hall & Waltman Match #1: Dynamite & Davey Boy vs. Shawn & Waltman Result: Davey Boy gets pinned and is eliminated. He's replaced by Owen. Match #2: Dynamite & Owen vs. Shawn & Waltman Result: Waltman gets eliminated. He's replaced by Nash. Match #3: Dynamite & Owen vs. Shawn & Nash Result: Dynamite gets eliminated. He's replaced by Neidhart. Match #4: Owen & Anvil vs. Shawn & Nash Result: Nash powerbombs the crap out of Neidhart and eliminates him. Anvil is replaced by the last remaining member, Bret. Meanwhile, the Kliq still has Hall and HHH in the locker room. Match #5: Owen & Bret vs. Shawn & Nash Result: Nash gets counted out. He's replaced by Hall. Match #6: Owen & Bret vs. Shawn & Razor Result: Razor submits to the Sharpshooter. He's replaced by the final member of the match, HHH. Match #7: Owen & Bret vs. Shawn & HHH Result: Make up your own... I put Owen over HHH. You get the point. A tag team match might be better suited for this format. It makes it more unpredictable. There's a 25% chance you can tell who's getting beat here, as opposed to a 50% chance in the one-on-one format. Also, it makes it possible for one guy (in the above scenario, Shawn) to stick around for the entire match, which would be a pretty exciting in-match storyline. And I think it's kind of neat that in each match there's only one new participant, but over time it evolves, and before you know it, it's a completely different tag match. Plus, the tag format might be easier on the workers; the guys that have been in there for awhile can take breathers and get their heads together. What do you think about this scenario? Better or worse than the other one?

I've never understood this argument. In the context of a wrestling match, working over a body part is a smart strategy for a wrestler to use, but it doesn't mean it should always work. To me, if every match featuring somebody working the knee ended with a submission to the Figure Four, that would make things less "realistic". Sometimes things happen out of nowhere. Just because there is a specific body part that is targeted doesn't mean that should become the ONLY way to win. Roll up finishes aren't always cheap. In some cases, they fit perfectly for a match. It shows that the match can end at any time. Bret/Owen, Bret/Bulldog, and Savage/Steamboat are a few classic matches that all ended with various pinning combinations instead of a dangerous finishing move. I think they're all ***** I like it when pinning combinations and transition or set up moves score pinfalls because it makes following matches more dramatic. That's what started to turn me off about wrestling in the late 90's. All of a sudden, the big finishing move and/or intereference were the only way matches would end. Where's the suspense in that?

I found a random DVD at Suncoast the other day called "The Best of the Intercontinental Championship". I don't remember this DVD being released or advertised at all. The cover is simply a picture of the old IC Title (the best belt ever). I was intrigued- I had to get it. There's no main feature or anything- just 5 IC Title matches from 1992 and 1993. I love '92 and '93 and four of the five are rare matches that I don't have so it's cool seeing "new" matches from that time period. The matches are: Shawn Michaels vs. Crush (Sheffield, England: 4/11/93) Bret Hart vs. Skinner (Prime Time: 8/24/92) Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty (Raw: 7/19/93) Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect (Summerslam: 8/30/93) Shawn Michaels vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan (Raw: 5/3/93) And that's it. One semi-notable PPV match and four random matches. Four Shawn matches, and one Bret match. Just seems like a very strange match selection. Why did they even bother making this DVD in the first place? And if you're gonna have Shawn in every match but one, why not just make it a "Shawn as IC Champion" DVD? What's the point? So far I've only watched the first three matches. JR, Savage, and Heenan do dubbed over commentary. Michaels/Crush was pretty good, but Shawn takes the countout to save his Title in a lame finish. Went about 9 minutes. Shawn busts out a DDT and Crush does a Bulldog-style delayed suplex. Pretty cool. Bret/Skinner goes about 6 minutes with Skinner on offense almost the whole time. Match consisted of punches and an abdominal stretch. Not one of Bret's best. Though he does win with the "counter a leg drop to the groin into the Sharpshooter" trick, which I've always liked. I actually had higher hopes for this one since I like their Tuesday In Texas match. Michaels/Jannetty is amazing, though if this is the match that everyone calls ***** it's not. Still, a really fast paced match with a false finish and a lot of offense from Marty. He controls maybe 80% of the match. It's weird- Gorilla and JR do dubbed-over commentary even though Vince, Savage, and Heenan are visible at ringside, and in fact play an important role in the match (when Hebner gave Marty a three count, Heenan called him over to watch the replay on a monitor- Hebner saw that Shawn had his foot on the ropes and the match continued). They didn't show the action from the commercial breaks (which is probably mostly restholds anyway) and just clip the match instead. Haven't gotten to the last two but I've seen the Summerslam match a million times and I vaguely remember Shawn/Duggan. Just a strange DVD- I never knew it existed and now that I have it, I'm still not really sure why it does.

Ah, WCW didn't even cross my mind for some reason. I was just trying to think of WWF matches. I do remember Steiners/Bodies being awesome but not really MOTY caliber. HBK/Perfect was disappointing. I'm a big mark for WWF 1993 because it's around when I first started watching. In my opinion, there's tons of quality stuff from the WWF that year, but it lacks a real blowaway match, which '92 and '94 each had a few of. By the way, Cawthon, I'm a big fan of the site.

Yeah, the July match is the one on the DVD. Diesel does help Shawn win- Marty takes one high risk too many and ends up diving over the top rope to the floor. Diesel throws him back in and Shawn pins him. I still don't think it approaches ***** but it was really good. Though I could see how it was a MOTY candidate. The only serious competition I could think of off the top of my head would be Bret/Perfect from KOTR.

Bret and Shawn kind of had an underlying competition throughout 1992. Even though they never really feuded, it was clear that HBK was pretty much groomed for the IC Title as soon as he started his singles career, and Bret happened to be the IC Champ during that time (WM-Summerslam). In fact, at WM 8, I *think* the announcers may have casually mentioned that Shawn Michaels had issued a challenge to the winner of the IC Title Match. In the time between WM 8 and Summerslam 92, I'm pretty sure they faced each other a bunch of times, including the quasi-famous first WWF ladder match. Bret/Bulldog was slated for Summerslam for obvious reasons, but it was only going to be a matter of time before Shawn got the Title. As was mentioned, the original Survivor Series match was made before either held a Title. During the first few weeks of Bret's reign, they really played it up that he was a defending champion and would accept any challenge. In those first few weeks, he beat Papa Shango, Virgil, The Mountie, etc. Shawn had no problem challenging for the Title without putting his own gold on the line. He had "everything to gain and nothing to lose." Make no mistake about it though- regardless of Titles or placement on the card, the main event was Flair & Razor vs. Savage & Perfect. I miss the kind of subtle booking that would result in things like that Bret/Shawn match. There used to be a lot more of that. Now they just rely on Wrestler A feuds with Wrestler B for three months and then it's blown off. They should be able to do so much more than that though.

I was bored and started sifting through all the old WWE PPV Results and found some interesting tidbits that I thought I'd share on the off-chance anyone else finds this stuff the slightest bit informative. Add to the list with your own stats and tidbits and let's see what we can come up with. Here's what I've found: PPV CLOSERS: From Royal Rumble 1998 (Undertaker/HBK) until No Way Out 2003 (Rock/Hogan), the final match of each PPV card contained one or more of the following: HHH, Austin, Rock, Undertaker. That's it. Over 5+ years, and a whopping 62 consecutive PPVs, the final match contained one or more of those four guys, without exception (for Royal Rumble matches I counted only the final two guys in the ring). That may not seem too surprising since it's no revelation they were all on top for so long, but consider that all of them missed significant time during that stretch (be it for injuries or movie careers). A lot of other guys were involved in the main event scene during this era: Foley, Angle, Kane, Benoit, Jericho, Big Show, Brock, Booker, RVD, HBK, etc. Now we did get a few different Title matches during that time: Boss Man/Big Show, Brock/Big Show, Benoit/Angle. But they never closed the show. You'd think just ONCE in five years, we would have seen Kane/Angle or Jericho/Benoit, or Brock/Show end a show; something different. But no. Just the big four. The streak didn't end until Wrestlemania XIX, which ended with Brock/Angle. If you expanded the group to include Shawn Michaels, the streak goes all the way back to Royal Rumble 1997. If you then expand it to include Bret Hart, it goes all the way back to Survivor Series 1995. Throw in Kevin Nash, and it goes back to the first In Your House. So, which aspect of the streak sounds more impressive? One of 7 guys finishing every PPV from May 1995-February 2003 (95 PPVs) One of 6 guys finishing every PPV from November 1995-February 2003 (88 PPVs) One of 5 guys finishing every PPV from January 1997-February 2003 (74 PPVs) One of 4 guys finishing every PPV from January 1998-February 2003 (62 PPVs) Austin has the longest consecutive streak of closing PPVs, with 9 (Rock Bottom 1998-Summerslam 1999). HHH also has a streak of 9 from Bad Blood 2003-Vengeance 2004 if you discount Smackdown-only PPVs AND the Rumble match. Total number of PPV final matches: Undertaker: 38 HHH: 35 Austin: 34 Michaels: 26 Rock: 23 Hogan: 21 Bret: 16 A note on Hogan and The Undertaker: They've never wrestled in an opening match on PPV. Not once. All those other guys on that list have done it multiple times. Taker has been in the second match a few times (Survivor Series 1996, Royal Rumble 1995, Wrestlemania VIII, Survivor Series 1990, etc) but not the first. I haven't done the numbers for everybody, but Taker has got to have the record for most total PPVs without appearing in an opener... which brings us to.... PPV OPENERS: Bubba Ray Dudley has been in the most PPV Openers with 19. Other notables include: D'Von (16), Christian (14), Edge (12), Waltman (11), Owen (10), Bulldog (10), Bradshaw (10), Godfather (10) HHH (1997) and Lance Storm (2001) have both opened 4 consecutive PPVs, which is the record. Shawn Michaels has the largest gap between PPV Openers. He opened Survivor Series 1994, and didn't open another one until Royal Rumble 2005. That's 10 years, 2 months, and 123 PPVs in between. Big Boss Man went from Survivor Series 1989 until Royal Rumble 1999, which is 9 years and 2 months, and spanned 69 PPVs. PPVs BY LOCATION: 33 states as well as Washington D.C. have held WWE PPVs. The 17 states that haven't are: Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming Oklahoma is soon to come off that list. PPVs per state: New York: 18 California: 17 Pennsylvania: 12 Ohio: 10 Texas: 9 Florida: 8 Illinois: 7 New Jersey: 6 Michigan: 6 Massachusetts: 6 North Carolina: 6 Missouri: 5 Connecticut: 4 Tennessee: 4 Wisconsin: 4 Rhode Island: 3 Nevada: 3 Kentucky: 3 Maryland: 3 Washington DC: 2 Indiana: 2 Virginia: 2 Minnesota: 2 Georgia: 2 Nebraska, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Washington, Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, and New Hampshire all have one. Canada has held 11, Puerto Rico had 1 (New Year's Revolution), and England had 1 (Summerslam 1992). England has also had 9 UK-only PPVs. What other quirky PPV stats are there?

Thanks for the help guys. I kind of figured it wasn't available in the States, yet I remembered them hyping it on TV so much that I was confused. I didn't know that it ended up being shown in Canada too; that's interesting.

Was the One Night Only PPV available only in England, along the lines of the British-only PPVs that followed, such as Mayhem In Manchester, Rebellion, Insurrection, etc.? Or was it available in the States, like a normal In Your House-type PPV would be? Just curious. Thanks for the help.

Counting Crows- Anna Begins The Killers- Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine Fountains of Wayne- Stacy's Mom I guess it doesn't count but Maroon 5's album is called "Songs About Jane."

I think there's a Facts of Life episode where Tudy befriends some girl, only to find out she's a hooker. Also, there's an episode of the Cosby Show where Vanessa gets drunk. I'm not sure if that qualifies... the end is hilarious, as Cliff and Claire make her "drink" with them, and trick her into thinking they're making Rudy drink.

I actually find it to be the opposite. Since a lot of the jokes are completely random I can watch every episode over and over again since I can never remember which gags are in which episodes. And I think Stewie and Brian are the two best characters.
