So which Basham will Benoit lose to?

There were a few unification matches, not sure if anyone survived the invasion angle with both belts though. I'm thinking X-Pac held one title and Tajiri the other and we just, happily, forgot about X-Pac?

The Diesel / Yoko match was added to the CHV 'Confirmed Hits'. ...I've seen better

If Patterson was IC champ, that narrows it down to after September 79.

Bret doesn't have to do anything. Bret being Bret is good enough. Simply by appearing on camera he makes the WWE more 10 times more watchable.

Hughes was Triple H's bodyguard at that show. If the bodyguard was anyone famous, I'm guessing he was a jobber at the time.

Although I can't seem to find the date this match occured on, it would have had to have been between July 1979 and Zbyzsko's heel turn in February 1980. I have dates and partial match listings for the MSG shows during that time period but nothing more.

They used it for the NBA. I'm not sure how it would translate to wrestling but it has potential.

Bush - Chemicals Between Us Garbage - Push It Marc Cohen - Walking in Memphis ... Would be great for Lawler The Wallflowers - Heroes Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight Tonight ... that song has WrestleMania written all over it

I wonder if they're going to superimpose the date of 1986 for the Andre / Khan match to tie into the whole 17-years-ago timeframe ... even though the bout took place at least 5 years prior.

The WWWF World Title originated in 1963. Let's see what kind of revisionist history we get with the new DVD...

HartFan sent me an excellent copy of Clocks last week, better than the version that was posted on TSM. A few people downloaded it from me via Kazaa so you might try that if you're still looking for it.

I just stumbled across that episode on tape earlier today - forgot I had it. Very solid.

Albert is so bad that Crap just called and left a message on my machine, upset over all the comparisons it gets to Albert.

Another loss to Sean O'Haire or Johnny Stamboli might put that plan at risk.

Agreed. If Angle is returning as a face, the obvious feud for him is against Benjamin & Haas. How's this for a money match? Angle & Benoit vs. Benjamin & Haas for the tag titles.

When I heard "WrestleMania: The Movie" - I immediately thought theatrical release.

Well if they filmed it all that day or that weekend, I wouldn't expect to see a finished product for close to another year. Maybe just in time for WrestleMania XX.

No John Cena? I downloaded his rap since I missed it on Heat ... pure gold!

I certainly hope Smackdown has enough main event players by the time of WrestleMania that they don't have to rely on Angle / Lesnar #3.

Well they've included just about everyone else's renditions over the years. The only times I recall them not featuring it was when CHV would edit Mania for running time. 2 and 7 come to mind.

I would hardly call 2 losses as repeatedly jobbing. Brock / Angle seems too big for a non-big 5 PPV. If anything, I would save that for Summer Slam and put Brock against either a Benoit or Rhyno just prior to then. Personally, I think it's TOO soon to throw Angle back into the title picture after WrestleMania but - if he does get a title shot - Brock should go over.

I thought it was pretty good - never saw the Horsmen reforming, that caught me offguard. From my memory, I believe the feud came about when Flair was routinely sending Arn in to do the dirty work that Flair didn't want to do. This was most evident at the August 95 Clash of the Champions where Vader met both men in a handicap match, going over Anderson clean after Flair was too scared to make the save. I believe Arn also had words with Flair after a match with Alex Wright on Saturday Night, saying he killed the kid in 10 minutes at Slamboree but Flair could barely get by the rookie. I liked the fact Arn went over, as it was the only surprise of the night, but I could have done without Pillman's interference or Arn turning heel.

I have Uncensored 99 commercial master I'd be willing to part with for old PWIs or I could sell it to you. E-mail me if interested.

I have a few Nitros taped directly off TV myself. Might be willing to sell, not too interested in trading. 3/11/96 - Steiners surprise return ... Steiners vs. Road Warriors 5/96 - Memorial Day ... Scott Hall's debut 7/10/00 - day after BATB ... Steiner vs. Kanyon vs. Goldberg vs. Jarrett Might have more stashed somewhere.
