I believe Bret has also mentioned that the Flair was having an inner ear problem when they did the title switch, unless it was in Flair's book. I know I read it in a book.

They actually have TWO WWE titles right now - one kept in pristine condition inside a suitcase used only on TV and PPV and one that the champ actually has possession of (and uses at house shows). This was a random note in the most recent Observer.

Thanks, Vanhalen.

Something I never managed to put 1 + 1 together on until reading Meltzer spell it out in a 1991 Observer, Savage's "wrestle with a shirt" era was a byproduct of the "get off the roids, everyone!" era. I think I always mentally remember Savage as wearing a top at Mania VII, but that was just part of his ring entrance attire.

"We're told this match is under Raven's Rules which is why they weren't just counted out by Billy Silverman". Tony, they were on the floor for like, 5 seconds.

From WWE.com: Jeff Hardy vs. The Big Show (non-title) Maryse vs. Michelle McCool - Divas Championship bout.

I also thought the same thing 909 did as he clearly says "I, Sgt. Slaughter", but after processing it I came up with the scenario Bigelow presents. It's still weird though.

The implication from Dave is the idea it happened at SummerSlam is pure kayfabe, not the injury itself.

I twice tried to watch this in 2006 and twice fell asleep - I don't think it had anything to do with the show, I was just tired both times. I'll try and give it another go before it expires Monday night. I still need to watch Holiday Hell too.

It's great man, load times sped up by up to 5%! Unless it's Halo 3, then it actually makes the load times longer. This is what I've read, anyway.

It seems to me (and I could be wrong because much like I do with the news, I often just read a headline - in this case, a thread title - and fill in the rest of the story myself) that we've recently had threads in that section about Mole having intercourse with skulls, Brody killing a man on video, a mom giving her son fellatio, and an instructional thread on rape.

I seem to recall long ago, someone posted a picture of a topless check with at a beach that caused an uproar. Someone was all "she looks like she's only 16 if that!" and others were saying "who cares, check out that rack!" (it was quite great). Good times.

I think I'm going to merge this with the "Merry Xmas" thread in General Discussion, if only because that thread (and by the time you read this post, I mean "this thread") has become a "Post your gifts!" thread. I approve of that. Edit: I don't have thread merging power in that realm so I thought I would just move every post there, but you have to leave at least one. This is the one I left.

A 6th row floor seat for the Royal Rumble, seasons 1 and 2 of 30 Rock, Dark Knight, the Eddie Viva La Raza set, the Colbert "I Am America (And So Can You)" desk calendar, various gift cards ($30 for Subway~!, plus a combined $40 for Blockbuster from my aunt and cousin which I suspect will be payment for the Edge DVD and part of the Starrcade DVD), a scratch lottery gift pack, a tin of Kisses, and a bit of cash that was promptly lost at my mom and I's 2nd Annual Christmas at the Casino outing. I knew most of that was coming as I hand picked it (and in the case of the Rumble ticket, was the person that was online dealing with Ticketmaster's seemingly random ticket assignment when trying to get an advanced ticket) but it's still fun unwrapping things on Christmas.

Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and Super Mario RPG are pretty great. Probably not the answer you wanted, but it's where a lot of my Wii time goes.

Happy Birthday Jesus. Sorry your party is so lame. I'm at work until 8am and then go back again at midnight, but I got some good family time out of Christmas Eve before work, will be going out for a bit tomorrow, and there's a family dinner on boxing day, so hooray.

Was Dustin supposed to be imitating his dad? It was hilarious. Warrior sounded like he had a cold during his promo. And oh yeah, a SHANE DOUGLAS promo!

Does it star Sandra Oh and Don McKellar?

I believe he was promoting Pauly Shore is Dead at the time. That bit of that I watched seemed ok.

I read Striker already made a negative comment about it on ECW last week.

I believe so.

Good Lord, this 12/24/90 Prime Time is full of awesome nostalgia from my era of wrestling. A Mountie vignette, Ted DiBiase buying off The Fink as a set-up to Mr. Perfect getting the IC title back, Royal Rumble updates~! (Andre was supposed to be in it!), etc. Heenan and Monsoon are at it right out of the gate too ("Where do I stick this?" "I'd like to tell you where you can stick it..."). Fun stuff all around for me even if most of the matches are squashes. Then they hype their 2.5 hour New Year's Eve special which has Shawn vs. DiBiase and Jannetty vs. Martel. I wish that was on too

Goldberg vs. Flair (which I believe is from 8/11/03, a rematch of 8/04) is awesome for two reasons: 1. Lawler and Ross pimping SLAMBALL~! Season 2 on Spike TV. 2. It's a "Goldberg comes out of a supply closet" entrance.

I believe Paulie Shore was the guest when I attended along with some band I can't remember.
