It's funny that I didn't even notice that when I was a kid. I remember telling kids at school how shiny his belt was in person. What really happened was there was a lot of glare from the lights on the belt and as a 10 year old in the upper deck, I didn't really see it that well.

Nitro's program description (and Michael Cole hyping a Hogan match at the end of the Raw portion) had me interested in this episode - Flair/Savage No DQ, Hogan in action, Rey/Malenko (I think that's what it said)... but then I saw it was a 3 hour episode and I didn't have time. Raw was ok but kind of dull, and it will be there for 3 weeks too so the wait for the Lightheavyweight Tournament continues to be a long one. Cornette's rant was really good, though. One thing that caught my attention during Raw (besides the constant Hogan bashing, which was great, and Rock's t-shirt with the giant "R" on it - did he think he was a member of Team Rocket? I'm too old to be able to make that reference...) was the mention of the Pillman angle during the HHH/Goldust match. I thought it was odd they would bring it up as in my memory, they just kind of swept the whole deal under the rug. Then they said next week, Marlena would discuss her time with Pillman. It dawned on me that this must be the angle that led to Goldust becoming Forever Unchained / TAFKA Goldust. That sounds awful, but I really don't remember it.

Well, they're not on 24/7 at the moment.

That's a borderline great moment.

He never did another Survivor Series after this one.

This show has a special place in my heart - I had only been watching wrestling for a few months but I went to the show with my cousin, uncle, and others. Good times.

I was going to do that too. It's an old joke, but it works.

Man, I almost gave in to an upper deck row 6 middle of the arena offer (I kept "No Deal"-ing off to the side lower bowl row 20s) but when I said "ok, last try" I ended up with row 6 floor seats. Great success.

I don't care for this presale preference of giving someone ordering one ticket better seats than someone ordering two. Although perseverance seems to be paying off - I finally got a lower bowl offer.

Yes. It's a 5 week month and the first Shortie batch was listed as lasting for 3 weeks.

Dig that giant Slammy on the set! We're already full into SNME angles, it sounds like. Hogan being an asshole as usual.

The Sports Machine. Does anyone own the rights to that?

By being awesome? Also most of the votes came from the kids at TSM's 24/7 table (maybe).

Painting Marvin was a pivotal moment in TSM History. Or maybe it was just fun. Either way, it was great.

That came up on google when I searched 'TSM Paint Marvin'.

Any chance that someone will be you? Also, I predict Grungy Punk is about to post about Ghettoman.

My original concept for this thread was actually a Graphics parody with a Chris Benoit tombstone, but I dropped the idea and went legit-ish.

Neat. And yes, there was a purging earlier this year, but we try not to talk about it. Feelings and such.

Who is he and who are you? By my math this should have happened no more than one week ago.

Whether the changes are good or bad, awesome or disastrous, I will likely make fun of people for being excited about BIGGER AVATARS~! until the end of time. Unless of course "bigger avatars" is code for "getting rid of Canadian ...", then yes, much needed (and should probably be explained as such).

He's a long time Observer subscriber and occasionally does "10 years ago in WON" columns.

Edit: Didn't bother to see HTQ already added the more detailed spoilers.

I'm set in my ways (merging spoilers with show threads, etc.) which means we need two threads. This will probably end up looking really odd when it's all said and done with this appearing BELOW a bunch of posts. Edit: Enigma now get's credit for posting these! That solved that "spoilers several posts down" problem.
