John Studd is in both the WCW HOF and WWE HOF. There was controversy at Slamboree 95 as Gordon Solie legit did not believe Studd should be inducted because he was such a poor worker.

Steele is already in

There was a picture of Sherri as Peggy Sue blowing a bubble in one of the WWF magazines from 1988. As a young mark I didn't want to believe it was her, but I knew deep down it was. This was a point where I was slowly realizing wrestling was worked. In the following years when Ricky Steamboat came back as the Dragon and Iron Sheik as Col. Mustafa and their past identities weren't identified, I knew something was up for sure

I think this all boils down to the fact that Brock just doesn't really like or enjoy pro-wrestling. IMO, fans want the workers to feel the same passion they have for the business. People killed Goldberg for years for the same thing.

After reading all the posts I'm going to guess it's Val Venis and he's having an affair with either Maria or Christy. Val is a jobber, but he has tenure (7 full years with the company) and I think he would be comfortable with going in and talking directly to Vince

The Powers of Pain/Demolition double turn at Survivor Series 88. Crowd had no idea what was going on and sort of just gave up trying to figure anything out. Also have to add Brian Pillman's debut in ECW. The crowd popped huge for him and then when he started to call them "smart marks" and the like, they just died like that. It was the quietest I've ever heard the ECW arena. Just great stuff to start out a great year for ECW.

I actually liked Letterman as host in 95. He actually did something different and it was great IMO. I think the Academy wants someone to kiss everybody's ass like Billy Crystal or Whoopi Goldberg. I've never laughed at anything Whoopi Goldberg has ever done, NOT ONCE, yet she is somehow Hollywood "elite" Billy Crystal is funny when he's doing his real act, but modifies it for talk shows and the Oscars and comes off as a kiss ass.

Booker v Heidenreich at NWO? What great build!! -
Mets sign Todd Van Poppel to a minor league deal
-
well SD has Weds. through Sat. off while Raw has Tues to Sat. off. Since they barely have house shows on Friday anymore for Raw, maybe that's why.

Francessa is good, but he also is married to the "Clutch" theory in sports. But he's better than Russo
-
I wonder how H feels about Bradshaw outdrawing him in some PPV's and House Shows?
-
Mike Greenberg when he tries to talk about anything other than basketball, he sounds ridiculous and it makes the show really hard to listen to. I like Chris Russo, but he loses me when he's talks about "intangibles" Apparently Steve Nash is a great player because he has "intangibles" Tony Womack is a "Winning player" Stephon Marbury isn't great because he doesn't "make other players around him great" Rome when ever he goes on some moral tirade. Then he has the guy he was ripping on the show, and kisses his ass.
-
I don't think Shawn will ever move to SD. He's gone on record saying he prefers Raw because it allows him more time to be with his family. With the clout he has, I don't think he's going anywhere. I would love to see it though.

On WOL, he begrudgingly made a case for Backlund. I heard it. Dave for whatever reason doesn't like Backlund at all. His thesis for putting him in the HOF was "well, he's been around so long" "I didn't think he was great, but I changed my mind" He was almost making Backlund look bad by having sympathy for him rather than praising him for having legit credentials. Which is just as bad a burying someone, IMO, of course
-
This is true, unless your name is Bob Backland, who Dave still takes shots at today for some reason. This is a clear example where Dave made someone he didn't like look bad.

Bob Costas and Tony Kubek Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola Dick Endberg and Dan Dierdorff Sam Rosen and John Davidson Sean McDonough and Bob Montgomery I'm the biggest Mets fan in the world, but their announcers have pretty much sucked since day one. Gary Cohen and Howie Rose are very good on the radio, although Rose's lack of enthusiasm brings them down sometimes

looks like she's had those bad boys reduced since this movie came out.

That's what I was thinking CC, why so cryptic?, but it is Keller.

Mets sign Jose Rosado to a MLC as a gift to Carlos Beltran, who is best friends with Rosado. Here we go again with politics. Only a minor deal, but politics have hurt the Mets in the past, Joe McEwing anybody? Thanks Franco and Leiter for getting "Super" Joe an extension.
