Guest DerangedHermit Report post Posted January 5, 2003 I have this (and another IYH with main-event: Diesel-Bulldog) on one tape, and I'm just wondering about a few things: 1) What was the Free-for-All? Is it like how Heat is now? 2) Who the hell was that guy with Goldust and Marlena in the Dust-Woyah match? 3) Why was Vince so annoying at commentary?

Guest MillenniumMan831 Report post Posted January 5, 2003 1. The Free-for-All was a 30 minute show on the Preview Channel. It lasted from Jan 1996 until Jul 1998 when ppvs started at 8pm and Heat took over the pre-ppv duties. 2. Never actually saw the ppv, but that was probably just the usher. He was just a messenger guy to basically enhance the Goldust character. 3. So you think "One-Two-And Three He Got Him . . . Oh Wait the Referee is saying just a 2-count! UnbEEEEEElievable ACCCTTTIIIIOOONNN!!!!" is annoying. So did everyone else. Can't effectively answer your question though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RedJed Report post Posted January 5, 2003 2) Who the hell was that guy with Goldust and Marlena in the Dust-Woyah match? That was Bruiser Mastino (sp?) who played Mantaur a little while before that short stint with Goldust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2003 Vince wasn't all bad. Who could forget him saying BAAAAAAAAAACK BODY DROP! That's the way it should be said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted January 5, 2003 I was a mark for when Vince would announce the Royal Rumble participants before the show would start back in the day. HAAAAKUUUUUUUUU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BAR Report post Posted January 5, 2003 I didn't think Vince was too bad until he called an inverted atomic drop a 'reverse pildrive' at Survivor Series 1996. I remember a really funny moment when Lawler and Vince were on commemtary, I believe it was IYH5. Lawler asked Vince during the Bret/DBS "Do you know who defeated Bret at SummerSlam '92?" Vince answered something like "Who was it?" Lawler then forced him to guess and Vince blurted out something like "MR PERFECT!" Then Lawler said something like "No, you idiot, it was the Bulldog!" Classic moment, although my memory of it is very sketchy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either you're confused or they did this act again, because when Piper is reffing the Backlund/Hart match at WM XI, King asks Vince, "Who did Bret Hart beat for the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania VIII?" After some probing, Vince gets mad and screams "I DON'T KNOW! THE BRITISH BULLDOG?!" "Wrong," King replies. "It was Rowdy Roddy Piper." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted January 5, 2003 then you're remembering wrong too, Bret defeated Piper at Wrestlemania 8, as Piper had took the belt off the Mountie at the Royal Rumble, not the other way around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BAR Report post Posted January 5, 2003 Whatever, it was damn funny. Like I said, I ain't seen it in a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A crucial miswording on my part. Thanks for pointing that out. It has been fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
