Guest JMTapes Report post Posted March 12, 2002 Did anyone else enjoy the old WWF weekend shows? I had more fun watching these back in '93-'95 or so than I've ever had watching a Raw or Smackdown brodcast. I think that's why I started trading tapes. My favorite was Superstars. It seemed like something cool happened every week, and that it went on forever. Spotlight was also good, although I had to get up at EIGHT O'CLOCK AM to watch it. Challenge seemed like it was a cheap ripoff of Superstars, but I've since become more fond of it. Your thoughts?? -Jim www.jmtapes.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tony149 Report post Posted March 12, 2002 Weekend wrestling was cool. It was the Raw & Smackdown's before those were even around. Ah, the good 'ol days. Drury37, you post went like that probably because of putting : 0 together making it look like :0. It's just a little flaw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest converge241 Report post Posted March 16, 2002 I miss those weekend shows full of squashness and jobberrific entertainment. What the heck did all those former jobbers do once they changed over to the new formats? Imagine being an Iron Mike Sharpe, or whoever and the tell the whole enhancement talent division that they are getting rid of you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Drury37 Report post Posted March 16, 2002 That's a very good question,what happened to all the jobbers? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted March 16, 2002 They became glorified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest converge241 Report post Posted March 16, 2002 either that or they filed lawsuits (hardbody harrison, "hard work" bobby walker) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Drury37 Report post Posted March 16, 2002 Yeah I agree,with they either became glorified or they filed for law suits. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tony149 Report post Posted March 16, 2002 I doubt the jobbers filed lawsuits. Sonny Onoo, Bobby Walker & Hardbody filed lawsuits saying there was racism in WCW for not pushing them or something like that. The jobbers were probably released. I don't think they had contracts.

Guest converge241 Report post Posted March 16, 2002 I was only joking about them all filing lawsuits. probably should have thrown a smiley icon in there or sumthin' those guys were just the last prominent jobbers i could remember from their names being brought up all the time in those lawsuits.

Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted March 16, 2002 I just assumed most of the jobbers were local indy workers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Drury37 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Yeah,they were probably just released,I liked the jober matches because when two big named wrestlers would wrestle it each it would mean more. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tony149 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 It would be weird how wrestling would be today if jobbers were still around. Do you think ratings would of been as high as they were during the "Attitude" era with the top guys wrestling jobbers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 The jobbers were a part of the business that had to change. The format for WWF TV was WWF superstar vs. jobber. Superstar kicks the crap out of jobber. Jobber mounts a small comeback before taking the Superstars finisher and calling it a night. Come to think of it I do miss the shows like that but Raw and Smackdown are good enough for me now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Drury37 Report post Posted March 20, 2002 I could picture there being a WWF Colisuem Home Video tape, WWF Revenge of the Jobbers,hosted by Shawn Mooney!!! Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GatesFTW Report post Posted March 22, 2002 of the old shows, I loved the Piper's Pit and the Snake Pit and even Brother Love. They were fun. I liked when Piper attacked Snuka with a cocoanut. Great Stuff. I also like the Piper's Pit when Piper was at a McDonald's ordering an McDLT and we see a boulder go through the window and Ken Patera challenged Dino Bravo to a tug of war. So they tugged of war at McD's and Piper or Patera must have hired some super heels because the Rougeau Bros drove past the drive thru window of the McD's with a 16 gage shotgun and KILLED Dino Bravo as Frenchi Martin and Martin Brodeur wept. And just as I'm saying, WOW THIS IS THE BEST INTERVIEW IN SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT HISTORY, Joey Marella, Gorilla's beloved son drove into the McDonald's killing himself. And Piper hit Snuka with an egg mcmuffin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GatesFTW Report post Posted March 22, 2002 Also, this is a bit of trivia, Sean Mooney washed up in boston as a legitimate news anchor. Yes. Real news. on WBZ, channel 4. he's since left to host masterpiece theatre i think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMTapes Report post Posted March 23, 2002 Ah, a fellow Bostonian!! Funny stuff, although the Joy Marella thing was a little harsh, considering he WAS killed in a car crash. -Jim jmtapes.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Drury37 Report post Posted March 23, 2002 I was watching the Fox Sports Net once and all of sudden they go lets go live to Anaheim where Sean Mooney is at Spring Training with the Angeles,so of course I started going here he comes down say Mooney,Mooney!!!I remembered when he was UPN 9 over here in New York,(well I lived at the time and still live in Connecticut,but I get all the New York channels)it was Mooney every night.

Guest krambigmac Report post Posted March 23, 2002 I remember seeing Mooney on channel 4 a few yrs ago and I heard that he wants to forget all about working in the WWF. I guess it wasn't his dream job to be the next Craig DiGeorge. Who remembers Craig? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
