OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 Must Fucking Own. The promos alone make this a must buy for me. I remember back when he and Buddy Landel were shit-talking each other over the "Nature Boy" name. Buddy was never anything more than a mid card heel but this gave him limelight.

razazteca 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 I rather it be in the extra section for easy access, I don't like having to put in special codes to get the easter egg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 The Funeral Parlor one, does that end with Vince getting hit with a wooden chair? If so, that's awesome. I don't mind Easter Eggs that are all "click here, highlight this", I actually enjoy those. It's the "enter chapter selection XXX and..." etc, as I hear the Simpsons Season 3 Easter Eggs are ridiculously complicated like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cawthon777 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 The Funeral Parlor one, does that end with Vince getting hit with a wooden chair? If so, that's awesome. The Funeral Parlor had Hogan on as a guest and then Flair interrupts ... and while Hogan is distracted, the Undertaker comes out of the standing coffin and nails Hogan with the urn. Then Savage and Piper run down with chairs. Vince was knocked out during the Flair / Piper confrontation a few weeks earlier, as Flair was making his way to the ring for his first match (which is also on the DVD from what I see).

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 I wonder if the WWF stuff still has video distortion on the belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ISportsFan 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 I wonder if the WWF stuff still has video distortion on the belt. It would, since when they distorted the title Flair was holding either a tag team title belt or IC title belt. They showed the NWA/WCW title belt as much as they could until Flair gave it back for some cash. Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 Well, IIRC, the FUneral Parlor segment had the real belt, but was later distorted in recaps... I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ISportsFan 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 Well, IIRC, the FUneral Parlor segment had the real belt, but was later distorted in recaps... I think. They distorted it in recaps, IIRC, because the storyline was that the belt was going to be distorted from then on out (since they didn't have the big gold belt anymore). So, for continuity sake within the storyline (continuity, where has that word gone...), they distorted everything after Tunney made the announcement (including recaps of when he had the real big gold belt).

Guest Loss Report post Posted November 10, 2003 The absolute best angle from Flair's WWF run was when he made Piper snap. Piper tried to hit him with a chair and accidentally KO'd Vince at the announce table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
