Remember when that 1st happened and a lot of us thought Angle was just going to be cannon fodder for TBS

During the whole 1991-1992 time period,

 

How many times did freaking Virgil, Tito Santana, Ted Dibiase, and Repo Man fight in some combo of face Vs. Heel in singles or tag matches?

 

I seem to remember everyweek on Prime Time seeing this.

Interestngly, those BOTH took place less than 30 minutes from my house. I couldn't go to the Cornwall one but I made it to the one in Potsdam (with one T) , sitting in the 3rd row.

 

I remember Al Snow was up in the cheap seats watching after his match, but I didn't go up there because I thought 'He's just a jobber!'

 

Oh, and HBK was quite drunk that night, wrestling about a 3:30 main event with Goldust before starting to strip in midring, showing us all his ass.

 

There was a RABID ECW contingent in the back of the arena, as they chanted the fed's name all night. This conversation took place:

 

WWF Fan: Why did you come here?

ECW Fan: To make fun of you!

 

Ah, memories.
