JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2004 Can you think of any that come to mind? I just saw a Smoking Gunns vignette the other day from 1993, right before they debuted. It shows them pulling out guns, and then closeups on their hands as they rattle off shots and do gun tricks, then pull back again to show Billy and Bart. AWFUL vignette.

Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted March 26, 2004 How could anyone forget they awesome "Stalker" vignettes when Barry Windham returned in 1996? I swear, Vince HAD TO BE PISSED at him. After the mid 80s run, he comes back in 1989 as "The Widow Maker", leaves in like a month, comes back in 1996 as "The Stalker", turns into "Blackjack Windham" and then was one of the top guys in the NWA stable.

Papacita 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 I liked Val Venis' debut promos. I always liked Goldust's promo vingettes too. How the gold glitter used to blow away and highlight his name and everything. Mankind's debut promos with he and the rat, and the piano and all that stuff. I liked Dean Douglas' stuff as well.

OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 Mr Perfect's and Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase's were my favorite of all time. Not much explanation needed. Also, the one that blew my fucking mind back when there was no internet was Bobby Heenan showing up with Flair's gold belt. The second I saw that belt in Bobby's hands I creamed my pants and was not disappointed one bit for the next year and a half. Worst that come to mind are Outback Jack doing who knows what in the Australian Outback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worst that come to mind are Outback Jack doing who knows what in the Australian Outback. I just watched one of Hennig's where he was playing table tennis. Perfect so ruled. I noticed something though: On an episode of Superstars in October '89, his theme music isn't the one I'm use to that he used from 1990-on in his WWF career. Sounded like some kind of Western movie theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 Since we're talking about Perfect, it's not a debut vignette, but it's funny anyways. It's before his WM9 match against Lex Luger. He says something to the effect of "You want an unveiling, Luger? Here's what you'll look like when I'm done with you." He pulls back a curtain and there's a skinny pale kid in his underwear flexing. Perfect then chops the SHIT out of the kid, who screams and falls to the floor, and he just laughs. Awesome stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 How about HHH's vignettes when he first came to wwf in 95. Pretty lame, and I am sure he would rather not them be shown on tv now (quick someone in the truck play them on raw) I remember TL Hoppers plumber vignettes. and Jeryy Lawler in Issac Yankems dentist office lol Real Mans Man was gold too, Regal shaved with a knife cuz hes a man (He's a man, such a man, such a man, he's a real, real, real man's m an) oh no now I got to get out my anthology cd and crank that How about Nail'z promos from jail. They showed an empty cell and hallway with his annoying gravely voice over them. sounded like he was using a voice modulator but apparently, he really talked like that. I liked any of perfects videos, especially the ones from where he played sports and guys like Wade Boggs would stand in awe of his abilities.
