Did anyone here ever call...

Recommended Posts

Remember that shit? After pay per view matches people would be on the Superstar Line to talk about their matches. Was it 1-900, I'm assuming? Did anyone ever call it?

I never did. Was tempted heavily though. Damn Okerlund made me care.

 

Any clue what those numbers are now? I'm curious.

The WCW Hotline was at, of course, 1-900-909-9900.

 

I will carry that little piece of information To. The. GRAVE.

On the same note - did anyone here ever get a WWF birthday greeting?

 

Around 1993 you could make arrangements for a WWF Superstar to call someone you knew and sing a personalized version of "Happy Birthday".

 

I never got one - but I'd die to have a recording of Undertaker singing.

I called once in 1995. I had moved and didn't have cable for about 2 weeks (which was the equivalent of the sky falling) so I had to call to figure out what was going on. This was immediately after the October In Your House so I had no clue what was going on with Shawn, the IC title, plans for Survivor Series, etc. I remember Jim Ross putting over Avatar in his Raw debut. That's about it.

 

I also selected the trivia option, where you could win a WWF prize pack for answering a few questions. "How many 6-man tag team matches took place at Summer Slam 89?" That was the quality of the questions. I won a WWF hat and some other items I apparently can't remember.

We won't even get into what I did. I used to call on a regular basis. Little did I know how much I was ringing up my parents phone bill. Then, figuring I wouldn't get busted (DUH) I went to my friends house and used their phone to call the superstar line. Needless to say, I was never allowed alone in that house again.

I remember one episode of Raw where Lawler got one for Helen Hart with Taker singing it. It was funny as hell.

 

As for the hotline, I called it a few times back in the day just to hear PPV results and post-match interviews.
