strummer Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 80s WWF was partly known for its corny, campy, over the top skits. A lot of old time fans didn't like them, but a a lot of them, IMO, were really entertaining. Fuji Vice!! The Hart Foundation's Secret Liar (infiltrated by Mean Gene) Funk Brothers Barbeque (Lord Alfred Hayes is part of the meal) Rick Steamboat's 3 levels of becoming a Ninja At home with the Macho Man (Playgirl calling him everyday) A Very Piper Christmas Hulk Training Mean Gene
LessonInMachismo Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 Ah, hell, anything with Dibiase...
deancoles Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 The Piledriver music video of Slick. The Islanders stealing Matilda. The Rougeaus debuting their American flags after telling Craig DeGeorge about their "Fabulous time in the states" The picture of Harley Race that would show up when His injury was mentioned in 88. The heel Managers on TNT trying to convince Randy Savage to join them.
LessonInMachismo Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 <<The Rougeaus debuting their American flags after telling Craig DeGeorge about their "Fabulous time in the states">> All-American boys!
Guest LooneyTune Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 The Piper version of Ebineezer Scrooge (yes, it wasn't even the correct spelling) was pretty bad, with lots of lame jokes and Piper rambling incoherrently at a bunch of B-actors. Anything with Fuji and Muraco owned everyones ass, though. Fuji General and Fuji Vice especially.
Guest The Decadent Slacker Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Piper's Halloween was fucking awesome, just for the total stupidity of the whole thing.
Guest Hass of Pain Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Lord Alfred Hayes showing up at the Bushwackers cabin in the middle of the woods.
MillenniumMan831 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Piper escorting Cowboy Bob Orton to the doctor's office for a checkup on his arm was classic.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Mr. Fuji and The Bezerker with "Party Planning Tips" Fuji: "Now we ready to throw da potty." Bezerker: "HUSS! HUSS! HUSS!" Wasn't there BOWLING TIPS from Kamala and Slick? (Post Kamala face turn)
King Cucaracha Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Wasn't there BOWLING TIPS from Kamala and Slick? (Post Kamala face turn) Yeah, I remember it was on one of the CHV releases...can't remember what one though. EDIT: Apparently it was Invasion Of The Bodyslammers, from about '93.
Guest LooneyTune Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Who can forget this classic: The wedding reception of Uncle Elmer? (vomits wildly)
Dobbs 3K Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 "The picture of Harley Race that would show up when His injury was mentioned in 88." I don't remember this one...what was this about?
deancoles Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 "The picture of Harley Race that would show up when His injury was mentioned in 88." I don't remember this one...what was this about? On Wrestling Challenge whenever Heenan and Monsoon would discuss Race's injury, a picture of Race's face(surrounded by purple clouds) would appear in the bottom corner of the screen.
Guest LooneyTune Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Ditto for Superstars of Wrestling.
LessonInMachismo Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Didn't Race's injury stem from him going through a table after Hogan moved out of the way? And Heenan blamed Hogan for moving? Considering all of the tabling that goes on these days, I guess wrestlers have become tougher over the years. Didn't they even do a Heenan Family interview on the stage and do a ten bell salute to Race?
Gary Floyd Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Piper escorting Cowboy Bob Orton to the doctor's office for a checkup on his arm was classic. Almost anything with Piper in the 80's was gold, IMO Gotta second the mention of Mr.Fuji and the Berzerker
MillenniumMan831 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 No doubt about Piper . . . Rowdy Roddy Piper's Greatest Hits may be my favorite video I own. The definite icing on the cake of the tape is Piper's Pit w/ Rowdy Roddy Piper's guest . . . Rowdy Roddy Piper! "My shirt says HOT ROD . . . it doesn't say dumb rod. It doesn't say limp rod. It says Hot Rod . . . BUT the second time, I'm long and lean . . . and the third time I'm wonderful!"
hbkhhhmark4life Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 My favorite moment would have to be the "Girls In Cars" and "Rock n Roll Hoochie Koo" videos from Piledriver the Music Videos, these videos had me dying laughing!!!
Guest Loss Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Oh, and it's not a WWF skit, but my favorite all-time cheeseball skit is from Mid-Atlantic. Ric Flair goes to Blackjack Mulligan's ranch to ask him to be his tag team partner. "I've walked through 18 miles of mud and crap to get here!" he complains, as he's wearing his brand new suit and sunglasses, and hasn't even broken a sweat. Priceless.

Didn't they even do a Heenan Family interview on the stage and do a ten bell salute to Race? Race was known for going for his signature headbutts outside the ring and always missing (kinda like Flair going to the top rope and getting thrown off 99.67% of the time). I highly doubt he was suppose to land the move. He simply landed on the wrong part of the table.

Guest LooneyTune Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Oh... hmm... I don't remember if Heenan blamed Hogan, but probably did. I just remember the picture in clouds popping up every 3 minutes.

I just remember the picture in clouds popping up every 3 minutes. If only we had 24/7... Yeah, I remember everyone, from Bobby to the color commentators, saying "Harley Race is in the hospital at the hands of Hulk Hogan!"

Yeah, I remember everyone, from Bobby to the color commentators, saying "Harley Race is in the hospital at the hands of Hulk Hogan!" yep thats what he kept doing. they did the 10-bell salute with Heenan, Andre, Rude and Hercules and Heenan announced at the end that shortly he would announce the new King. (which was Haku seen as though they had nothing for him when Tama and the other very brief Islander High-Chief Afi were fired) My favourite WWF skits were anything with Heenan and Monsoon (even if it was just commentating a match, they were that good!!)

Or Monsoon and Jesse... And why were Tama and Afi fired?
Guest jumpingbombangel Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Most of mine were mentioned, but just to jump ahead a year or two past the 80s, a lot of fun moments come from the Prime Time Wrestling circa 1991-92 when they had the studio audience (damn, I miss those for some odd reason). I remember Macho Man's bachelor party being so incredibly stupid it was funny. There was one weird one where after Earthquake squashed and killed Damien and came on claiming he'd made hamburgers out of Damien and really pissing Vince McMahon off.
