24/7 Online November Line-up

Recommended Posts

This month WWE 24/7 Online features a wide array of classic moments in wrestling history, such as Jake "The Snake" Roberts on the Barber Shop, Paul Orndorff on the Flower Shop, and of course the infamous Piper's Pit featuring Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. Also, you won't want to miss classic matches involving Sgt. Slaughter, Dusty Rhodes, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Sting, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, just to name a few. All this and more!

 

WCW Starrcade - Dusty Rhodes vs. Lex Luger

November 26, 1987 | Approx. run time: 22 mins.

Starrcade was WCW's biggest event of the year, and in this one Lex Luger put his United States Championship on the line against Dusty Rhodes in a Steel Cage Match. Luger was a part of the Four Horsemen at the time and had J.J. Dillon in his corner. Would Dillon give Luger the edge he needed to defeat Dusty?

 

WWE Survivor Series - The Perfect Team vs. The Ultimate Warriors

November 22, 1990 | Approx. run time: 20 mins.

This is a classic Survivor Series-style elimination match pitting Ultimate Warrior, The Texas Tornado & L.O.D against Mr. Perfect and all three members of Demolition. Could the strength of The Warriors overcome their opponents' self-proclaimed perfection?

 

WWE Survivor Series - The All-Americans vs. The Foreign Fanatics

November 24, 1993 | Approx. run time: 40 mins.

This one was about more than wins and losses. National pride was on the line in this one as Lex Luger, The Steiners and Undertaker fought for the honor of America against The Foreign Fanatics. Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga, Jacques Rougeau and Crush all shared disdain for the U.S., but would that disdain translate into a victory?

 

WWE Survivor Series - Bob Backlund vs. Bret Hart

November 23, 1994 | Approx. run time: 41 mins.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart was called the Excellence of Execution, but Bob Backlund was one of the few Superstars that could go hold for hold with the Hit Man. Hart had the Sharpshooter and Backlund had the Chicken Wing. Which maneuver would lead to a victory in this Submission Match?

 

WWE Wrestling Challenge - Jake Roberts on The Barber Shop

December 28, 1991 | Approx. run time: 3 mins.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts was a guest on The Barber Shop. He was there to discuss his very personal rivalry with "Macho Man" Randy Savage. This rivalry was jump-started when Jake, along with Undertaker, crashed Savage's and Elizabeth's wedding at SummerSlam and gave them a cobra as a wedding present.

 

WWE Royal Rumble - Roddy Piper vs. The Mountie

January 19, 1992 | Approx. run time: 12 mins.

The Mountie shocked the world when he defeated a sick Bret "Hit Man" Hart for the Intercontinental Championship, but he needed his shock stick to get the job done. Roddy Piper took this match on behalf of the Hit Man and tried to avenge Bret's loss by winning his first piece of WWE gold. Would The Mountie have to pay the Piper?

 

WWE - Piper's Pit with Jimmy Snuka

June 26, 1984 | Approx. run time: 4 mins.

This is widely considered as the most memorable Piper's Pit ever. In this edition, the Rowdy one insults WWE Hall of Famer "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka and adds insult to injury when he smashes a coconut over his head.

 

WCW Nitro - Scott Hall vs. Bret Hart vs. Goldberg vs. Sid

November 8, 1999 | Approx. run time: 6 mins.

The United States Championship was on the line in a Texas Tornado Ladder Match on this wild edition of Nitro. Scott Hall was the Champion and his buddy Kevin Nash was named the special guest referee. Would his fellow Outsider help lead him to victory?

 

WWE Championship Wrestling - Paul Orndorff on The Flower Shop

July 26, 1986 | Approx. run time: 2 mins.

"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff used to be a revered crowd favorite, but after he turned on one-time friend Hulk Hogan, he became a hated villain. Shortly after turning his back on the fans, Orndorff appeared on the Flower Shop mocking The Hulkster. You won't want to miss this classic segment.

 

WCW SuperBrawl - The Steiners vs. Lex Luger & Sting

May 19, 1991 | Approx. run time: 11 mins.

The Steiner Brothers, Lex Luger and Sting were all friends at the time, but Luger and Sting thought they were worthy of a shot at the WCW Tag Team Championship so they asked for a match. The Steiners, being the fighting champions that they were, granted them the shot and the result was a tag team classic. Nikita Koloff got involved in the action as well, but what result would his presence cause?

 

WWE Tuesday in Texas - Jake Roberts vs. Randy Savage

December 3, 1991 | Approx. run time: 17 mins.

This rivalry was about as personal as it could get. Jake "The Snake" Roberts crashed "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth's wedding and gave them a cobra as a wedding gift. After being attacked by a cobra in the ring as well, Savage came out of retirement to face Roberts. You won't want to miss this brutal grudge match

 

Superstar Billy Graham vs. Dusty Rhodes

August 24, 1977 | Approx. run time: 13 mins.

Take a trip in the Way Back Machine and watch a WWE Hall of Famer take on a young Dusty Rhodes. Superstar Billy Graham was on a roll in 1977 and had defeated the likes of Chief Jay Strongbow, Gorilla Monsoon, Ivan Putski, Bob Backlund and was the WWE Champion after dethroning Bruno Sammartino. Could Superstar add Dusty Rhodes to his list of victims?

 

WWE WrestleMania VII - Sgt. Slaughter vs. Hulk Hogan

March 24, 1991 | Approx. run time: 28 mins.

Sgt. Slaughter is often remembered as a huge crowd favorite. But during this time there was no man hated more than the Sarge. He was an Iraqi sympathizer during this time and had turned his back on his country. He had defeated Ultimate Warrior for the WWE Championship and put the gold on the line at WrestleMania VII against Hulk Hogan. Could the "Real American" defeat the turncoat and become WWE Champion once again?

 

WWE - Ric Flair vs. Bret Hart

October 12, 1992 | Approx. run time: 27 mins.

Most people know about this famous match that took place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, but not many have actually seen it. Now is your chance to witness Bret Hart become WWE Champion for the first time when he upset the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair in his home country of Canada at a live event.

 

WCW Nitro - Syxx vs. Rey Mysterio

April 21, 1997 | Approx. run time: 9 mins.

The action is incredibly fast-paced in this Cruiserweight classic. Known by WWE fans as X-Pac, Syxx took on Rey Mysterio. Syxx was the Cruiserweight Champion and had the nWo by his side. Could Mysterio pull off the upset and become Champion?

 

WWE RAW - Billionaire Ted Segment

February 19, 1996 | Approx. run time: 4 mins.

This segment was smack in the middle of the Monday Night Wars. This was a spoof on WCW owner Ted Turner, and showed how deep the hatred ran between WWE and WCW during this time

 

WCW Nitro - Rick Steiner meets Chucky

November 12, 1998 | Approx. run time: 4 mins.

WCW had its share of bizarre moments over the years, but perhaps no segment was more bizarre than when Rick Steiner was confronted by horror movie icon Chuckie from Child's Play. This segment has to be seen to be believed.

 

WWE RAW - Shawn Michaels vs. Max Moon

January 11, 1993 | Approx. run time: 9 mins.

Max Moon was a very colorful high-flier that was around for a brief time in the early 1990s. Shawn Michaels took on this mysterious character in a match from the first ever RAW.

 

NWA Clash of the Champions - Sting vs. Mike Rotundo

April 1, 1989 | Approx. run time: 16 mins.

This was a classic technical wrestling match-up and the Television Championship was on the line. Could Mike Rotundo, better known by WWE fans as I.R.S., walk away with the gold? Or would the Stinger leave as Champion?

 

WCW Uncensored - Hogan & Savage vs. Flair, Arn Anderson, Taskmaster, Faces of Fear, Luger, Z-Gangsta & Ultimate Solution

March 24, 1996 | Approx. run time: 27 mins.

This will certainly go down as one of the most unique matches in WCW history. This took place in a four-level Steel Cage. Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage had to take on eight men. They had to start at the top of the cage and work their way down until they got to the bottom level and score a pinfall. This is certainly one you won't want to miss.

WCW Nitro - Scott Hall vs. Bret Hart vs. Goldberg vs. Sid

November 8, 1999 | Approx. run time: 6 mins.

The United States Championship was on the line in a Texas Tornado Ladder Match on this wild edition of Nitro. Scott Hall was the Champion and his buddy Kevin Nash was named the special guest referee. Would his fellow Outsider help lead him to victory?

 

I love matches like this, because it shows just how insane Russo was when booking WCW. Not only is it taking place on free TV, but it's a match that combines two different gimmicks, has a special referee, AND lasts less than six minutes.

Eh, not too bad of a lineup. Generally, I'm happy to see matches/segments I've never seen or can't remember. Looking forward to checking out Graham/Rhodes, Steiners/Sting & Luger, Sting/Rotundo, and Syxx/Mysterio for the first time.

Why are the Bret/Flair and Savage/Jake matches being shown here and NOT on the dvd's of these men when both are pretty important to their careers?

 

Bret hates Flair and thinks all of the matches they had together were garbage, remember? That's probably the last thing he wanted on his DVD.

sweet, I can tape those 3 Survivor Series I never got to tape the first time around...

 

These are just individual matches for the ol wwe.com jukebox. They renamed it Online 24/7. Unless you meant you can record them off your WMP. If that's the case, nevermind. :)

Two stupid questions:

 

1) Where did they say Crush was from that he was a "Foreign Fanatic"? Basically, why was an American on an anti-American team?

 

2) Why would they completely ignore that Mike Rotundo was a former WWF Champion (from his days tagging with Windham) and just refer to him as his IRS persona?

The worst thing is they 1) Built it up for weeks with "mysterious laughing" coming over the PA, and 2) The Nitro announcers ACTED LIKE CHUCKY WAS REAL!

Here is the transcript of Jake Roberts' 24/7 Online interview. It's a snippet from his DVD (Jake "The Snake" Roberts: Pick Your Poison) and it's gripping stuff.

=============

Jake Roberts: "I wrestled in an altered state for probably two years straight. At least 18 months."

 

Jim Ross: "When you look back at that, not withstanding the fact that the drug addiction is a killer; it will kill you if you do it long enough. We all know that's going to happen. If a guy does it long enough, he's a dead man."

 

Roberts: "Right. Absolutely. Russian roulette."

 

Ross: "But looking back at it aside from that fact, do you feel almost a sigh of relief that nobody in any of your matches got hurt because you were messed up?"

 

Roberts: "Yeah. Absolutely. I'm just thankful that I wasn't clumsy. And thankful that God had a hand on there somewhere. Because there's no way in the world I should be sitting in this chair right now. I tried to commit suicide twice. Took 100 placidils. 10 of them will kill a man. Easily. 100 would kill an elephant. And lived. Took 100 Valium. Woke up the next morning. And you know what--"

 

Ross: "You wanted to die that night."

 

Roberts: "I was begging for it. And you know what, Jim? You know the insanity of it? When you wake up and you say to yourself, 'Christ, what a loser I am. I can't even fucking die right.' That, my friend, is insanity of the addiction. Nobody, no one, can ever hurt me as I've hurt myself. Whether it came from being ashamed of myself for being a 10-year-old/11-year-old bed wetter to the no good, son of a bitch that beat his sister up and never once told her that he loved her. And then she dies? She's murdered? Nobody can make me feel as bad as I do myself. Nobody can punish me as much as I can punish myself. I'm not happy about where I've been. But I'm truly excited about where I'm going."

Guest wood

i just watched Goldberg Beat Hogan for the WcW Title.

 

that's messed up how the fans used to throw garbage into the ring like they did all the time. Kinda ruins the nostalgia of the match when i saw that.

Woo!  All-Americans vs. Foriegn Fanatics!

 

That match always cracked me up seeing as Yoko is actually from American Samoa and wasn't Crush being billed as being from Kona, Hawaii at that point? How exactly are either men Foreign? And since when was old school Taker an All American kind of guy? He's not one you'd really see waving a flag...back then. Biker Taker on the other hand would be there in a heartbeat.

 

EDIT: Okay since Yoko was billed as being Japanese, which was silly in and of itself since he's Samoan, so I guess I can't count that one.

Well, I believe Yoko was billed as "From Polynesia, representing Japan" during his tenure.

 

As for Crush, maybe he gets a foreign citizenship?

Oh is he really from Polynesia? I just assumed since he's Samoan that he was from American Samoa. I honestly don't remember them saying he was from Polynesia, but I'm sure you are right.

I just remember them saying that's where he was from the Sega CD game "Rage in the Cage"

Actually Undertaker was a replacement for an injured (perhaps worked) Tatanka. Undertaker displayed his patriotic nature when it was announced he was the new member of the team by having the stars and stripes inside his trenchcoat. It was a very moving episode of SUperstars... I guess, I'm Canadian. I was going for the Quebeccers.

1)I'd love to see the image of Taker with the Stars and Stripes inside his coat.

 

2)I'm guessing the reason Crush was taken out of the match was the Legit or worked injury of Quebeccer Pierre?

They showed it in the highlight package before the match. It sure appeared that both injuries were worked. Although, I'm surprised they wouldn't lop off one of the Steiners to put Undertaker in since Tatanka was still very over at the time.
