DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 Did someone lend the WWE Video Department the Roddy Piper music video from their personal VHS collection? It does not appear to appear to have the same slick remastered quality as everything else to ever air on the channel. Pretty wacky, though. Any video that has a large black woman walking down the street just so she can randomly yell "EV-RE-BOD-EH HERE COMES TOO COLD SCORPIO!" is a winner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Pipes 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Among the Shorties is the Colesium Home Video rematch from WMVI between Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire w/Elizabeth vs Randy Savage and Queen Sherri w/ Brother Love. Although not exactly a technical classic, it's a lot better and more entertaining than their WM encounter. A few notes... 1) Gorilla and Heenan are pure gold here. Gorilla especially. Here's an exchange between the two... Heenan: "Sherri has eyes for Brother Love." Monsoon: "She has eyes for anything wearing a pair of pants!" Also a fun one where Monsoon says Elizabeth is a "10" and when Heenan asks about Sapphire, Gorilla said she's a minus-three. Heenan says they finally agree on something then Gorilla asks if he meant looks or in-ring talent. 2) It's sad to think that all three women involved in this match (Elizabeth, Sherri, and Sapphire) are all dead. Something very ****ed up about that. Another interesting bit in the shorties is from the AWA in 1980. Lord Alfred vs Bobby Heenan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Not sure if Brother Love's entrance was included but my favorite quip came when Heenan pointed that Love's music is tranquil and makes one want to sit back and think of the beautiful things in life. Monsoon drops the ol "It makes me want to barf!" line in response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know we're way past MizTV at this point, but my roommate and I became obsessed with all the bad music videos, especially the mysterious Piper video. Anyways, when I was looking it up on YouTube and found clips of Piper promoting the song as a single on some European morning show. Still doesn't explain the origin, but I found it mildly interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWE got it from a Nitro where the nWo showed it to mock Piper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 Since I seem to live a week in the future now, I have to comment in advance that the Jericho/Regal match from Backlash 2001 has some of the best scratch logo blurring I've seen. If this is how post Mania XIV Raw episodes will look on 24/7, excellent. Obviously the larger WWF logos on the ring apron have fairly large and obvious blurs, but the turnbuckles alternate between not blurred at all to just blurred enough that they're JUST managing they're court mandated blurring orders. Recent DVD efforts have been like this too, except I've noticed that if the match has close up action shots around the turnbuckles, the blur becomes visible on top of the wrestlers. Nothing like that was found here. Also, they didn't change the WWF in Regal's Commissioner title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zappafrank 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 For the Heenan/Alfred Hayes shorty, I think they spliced together an AWA match with an NWA interview (specifically, one from FL since Barbara Clearly is the interviewer). The match is clearly AWA, and the crowd is behind Alfred (even though he cheats at the end) and Heenan is up to his old tricks. But in the interview, Alfred is clearly a heel (talking trash on America), and he mentions world champions like Race, Brisco, and Dusty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Pipes 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 The Haku/Harley match is quite good. Race could still go even after suffering such a horrific injury. He'd have a really good matcy with Larry Z on the final AWA card the next year. He could still bump and they worked well together. If anyone has ever read Race's book, when Haku was younger, he used to help Harley out when he visited Japan or something. So jobbing to him at the Royal Rumble was a way to help him out. Some funny bits in the match including Heenan constantly switching his alligences and Ventura making fun of Monsoon. Monsoon keeps admonishing Race for not hooking the leg and Ventura says he used to see Gorilla not hook the leg when he was a child, much to Gorilla's indignation.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 A bit late but the Eddie/Rock match that was up was pretty good. Eddie's mid-move reversal of the Rock Bottom was pretty swank. I sorta watched the December to Dismember EC match (lots of FF for that one). Actually not as bad as I remembered with some good Punk/RVD interaction, but still not good overall. However - the Jaws cue rip-off music they used before a guy left a pod MUST be brought back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Pipes 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2009 Anyway, watching the Snuka/Rude WMVI match-up and I have a few observations... -Snuka's theme music has been inexplicably dubbed over. I say inexplicably because his original music had no words except for someone saying Super-Super-Superfly in a distorted voice. Did Rick James estate sue or something? The dub is very noticeable and dubs over a funny Steve Allen joke where he says Snuka is "so ugly that a vampire came into his room one day, took one look at him and bit the bed post. -I did hear one unintentionally funny Monsoon line though. Rude misses a dropkick and lands on the back of his head, prompting Gorilla to note that "he came hard on the back on his head." -Snuka's skin seemed very white in this match.
