EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 Watching this show now on WWE 24/7. A handful of thoughts. -Roddy Piper is quite obnoxious outside the ring. Ric Flair mentions that Piper accompanied him to the ring in that infamous defense against Jack Veneno in the Dominican. No wonder the fans wanted to riot. -The midget match features Tiger Jackson. Jackson acquired bigger fame in wrestling nearly a decade later, as Dink the Clown. Watching Jackson, I'm surprised he did not receive more acclaim in the midget wrestling circuit. He's good. -A main event anywhere in the country? It sounds silly at times. But if a regional circuit ran Jay Strongbow vs. Masked Superstar, they probably could have sold a large house. The phrase became a joke when wrestling went national, but if you look at regional circuits and the talent WWE signed, you can see the purpose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember Monsoon saying that during a Bret Hart/SD Jones match at the Garden in 1986. The show was quite enjoyable and you could tell that it was a special night. Its a shame that the Garden has become just another arena. I read Scott Keiths write up of the show before I watched it and was curious as to why the Hogan match wasnt the last match of the night, then I kinda figured that it was so they could have whatever celebratory interviews they had and to announce the Hogan/Orndorff match for the next month before the show was over.
