Gorman

I thought it was originally the Birdbuster, but then Gorilla accidentally called it the Ghostbuster, and then that was the name going forward.

Stokely just gave us the Bobby Heenan "my monitor went out!" of tweets.

Yes -- Lenny sounded very good. On the indies, you'd have to go back to the first IWC Super Indy tournament in 2002, where I did ring announcing and solo commentary.

Thoughts on WWF Armageddeon 99 Kurt Angle (doing his heel Three-I's gimmick) beat Steve Blackman cleanly. Then Blackman, the babyface, attacked him with nunchucks. Attitude! Miss Kitty had a big night. She won the Women's title in an evening gown swimming pool match and removed her top. I'm sure today's female wrestlers are glad they don't have to "compete" in matches like that. She later posed with Intercontinental champion Chyna as they held up both belts. Chyna dropped the IC title to Chris Jericho, who wrestled more aggressively than in their first meeting and forced her to tap out in the middle of the ring. Chyna came up to the new champion later and shook his hand in respect. This was more like a real sport than real sports. Rikishi called himself "Rah-kishi" in his pre-match promo. He was lumped into a "fat guy" tag team against Crash and Hardcore Holly, who demanded superheavyweight opponents. Of course, Rikishi and Viscera couldn't get along and lost. Kane's steel cage match with X-Pac had the interesting stipulation that Kane could only win by pinfall, but X-Pac could also escape the cage. Kane ended the feud by destroying X-Pac with a tombstone piledriver. Speaking of feud-ending destructions, The Big Show paid back Big Bossman for all of his evils with a convincing victory in just over 3 minutes. That was one of the shortest WWF title matches ever, bested by Bruno over Buddy Rogers, Hogan over Yokozuna, and (of course) Diesel over Bob Backlund. The Rock and Sock Connection fought the New Age Outlaws for 16 minutes, only to have the match end with an Al Snow run-in for the DQ. That ending seemed like a punchline from one of Mick Foley's books. Triple H is the MVP for secretly marrying the boss' daughter, dragging her 53-year-old dad through a 30-minute main event, and uniting with her at the end for a partnership that would dominate the company for decades. Now that's a worthy angle to end the millennium.

They dumped Gangrel and stuck with Terri, because she was with the Hardys at least through Armageddon.

Thoughts on Survivor Series 99 Godfather, D-Lo and the Headbangers all dressed as pimps. After their win, referee Tim White danced with the hos for the second straight PPV. Kurt Angle's debut win over Shawn Stasiak was not a squash. Stasiak actually looked great with some impressive offense. Angle was curiously touted as "the most celebrated real athlete in WWF history." Poor Davey Boy Smith looked on with disdain as the Mean Street Posse was wiped out by Mark Henry, Gangrel and Steve Blackman. He mounted a babyface-like comeback, but he couldn't outlast Henry and Val Venis. Fabulous Moolah pinned Ivory for the second straight PPV to win the one-fall women's match. Of course, Moolah wrestled at the first Survivor Series in 1987. Chris Jericho worked incredibly hard to drag a great match out of Chyna and give her credibility as Intercontinental champion. Jericho ended up winning the IC title more than anyone else (10 times). Since the last PPV, the tag team titles bounced from Mankind & The Rock to the Hollys to Mankind & Al Snow to The New Age Outlaws. Here, the Outlaws retained the belts over Mankind & Snow. The Monday Night War with WCW is probably why the title change happened on TV instead of PPV. Big Show is the MVP for beating up his own teammates on Sunday Night Heat, wiping out Bossman's teammates and sending him running, and then beating Triple H and The Rock to win the WWF title. He bounced from heel to face to heel to face in his first nine months in the company. Someone realized that booking Big Show as an unstoppable giant was a good idea.

Dana is from Ohio, so she's more likely to be obsessed with President James A. Garfield.

The only person who would pop a Luger 95 reaction on the AEW TV debut is CM Punk.

Thoughts on No Mercy 99 (USA) I was there, and it was a crazy night. The first mind-blowing thing we saw was 76-year-old Fabulous Moolah winning the Women's title from Ivory. Mae Young, as usual, took some great bumps. Road Dogg isn't usually known for his great wrestling moves, but he hit an impressive superplex on Hardcore Holly. The Holly cousins beat the Outlaws by DQ when Hardcore pulled an Eddy Guerrero and slid a chair into the ring just as Billy Gunn landed the famouser onto Crash on the chair. Jeff Jarrett almost beat Chyna in the Good Housekeeping match, but Teddy Long ruled that he was not allowed to hit her with a non-household item like the IC title belt. He then immediately allowed Chyna to win the title with a guitar shot. We gave Edge, Christian and the Hardy Boyz a standing ovation after their ladder match, and so did the crowd on Raw one night later. None of us knew how influential that match would be. They deserve to share the MVP award. Things we forget about that match: This was the final match of a series to earn Terri's services as a manager The Hardys (not E&C) were called the Brood and came out through a ring of fire with Gangrel The winners also got $100,000 Val Venis upset Mankind by a bit of lousy officiating. A testicular claw is the same as a low blow and should not have been allowed. X-Pac won a four-way by pinning Kane and Faarooq. Bradshaw was also in the match. X-Pac was positioned as a plucky underdog, just like he was when he debuted six years earlier as The 1-2-3 Kid. One month later, he was a heel member of DX. Gotta love 1999. Austin and Triple H had a classic Attitude Era brawl, with the Rock's interference leading to Triple H winning. This set up a three-way at Survivor Series that would end with someone else winning the title.

Today I’m launching my novel, Wrestling Is Real. It’s the story of Oscar, a small teenager who is chasing his dream in a world where professional wrestling is a real sport. I hope you enjoy it. Here’s the link: https://amzn.to/2WFF0nL

He's just staying in gimmick.

I'm not surprised that ROH kept giving you free tickets since you were their first champion.

Congratulations to Cleveland's own Shane Taylor for winning the ROH TV title last night in Toronto. It was great to see him work his way up from the local scene and win some gold.

Mandy should assume the women will be in the main event at next year's Mania. She can hold the case for 11 months so she can headline "Mandy Mania."

As a fellow 48-year-old, I'd like to speak for Mr. Dreamer by saying, "I'm too old to take a Lego Driver."

Yes, it bums me out. We used to call them Uncle Pepsi and Uncle Coke when our girl was a baby. It seems like they had a great friendship, too. Those become more precious as you get older, both inside and outside the wrestling business.

For live World title changes, I have Steamboat over Flair at Chi-Town Rumble, and Yokozuna over Hogan at KOTR 93.

Sweet! I was the ring announcer for that one. It was extra special because I used to drive Punk & Cabana from the Cleveland airport to the IWC Pittsburgh shows.

Actually, Austin won that match (I was there), but your point is well taken

It's Akam. Rezar has been in some singles matches on Main Event

Ludvig Borga could have been Finnish Tony. I think Authors of Pain came from the James Bond movie Spectre. Christoph Waltz's villain told Bond, "I'm the author of all your pain."

Somebody asked one of the Bucks on Twitter what their team would be called when they got older, and the answer was "The Young Bucks"

Three-man booths can work if they are done properly. My team with Joe Dombrowski & Kingdom James worked in IWC Pittsburgh because we had great chemistry and clearly defined roles. That's why Mike Tenay worked so well when he joined the WCW broadcast team: because he stayed in his lane as the lucha expert.

As a guy who edited Bleacher Report during its first five years, when it included fan-written reports on cricket and Formula One, I find it amazing and hilarious that you can now watch sports on Bleacher Report.
