Tromatagon Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 The Final Four match was the shit. I wish they had gone with that format more since they never did elimination four way matches. They could ditch the top rope thing though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 just watched that match last night. very good stuff. i also legitimately didn't know who won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Since we're supposed to be asking old school questions... I know the Scott Keith rumor of Austin winning is BS, but was an audible called on Austin being eliminated early? He looked like he came up limping at a point in the match, spent a lot of time on the mat, and Hart eliminated him pretty easily. And it seemed odd that the man who caused the whole match to happen in the first place would lose first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 An homage to Piper. He started doing it toward the end of his WWE run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I figured it might be something like that, but I'm pretty sure those weren't kilts he was wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Why did Raven start wearing skirts as ring gear a few years ago? easier to make a skirt fit than to make pants fit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeball Wizard Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Why did Raven start wearing skirts as ring gear a few years ago? I'm pretty sure it was a William Wallace "battle skirt", if I remember correctly, this was about the same time Raven would randomly paint shit on his face/body. Because drugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonard Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 does anyone know what norman smiley's SMBU stood for? was it actually the modern "smack my bitch up" or did it have another more fitting with the era meaning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Oh lord, people are talking about the late 90s like they were a new Victorian era. "Lady Winterbloom's whale tail is the talk of the village!" "Verily, I daresay she looks like the type to have a tongue piercing" "Sir! I'll have you know I have a tongue piercing!" "Then it's true what they say?" "Y...es" "Away to the alley with us then!" ETA: It was the "Big Wiggle" officially 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 IIRC, Austin went in injured. According to Bret's book, Austin had a really bad case of the flu. I also remember Austin doing an interview on RAW where he was railing against Vince for making a sympathetic video of Shawn Michaels when he (HBK) hurt his knee but Austin got nothing for going into the Final Four sick as a dog and with a blown out knee. It had the line, "you treat me like a dog and expect me to smile, you remind me of a jackass." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben. Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 So when I was young, things just seemed to appear and I never really gave them any thought. Earthquake showed up in 89, I didn't realize until mid-90. Diesel showed up in mid-93, I didn't realize until Wrestlemania X even though I remembered his Royal Rumble destruction tour. Bottom line, my young mind did not catch many details and just took them as appearing. With that being said, I'm watching a lot of 1989-1990 WWF and now I'm having questions that my 3-year-old mind never comprehended, the biggest being how did Sherri join up with Savage? I will have many more questions that I could probably easily find the answers to but I love the vim and vigor I get from you guys on these old school angles.

sydneybrown Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Since Elizabeth stayed in a neutral corner at WMV, Savage dumped her after the show. On the Brother Love show two weeks after, he then announced he had a new manager, and he brought out Sherri. That was pretty much all there was to it.

Guest Edwin Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Does anyone have any info on NWO Saturday Night? I noticed in the Wrestler of the Day thread which is Pez Whatley, there's a match between him and Buff Bagwell from NWO Saturday Night where the arena is virtually empty with only some NWO members in attendance like the Giant with the US Title and Syxx who's doing the ring announcer and Ted DiBiase who's the only person sitting in the crowd. There's no fans at the arena or anything.A Google search brought nothing aside from this: The New World Order (nWo) did their own version of WCW Saturday Night in late 1996 called nWo Saturday Night. Does anyone have anymore info on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It was just a segment during WCWSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 they usually recorded them before Nitro tapings, as you can see the Nitro ring and entrance set up. they shot it all in black and white, a masked Nick Patrick was the referee, and it was always nWo members vs jobbers.

BEN! Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The NWO was supposed to be an invading force so they bought time on WCW Saturday Night. WCW actually did a good job with that when the angle started. The taped promos were accompanied by a paid for statement and the merchandise phone numbers/mailing addresses actually differed from WCW's.
