Brian Fowler Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Seeing fully out of character Undertaker casually hanging out with X-Pac is the strangest fucking thing. I mean, I get they've known each other for at least 25 years, and them being friends wouldn't be odd at all. But seeing Taker without any gimmick pretense is always weird, adding Waltman is just bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 I think the only other time Taker has been out of character in this Network era was the 24 about last year's Mania and it definitely came across as a guy who didn't feel like he needed to "protect" his gimmick anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Meanie Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 For the longest time I thought The Gobledy Gooker made only one appearance at SS '90. Watching WWF's Funniest Moments from '91 is shows at least three more. Granted, they appeared to have been from house shows and/or Superstars tapings so I don't believe they were shown on tv, but damn....Vince really really tried to get it to stick. Also, there was a 30 MINUTE SEGMENT ON THE BUSHWACKERS. Sean Mooney, you lied to me, that was not one hour of great entertainment. Did people really like them that much back then?

Brian Fowler Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 To the best of my recollection, the Bushwhackers were always always wildly over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Sweetser Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 As bad as WCW Thunder is, WCW Saturday Night is that much awesome. I loved the two-out-of-three-falls main events as a mark in 1992 and I love them now. Ross needs to cool it with the random football guests, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really need to fill the gaps between 89 and 92 though. I just finished both WCW and Prime Time Wrestling (both end July 89) and I am not ready to jump ahead to 92. Robin Green hasn't even become Woman yet! Not having the WWF past 89 is the most frustrating. The NWA/WCW takes such a noticeable drop in quality by late 88, but the WWF is just on fire at that time.

You'd think at least they'd be able to get Wrestling Challenge or Wrestling Spotlight, the B and C shows to what Superstars was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 BTW - apparently a place holder has popped up on the Network for Sunday Night Heat so folks are speculating that old episodes will be going up soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually want them to bring back the earliest Prime Time Wrestling shows with Jack Reynolds/Jesse Ventura hosting. I adored that arena-show format with the long matches from MSG, Boston, Philly etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the state of entrance themes on the Network, including ones made in-house, they will clearly go to any length to avoid paying royalties. I'm surprised they aren't still editing out Jesse.

Michael Sweetser Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I'll keep mentioning it, but 1992 WCW Saturday Night is so good. They did a masterful job building up kicking Zbyszko out of the Dangerous Alliance. The 2/3 falls match with Anderson/Zbyszko/Eaton v. Steamboat/Rhodes/Koloff gets a lot of time and is great, with a great miscommunication at the end setting up the finish. Paul E gets pissed off and wants to fight Zbyszko, Larry gets back in his face and Anderson IMMEDIATELY steps in to back him off of the boss. And we haven't even gotten to A&E breaking his fucking arm yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 There's a Raven vs Marty Jannetty match from the 5th episode of Thunder that is a ton of fun actually they brawl around the entrance, Jannetty fends off inference from The Flock. And it was pretty good in ring to boot. Jannetty in WCW was random but also really cool, he wrestled Dean Malenko on the 3rd episode of Thunder. Also on the 5th episode of Thunder there is a Lucha Trios featuring Silver King, Vilano IV & Vilano V vs Super Chalo, Lizmark Jr & Chavo Guerrero Jr that is tight as fuck. If your a fan of random WCW Lucha you will like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
