RazorbladeKiss87 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 What a fun little gem. Reading Khawk describe it on PWO had me really wanting to see it and *poof* here it is. Brought me flashbacks to some of the horrible Home Depot meetings I attended. I wish HD had been cool enough to get wrestling at the meetings. Not sure if this is better or worse than the Flintstones/Busch convention. As a negative, the Xbox interface is really bad. It took me forever to find this.

The Green Meanie Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 What the fudge is this? It's almost as bizarre as PUSH THE BUTTON. I'm also digging the "BAD GUYS" and "GOOD GUYS" signs they put up. It kind of makes me wonder what other wacky stuff Verne did that we didn't know about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the second reference to "Push the button" and I'm not sure what it refers to. Care to enlighten a fella? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Old timers like to complain about how heavily scripted promos are these days. But this Kellogg guy is up there with cue cards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Dale Gagner makes it to the network. Maybe he can launch a frivolous lawsuit for royalties. I'm going to scour the net to look for one of those swank red satin Kellogg's jackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I have many of those USA specials taped on VHS somewhere in my attic. There's a few standout matches among them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIShane Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 This week's selection includes 7 matches, most notably a 30-minute 1996 Shawn Michaels/Steve Austin dark match: https://www.wwenetworknews.com/2019/03/27/exclusive-half-a-dozen-hidden-gems-to-be-added-to-wwe-network-tomorrow-focusing-on-2019-hof-inductees-3-dark-matches-included/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 The match isn't 30 minutes Austin wrestled two other times during that taping so that 27 minute clip is filled with a lot of nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's legitimately 18 minutes with about 6 minutes of entrances (including Lothario getting a nice shout out) and the post match has Lothario trying to cut a promo over the theme music. Match is really good, probably one of my favorite 96 Shawn matches instantaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Matt and I were discussing what they might put out this week, or if they just skipped a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Ooh, I've had an unreasonable desire to see that Tito/Shango match literally since I first heard it happened. Not because I think it's likely any good, just because it being a dark match ended Tito's WrestleMania appearance streak and gave Hogan sole possession of the lead. (It's IX not VIII, BTW) Edited April 4, 2019 by Brian Fowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 A few minutes of the WMIII press conference was included in the Coliseum Video release. If you have never seen it, the interactions between Bobby Heenan and Mean Gene are incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Oh hey, the Luger with the belt segment and the Razor challenging Goldust segment are both in there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Funny thing about the Piper/Ramon interaction is that Piper indicates he was fighting when Razor was having his diapers changed, but they were only four years apart in age. EDIT: You have to go to 1984 to find the Luger footage since they messed it up. It's super surreal though. Just a total Vince mindfuck to the sheets or whoever.
