BEN! Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 "Where's the beef?" was pretty legit. I still have no idea who Herb was. The same WrestleMania with two burger chain characters. Vince was like 40 back then and still had his finger on the pulse of pop culture. I can't imagine if he was 40 today and having to watch Tik Tok videos and scan Instahoe pages looking for what passes for a celebrity in 2019.

Speaking of souvenirs, didn't he get given one of the tag titles by the Nasty Boys to hang onto and never gave it back? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this while he was still paying off the IRS? IN FACT is Willie Nelson's appearance at WM what prompted IRS to show up in the WWF? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I will always remember Mr. T for his Match at Starrcade 1994, with his pyjamas on and getting shit on by Kevin Sullivan with the Bonus idiocy of Dave Sullivan losing his Santa hat and his pants...

My pick goes to Clara Peller as "guest timekeeper". She was only there to yell "WHERE'S THE BEEF" and she screamed it into a dead mic. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bootycutie69 is here and she's living her best life at WrestleMania!" I feel like the Divas era was about 15 years too early. Some of these women would have been good recruits when looking the part was a bigger factor than actual wrestling ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP Steve Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Out of the blue this morning, John Allen on WFMU played a track by Zoogz Rift. Talk about a blast from the RSPW past. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the pic thread at times go way beyond the point of "Settle down" and firmly into "I should just view this stuff on my phone so my boss doesn't fire me" territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peck Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Do you guys ever look at your day-to-day illnesses like a wrestling program/angle? For example, I've been dealing with bronchitis the past two weeks. The initial onset is kinda like when the monster heel Pearl Harbor's the babyface from behind. The first week is just a complete beatdown. You're Ricky Morton. Finally you decide to go to the doctor who does the arm-check three times to make sure you're not dead and then gives you medicine for the hot tag/babyface comeback. The next few days you're fighting back but still struggling to knock the hoss down off his feet until you finally emerge victorious and the disease gets its comeuppance which everyone wants to see. These drugs are good. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
