  1. I guess that certainly makes sense if he was legit from south Georgia or living in like north Florida where what he was getting paid (which likely wasn't much) didn't give him enough motivation to come back. Again though, it's still strange for him to bolt like that after being booked strongly for an entire month. At least lose the Beat the Champ status on TV. Damn, I guess Bad Boy Billy Black don't do no jobs. I am noticing a trend here in 1995 where people work 1 or 2 SMW tapings then quit. First Eddie Gilbert a few weeks before his passing and then Billy Black. When it rains, it pours....
  2. Speaking of SMW, my 1995 continued on as I watched the 3/18/1995 episode for SMW. It may be the most random and also unintentionally entertaining hour of wrestling. First off, Bullet is strangely missing from the show. I am guessing that's going to be explained next week or he just failed to make it in. Either way, I think it was a SMW requirement to have Bullet Bob all over the goddamn show. Second, this is the beginning of the Undertaker vs. Gangstas stuff and New Jack once again proves he is the promotional MVP by his amazing sell of this announcement of the Undertaker coming in. The return and inclusion of Killer Kyle in the Gangstas is weird, but whatever. I want ALL OF THIS. Ok, now that said, it does feel like the promotion is not on a death march as it is they are stuck in a serious rut. God bless the dead, but Buddy Landell is trying several different acts and none of it is working. Ole's kid disappeared after getting a push. Al Snow and Unabom are basically doing what Candido and Brian Lee did the previous year right down to Snow doing commentary while Unabom is wrestling 2-on-1. DWB is stuck in the Landell Vortex of Mediocrity™. RnR Express are somehow feuding with Al Snow and Unabom but also feuding with the Gangstas. However, since Undertaker is a "real" star, a WWF guy is basically taking their place along with Smothers against the latter. Bobby Blaze is SMW champ just so they could get the title off Lawler and also get a hometown pop beating both Lawler and Landell the same night. Except now it's weird to have an enhancement talent being your main champ unless you've already done the pre conditioning ECW did with Whipwreck where his gimmick is he takes ass whippings and backdoors into a win. And oh yeah, I am going to need someone to explain Bad Boy Billy Black showing up in SMW, getting a big push for 3-4 weeks, winning the Beat the Champ TV title over Boo Bradley, and then apparently walking out of the promotion. Has Cornette ever explained what happened? I saw that he was one of those guys who worked from time to time in Japan, but he doesn't have another match again until early 1996. Was he hurt?* Did Cornette not have enough money to afford the services of one Bad Boy Billy Black? Here, Killer Kyle replaces him on the show against Boo Bradley and apparently that's the last of Billy Black. WHY DIDN'T HE FINISH THE STORY?! Now I don't even get a payoff for this one guy carrying a bag around with this mysterious creature for weeks like a Dollar Store Jake "The Snake" Roberts. *Prior to Boo Bradley vs. Killer Kyle, New Jack exclaims the reason for the substitution is that Bad Boy Billy Black "was taking a shower, slipped, and fell in his own tobacco spit". I am guessing that's just going to have to suffice as my answer for right now.
  3. Amorim gave her a jiu-jitsu lesson she ain't ever gonna soon forget.
  4. The NWO angle morphed into something else that was entirely different than what it began as. I don't know if you can compare it to the Invasion. That and the first several months of it, there was enough control of it where it was one of the best things WCW ever did from a creative standpoint. That's not anything you can say about the WWF Invasion angle in 2001.
  5. I am a Bret vs. Austin mark, but Shawn and Austin had a HEATER at King of the Ring 1997 (Shawn literally takes a bump for Austin every 5 seconds...it's absurd). It may not be THE Match of the Year especially since Shawn's 1997 included the first Cell match and the finish was whatever so both guys could be protected. However, had Shawn not been in terrible shape mentally and physically for the Mania match the next year, THAT (the rematch) would have been Austin's best match. Maybe Shawn's as well.
  6. "...He was also tight with his mama." was the line of the episode. Maybe the series. Buff's dad, given his local celebrity status, probably had a family across town that nobody knew about. He talks about his wife and kids in such a casual way that it's almost complete detachment. Even the way a near death experience is mentioned is all detachment. Then again, based on the person he married, maybe they as a family had just learned how to compartmentalize EVERYTHING.

  9. No, they wore them up until the logo change in 1999ish which is the era I was referring to. The gimmick cameraman Shawn beats up at Badd Blood is wearing that jumpsuit IIRC. Oh I believe Austin dresses up as one during Heat before a PPV in 1998 when Vince foolishly locks himself in a cage and he is dressed like that.
  10. Shush! He has more decorative paper weights than us.
  11. Call me when Villanova levels up and gets up there with the big boys like University of Phoenix and Southern New Hampshire University. THEY GOT COMMERCIALS!
  12. One of my biggest laughs listening to What Happened When is one of the earlier episodes Conrad shouting, "PUT ON SOME GODDAMN PANTS, JACKIE!" as the floor cameraman from behind is basically shooting an upskirt shot of him wearing the tiniest jorts ever and the hairiest legs. There is no way in hell he would have got away with that look in WWF. He would have gotten the obligatory WWF shirt and black pants every cameraman had to wear. In WCW, Jackie Crockett was wearing ANY damn thing he wanted. Especially the early years.
