    It's a tactical suspension on Punk's part. Ratings are about to take a hit as the major Sports season starts, and the autumn TV premieres also begin. Him disappearing from TV right as the ratings fall, that means he can say "Look, I'm the draw here!".

    It's like how Hogan used to time his WCW disappearances quite similarly.

    Also kind of like how Nash reminisces that Shawn loved having summers off, he’d fail a drug test or get an injury.

  2. Terry Funk was “over the hill” (his words), “middle aged and crazy” virtually my entire life.

    Im now middle aged and its hard to process living in a world where Terry won’t pop up in a cameo to put heat on an angle anymore. That night before Rumble 97 Shotgun Saturday night from San Antonio (with a young and hungry Stone Cold on color) was fantastic TV.

    Now that I think about it....Andre makes an appearance in World Class, and they do a mini battle royale where one of the Freebirds or Bundy ends up winning. Like Andre is thrown out mid way.

    Also, I do agree that early Demolition is weird cause you keep forgetting Darsow is the other one. So it essentially is Krusher Krushchev as the other Demo.

    Andre eliminated himself after stepping over to go after Michael Hayes who interfered on Gordy’s behalf. That was from early 1983 on WCCW TV not long after the Freebirds turn.

    I was disappointed they didn't bring up the Greatest Cage Match of All Time too but really they only had so much space and you can't get into every angle he was a part of. Like the Mr. Wrestling II deal, for example. 

    I have no idea why a Jimmy Jam Garvin angle would have done big business though, him saying "we were about to blow the territory apart" is laughable. Placeholder at best.

    If my memory serves, it was indeed intended to be placeholder to give Maggie May something to do until Starrcade where he’d have another I Quit with Nikita.
