I think El Gigante debuted before him.

The Phanatic is also boo-proof.

Very weird to see non MDM Ted in a (very rickety) WWF ring during this time. Had the MDM vignettes started airing yet? This is from 6/7/87.
I don't believe so - in the ensuing tag match, he turns heel against Sam Houston and that was that.

I want "I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!!!" vs "This is MY yard"
with the match held under "I'm not finished with your yard" stipulations, where the loser performs complimentary landscaping services to the winner for 30 days.

Andre got immediate video package/Hall of Fame induction upon death, no?

Pretty much. They won 59 in 1972, so yeah, that's pretty crazy.
Yeah; it's a 12.0 WAR season for Carlton - for perspective, it was the highest for a pitcher since 1920, and only surpassed since then one time (Gooden in 1985 had a 12.2).

He never would have done it, but there would have been good money in old-man Dusty turning heel against new champ Magnum out of jealousy/envy.

I've always hated that "golly, I pinned myself giving a back suplex!" finish, but at least they had Pedro kicking off the turnbuckles to help explain it. Still, I think "Koloff goes for the Kneedrop of Doom but misses; Morales hits Bombs Away/whatever his finisher was" would have been better.

Yokozuna, by a couple months younger than Taker.
The Rock was also 26 when he won his first title at Survivor Series 1998.

So a Dumpster match between Braun and Kalisto has been announced for RAW
I want to see the cliched "surprise return from injury" of Roman Reigns, except he inadvertently spears Kalisto and himself into the dumpster when Braun moves out of the way. Then Braun can roll the dumpster off the stage, then pushes the dumpster over, then hits it with an ambulance, then pushes the ambulance over onto the overturned dumpster.

I want to see that Taker/Tito match where Tito beats him with 3 piledrivers.
That's on YouTube; Tito does hit 3 piledrivers but then smacks Taker with the urn to pin him.

I love those moments where one wrestler ceases to obey the laws of Wrestling Physics. Another that I remember is in the Jake Roberts / Rick Martel blindfold match at Wrestlemania, where Jake gets Irish-whipped and just runs off in a different direction after the rebound, leaving Martel bent over waiting for a backdrop that never arrives.
-
I wonder if that means he has no UCL, like RA Dickey.

My favorite little flourish of his run against Savage was after he lost on SNME, and Steamboat consoled him by sifting through the pile of turnbuckle stuffing and pretending to make it snow.

Suggestions for hand-sign for managers to use to signal for IBB:
- Four fingers in "Live Long and Prosper" Spock-grip.
- Four Horseman-style four fingers while saying "Wooooooooooooooooo". I'd also settle for the videoboard/PA to play an accompanying "Woooooooooooo".

Here's one of the Nikita-saves-Ivan moments (though I think they did more than one):

I can't believe how good Bradshaw is as a host/interviewer. He's well-prepared, asks good follow-ups to propel the conversation, and only interrupts as a method of preventing the guest from drifting off the point.

Right now, the Raw and SD champs are Kevin Owens and Bray Wyatt. Has there been a time, during either brand split, when both champions were so far from the perceived Vince McMahon ideal?

In the Ghettoblaster GIF.....is that Ultimate Warrior on the apron? And is that Dusty Wolfe being GhettoBlastered? Why would Warrior be teaming with Dusty Wolfe against Bad News and whomever Bad News's partner was? What event WAS this??
It's Jim Brunzell; it's at Survivor Series 1988.

Rick Rude was a Mid-South jobber who was part of a trade to Memphis to help freshen up both territories (Rock n Roll Express, Midnight Express & Jim Cornette went to Mid-South, Rude, Jim Neidhart and Masaio Ito went to Memphis.) And seriously, what a one-sided trade...
He was in Memphis in 1984 who joined the First Family where his most famous angle was Jerry Lawler piledriving his valet after a match. Rude eventually turned face, and in what few shows I've seen, he was awful at it, because he still sounded like a totally smug dick. He turned face in Memphis in the fall and was back as a heel in Florida by that winter.
Considering how the territories were in the process of drying up or being crushed by Vince, it's fairly impressive that Rude managed to hit so many different places in such short of a time (Mid-Atlantic, Vancouver, Georgia, Mid-South, Memphis, Florida, World Class, Crockett NWA and WWF, all in less than 5 years).
Here's the earliest Rude jobber match I could find:
