Not too many players left who debuted during the aughts decade, either.

“I gave my love a chicken…”
Dammit - you beat me to the joke.
I feel obliged to mention that the aforementioned “The Riddle Song” is quite lovely when not played for Animal House laughs; here is a Sam Cooke live version that is a mournful lullaby (this is also shortly after he lost his young son, which makes it hit heavier):

They can’t legally stop him from bringing out a fridge on a dolly to the ring every week.
I for one welcome Punk bringing Schrödinger's belt with him each week and the quantum mechanics it leads us to ponder, until he finally opens the mini-fridge and sends us randomly into a multiverse wherein some have the belt in the fridge and in others the fridge is empty.

Which Jade WWE debut idea is worse:
1. Once more interrupting Cody - “Yet again I’ve found you!” leading to a groan-inducing Brandi run-in.
2. 4-month 50/50 feud with Nia Jax.

there are people who double dip on tickets by buying the cheapest possible ticket but then hitting the secondary market and getting a better seat at a cheaper price from someone who can no longer attend, because the double dip would still work out better price-wise than if they had bought the better seat at the initial value.
I am poised to do exactly this for Grand Slam, except that it won’t be the secondary market - I bought a $30 upper deck seat; the loge level was originally priced at $98, but they’ve now begun dropping it to $31.

We watched WWF Championship Wrestling on a Philly UHF station, then held the rabbit ears antenna just so to re-watch it in half-snowy quality on WOR-9 to see the different house show interview inserts, and that’s the way it was and we LIKED it!

have any wrestlers ever ended up on the No Fly List
That’s only been in existence since 2001; much of the horrendous flight behavior pre-dated it.

On a semi-punk related note, one of the best times I've ever had at a show was seeing the Rollins Band and having some dude drunkenly singing "Liar" in my face.
This reminded me that the only time I ever went into a mosh pit was during a Rollins Band show in 1992 in Florida while they were playing “Tearing”, which was the equivalent of throwing myself into a cement mixer.

King Parsons and Keith Larson get interview time. Keith Larson tests the limits of letting literally anybody on the show get interview time (I can see the reason why they'd put almost anybody on TV to do interviews because how would you know which people are good at interviews if not). Parsons is very disappointed in Leroy Brown and he's better on the mic than Keith Larson.
I think the deal was that these jobber/JTTS interview segments were largely for the studio audience and would be replaced by insert ads for the local market house show.

Jungle Boy has to shave his head. I think that’s a fair punishment and future incident prevention.
They should use “Cry Me a River” as a jumping-off point for a punishment gimmick change for Perry to a moody 1950s-era torch song singer. Can he play a trumpet? Smash out his teeth, and baby you got a Chet Baker 2100 AD stew going.

Emi doing her Freddie thing and bumping Karen Jarrett would’ve popped me, and probably 80,000 people.
Emi braining Karen with the Freddie Mercury broken mic stand would work nicely here.

Also makes me wonder what they'd have done with him creatively had he returned as rumoured around Survivor Series 96. There doesn't seem to be anything obvious.
If Bret’s return had fallen through, I think a 1996 Savage would have been useful slotted in against Michaels and/or Austin.
I also think a 1998 Savage coming in as a heel to be Vince’s corporate champion against Austin would have been fun.

Thing is when did it stop being the A show? The first several months of Raw is basically Superstars except it's WACKY. You got Kim Chee chasing around Kamala around the Manhattan Center. Hulk Hogan doesn't make an appearance until 2 months in. Superstars has basically the same if not more important stuff happening.
It's a blurry transition, but probably whenever the beginning/payoff of angles would occur on Raw more than on Superstars.

Dax getting increasingly frustrated with all of RVD's flips would be a fun bit.

This is where the territories are sorely missed. Yes, some of the older guys like a Nelson Royal or Ernie Ladd would stick around cause they're either booking and/or have a set home life and planted their roots in that area. It's best that vets who probably should be part timers move around and utilize their time remaining in the business efficiently.
The expenses would be crazy, but imagine if WWE divided the country into six regions (Northwest, Southwest, Midwest, Midsouth, Southeast, Northeast), distributed their roster evenly into those regions. Those rosters only tour within those regions. Raw and Smackdown are taped weekly in each region (six separate regional Raws/Smackdowns - there’s that crazy expense I mentioned) and aired on USA/Fox only within their region. The World Champion and Tag Champions tour all the regions, spending 1-4 weeks at a time in each depending on storyline. As time goes on, various veterans come and go from region to region.

I keep picturing Heyman looking out for his own interests and quietly arguing against every proposed title change with “where does the story go?”

Well, TA’s first mistake was fighting in a southpaw stance when he’s right-handed.

To me, Schiavone is someone who is just unintentionally bad at maintaining friendships, and Heenan from all accounts was someone who cherished his friends and expected the same consideration in return.

I don’t think that anyone here has posted yet about the Immaculate Grid site run by the Baseball/Football/Basketball/Hockey-Reference folks; there is a daily grid game for each sport. Fun and addictive as hell.
