Edit To keep myself out of trouble, I'm referring to the expression on her face.  She looks like she'd rather be anywhere else.  Someone needs to pair this gif with the one of Billy Corgan sitting in some sort of train car (roller coaster, maybe) and looking miserable.

Are you talking about her face or her umm...nevermind.

It's still Turkey Time. I think that was the only scene I saw from that film, one day randomly airing on some network while changing channels. Didn't take long to keep changing.

I wonder if this is the one they talked about in Talk Is Jericho's Talk'n Shop episode.  There was a helluva wager for whether Braun could do a kip up.

[Technico Support]

Assisted kip-ups are almost as bad as "hold my leg" enzugiris.

I tried to find someone helping Super Porky do it but apparently if you search for that, you just get a bunch of gifs I made for SegundaCaida:

We all miss the days of WCW weapons being bad props. Foam 2x4s, breakaway wooden chairs, pre-cut tables. The glory age. Did Sting's bat ever bend cause it was secretly made of like plastic?

[Michael Sweetser]

REAL workers use bars of soap as knux, anyway.

was that what it always was that Flair and Regal used as knux?! I always assumed it was rubber

[Ryan]

Regal used real knux and would KO his opponents legit for realism's sake. Or so I assume to make him more menacing in my own mind.

[Ramsey]

I had an old timer tell me that everyone had a different "knucks recipe" but they usually ended up being wire or tinfoil bent into shape and wrapped in athletic tape. With that said, Kevin Sullivan's old "golden spike" looked like it could have been something of the battery operated variety.

In his book, Bret said that Norman Charles, one of the Fabulous Kangaroos he worked with, just wrapped up a bunch of napkins together really tightly and put tape around it to make "knucks".

I remember Steiner's foam pipe bending a bunch. I don't recall Sting's bat bending but I do remember that Starrcade match he had with Luger where Elizabeth hit him in the face with it. She swung for the goddamn fences that time and I remember thinking, "plastic or not, that had to fucking hurt." She swung that bat about as hard as she could and hit him square in the face.

[Kevin Wilson]

Kana's young trainee Konami had her first deathmatch back in July. I love how 'hard' she is trying to look, as if Jun Kasai of all people is intimidated.

Not sure about Regal, but Flair definitely did - the very first house show I ever went to in 1992, Flair KOed Savage with "knux" and pinned him to apparently win the WWF title; Hebner found it after the match and DQed him.  It was very obviously a bar of soap in Hebner's hand - a local news station reported on the show, with video of the match, and even they called it out.

[Ryan]

Reading up on knux, they actually suck if you're trying to KO someone, they're meant more to tear tissue and break bones. Real loaded gloves or weighted-knuckled gloves do a vastly better job of knocking someone out. Kind of like the bareknuckle vs boxing glove concept. Tabe could elaborate nicely on that one.

[Michael Sweetser]

To be fair, you don't need to knock the guy out, just down long enough to get the three-count.  And most people don't know the specifics - they just know that brass knux add power.
