[1990-10-27-WWF-Superstars] Update: Rick Rude suspended indefinitely!
The interesting thing about all this is is that Percy Pringle credits Rude for getting him a meeting with Vince and J.J. Dillon that ultimately led to the Paul Bearer gig.

[1995-08-12-WCW-Saturday Night] Hulk Hogan and Vader
The cool thing about it would have been seeing him work against guys like Meng or John Tenta around that time.

[1990-04-01-WWF-Wrestlemania VI] Interview: Jake Roberts / Ted DiBiase vs Jake Roberts
Bobby Heenan had a funny story about MTM being obsessed with Barbarian's outfit. I'd imagine since she paid for a ticket, they didn't want to hype her appearance if at all so she wouldn't be bothered. Like when they were in Los Angeles some years back and Billy Corgan and a few other b or c-list celebs were in the audience.

The Steiner Brothers
How it's better (in the eyes of 1991 PWI readers) than Bret/Perfect is a bit beyond me.

Why the Luger/Sting match got PWI's MOTY is beyond me.

John Tenta
I'd never call John a slob.

Quotable Wrestling
It's going to sound terrible coming from me, but I think it was either the 2003 or 2004 when they had both Heyman and Bischoff out as people were being drafted from brand to brand. The single funniest line I'd ever heard on WWE since Heenan left was when Paul said "I liked it better when you were blind" to a girl that was drafted over to Raw (can't remember her name but I know she did an angle where she was blinded and now miraculously wasn't).

20 Years Ago - WON 11/28/88
Surely that match happened somewhere, even if it never made tape. It was a PWI Runner Up for Match of the Year in 1976. Here are pictures of it. .

[1990-10-13-WWF-Saturday Night's Main Event] Legion of Doom & Ultimate Warrior vs Demolition & Crush
Is there a handheld at all of the cage match that apparently took place around this time when both Warrior and Crush weren't able to make it?

Ted Dibiase runs the gauntlet
The Roma match is definitely from '88. The Wrestling Challenge banner is different from the one they used in '90.

John Tenta
I watched one of the UWFI tags once. It's too bad they never faced each other.

[1996-06-03-WWF-Raw] Interview: Goldust
Makes you wonder how much of it was them and how much of it was Dustin. The character is an interesting continuation of the effeminate heel, plugged into a kind of 90's pop-culture sensibility of what they were trying to touch upon, on what was aiming to be a family-friendly product more or less during this time. "Identity crisis" is a good way to put it.

The Kevin Nash delusions thread
I can't talk much shit about him at all, he actually helped my brother out of a tricky situation in Atlanta during WM a few years ago. Whatever opinion I have on his work, or indeed his opinions themselves are null and void in light of this.

They did this exact same thing nearly two years later with Tatanka I remember.

It has probably the best exit from a battle royal I've ever seen, the bump Slaughter took to the post before being thrown out.

It's pretty amazing that he'd just sort of arrived with this match, as opposed to fading into the background. It's like Vince knew this would be an important guy on the roster. Dibiase's intro is effectively more goosebump-raising because of this. I do wonder if the dark irony of the character making his debut after such a bleak day in Bret's life was lost on anyone. It was pretty damn professional for Bret to even show up, let alone have that great roll-around with Ted at the end.
