  1. 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.
  2. The cool thing about it would have been seeing him work against guys like Meng or John Tenta around that time.
  3. Probably the only time a genuine A-lister (at the time) was ever noted at one of these things. That aside, the Jake promo is probably one of the best things he's ever done. The match was okay, probably most notable for me was when the crowd did the wave.
  4. 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.
  5. How it's better (in the eyes of 1991 PWI readers) than Bret/Perfect is a bit beyond me.
  6. Why the Luger/Sting match got PWI's MOTY is beyond me.
  7. I'd never call John a slob.
  8. 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).
  9. 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. .
  10. You can be disqualified for beating up a manager?
  11. Is the Kerry Von Erich ET special on the 93 yearbook? I seem to recall them doing a segment on him after he died.
  12. The Roma match is definitely from '88. The Wrestling Challenge banner is different from the one they used in '90.
  13. I watched one of the UWFI tags once. It's too bad they never faced each other.
  14. Please tell me that exchange is on YouTube somewhere lol.
  15. It was. And they didn't really have too many matches in WCW that I can recall. Against each other, that is.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. They did this exact same thing nearly two years later with Tatanka I remember.
  19. 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.
  20. This was an interesting concept, but it felt a little rushed and too obvious about babyface/heel. Would have been more interesting if they did a combination of this, and what they did in '95 with the wild card match.
  21. 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.
