I think this means you win the thread

You'd think he'd be at least a little hip to be over that sort of thing. Sad.

Actually he wore purple after blue, then went to pink before going back to the blue in late '93.

Ugh, brainfart.

Once someone is turned heel and is wearing baby blue trunks, it's a sign they are on their way out. One I can think of off the top of my head is Don Muraco, I think there are others. I first heard about it on one of Honky Tonk Man's shoots.

Has anyone brought up the curse of the baby blue trunks yet?

Parents took me and my brother to this show, but I don't remember being deterred by the no-shows. So, of course, we didn't ask for the refund and went anyway. We got a free B&W poster on the way out, probably from 1990. Papa Shango scared the crap out of us. Sadly I can't remember any of the matches on the card, but I do remember it ended with a battle royal won by Earthquake. Dad took us to this one, sunday matinee. Taker/Yoko had everybody going, and was really the first time I remember a crowd getting hot for a match. Sister and her husband took us to this one. I remember the last two matches vividly, because of the Dusty finish for the tag team match. And also what happened after the cage match. Nash pointed to a kid, lifted him up and took him backstage. Thought it was cool as hell.

Turning Sting heel at ANY point is just wrong.

Listened to his WrestleMania wrap-up show with Alvarez. Is Dave a grandfather?

I don't think I'm alone when I say this and the 92 match are probably the best Post-Crockett War Games matches. The earlier match had way more fire, great showings (and way more juice), but this had enough elements in place for a good 20-minute slobberknocker. Funk, Bunkhouse and the Nasties brawling like Hell, Meng going nuts on the outside and the entire team beating down on Parker at the end. Great stuff.

So many blown opportunities here, starting with what happened the previous night with Luger babbling on about how he was going to win the belt tomorrow. On top of which, they must have been building to a Luger/Perfect feud with how the match ended but it never happened. Curt didn't appear on WWF TV again until next year's Survivor Series, by which time Lex was gone.

He could make headlines tomorrow saving children from a burning orphanage tomorrow, and I'd still call him one.

Ric Flair/Jake Roberts Mid-South 11/24/85 Really interesting how they started, Jake giving Flair the DDT before the bell and fans still screaming for it half-way through. Flair selling Jake's signature stuff like Ricky Roma was awesome to watch.

At the time it was kind of cool, but now I'm unsure if it was the right idea to have every heel to come out and help Yoko win. I'm sure it was to help solidify that Undertaker would be gone for awhile, but it made Yoko look like a weaker guy for it. 5 bonzai drops in a row could have done the job easier than what half the locker room did.

He did some filming for Terrence Malick, originally thought to be for The Tree Of Life but he wasn't in it so who knows where that footage will end up.
-
I don't either. It wasn't some insider stuff. It was just a kayfabe storyline to use against a guy whose entire gimmick is being Straight Edge. My basic problem with that part of this angle is that these kinds of complex and personal issues a lot of us face everyday is above professional wrestling's intellectual pay grade. At best, that stuff makes Jerry Springer look like Shakespeare.

Brock/Goldberg drew flies

I want to believe that's what happened, as opposed to the more obvious and ugly alternative everybody thought last night.
