[1996-01-15-WWF-Raw] Billionaire Ted
Man these get more and more hateful as they go on. Especially the Mean Gene stuff. I didn't think he left on bad terms?

[1996-01-10-FMW] Aja Kong vs Combat Toyoda
I agree that this got better after the brawling. Aja just killed poor Combat. The stuff after the match was a little weird. I thought Aja would have attacked her again?

[1996-01-04-NJPW-Wrestling World 1996] Nobuhiko Takada vs Keiji Muto
The best part of the match was the aftermath with Hashimoto and Koshinaka. I'm guessing they were challenging Takada for a shot at the belt?

[1996-01-04-NJPW-Wrestling World 1996] Vader vs Antonio Inoki
This ruled. It was more a war than a wrestling match. Loved Vader punching a bloody Inoki right in the face while lying down. The Entrance was just classic Inoki as was the finish.

[1996-01-04-NJPW-Wrestling World 1996] Jushin Liger vs Koji Kanemoto
This felt more like a ROH/X Division match than anything. The constant kickouts got annoying but I thought the match was good. Kanemoto's injury fake was great and I liked Liger's multiple palm strikes. I agree the lack of heat kinda hurt it.

[1996-01-01-WWF-Raw] Billionaire Ted
Was this Russo's first on screen camera debut? And who played Billionaire Ted? He looks familiar.

[1996-01-01-WWF-Raw] Smoking Gunns vs Psycho Sid & 1-2-3 Kid vs Razor Ramon & Savio Vega vs Owen Hart & Yokozuna (Raw Bowl)
It happened in 97 also. Although it was on Superstars and they weren't wearing football uniforms. I think it was between The Nation, Furnas and Lafon, The Godwins and Owen/Davey. Good way to start out the set. Lawler was on a roll with his commentary.

General thoughts about 1996
Got my discs today and looking forward to start watching. 96 was my first full year watching wrestling and I haven't seen a lot of the WWF stuff since then.

Comments that don't warrant a thread 2010-2011
I like that TNA mentioned they were trending on Twitter and about 30 minutes later, Matt Hardy debuts and instead of Hardy trending, Tyler Reks is. I guess people though since Matt now has a similar hairstyle like Reks, they are the same person? It's pretty funny. This deserves a Cageside Seats post.

Forgotten Good Workers/"Hey I Thought This Guy Was Supposed To Suck?"
I'm surprised Dylan didn't mention Tommy Rich. Reading the old observers and message board things, he gets a bad rap for being fat and out of shape and no good. After watching mid 90's USWA, he was easily one of the best parts of that era along with Lawler and Brian Christopher. His feuds with Jeff Jarrett in 93 and PG-13 in 95-97 were pretty great. Plus his work with Tracy Smothers and the FBI in ECW might be some of the best stuff ever. Easily top 10 manager of all time.

2010: The year where news stories were a lot more interesting than the wrestling
I don't see how the move to Syfy hurt Smackdown? It's obvious Vince stopped caring after the second week. The injuries and the addition of Michael Cole on the show hurt it more.

Most of Low Ki's time in FCW was on the injured list. Kinda reminds me of Brett Dibaise but at least he's a Dibiase.
