JBL loves working in UK sports references - rugby, cricket, Preston North End. -
That Big E/Kallisto sequence was really cool. I'd love to see them get 5-10 minutes on Raw. Really fun match thus far.

...and my stream crashes completely. Though from the looks of Twitter, I'm not alone.

I'm up to 9 buffering pinwheels about 30 minutes into the pre-show. Shaping up to be a fun WWE Network experience tonight!

Nah, there's a super-secret vault in a sub-basement of Titan Towers, accessible only to McMahon family members (except Shane) via DNA scan. It's down there, along various other trophies - like a Catholic reliquary. His ultimate prize is Macho Man's mummified head. When Vince has a bad day, he goes down there and delivers soliloquies to it, like Ian McShane in Deadwood.

Maybe, but with the permanent free trial month, couldn't they just get this month's show and cancel right away?

So I excitedly fire up Nitro #69, from 1/6/97. First match is Glacier squashing poor Bobby Eaton, in which Glacier blew the finish by pinning Eaton too close to the ropes. Then a "Mexican strap match" between Konnan and Big Bubba. Be careful what you wish for, I guess.

They've started putting up Nitro episodes again. They're up to the first 10 or so of 1997, plus a couple random ones.

This was a lot of fun. Great limb selling by both guys - I especially liked Steamboat shaking his arm while he had Windham in a wristlock. And hopefully the brawl at the end sets up a Windham/Pillman/Austin v Dustin/Steamboat/Douglas six-man next week. On a side note, I'm sure it's a forlorn hope that WWE ever puts the Saturday Nights up on the network. Who knows how many other gems like this are out there.

Just be glad it wasn't a Foley Chef Boyardee ad. That would be grounds for "hey...wait a minute!" Foley was in those. These were just generic Chef Boyardee commercials. Was wondering, is there any kind of legal weirdness that could arise from airing old advertising like that? Maybe the opposite - the sponsorship contract says they stay in the show for re-airings/home video? It's not just an oversight - I've seen a couple Clashes that the "sponsored by" bits left in.

I was listening to Flair's podcast with Steamboat from a couple months back today and they were discussing Magnum TA, specifically his training. Apparently Ole and Buzz Sawyer used to beat the shit out of poor Magnum. Steamboat brought up something I've thought about a lot - how many potential stars did they drive away by treating trainees like this?

The Sportatorium was demolished in 2003, so the bit with Kevin was done before then. And Gary Hart died in 2008, so your time frame sounds pretty dead-on.

Here's an amazing taped promo for a Piper-Flair match in Portland:

Bix posted this channel on Twitter: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv1zjTH4qzNyfHcEya4crqw. A whole bunch of Piper promos.

Odd, because everything else he did looked like it hurt. A lot.

Man, Fink is just the best. I use the present tense because he still works for WWE, and was exiled for no apparent reason. Lillian is perfectly acceptable of course, but if you have Babe Ruth on your team, you don't bench him because there's someone younger and more attractive out there. Well, unless you're Vince, anyway.
