[1996-01-21-WWF-Royal Rumble] Royal Rumble
A long stretch early in the Rumble sees no viable babyfaces in the ring and so the crowd turns Vader face because he's kicking everyone's ass. Owen and Shawn ignore each other despite coming in back to back on the heels of the concussion angle. They even team up to beat on Barry Horowitz. All the special attractions lasted 3 mins or less except Dory jr. who they wanted to use as a talent broker for All Japan guys. Ahmed and Razor should have been entered, if only to help the roster depth.

[1996-01-22-WWF-Raw] Vader vs Savio Vega
When Jack Doan was powerbombed, my mouth fell open and I let out an audible "Holy Shit!" at its stiffness. Tremendous angle.

[1996-01-15-WWF-Raw] Razor Ramon and Goldust
The Goldust interview with Vince earlier is quite the time capsule. Vince says most men are homophobic, GD talks about Vince's erection and Lawler uses the word "queer".

[1996-01-08-WWF-Raw] Shawn Michaels Press Conference
The press "applauding" for Shawn made my eyes roll.

[1996-01-08-WWF-Raw] Billionaire Ted
Eric taking tons of shots at the WWF in response to this skit a week earlier made me smile as I felt they really got under his skin. I didn't find these over done at the time, but I can see the argument now.

If Bischoff is going to take pot shots every week, why not fire back? Otherwise your just the nerd being bullied forever.

[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)
After a month or so of bad RAWs this was a heck of little match to get 1996 kicked off. The puns were rough to listen to. Then we get more from Doc during a "Halftime" report.

[1995-12-27-WCW-Starrcade '95] Sting vs Kensuke Sasaki
I found the booking to be a bit odd as New Japan headliner Chono is beaten (by submission no less) in a matter of minutes and then Mr, Saito gets a protective DQ loss. Saito and Badd was much better than I was expecting.
