June 29, 201114 yr Author comment_5475480 This is actually pretty cool, as they show a video montage with different wrestlers explaining what the Lethal Lottery is.
November 3, 201212 yr comment_5518700 Surprisingly well done, yes. Just like the previous year I remember. The Battlebowl concept surely inspired WCW production people.
January 20, 201411 yr comment_5581189 Does not matter who is Rude's partner. He only needs them to wipe the sweat off his brow. Shorter and more efficient production from WCW.
February 9, 201411 yr comment_5587096 Who was hired and fired more often, Marty Jannetty in the WWF or Chris Cruise in WCW? Another montage of wrestlers explaining the Lethal Lottery and BattleBowl, but since this is the Bischoff Era we get stupid stock horror music underneath it. Once again everyone is in Pure Sports Build...except Johnny B. Badd, camping it up bigger than ever.
November 25, 20159 yr comment_5711773 I wonder who has the Battlebowl ring now? Hopefully it's in Vince's trophy room with his MSG award.
February 3, 20178 yr comment_5786899 I don't think the Nasties were in super-serious mode either, Pete. I'm not sure I liked Austin, Rude, and Knobbs being quite so dismissive of the Lethal Lottery. As we've seen before, it's possible that they'll draw a partner who decides that they'd rather have a piece of their hide, even if it costs them both a spot in Battlebowl. I thought Rude summed it up as well as could be with "Eenie-meenie-miney-moe, who's my partner? I don't know." They could have just shown that clip and saved themselves a lot of money. I liked his singles bar analogy as well. It's a shame that this concept was dumped (at least I think it was) the following year; I'd have loved to see, say, Hogan and Flair as reluctant partners. (Speaking of which, isn't it true that every single Lethal Lottery match this year had a face and a heel taking on a face and a heel? Talk about ruining an interesting concept.) Nice to see Crispy Cruiser again; even if he's only doing studio segments, it's a better gig than being the voice of some going-nowhere indy promotion in Philly, which is where I think we saw him last in the Yearbooks.
May 26, 20178 yr comment_5801927 I didn't like this that much. I get the sentiment but having Knobbs describe Battlebowl as a concept conceivably to Saggs makes no one looks good because this isn't a new concept. Then he proclaims himself as this master tag worker.
