March 31, 201312 yr Author comment_5540474 I've said it before, but using Piper as a surrogate to make the Virgil feud something worthy of its build was such a great idea. Kudos to Vince and Patterson for going in that direction.
April 3, 201312 yr comment_5540807 Yea Piper really does carry the Virgil side in this, plus he gives Virgil the rub.
April 5, 201312 yr comment_5541108 Sherri's dressed for a wedding, for some reason. Another strong interview from Ted.
May 1, 201312 yr comment_5543533 The cameraman lusting of Sherri continues as we get a close up of her legs. Piper has in his contract now that he can’t physically go after DiBiase while doing commentary. Sherri doesn’t believe in putting her money in the bank.
July 6, 201312 yr comment_5550118 Weird get up for Sherri and I continue to be impressed with how involved she is. Good development in drawing out Virgil feud.
May 24, 201510 yr comment_5669696 As great as Sherri can be on the mic, we don't get much of that here, which kind of makes her expensive eye candy. Teddy more than makes up for it with a strong promo on Virgil and Piper. I wish the announcers wouldn't talk over the promos. Not only is it counterproductive and disrespectful, but you can't hear either them or the guy being interviewed when they do it; it's all just a great big mishmash of sound. Surely Vince and his production people know better than this. A bit of a surprise that we get a standard Mean Gene interview rather than an edition of The Funeral Parlor. As I look over the '91 Superstars results, I notice that they seem to go back and forth between Okerlund interviews and Parlor segments; with rare exceptions, if something big happens to a face that doesn't physically involve Taker, it's Mean Gene doing the interview (Quake attacking Andre, Liz accepting Savage's marriage proposal). The one exception was later in the year when Piper confronted Heenan just before Flair's arrival, and I'm guessing that was because Gene would have had to "remind Piper of his contract", whereas Percy wouldn't bother, thus allowing the segment to proceed more quickly. We'll see how right I am in the months ahead. An observation: It's easy to remind your fellow broadcasters to "keep their temper" when they're doing the commentary next to you in a studio in Stamford. I know Vince, Piper, and Savage are trying to maintain the illusion that they're in the arena, but once you know they aren't it makes touches like the one I just mentioned laughably absurd.
