May 26, 201510 yr comment_5670174 I want to know more about Eddie Gilbert no-showing because he didn't want to be part of the Varsity Club. I took a quick look through Observers and couldn't find that. The main thing I found was Dave praising how great the gimmick was and what it had done for Rotunda.

Yeah it was reported by Dave and others at the time.....Varsity Club wasn't the main reason why he quit but it was on the list.....Eddie was frustrated for months on how he was being booked and rightfully so.
May 27, 201510 yr comment_5670521 Someone upload some of this Mr. Donnie shit to Youtube. When they were first hyping the Brother Love Show at SummerSlam, Okerlund went out of his way to say that Love's unannounced guest was "someone who had never been at Madison Square Garden before." Yes, we know that's not strictly true with Flair's case, but it got as far as announcing on TV that they had something a bit more special than Jim Duggan.
