Posted May 27, 200817 yr comment_5431695 CWA 10/11-10/18/86 This actually feels like may be mislabeled. As we may be missing a week plus feels like three shows with last getting cut off. There are three things on here that are worth considering as extras. 1) First Boy Tony interview. I don’t really think we need to put any of the Boy Tony stuff on the extras. Between Kaufman, Beauty and The Beast, and Boy Tony Memphis really ran the effeminate guy teaching you hick fans how to bathe gimmick into the ground. Plus I think it was Jimmy Hart who said “If it’s funny, it won’t draw money”…and don’t want the extras DVD to become too comedy centric (or maybe we should just do a “Funny don’t draw money” separate extra DVD). But this is the first Boy Tony interview and I had never realized that the premise of The boy Tony gimmick wasn’t just that he was an effeminate Boy George impersonator lecturing people on hygiene. But rather he’s lecturing people on hygiene as reference to pompous rock star charities. He toured with and helped Boy George with Farm Aid and Live Aid and now it's time to reach out to the Memphis fans with Fan Aid. And the lesson of Live Aid is that it isn’t enough to raise money to give them soap and pencils but you have to actually teach them how to use it. If we have to put on one Boy Tony promo I think the one where he presents himself as heel Bob Geldof is the one you put on. Other Boy Tony stuff less funny although him refering to Polo cologne as Polio got a chuckle out of me. If we put on a Boy Tony interview the first one is the one that should make it. 2) Sputnik Monroe comes out for an interview and sits in on commentary during his son’s match. I kind of think that Sputnik Monroe is an important enough historical figure that his appearance probably deserves to be an extra. I also need to see more Bubba The Bruiser Monroe as he is super stiff and carny neat. 3) Dennis Hall. Dennis Hall is an old Gulf Coast mainstay and is working the gimmick of marrying a wannabe singer Dolly Parker in Vegas and it is fucking hilarious. This isn’t really broad comedy but more like Christopher Guest character based comedy. This isn’t your Vegas heartthrob or Vegas gigolo gimmick but this is really your couple who marry in Vegas who aspire to lower level lounge act gimmick. They are dead on perfect as every couple who ever sat next to you at a $5 table in Vegas or Atlantic City. If you can picture Christopher Guest directing Eugene Levy and Jennifer Coolidge in roles of journeyman wrestler and aspiring country singer who fall in love in Vegas…that’s the gimmick they’re working. The actual Dennis Hall match is worked like how you’d picture Eugene Levy working a wrestling match constantly adjusting his comb over. This may not entertain anyone else as much as it entertained me, but figured throw it out there for consideration. The first Hall promo and the match feel like potential extras. Outside of that shows built around continuation of Sato and Goto and fire and flame fucking people up storylines. Paul Diamond delivers sad laying in bed injury interviews. Eddie Marlin tries to make the save when Sato, Goto, Tojo attack Jarrett and Tanaka. Lawler says he will give a lucky fan a crown and Dirty Rhodes smashes the crown. Also Dirty Rhodes appears to be hardway busting open jobbers above their eye. You may remember the Randy Orton v Foley thing where Orton was supposed to do some sort of carny punch where he hardway opens opponent up and Orton didn’t know how to do it. Well Dirty Rhodes knows how to do it and just busts every jobber up so it looks like they bladed Vader style directly above eye. Matches: Sato/Goto v Bryant Bros. Jeff Jarrett/Pat Tanaka v Memphis Vice Lawler v Nikita Mulkavitch Rhodes, Bass, Wright v Carman, Jamison, Johnson Big Bubba v David Haskins Excitement Incorporated (Rick Mccord, John Paul) v Keith Eric, Invader Bubba Monroe v Jim Jameson Boy Tony v Mike Murphy Big Bubba v Bryant Bros handicap match Sato, Goto, Ninja v Haskins,Tanaka, Smothers Dirty Rhodes, Don Bass v Excitement Inc.
