the bobby talk is sooo funny and revealing .... I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH .....i hope the rest of the world in the new year loves you as much as i love you because .... YOU DESERVE IT
Oh man. That's a good story. TBS used to every once in a blue moon, run WCW All Nighters on Saturday night. I think it would start at around 11 pm and run until 6 or so in the morning. I think the Brain cat face came from the last one they did. They had all the commentators at like a slumber party or something talking about the matches that were shown. Tony, Brain, Tenay, Gordon Solie, Chris Cruise maybe. Several of those guys. Mean Gene too. Anyway, throughout the night, they did silly stuff and eventually Heenan passed out so they drew on him and made him look like a nice little kitty. Wrestling is amazing.
I THINK it's from a TBS "up all night" thing from the late 90s. they used to air a taped nitro an hour or so after the live nitro, I think this is one of those episodes.
Brain was absolutely sloshed by the main event. Good lord. Like, we got to listen to him go from angry at the beginning, to buzzed, to drunk, to hammered. Better storytelling than the matches.
Spare a thought for poor Tony Schiavone who had to get through this show with drunk Heenan on one side and crazy Dusty on the other, all while dressed like... like that...
I know that people give WCW era Schiavone a lot of shit (not so much now in AEW with his career renaissance), but considering that he had to deal with all of this and THEN having to put up with Mark Madden in the later years, I can't blame him for being fed up with everything.
That's because being the barber is the only thing he can portray himself as. He is so type casted into that persona that no one else can see him as anything as that.
Im not kidding you how cluesless i was that the disciple was brutus. I mean the guy was always around hogan how did i not know it was hogans famous dingleberry
I know EXACTLY what you mean. for the past 2 years or so, I have been on this weird wrestling journey where I am watching the 90s era pro wrestling again through adult eyes, and one of the most fascinating things I experience is realizing that time was definitely different when I was a kid. I saw Gorilla Monsoon announce a Hardy Boys match in the 90s.. and those were two different generations. I might see someone tag teaming with someone else that I thought were entire decades apart, and it feels like im watching some alternate reality.
Beefacake deserved EVERYTHING he got that night at Hog Wild 96...He was the Masked Man in 1994 clubbing Hogan from behind and attacking him Is Hogan just supposed to forget and forgive him? NOPE
@@lezlethal in kayfabe, the Booty Man who gets beaten up by the nWo here at Hog Wild 96 is not the same person as the Disciple. As far as I remember Booty Man and Hogan never made up in storyline. In reality, both the Booty Man and the Disciple are played by Ed Leslie, better known as his WWE character Butcher The Barber Beefcake. Ed Leslie and Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan) used to be very close friends until a few years ago.
@@namikstudios Actually, he was outed by Piper in a promo a couple of weeks after debuting as the Disciple. Was this a shooting from the artificial hip Piper moment? Perhaps, as Piper had done a similar "goof" by revealing that Samba Simba was Tony Atlas back when the WWF didn't (usually) acknowledge past gimmicks. So, if the plan was to kayfabe separate the two, then Piper ruined it. Later, following the OWN debacle, it was made pretty clear that Ed Leslie was the Disciple for the few remaining viewers who had not yet put two and two together. Now, an explanation could be that Hogan thought Leslie was not "ready" for the nWo, that he was still too Booty Man or Clipmaster, and needed to be "improved" starting with some tough love at Hog Wild. There's a whole untold story about Ed having a dark side - he was a heel stripper before being a barber as Beefcake and later a "vicious" heel as the Butcher - and much like Hogan (another former heel who frequently went back to his heel side when losing his cool as a face) needed to keep that dark side in check. Hollywood Hogan was Hogan giving in to his inner heel after years of holding it back and the Disciple was Hogan bringing back Leslie's Butcher-era evilness, but improved. Now we only need to fit the Yapapi stuff in there.
He was incredibly over in those early WWF years, so it was easy to make that mistake. Little did we know it was all hot air and pissing on the first class airplane bar.
Look, I was in the same boat. I also though Beefer was the next big thing, the unsung hero, the midcarder that could. I think we need a "Brutus Beefcake Fan in the late 80's/early 90's when still a child" support group.
@@KomradeKrusher I still remember how my jaw dropped at him beating Mr.Perfect at WM VI. I was overjoyed and legitimately shocked as I never thought they'd let him beat Perfect who had just been in a feud with Hogan.
God I love this podcast. It hones in on the three funniest things in wrestling, Dusty Rhodes, Lord Alfred and Les Kellett’s massive fucking hands. I would pay Mark Haynes to do Dusty Rhodes impressions if he were to be available for birthday parties.
Hogan: *calls 911 for a car accident * Hogan's account of the story: I called 911, but time was running short, so I punched a hole through the roofs of the cars, tore it like my t-shirt before a match, and pulled the victims out. But then the Grim Reaper showed up, saying he'd come to take, and I said "that doesn't work for me, brother". So I gave him the big boot, a leg drop, and performed CPR on the victims until the paramedics got there. The EMTs thanked me, and then I flew off to Japan to defend my IWGP title...
And Metallica was sittin right in the front row (next to the make a wish kid who just wanted to see the Hulkster one last time) and thats the night they asked Hulk to be the new bass player. Lol
@@davidlevy706 That too. But they'd say he was the sixth member because *technically* DiBiase was the money man (which was admittedly a nice play on both his Fed gimmick and Billionaire Ted) and not a member the way the rest of the group was.
The name "Syxx" has subsequently, whether to cover the blunder or not, been attributed to being the sum of the numbers in 1-2-3 Kid. And then X-Pac was a shortening of his backstage nickname "Syxx-Pac".
All the scandal regarding Hogan and Beefcake and did they/didn’t they…. All I’m reminded of every time I see a WCW video from this time is that DDP was married to Kimberley, and the fact that a guy who liked he had all the characteristics of a nightclub carpet, was married to her is mind boggling. DDP is in the conversation for top 5 salesman of all time seeing’s he sealed that deal
Oh my gosh, is this change in Hogan's booked height the reason he started saying that wrestling compressed his neck and spine so much he became 2 inches shorter?
lol just googled Michael buffer and the first thing Google thought I'd want to ask is how much he's worth and it turns out it's "over $400 million" which was wildly unexpected!
Hell I heard somewhere he gets paid like 250,000 every time he says "Let's get ready to...." Well you know the rest. Don't wanna type it here since Buffer once made a plea on Nitro for ppl to report anyone saying it so that he could sue their asses off lol....I swear that's true too.
Yeah they are still active, recently live on Fox News they "arrested" a guy, getting him in a headlock, throwing him to the ground. GA founder then claimed live on air that the guy was an illegal immigrant who had been caught shop lifting. This turned out to be completely false, no evidence he committed any crime and he was a native New Yorker. Vigilantes in red berets aren't that great really.
I’ve never seen this PPV and to hear Bobby Heenan drunk slurring his words is great and it made me laugh to hear one of the best and most professional commentators drunk and slurring. Dusty Rhodes has probably stopped speaking so much because if he’s drunk I can only imagine how bad he would be slurring with his lisp. And I don’t think scum is a too strong of a word for wrestling because at this time on WCW you couldn’t curse so calling someone scum is the most appropriate word to use when talking about a wrestler who your in a heated feud with. It’s not like today where on AEW they’ve overused the phrase “you’re a piece of shit”
It would have been hilarious if Tony tried to get in on the act and just came out with "Yeah! He's just a low down mother*cker!" and Bobby and Dusty just look at him with their jaws dropped and shaking their heads......
WOL…. That’s brother Bruti dude. AKA The Zodiac and he main-evented Star Cade brother against Hollywood Hogan dude. After the match the FBI took the brother the dude into custody because he actually was the Zodiac from another mother brother! In short, how much dude can a brother dude, if a brother could dude dude. 🎉
"I never drew a dime! Let me judge a guy who drew (at least) hundreds of thousands of dollars, who's definitely going through cancer treatments! Because we're coonts!"
Kind of. As a bonafide heel, he introduced old school heel stuff like stalling for time and leaving the ring along with jawjacking with fans. And as a face, he "turned heel" only when "pushed too far" and lost his cool. One could make a case that Hogan was repressing his old heeldom from his initial WWWF run, pushing back something that was always in him for the sake of big money.
DDP's ex, Kimberly (Page) aka The Diamond Doll. In storyline, Johnny B. Badd "won" the Diamond Doll Kimberly from DDP and "set her free" after DDP had been doing the abusive boyfriend thing and had stolen her bingo winnings. But mid-storyline (kind of) Badd is out of WCW and they replace him with Leslie who had just been outed as Hogan's spy in the Dungeon of Doom (the Zodiac gimmick was a ruse) and needed a new gimmick/something to do to justify his paycheck.
Okay a little off topic but a month before when he turns heel has it been an argument for years does Bobby Brown heating ruin it when he says but what size is he coming out for if you had been watching wrestling for years like I had been at the time no because Bobby never liked Hogan never trusted Hogan so of course he's going to say that he never liked him he never trusted him he thought Hogan was s**t in character I'm sure he respected how much money he drew
I thought they had a falling out a few years back? I’m not saying Hulk Hogan is a perfect human. He’s clearly made mistakes just like everyone else that’s ever lived but I don’t think he’s this evil monster that does no good. He had about half a dozen wrestlers that probably in all reality shouldn’t have had a job in the business past 1992 make a lot of money because they were friends with him. After I heard an interview with Eric Bischoff , the person interviewing him was asking him about wrestlers, who probably would not be there that laid into the 90s if it wasn’t for Hogan, and of course, they talked about the nasty boys, hacksaw Jim Duggan, Jimmy Hart and of course, brother Brutus. And then Erick goes on to tell the story about this event where fans were coming to meet the wrestlers and sign autographs and this was after WCW was sold, some fan convention, and he said Brutus had like all these black and white glossy photos of him and Hogan and he said that Brutus sat there and was signing Hulk’s name hours before they let fans come in. So he was charging triple the amount of money that he would’ve got if it was just a picture of him that he had signed but since it was a picture picture of Hulk and the Fot Hogan had signed it he was charging triple the amount of money. That’s just low. If Virgil did something like this, he would’ve been drug over hot coals for it.
Funny thing, Curt Henning. Six foot Three. Two hundred and fifty-seven pounds. Robbinsdale. Minnesota. A three-time All-American! Yes sir. Yes indeed. Doink beat Bret on a house show. The wheel was supposed to land on the 'The Snake Pit' match at Halloween Havoc'92. The middle of the ring would be removed, and replaced with a pit of snakes! Steve Borden said it was TOO dangerous and would nix the idea. Aurelian Smith Jr caught a jobber dancing around to his theme backstage and got to Vince, citing disrespect on the jobber's part. Now, that jobber ONLY had to explain and apologize to Jake didn't he!!? Warrior, who was hiding in a locker, overheard and some believe THIS is why he had beef with Roberts. Yes sir. Yes indeed. Bossman beat Freddy Krueger AND Leatherface in tag-team action. The match occurred in Japan, at the abandoned Takamoto Prison, and was billed as a 'Halloween Prison of Horrors' match. Vic Grimes was 'Da Baldie'. Syxx baba'd in Tammy Sytch's hold-all bag🧐 The fanny pack was the target, but he settled for the hold-all. Sunny had turned Shauns advances down, so X-Pac got his revenge. On the flip side, Skinner would baba in Jerry Lawler's crown backstage at Royal Rumble 93 as a rib. Dallas Diamond Page owned his own diamond mine, and he would scout it for talent. He took Scotty Hall from it and polished him up. Some say Bret and Anvil sabotaged the ring ropes in their title change bout against The Rockers. Shawn and Marty got to Vince but nothing could be proven🧐. Vader and Sid were 'Da Masters of da Powerbomb'. Bray Wyatt's dad was the captain of a shrimp boat and could be seen shrimping up and down the bayou. Bray would join him occasionally and preached his message all over Lafayette. Macho shanked Flair at 'Cade 95. Sonny Onoo was a black belt in Taekwondo and would face, AND BEAT Chuck Norris in martial arts exhibitions. Yes sir. Scotty Hall was 'Da Bad Guy'. Pat Patterson caught Nailz dancing around to High Energy's theme backstage and got to Owen and Koko. Owen and Koke made it to Vince's office before Nailz got them, but McMahon had big plans for Keven. Hulk couldn't let his ego go, but not through want of trying. Jo. Chyna necked Vince to win a battle royal on Raw. Sting got to Bischoff about the WCW push of one Raven. Steve didn't 'get' the Raven character. Scotty got hot and hopped back to ECW to cool off. He even tried to poach Page Falkinburg for Heyman. Cactus feuded with Sabu in Philly. The Philly street fight was their classic. Shawn didn't take to Foley at first. Mick overheard an HBK rant about him and ran out of the building. Rowdy Roddy was 'Da Pipes'. LOD vs The Powers was the classic. Lex got to Brody in the cage in the humidity of Florida. Tempers flared and THAT'S why Bruiser no sold, and THAT'S why Pfohl ran away. Fonzie confirmed it in a shoot. Tap 'Bill Alfonso shoot' and find what you seek🧐. Brutus Barber was 'Da Beefer'. Sid Eudy's favorite book was The Night of the Juggler by Willam P. McGivern. He'd read it backstage while waiting for his cue. Jimmy Del Rey worked as a stripper to pay for wrestling lessons. Rossy Ogawa was a great businessman with an even better wrestling mind. But when he got caught dancing around to the Stardom theme backstage, Bushiroad had had enough and sent him on his way. Anvil got to Virgil about doing the KKK gimmick on an independent. Virgil agreed to it, but it was still controversial. HHH would tag jobbers for real when they wouldn't comply. Percy wrote all of Undertaker's original promos. Pringle worked as a mortician and 'got' the character. Richard Rood was 'Da Ravishing One'. Raven wrote the infamous Chris Benoit promo at Starrcade 97. Chris got to Scotty backstage and asked him to write him a decent promo. Scotty inked a classic and couldn't wait to hear it before a live crowd. Chris forgot it when it came time, causing heat between the two men🧐. In Canada, Jacques Rougeau was king. He even outdrew and beat Hogan clean for the title, then danced around to Real American! The Beverleys spiked some jobber with the Shaker Heights Spike finisher. The Steiners got them back by stiffing them at the Rumble. Vince gave Hawk a dressing down after he ruined a Vader promo on heat. Tap 'Vader promo Hawk'. Hillbilly Jim was a real hillbilly. Lawler took his theatrics to a whole new level in Memphis. Terry Gene Bollea was 'Da Real American'. Harry Fujiwara was a decorated sushi chef and would cook for the BSK. Sometimes he'd spike Rodney's food with laxatives. Double J got to Chuck about taking the Sweet Chin Music at SSeries94. The two men practiced the spot for hours and even danced around to With My Baby Tonight. Vince prepared plans for a terrorist stable which would include Mahal and Ali. It was only nixed when Linda convinced him it was poor taste. Bam Bam's favorite match was with Bret on a house show. In Tokyo Japan, Masami Odate was queen. Hailing from Kamakura in the Kanagawa prefecture of Japan, she'd outdraw AND beat Alpha Female clean for the title. She'd then dance around AND goose-step to the German national anthem, adding insult to injury. Mark Callaway was 'Da Phenom'. The Steiners were shooters. Irwin Shyster hated wrestling in a suit and braces. Brian Pillman would 'rape, pillage AND plunder' the WWF. Sonny Onoo would 'crack, snapple AND pop' his opponent's legs.🧐 Candido shot on Horowitz when Barry used Chris's finishing move without calling it. Perry. Perry Saturn got hot and shot on a jobber. Vince got hot and gifted him the moppy gimmick. When Undertaker heard he was beating Hogan, clean for the title, he and Percy would dance around to Koko B Wares theme. Koke overheard and got to Vince. Mark and Percy met with McMahon, and the pair were forced to explain and apologize to Koke, ALMOST nixing the title change. The 1993 Survivor Series main event was to be an unmasking match. The Hart family was supposed to unmask the Knights and reveal them for what they were. Vince nixed it at the last minute. Bret and Owen got pissed and went looking for McMahon after the PPV. They found him in his hotel room, dancing around to Stand Back with Jimmy Del Ray and Dr. Tom Pritchard. So they joined in.
Merry Xmas, lads. Thanks for all the mostly-free entertainment.

Oh man. That's a good story. TBS used to every once in a blue moon, run WCW All Nighters on Saturday night. I think it would start at around 11 pm and run until 6 or so in the morning.

All you have to do is type
WCW ALL NIGHTER
About the 3rd or 4th video you will see the thumbnail of Heenen Passed out
I THINK it's from a TBS "up all night" thing from the late 90s. they used to air a taped nitro an hour or so after the live nitro, I think this is one of those episodes.
@@thestatementriotthe WCW All-Nighter was awesome.
There's a channel which reviews forgotten wrestling promotions and shows. They have a video on it. I'll try to find it.

Buffer: “At 6’6””
Hogan: “Is Buffer going into business for himself, brother?”
The Beefer, even though he had a dozen gimmicks, just never found that “one” after being The Barber.
He was perfect as the Disciple in the nWo, largely because he was unrecognizable. He was unrecognizable as Zodiac too but that character was silly.
The Disciple was such a filler default character 😂 it was hilarious
That's because being the barber is the only thing he can portray himself as. He is so type casted into that persona that no one else can see him as anything as that.
@@BeyondDaX Same with Ray Traylor being the Big Boss Man. He sucked when he couldn't use that gimmick.
The Booty Man was his best post-barber gimmick.
Im not kidding you how cluesless i was that the disciple was brutus. I mean the guy was always around hogan how did i not know it was hogans famous dingleberry
Is so strange to think that the NWO and the Dungeon Of Doom were going on at the same time temporarily.
It definitely feels like those two groups existed years apart

Just found your guys channel and I love it! Thanks for the hilarious reviews
Hogan used heel moves to victimize himself all the time before he used them for heat
the Jamiroquai man 😂😂 thats a better name for the Jan 6 Shaman
The cake was such a missed opportunity. The Hogan BJ explanation is never not funny but funnier when Marc recounts it
Beefacake deserved EVERYTHING he got that night at Hog Wild 96...He was the Masked Man in 1994 clubbing Hogan from behind and attacking him
Is Hogan just supposed to forget and forgive him? NOPE
Fast-forward a bit and Beefer is carrying round the Big Gold Belt for Hogan as the unrecognizable Disciple.
LONG TERM STORYTELLING!!! OK, then we get the Disciple... NEVERTHELESS...
I thought they made up after that.

Now we only need to fit the Yapapi stuff in there.
for years i didn't know "the disciple" was also "the barber". bit of a career change, but this is also a man who was a Butcher for a short time too.
Me neither I just thought The Disciple was some random 😂
It's amazing what a beard and sunglasses do. I didn't know he was Brutus until a decade later.
I'm trying to imagine a woman who looks so much like Hulk Hogan from behind that his ex wife thought it was him😂
The fact that going from The Booty Man to The Disciple was a major improvement even though The Disciple was a glorified jobber gimmick 😭
Beefcake - "....have we gone passed the point of no return...."😂😂😂😂
As a kid and seeing him with the Dream Team and as “The Barber” I see him doing big things. Kids are not always that smart….lol

I will say I feel so sad listening to Bobby Stumble Mumble and Bumble his way through this, it is truly depressing
WCW was paying Michael Buffer $50,000 USD to show up and say his catchphrase (later he would charge upwards of 1 million dollars).
Not surprising, he copyrighted those five words.
lol just googled Michael buffer and the first thing Google thought I'd want to ask is how much he's worth and it turns out it's "over $400 million" which was wildly unexpected!
He has a monopoly on that catchphrase, especially since its so essential in the contact sports market.

Yeah they are still active, recently live on Fox News they "arrested" a guy, getting him in a headlock, throwing him to the ground. GA founder then claimed live on air that the guy was an illegal immigrant who had been caught shop lifting. This turned out to be completely false, no evidence he committed any crime and he was a native New Yorker. Vigilantes in red berets aren't that great really.
10:46 i cough up laughs smoke 💚💚😱
They was lovers
Curtis SLiwa, yes.
So he really was the Booty Man is what you're saying.
I’ve never seen this PPV and to hear Bobby Heenan drunk slurring his words is great and it made me laugh to hear one of the best and most professional commentators drunk and slurring. Dusty Rhodes has probably stopped speaking so much because if he’s drunk I can only imagine how bad he would be slurring with his lisp. And I don’t think scum is a too strong of a word for wrestling because at this time on WCW you couldn’t curse so calling someone scum is the most appropriate word to use when talking about a wrestler who your in a heated feud with. It’s not like today where on AEW they’ve overused the phrase “you’re a piece of shit”
It would have been hilarious if Tony tried to get in on the act and just came out with "Yeah! He's just a low down mother*cker!" and Bobby and Dusty just look at him with their jaws dropped and shaking their heads......
Hulkela Hogano 😂😂
…hogan did a lot of heel stuff as a baby face, but people cheered for him anyway. I didn’t think he changed that much.
Hogan had the same moves whether face or heel 😅😂
I worked at WWF in the eighties and nineties. Hogan was a big guy but he wasnt 6' 8". Maybe 6 5. Big dude though.
Yup, because he wasn’t taller than Scott.
uh he said "Sturgis" not Starrcade lol
Brutus Beefcake is a wcw legend
Heenan sounds like Rocky.
@10:46 I laughed so hard.
8:40 I just saw this promo the other day for the first time. it's the most nonsensical Hogan promo I've ever seen. 😂
WOL…. That’s brother Bruti dude. AKA The Zodiac and he main-evented Star Cade brother against Hollywood Hogan dude. After the match the FBI took the brother the dude into custody because he actually was the Zodiac from another mother brother! In short, how much dude can a brother dude, if a brother could dude dude. 🎉
heeeealwaysrolsouttarin 🥴
Tbh Hogan always worked as a heel. for instance the eye rakes, the complaining and b1tching when he screwed Macho at World War 3
It worked out because 6- Pac was a much better name than 4-Pac (or x-Pac for that matter)
Syxx was the sixth member wasnt he. Hall Nash Hogan Fake Sting DiBiase and then Syxx...wasnt he???? Damb idk use to be so sure. Lol
"I never drew a dime! Let me judge a guy who drew (at least) hundreds of thousands of dollars, who's definitely going through cancer treatments! Because we're coonts!"
To be fair, Hogan always worked like a heel even as a face.
Kind of. As a bonafide heel, he introduced old school heel stuff like stalling for time and leaving the ring along with jawjacking with fans. And as a face, he "turned heel" only when "pushed too far" and lost his cool. One could make a case that Hogan was repressing his old heeldom from his initial WWWF run, pushing back something that was always in him for the sake of big money.
Heenan slurring so hard he's sounding like Dusty!
Who is the lovely lady coming down to the ring with Brutus? Is that Francine?
DDP's ex, Kimberly (Page) aka The Diamond Doll. In storyline, Johnny B. Badd "won" the Diamond Doll Kimberly from DDP and "set her free" after DDP had been doing the abusive boyfriend thing and had stolen her bingo winnings. But mid-storyline (kind of) Badd is out of WCW and they replace him with Leslie who had just been outed as Hogan's spy in the Dungeon of Doom (the Zodiac gimmick was a ruse) and needed a new gimmick/something to do to justify his paycheck.
@horgh_japan very pretty lady. What a crazy storyline!
Okay a little off topic but a month before when he turns heel has it been an argument for years does Bobby Brown heating ruin it when he says but what size is he coming out for if you had been watching wrestling for years like I had been at the time no because Bobby never liked Hogan never trusted Hogan so of course he's going to say that he never liked him he never trusted him he thought Hogan was s**t in character I'm sure he respected how much money he drew
It's your prerogative, mate.
You are right that The Giant was nothing like Andre, but not in the way you seem to think. Andre was worth 1000 Paul Wights.
I thought they had a falling out a few years back? I’m not saying Hulk Hogan is a perfect human. He’s clearly made mistakes just like everyone else that’s ever lived but I don’t think he’s this evil monster that does no good. He had about half a dozen wrestlers that probably in all reality shouldn’t have had a job in the business past 1992 make a lot of money because they were friends with him.
After I heard an interview with Eric Bischoff , the person interviewing him was asking him about wrestlers, who probably would not be there that laid into the 90s if it wasn’t for Hogan, and of course, they talked about the nasty boys, hacksaw Jim Duggan, Jimmy Hart and of course, brother Brutus. And then Erick goes on to tell the story about this event where fans were coming to meet the wrestlers and sign autographs and this was after WCW was sold, some fan convention, and he said Brutus had like all these black and white glossy photos of him and Hogan and he said that Brutus sat there and was signing Hulk’s name hours before they let fans come in. So he was charging triple the amount of money that he would’ve got if it was just a picture of him that he had signed but since it was a picture picture of Hulk and the Fot Hogan had signed it he was charging triple the amount of money. That’s just low. If Virgil did something like this, he would’ve been drug over hot coals for it.
People make fun of me for liking Wrestling, this does not help.
I remember when my grandma caught me.
Hot take, Paul Wight is a way better Giant than Andre ever was. He could move and he could put up promos. Andre could never do either.
Funny thing, Curt Henning. Six foot Three. Two hundred and fifty-seven pounds. Robbinsdale. Minnesota. A three-time All-American! Yes sir. Yes indeed. Doink beat Bret on a house show. The wheel was supposed to land on the 'The Snake Pit' match at Halloween Havoc'92. The middle of the ring would be removed, and replaced with a pit of snakes! Steve Borden said it was TOO dangerous and would nix the idea. Aurelian Smith Jr caught a jobber dancing around to his theme backstage and got to Vince, citing disrespect on the jobber's part. Now, that jobber ONLY had to explain and apologize to Jake didn't he!!? Warrior, who was hiding in a locker, overheard and some believe THIS is why he had beef with Roberts. Yes sir. Yes indeed. Bossman beat Freddy Krueger AND Leatherface in tag-team action. The match occurred in Japan, at the abandoned Takamoto Prison, and was billed as a 'Halloween Prison of Horrors' match. Vic Grimes was 'Da Baldie'.
Syxx baba'd in Tammy Sytch's hold-all bag🧐 The fanny pack was the target, but he settled for the hold-all. Sunny had turned Shauns advances down, so X-Pac got his revenge. On the flip side, Skinner would baba in Jerry Lawler's crown backstage at Royal Rumble 93 as a rib. Dallas Diamond Page owned his own diamond mine, and he would scout it for talent. He took Scotty Hall from it and polished him up. Some say Bret and Anvil sabotaged the ring ropes in their title change bout against The Rockers. Shawn and Marty got to Vince but nothing could be proven🧐. Vader and Sid were 'Da Masters of da Powerbomb'.
Bray Wyatt's dad was the captain of a shrimp boat and could be seen shrimping up and down the bayou. Bray would join him occasionally and preached his message all over Lafayette. Macho shanked Flair at 'Cade 95. Sonny Onoo was a black belt in Taekwondo and would face, AND BEAT Chuck Norris in martial arts exhibitions. Yes sir. Scotty Hall was 'Da Bad Guy'. Pat Patterson caught Nailz dancing around to High Energy's theme backstage and got to Owen and Koko. Owen and Koke made it to Vince's office before Nailz got them, but McMahon had big plans for Keven. Hulk couldn't let his ego go, but not through want of trying. Jo. Chyna necked Vince to win a battle royal on Raw. Sting got to Bischoff about the WCW push of one Raven. Steve didn't 'get' the Raven character. Scotty got hot and hopped back to ECW to cool off. He even tried to poach Page Falkinburg for Heyman. Cactus feuded with Sabu in Philly. The Philly street fight was their classic. Shawn didn't take to Foley at first. Mick overheard an HBK rant about him and ran out of the building. Rowdy Roddy was 'Da Pipes'.
LOD vs The Powers was the classic. Lex got to Brody in the cage in the humidity of Florida. Tempers flared and THAT'S why Bruiser no sold, and THAT'S why Pfohl ran away. Fonzie confirmed it in a shoot. Tap 'Bill Alfonso shoot' and find what you seek🧐. Brutus Barber was 'Da Beefer'. Sid Eudy's favorite book was The Night of the Juggler by Willam P. McGivern. He'd read it backstage while waiting for his cue. Jimmy Del Rey worked as a stripper to pay for wrestling lessons. Rossy Ogawa was a great businessman with an even better wrestling mind. But when he got caught dancing around to the Stardom theme backstage, Bushiroad had had enough and sent him on his way. Anvil got to Virgil about doing the KKK gimmick on an independent. Virgil agreed to it, but it was still controversial.
HHH would tag jobbers for real when they wouldn't comply. Percy wrote all of Undertaker's original promos. Pringle worked as a mortician and 'got' the character. Richard Rood was 'Da Ravishing One'. Raven wrote the infamous Chris Benoit promo at Starrcade 97. Chris got to Scotty backstage and asked him to write him a decent promo. Scotty inked a classic and couldn't wait to hear it before a live crowd. Chris forgot it when it came time, causing heat between the two men🧐. In Canada, Jacques Rougeau was king. He even outdrew and beat Hogan clean for the title, then danced around to Real American! The Beverleys spiked some jobber with the Shaker Heights Spike finisher. The Steiners got them back by stiffing them at the Rumble. Vince gave Hawk a dressing down after he ruined a Vader promo on heat. Tap 'Vader promo Hawk'. Hillbilly Jim was a real hillbilly.
Lawler took his theatrics to a whole new level in Memphis. Terry Gene Bollea was 'Da Real American'. Harry Fujiwara was a decorated sushi chef and would cook for the BSK. Sometimes he'd spike Rodney's food with laxatives. Double J got to Chuck about taking the Sweet Chin Music at SSeries94. The two men practiced the spot for hours and even danced around to With My Baby Tonight. Vince prepared plans for a terrorist stable which would include Mahal and Ali. It was only nixed when Linda convinced him it was poor taste. Bam Bam's favorite match was with Bret on a house show. In Tokyo Japan, Masami Odate was queen. Hailing from Kamakura in the Kanagawa prefecture of Japan, she'd outdraw AND beat Alpha Female clean for the title. She'd then dance around AND goose-step to the German national anthem, adding insult to injury. Mark Callaway was 'Da Phenom'. The Steiners were shooters. Irwin Shyster hated wrestling in a suit and braces. Brian Pillman would 'rape, pillage AND plunder' the WWF. Sonny Onoo would 'crack, snapple AND pop' his opponent's legs.🧐
Candido shot on Horowitz when Barry used Chris's finishing move without calling it. Perry. Perry Saturn got hot and shot on a jobber. Vince got hot and gifted him the moppy gimmick. When Undertaker heard he was beating Hogan, clean for the title, he and Percy would dance around to Koko B Wares theme. Koke overheard and got to Vince. Mark and Percy met with McMahon, and the pair were forced to explain and apologize to Koke, ALMOST nixing the title change. The 1993 Survivor Series main event was to be an unmasking match. The Hart family was supposed to unmask the Knights and reveal them for what they were. Vince nixed it at the last minute. Bret and Owen got pissed and went looking for McMahon after the PPV. They found him in his hotel room, dancing around to Stand Back with Jimmy Del Ray and Dr. Tom Pritchard. So they joined in.
