    It shocks me that a superfan like Conrad and an insider like Bruce don't know why Shawn switched to the superkick for a finish (he used the piledriver for ages after he ditched the side suplex too). Shawn tells the story that he's in a car with a partially inebriated Scott, and the Bad Guy just says "Man, that kick is your most over move, that should be your finish." Hall was full of wisdom - big Kev used to love doing a leapfrog in his match because he COULD and because he was proud of his athleticism, until Chico says to him while tipsy "Man, you're the biggest guy in the company. Just let them run into you." Diesel never did the leapfrog again. Great mind for the business, Razor.

    Repo Man was believable, hilarious, told good stories in the ring and had one of the better entrance themes of the time haha. And that Mr. Perfect vs Ric Flair match is still one of RAW's best matches.

      I agree it really takes me back to those days. Yes we all love the Monday night war era 1997 through 2000 with Steve Austin, DX, The Rock, Mankind, The Godfather, etc. But honestly The last few years I’ve actually had more than a Stalgia for the first two or three years of Monday night raw than I do the late 90s stuff. No they weren’t in giant NBA Arena and they didn’t have a titan Tron, it wasn’t three hours long, and everything felt more real and more authentic. I feel like honestly the last 15 years or so that they’re more worried about production and music and special effects for me actually do what’s going on in the ring.
      Those first 3 years with Bret Hart, Yokozuna , HBK , Diesel , Razor Ramon, Bam Bam, Undertaker, Lex Luger, Tatanka, Smoking Guns, Randy Savage, Mr. Perfect, etc. in front of a couple thousand people meant so much more In the multi million dollar monstrosity it is every week now.

    I never knew who Conrad was & never knew his story until just recently when I read an article about him on ESPN.com. He's a mortgage broker who hit it off with Ric Flair after a chance meeting & before he knew it he was hosting 3- very popular podcasts, putting on Starrcast & then marrying one of Ric Flair's daughters. All that just from a chance meeting with Flair. That is crazy.

Can you imagine in 93 someone in Vince’s circle saying “hey let’s hire 2 dozen writers to write a script for the boys!” That’s not very RAW at all!

    Radio is still huge, it didn't go away after the 90s. Radio is still the most consumed form of media, its bigger than TV and movies, it's bigger than the Internet. It's quite kind blowing when you find that out, but it makes sense if you think about it, with everybody driving to work all the time or driving for their job. You can't put on a UA-cam video when you're driving.

Back in the day years and years ago here In Coventry U.K they used to hold black tie wresyling events with 3 course meals etc. This was back in the 40s and 1950s. I have an old Wrestling event poster/flyer from one of these old wrestling and Dinner events.!! It might of worked back then but not in the early 90s and beyond
