Slaughter, Hulk Hogan, Road Warrior Hawk, Road Warrior Animal, Jim Duggan, Earthquake, Undertaker, Jake Roberts and Ted DiBiase. Not quite as high a percentage as thought. I'm guessing the thing was pretty much on the printer in mid-1991, considering that Kerry Von Erich was prominent enough to make the cut.

the best description of Kerry Von Erich I've ever heard was "someone made a clay bust of a handsome man, but before they put it in the kiln they left it in the back seat of their car during summer"

It's wild just how much things would change by the late 90s.

Winklebottom posted:I'm not familiar with the Von Erichs so I looked them up and dang Yeah, it's a sad story all around. David was the only one who really wanted to be a wrestler, but Fritz pushed all of them into it, even the laughably nonathletic Chris and Mike, and it ended badly. of course, then Fritz capitalized on his sons dying by running memorial shows where he'd sell fake autographed pictures of them EDIT: David almost certainly died of an overdose, not the bullshit Fritz said killed him.

Shawn Michaels and Undertaker were the only ones on that list who were main event guys throughout the year. Not getting into Hogan's perpetual bull that's still somehow ongoing, but he was gone for most of 1992. Savage and Warrior were gone by year's end. DiBiase's injuries cost him his career. Jake Roberts was in WCW by the end of 1992 and the Road Warriors spent most of the year in Japan.

The 90s is probably the decade we're changes were the most obvious. Like something from 1990 and 92 would look incredibly different from each other.

Don't forget how popular holograms were. There was a kiosk at my local mall that my entire family of four would go absolutely apeshit over. It was always stupid poo poo like this and they were like $20 a pop. Funny thing was, the hologram would literally disappear after a year or so. It'd just fade away.

Theres a 54 year old guy from Styx in there! Get him! Also no one wanted to tell Ted Nuget to stop chewing gum on set because he arrived with multiple guns. And unlike the Nuge, they cannot deflect bullets with the power of their rock.

Devon Sawa had an awesome exchange on twitter that went something like this: Sawa: *some left leaning political opinion* Random rear end in a top hat: Who the gently caress is Devon Sawa? Sawa: Ask your girlfriend That was a p sweet comeback tbh
