Not that I'm defending it, but that seemed like Saturn completely lost his poo poo after Bell (somehow) dropped him on his head during a hiptoss And then it being WWE, they had Bradshaw stiff the poo poo out of Saturn in a following match

Either way, throwing the guy out of the ring onto his neck after stiffing him first is loving gross.

I hate Jeff Jarrett with a passion but even I can't help but love the absurdity of calling people slapnuts. It's not cool or a sick burn, it's just so loving stupid it wraps around to hilarious.

Jeff Jarrett's career after chopping off his golden locks was pure 'Hello fellow youths'.

Was slapnuts actually ever over? It always sounded so stupid to me. I assumed everyone but Jeff Jarrett felt the same.

I also assume the Booker T push falls into the usual bucket that those kinds of racist institutions do when they have to make a token gesture to prove they're "not" racist: Would absolutely not have happened otherwise, but when they felt they had to do it, they picked someone talented enough that they can plausibly claim it's not tokenism and is a genuine recognition of Booker's ability and charisma.

I have a saved eBay search for Slapnuts Blvd and that sign has been sitting there at $150 for at least a year. Too rich for my blood! I did get a LISTEN UP SLAPNUTS shirt for like $5 though.

In wrestle logic, what's the rationale for a wrestler's theme music playing when they do an unexpected run-in? Do they inform the sound guy first, or are the wrestlers implanted with RFID chips that cue up their music when they enter?

I recall an interview with Konnan from the late 90's in one of the kayfabe wrestling magazines from the time. He said he would tip off a camera man so they could get the full run in on camera and get him more tv time. Still doesn't explain how the guys in the production truck would also know to cut to the entrance way the second he came running out, but at least kind of works as an answer if you don't think about it too much.

If they're anything like the old action figures, each wrestler has a chip in their foot and when they stand on certain spots their music plays.

Jarrett is someone who rates as "solid," rather than "outstanding" in his wrestleman parameters (like a 3~3.5 out 5) across the board, and being an upper-midcard gatekeeper is probably the highest placing on the card that works for him.

Yeah but even for that he was mostly not good in that role.

Presumably even in Kayfabe there’s people at Gorilla to cue people’s entry for regular appearances and they’d still be there to see people running past to hit the sound board or call the booth or whatever. Now if we do assume there’s actual production staff behind the scenes, why there isn’t any security stopping people from running in is another story.

I figure it's some kind of grasping justification for why he's become so important in the WWE, he must have been good at some point, right? and that's the closest people can find to a good period of his so they're like "Oh no he's actually amazing in this brief period of time totally"

Also when Austin was staring at his incredibly shortchanged paycheck, Jeff Jarrett walked up and snarked "It ain't gonna get bigger looking at it"

HHH vs. Rock Unlike Jarrett at pretty much any point in his career, people really were into HHH at a certain point, he just spent the entire 21st century so far squandering that good will. Which isn't to say anyone should have to go back and enjoy the brief flame of "HHH is pretty great", but it did exist.

Triple H trying to leech off of Motorhead's coolness in the age of nu-metal was one of those laughably lame boomer metalhead things that makes up Triple H's entire aesthetic. Half expect him to look directly to the camera and ask me if I've ever heard of this obscure band called Testament.
