Pope Corky the IX posted:I think they blue-screened a lot of the promo segments where wrestlers had their custom logo in the background. It's easier than having a backdrop for each and every person that production would have to keep changing. Are there any instances where someone like Rike Rude or Ultimate Warrior would cut a "live" promo in one pair of trunks, and then come out to the ring dressed in something completely different?

I can't believe I didn't realize that locker room set was fake when I was a kid. I guess I just figured every single arena locker room looked the same, with that same phone on the wall.

The "best" Austin matches have been covered but I just randomly saw Austin vs Micheals at the '97 King of the Ring on The Network. I totally forgot about this match. It's not a barn-burner or anything, but I thought it was a solid match from two great workers. They're also in the "Tag Team Champs who hate each other, but hate the Harts even more" story here. Good times. I skipped past the recap stuff in the link but just watch from the beginning if you want all that stuff. KotR'97 also has one of my favorite goofy Mankind promos and a boring Taker vs Farooq match!

I remember someone in some shoot or another saying that Knobbs would mouth off to everyone but was also a giant creampuff who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. Saggs was the opposite, no one messed with Saggs.

So I'm thinking of doing a forums tournament of worst commentators in wrestling history. My list so far: Cole Lawler JBL Mike Tenay Don West Mark Madden Vince McMahon Macho Man Art Donovan Jonathan Coachman Disco Inferno I'm shooting for an even 16-man bracket, so any people you'd like to see added to the list?
