It was still a good episode of Raw, because Paul did the announcing instead of Vince and it was in Hammerstein...

World War 3 was perhaps a great concept, yet awful when executed. I am on a 46" Sony and can barely make out what is happening. Imagine the poor saps on their 19" RCA's back in 1995 trying to watch this poo poo.

Imagine the poor saps on their 19" RCA's back in 1995 trying to watch this poo poo. It was pretty much always a lovely idea. The Royal Rumble is controlled chaos that's presented and scripted well. WW3 was just pure unfiltered chaos with no one having a plan until it became a 10 man battle royale. Short of War Games and Thundercage, any of WCW's special matches were really awful ideas.

Eddie was fired from WWE and didnt wrestle for them in the early '00s because of his substance abuse issues. In case anyone is trying to figure out the timeline.

So it was late 90s WWE basically. I'd love to see RoH try to bring back the Christopher Street Connection in 2015

ColeM posted:Wasn't that in 2004 when Kidman botched his SSP on paul London and then wwe turned it into an angle and it made Kidman heel? That was actually Chavo who Kidman injured with the SSP, Juventud Guerrera was the one who landed on London's face with his knee while doing a 450. They did a worked angle where Kidman injured London with the SSP after the Chavo incident though I think.

I hope Rey's case for getting his mask back was "C'mon, man. WCW." And then they looked across the table and said "Oh, of course, request granted."

That wasn't part of it, Vince just hates the word Junior. The Box y Lucha commission has actually gone after some promotions for pulling things like this.

Then I heard Jericho tell a bunch of stories about how much Vince legitimately considers "Junior" an insult, the first of which coming from the time Jericho cut a promo where he called somebody junior, and when he came back Vince was all over him laughing and saying,"You called him Junior! That is such a great insult, great job, you really tore him up!" Vince McMahon is a strange, strange, strange man.

Hercules gorilla-pressing me into Flair's piss-soaked bed was just taking it too far.

A biography on Vince's life would end up being like that one war hero who starred in the movie about his life in that they had to tone down elements because they figured no one would believe it.
