No idea why, but I got to thinking about Attitude era WWF stuff and remembered Rock doing a pretty goofy Swedish impression. Forgot that it was during the angle when everyone was trying to figure out who ran over Stone Cold with a car, and Mick Foley was questioning all the guys to try to narrow down the suspects (fast forward to around 2:45 to get to the Rock's answer)

The return of Last Call with (sober) Scott Hall. Here he does commentary on a match he had in Japan that many of you may not have seen. He's joined by Louie from DDP's crew.

Looking forward to more of these videos - Hall tells funny stories from the road and you can tell it really helps him to relive some of this stuff. Or in some cases see it for the first time sober since he doesn't remember even being there.

I think that's the big thing that kills me the most - Hall not remembering a lot of the stuff he did, whether it was AWA, Japan, WCW or WWF. Everyone else has these great memories of all the matches and angles he did and how fun his characters were, but he did so much damage to himself that it's all a blur. Definitely glad he got help from DDP though and I hope he turns around like Jake did :unsmith:

I would pay so much money for a Blu-Ray of just ECW promos.

Seriously, that was the best part of the promotion. Yes, there were some decent matches and guys that could wrestle (a lot of poo poo too), but by far the best thing they had going was simply the promo ability of the guys. The simple, hand-cam style that heyman and buffone used works so well, and looks great even today.

Tying in with this, having guys that could cut promos without raising their voice, yet staying serious and threatening was one of the best things. Jake Roberts was always a favorite of mine, because he could cut a wicked promo without raising his voice, yet you just got this feeling that he was demented and would gently caress you up if you pissed him off. Just that presence and delivery always captivated me...sure it was fun having the Hogans and Savages with their crazy styles, but having someone else on the opposite end of the spectrum that had a quiet, calculated vibe was even better.

For example:

Even I was surprised at Shawn still being in good physical and ring shape, and I remember being worried that somehow he'd gently caress his back up and not be able to wrestle again after that match. All the psychology that went into the feud, and the match itself, was pretty drat good overall.

This is really, really great...I love Terry Funk at the end: "Mick is SO tight on the road, you can hear him squeak...he won't spend a nickel on himself, but he'll spend everything on his family." That's the kind of person I think everyone wants to be, a guy that has the outward appearance of a regular, everyday dude, but that did the best with what he had, worked his rear end off, and puts everyone else before himself.

For some reason I always used to rewind this moment time and time again on my VHS WrestleMania boxed set. I think it's the clotheline, followed by what sounds like one person laughing hysterically like a proto-Sheamus Guy, followed by the lines on commentary, ESPECIALLY Jesse's. Whatever the case, it makes me die laughing every time.

I remember this, commentary was so much better back then with guys like Ventura, Heenan, Perfect, Macho and Gorilla. Jesse's line slayed me though, just the delivery and choice of words were perfect.
