1987 Slammy Awards Thoughts

[lildude8218]

This is one of my guilty pleasures when it comes to wrestling. I try to watch this show once every few years and I'm in the middle of it right now so I figured i'd post some random thoughts on it.

1) How disturbingly funny is it to see Gene Okerlund covering Rick Rude with that towel but at the same time he can't stop staring at Rude's exposed package?

2) I love the "Greatest Hits" montage set to "Hit Me With Your Best Shot"

3) Gorilla Monsoon was really on Bobby Heenan's ass that night. He blamed him for "ruining the entire program" when the blame should have been put on Duggan and Race for fighting backstage. Heenan was just kinda there.

4) How about Jesse Lee Ventura on the piano? He was smokin. Also, I always mark when I hear The Honky Tonk Man change the words to his song to say "the Macho Man blues."

5) And the obvious one.......STAND BACK! It's kinda funny today that I noticed both Jake Roberts and Brutus Beefcake on instruments where they had to blow. With what I know now, they definitely love blow


Does anyone else love this event as much as me?

What happend to the slammys?

[lildude8218]

What happened is the Slammys got increasingly worse and worse minus a few things here and there (Owen dumping iced tea on Vader and causing him to break character; Mankind thanking Aldo Montoya, etc)

Plus the Monday Night War got more serious so they decided to try and stir away from goofy sorts of things.

Now the Hall of Fame ceremony has pretty much taken the Slammys place, even though there's no kayfabe involved with it

They do have Slammy trophies in the background of the HoF so all is not lost.
