Bluedust seems to be one I don't hear people talk about a whole lot,I found it to be hilarious. Bluedust in ECW or Bluedust in the WWF? I remember an absolutely hilarious segment in ECW with Joey Styles interviewing Bluedust and "Baron von Stevie" in-ring. An another ECW thing I remember is after Mikey Whipwreck started doing his crazy, devil-worshipper gimmick and being managed by James Mitchell, but before he started teaming with Tajiri, he would team with Ballz Mahoney on a few shows. They seemed to hint that this would be a regular team with Ballz also becoming a "devil-worshipper". Then it was just forgotten about. I actually preferred this to the Mikey/Tajiri team, only because I felt Tajiri could've been doing more important things in ECW at the time then being in a tag team. There's also The Iron Sheik's brief return to the WWF in 1988. He hadn't been seen on WWF TV in almost a year, then worked a few house shows, I think worked maybe 2 TV tapings where Gorilla Monsoon would constantly rag on him on commentary for being out of shape, cut one blue screen interview where he challenged Ken Patera, then disappeared again. He was there and gone in less then a month. Also in late 80's WWF, I remember an episode of Prime Time wrestling that had a match featuring a guy managed by Mr. Fuji alternately called either "The Butcher" or "The Head Banger". Weird heavy set dude with a shaved head doing a crazy man gimmick. I don't remember ever seeing him work another match for the WWF. At first I thought it was Paul Vachon trying to make a comeback, but according to wikipedia he was long retired by then. Still have no idea who he was. edit: "The Headbanger Butcher" was apparently Jos LeDuc. He was also apparently managed by Frenchy Martin, although I could swear I remember seeing him with Fuji. Oh well, that's a 20+ year old memory for you.

When I very first got into wrestling around 88 I remember watching the NWA show on TBS and they had a match with two masked guys. One was a black fellow called El Negro (classy) and the other was a bigger guy in a green body suit called The Big Green Machine. The Machine won the match after 5 elbow drops in a row. I never saw either of these guys again.
If anyone can find that match I will be stunned.

This match happened on one of the most infamous episodes of World Championship Wrestling. This was the same day that Tully Blanchard attacked Magnum T.A. and Dusty made the save and started swinging a baseball bat hitting everybody in sight, including Jim Crockett, who then suspended Dusty, stripping him of the US title and of course led to the return of The Midnight Rider.

Holy guacamole, you've seen this? I thought it was lost to the ages. Have you seen this episode since it aired?

I remember Bret Hart saying "bullshit" uncensored on Raw at some point during his feud with Jean Pierre LaFitte, years before his infamous profane rant after the cage match with Sid.

I remember this weird finish to a match between two guys I don't recall and in a promotion I don't recall. Guy A had Guy B in a small package, for some reason the ref counted to like 5, Guy B reverses the small package and the ref counts to 3. Guy B wins. Maybe it was 2 out of 3 falls and the ref was just gonna count to six and figure two falls and Guy B already had a fall? No idea. It was like 24 years ago I saw this as a kid.

Actually I haven't, but I found the info on thehistoryofwwe.com's results After doing a little research, apparently Green Machine was Bugsy McGraw under the hood, and El Negro was Tony Suber, who did a lot of jobber double duty as El Negro.

I seem to recall Mick Foley getting a photo shoot that was in the divas section back in the late 90's.

Tito Santana vs Koko B Ware, and Koko is the heel. Dont think KoKo was full heel. I think he was more tweenerish. Fantastic match, if I remember right

Undertaker getting a cute puppy and Brother Love as presents from Big Show. "Oh, Brother Deadman! It is so good to see you again!" Something about that cracked me up.

Alex Wright showing up at an ECW show in the crowd dressed up in his Berlyn gimmick before returning to WCW. They acknowledged him as Wright, talked about how he was a hot free agent, but that was it.

My memory was stirred in the "WCW Pics and Gifs" thread, but WCW Six-Man Tag Team champions Dustin Rhodes, Big Josh, and the Z-Man fending off challenges from The York Foundation: Richard Morton, Thomas Rich, and Terrence Taylor.
Terri Runnels as Alexandra York was smokin' hot.
Speaking of Terrence Taylor: "The Taylor-Made Man" in WCW had a ring jacket that looked an awful lot like Ted DiBiase's "Million-Dollar Man" jacket.

In a Saturday Night Main Event before WM4, I remember Randy Savage beating the Hart Foundation after Hogan left him to attend to an injured Elizabeth. Most people remember the backstage argument the Mega Powers had. I remember the fact the Savage won the match while wrestling with one boot on. I don't remember if he took it off to "relieve" the pain or if the Hart foundation took it off to inflict more damage.

With Triple H laying prone on the mat, the Rock put a ring bell on his face and ran the ropes (doing the people elbow) and rang the bell on Hunter's face as he was dropping the elbow.

I don't remember if he took it off to "relieve" the pain or if the Hart foundation took it off to inflict more damage. I think you're confusing the two matches. Randy wrestled Bret at one in a single's match, and yes his boot was taken off and Randy was wearing a long white sock. I believe that they had just formed the Mega Powers at this point, but weren't tagging yet and Hogan wasn't present from what I remember, but the Hart Foundation were out there. The match the the backstage argument after Hogan carried Elizabeth to the back was a match with the Twin Towers (it was The Main Event, not Saturday Night's Main Event)...that's when Savage turned on Hogan with one of his best quotes yet; "You got JEALOUS eyes!"

I went to the October 11th 1999 RAW at the Georgia Dome (yea, the Attitude era sold out the f***ing Georgia Dome with RAW). There were quite a few interesting things that I never see anybody talk about. At the beginning of the show, there was a brawl between HHH and Austin that also involved JR and Chyna for some reason, and before HHH left the arena he stood on the stage with Austin's music playing and said "Austin! This is bullshit!" or something along those lines.
Jericho and Curtis Hughes faced The Headbangers!
HHH and Chyna fought Austin and JR. Jeff Jarrett interfered and knocked out Chyna with a toaster, put her in a laundry bin and rolled her out of there.
Rock and Mankind fought The British Bulldog and Val Venis in the main event (yea...seriously). The match ended when Rock hit the Rock Bottom on Bulldog onto a tray covered in dog shit.
Anyway, THIS is the thing that I'm surprised nobody ever talks about. At the end of the show, Austin and Triple H were still brawling backstage when Austin threw HHH into a room with a rattlesnake in it. HHH showed up on Smackdown with his face all screwed up looking (implying that the snake bit his face) but later he beat down Austin and ripped off some sort of mask to reveal that he was never hurt. It was really bizarre.
