Yes. It was KoKo. Im glad someone else remembers that And the second thing was awesome because Kane and Taker beat the ever loving hell out of him Yeah, that's why he was in a wheelchair for a couple of months in late 1998. I remember that segment. That was during the build up to the show where Austin had to defend against Kane and Taker in a triple threat right? Or was it the next PPV where he guest refereed a title match between the two? Either way, I remember that segment being hilarious because Vince was giving Kane and Taker the double bird behind their back and they turned around and caught him. I think he was in a wheel chair because they assaulted his leg with the ring steps. Undertaker coming out in street clothes to "shoot". I vaguely remember this. Wasn't he in a black sweatshirt and black pants? I'm thinking this was around the time of Over The Edge '98 and lead to him being the special enforcer for the Austin/Dude Love match. I don't remember what he said during that "shoot" but I seem to remember it being directed at Vince.

At Summerslam 1990, one of the Demolition members called somebody a "son of a bitch". I remember a match on one of the Coliseum Home Video old tapes of Big Boss Man getting Mr. Perfect in a wrist lock and he really audibly says "Ah you son on a bitch". It was the first thing I'd ever heard anything like that in WWF. Although its a tame thing to say nowadays it really stood out.

Jerry Lawler stumbling over his words during a Randy Orton entrance trying to think of an adjective to apply to Orton before eventually calling him good enough to eat.
I swear to god that happened but nobody else seems to remember it.

I remember a Nitro broadcast where they threw it to the Nitro girls, and before the music kicked in and they began their dance routine, Tony Schiavone audibly said, "Man, is she stacked!"

You mean Tugboat Taylor being revealed as Chaz's father? Or "Maniac" Mike Davis throwing himself over the top rope in a battle royal? Or Davis's "Moon Rock" that he got from the Bungee Match between Chaz Taylor and ... I wanna say Steve Dane? I remember a lot of that stuff. no! people remember that stuff . I mean stuff like Rude Dog and Crybaby Buxton and Mike Davis having a fear of belts or some s***....I just remember Killer Tim Brooks showing up randomly and using a belt to put fear in him or something. and Manuel Villalobos having a Hud Home that was foreclosed on. I might be making half of this up. I don't think it was a fear of belts as it was that seeing the GWF TV Title triggered Mike Davis' maniacal nature. I remember a psychologist being able to "cure" Mike Davis and Mike Davis going by "Michael Worthington Davis III" and then Manny Fernandez showed him the TV Title and undid all of the good doctors work ;D Mike Davis' feud with Sam Houston that started when Same Houston accidentally ripped off Davis' mask (he was wrestling as "The Viper" at the time) and resulted in a falls count anywhere match that ended in a no contest when Sam Houston took out a chainsaw to use as a weapon right in front of the commissioner sitting in the front row (accompanied by a few bimboes). Which resulted in Houseton being "suspended for a year" and stripped of the TV Title (and the belt being strapped around one of the commissioner's "friends" after announcing his decision). Then said Commissioner "fell on hard times" and would appear in a ragged suit and a beard and "living at the YMCA" after a fall from grace. Terry Simms eyes rolling back in his head and passing out during a match after being "poisoned". Barry Horowitz being on a winning streak before his 1995 push in the WWF! Including him wearing an unrecognized title called "The Winner's Belt". Also he had 2 reigns as GWF Light-Heavyweight Champion (I s*** you not!). A GWF announcer receiving a head injury from Manny Fernandez (damn you Manny Fernandez) and thinking he was Elvis from the ensuing amnesia! Didn't a man in a bee suit attack Rick Steiner and it turned out to be Rick Steiner? I remember the seeing angle as a I kid and reading about in the the Death of WCW but I refuse to believe it wasn't mass hallucination until I see it again. Damn it! Rick Steiner has a family, and Rick Steiner doesn't even seem to care!

There's a few romance type angles that were dropped.
Trevor Murdoch and Mickie, Festus and Maria, Kenny Dysktra and Victoria, Chris Masters and Eve are just a few.

If the date is right, I'm thinking this would be after Over The Edge as I'm fairly certain that was the May PPV.

Other people probably remember this, but the BattleDome/WCW crap in like 2000. I think Buff Bagwell even throw out a homophobic slur to the, um, BattleDomers.
BattleDome in general, I guess.

I vaguely remember JR on commentary trying to think of an insult to a superstar (Can't remember off the top of my head) and after a long pause said, with disgust "Look at his hair" ;D
Can anyone remember that?

I recall Rick Steiner calling it "Fairy Dome." I also recall, because of "Battle Dome's" delayed syndication rights in some areas, the "WCW invasion" didn't air in some markets until long after WCW had been bought out.

If the date is right, I'm thinking this would be after Over The Edge as I'm fairly certain that was the May PPV. It does read 1st June 1998. In the United States, the month is written first and the date second, so 1/6 would be January 6th and 6/1 would be June 1st.

We don't do that here in the good ol' USA. I wasn't saying it was wrong, just not written in the US standard.

Does anybody remember the mid-90's AWF? It had a rounds system, and had a bunch of guys who were names in the WWF in the 80's (Tito Santana, who was the champ, Bob Orton Jr., Sgt. Slaughter, Greg Valentine, Nikolai Volkoff, Iron Sheik, and a bunch of jobbers). It was bad. Especially having a rounds system-when has that ever been a thing in the US?! Mr. Hughes is offended by being classed in with the jobbers. Anyhow, to the topic at hand... Something that nobody has talked about in 18 years: the WWF's new drug testing program, "implemented" in 1994 with much hype. Superior to the drug testing used at the Olympics, it would detect steroids, masking agents, and recreational drug use, and all violators would face serious consequences. But perhaps more in the spirit of the thread... Bastion Booger vs. Rick Martel in fall 1993. The first heel vs. heel match I ever saw, and Martel played up Booger's smell so much that the fans were cheering for Martel.

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. maybe they were struggline, or supposed to be, and he was doing multiple two counts

Speaking of movie cast members appearing on shows, in 2002 the cast of Rollerball showed up on Smackdown and did a backstage segment with the APA. Rebecca Romijn Stamos even chugged a beer if I recall.
