www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkAdplMOYOISome thoughts: 1. Even in the most ridiculous situations, Ole Anderson always came off as credible. 2. Was this the first Flair/Foley interaction? 3. Rocky King was somewhere between awesome and Jar Jar Binks at this point. I'm not exactly sure where. 4. JYD isn't there five seconds before he botches something (getting his bag caught up on the ropes and having to drop it)

5. Telling someone you have a surprise for them, kills the essential element of surprise.

I always thought Rocky King had a good look and could work well enough, why was he a total jobber?
I think his two lines in this bit answer my question.

This is during the weird period when WCW was pushing Rocky King without really pushing him. He got a lot of high profile angles while still being a jobber.

For as famous as JYD had become through WWF, I'd say he's more of a "WCW" guy. He had the late 1988-1989 run, the return in 1990 and on and off up to mid 1993.

That running-the-ropes spot JYD did was super awkward. I've always been a big fan of him, but this segment was a little sad.
Flair made him look like a million bucks, though.

I remember watching this and thinking JYD was WAY over the hill. But now Ive found out he was only 37, which is young for pro wrestlers.
They did a Little Richard thing with Rocky King and the Freebirds for a minute, before Johnny B Badd. Guess all the spots in the York Foundation were taken.

I loved the interaction JYD had with Jim Cornette on one of his returns. Jim interrupts him, talking about how the Midnight Express just won a match and now he's just randomly showed up, and asks where he's been. JYD replied, "Where have I been?," and rattled off an address in Louisville. "Do you know where that is?" "That's my mother's house!" "Exactly. I'm yo daddy!"
Hey, as a young kid, it was funny.
