Apparently Rick Martel and Carlos Colon are very easily mistaken for one another, if you're Gorilla Monsoon. (Royal Rumble 1993.)

Bastion Booger was pretty entertaining as a color commentator - in fact, outside of maybe Johnny Polo, he was the best of the revolving door of color commentators on RAW in 1994.

Bubba Ray Dudley cut the greatest promo in the history of this sport at ECW Heatwave 99. Apparently nobody at WWE Network watched it because it shows up as rated PG. Good God that's by far the most vulgar stuff I've ever heard said in wrestling.

The Prisoner was a substitute for Scott Norton. I don't know why WCW brought him in, but they never used him again, though he wrestled a dark match as Kevin Kelly in 1997 before an episode of Nitro from Minneapolis. Supposedly he was under some kind of contract to WCW at some time and he was essentially paid to do nothing kind of like Lanny Poffo. I believe guys like Barry Darsow, John Nord, Wayne Bloom, and Mike Enos had similar deals, though they were sparingly used on Thunder or Saturday Night. Notice all of these men were Minnesotans or got started in wrestling in Minnesota, including Kelly Kelly (Kevin Wacholtz). Many of them worked for AWA when Bischoff got his start (all but Darsow). really? Cause I swear I remember part of an update center with them hyping it and they say Sting has to face tough as nails veteran and then I don't remember what they called him "Simply Ravishing" might just have been the best WCW theme song, ever. Just has so much energy and fits Rick Rude so much better than the stripper song he had in WWF. Hell, Rude had Smooth Operator with a custom intro as a theme before he went to WWF and that was better too! Watching the NWA/WCW library makes me realize how much Vince and Pat Patterson dropped the ball with Rick Rude, and you'd think they would have a ton for him to do. Why didn't this guy feud with Hogan? Savage? Steamboat? He feuded with Jake and then was fed to Warrior... and THAT's all they did with Rick Rude?!? Unbelievable, criminal. And then, of course, what could have been had he not died in 1999 at age 40, as he was training for a return to competition. he also feuded with Piper Which one was that again? Sounds familiar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYstra7gNm4I can't find the one where he totally lays down looks a lot better then this one. I don't know why later he switched it to a pumphandle slam cause of the Jackknife powerbomb 2/3 Falls match for the title. If you win one of the falls via DQ and win the next fall by pin or submission you don't win the title because you won one of the falls by DQ they've actually changed that

Good God that's by far the most vulgar stuff I've ever heard said in wrestling. You'd think it would be far easier if they just rated everything from the original ECW as MA.

Good God that's by far the most vulgar stuff I've ever heard said in wrestling. I do love that promo but I'm torn saying it was "great". I'm no PC police but it's not hard to get a reaction when you go THAT far.

If WWE Network police patrol this forum they'll either adjust the rating of that show or more likely cut the whole thing out of the show. I hope they don't cut it because it's awesome, but Jeez they've censored stuff that doesn't even compare to that.

They actually explained how Isaac Yankem could wrestle.
When Lawler did his first promo from the Dentist Office he mentioned that before he was the world's greatest dentist he was the world's greatest wrestler!

Vader said s**t on TBS in 1994. Not censored on the Network either.

At least with the Clash of the Champions: Fall Brawl crowd, El Gigante was over, brother. Although, to be fair, there were not too many interesting midcard faces to cheer for in WCW at that point. Your choices were guys like Bill Kazmaier or Tom Zenk.
