that sharing the same jail cell with someone does nothing to seperate two people that have been fighting constantly. Tony Schiavone seemed shocked at this turn of events at Souled Out 2000 I learnt I don't value my time as I watched a few 95 Raws inbetween KOTR and SS I've been doing that too... and it just makes me wonder more and more who the hell thought King Mabel main eventer was a good idea

Randy Savage was able to wake Hulk Hogan up by dropping an elbow from the top rope on him.

I have learnt that my body is willing to withhold any urges to make me need the toilet if I'm fully engrossed in a back to back PPV marathon.
Indeed, the moment it was over and I looked up to find it was dark outside, my piss bits went proper spastic and I had to run doubled over in agony to the toilet like some kind of incontinent hunchback of nate-dame.
Wait what was the question again.

Oh yeah that's right. I have learnt that in the era of attitude, wrestlers had little or no concept of illegal moves and possesed no desire to warn the referee so that he could be distracted and miss it.
So basically the refs give up on that but Earl Hebnar goes one better. He sees the low blow, he gets a sort of "deer in the headlights" look on his face and then he looks over his shoulder and we forget it ever happened.

Attitude Era announce table destruction often resulted in eye level close ups of Jerry Lawler's spandex crotch.

The Halloween Havoc 91, Chamber of Horrors match is the most unwatchable match of all time. Not only is it a bad concept, but it is poorly executed. I mean there is not one redeeming thing in it, with the exception that there was a ton of talent in the ring (El Gigante notwithstanding.) But even that was a problem, as they stacked this match with Vader, Sting, Cactus, the Steiners but they had singles matches with guys like Bill Kazmeier and Van Hammer on the card. Such a awful time in WCW history.

That Hat Guy was bald. At Slamboree '94 Terry Funk goes into the audience after his match, embraces Hat Guy who is of course in the front row, steals his hat (revealing his bald head), takes it ring-side, puts it on, and then starts eating it . . .

Watching 93 and 94 RAWs, I learned that besides well-known ones like "1,2,3...he got 'im, no he didn't", "BAAAAAAAACK BODYDROP" and "notwithstanding", Vince had another Vince-ism he liked to use: "see-saw battle, back and forth".

On a whim, for some reason I just had to see Clash IX: New York Knockout. (With the infamous Ric Flair-Terry Funk "I Quit" match.) Some things I learned: -You don't watch Road Warriors matches expecting a technical masterpiece. You watch them to see a butt-kicking. -Paul Ellering is an underrated promo guy. Animal screams too much to be understood. Hawk not leading off with "WELL!" and channeling Dick the Bruiser's groan was weird. -Not all trophy ceremonies end with somebody getting bashed over the head with one. -Shane Douglas pulled off a pretty sweet Angle Slam in the Dudes' match with the Midnights. -The Skyscrapers looked pretty mortal against the Steiners. Too much bumping. I know the Steiners are a solid team, but sheesh. Even Sid took some punishment, and he was hardly in the match! -Interesting that Jim Ross brings up Luger's disciplinary issues leading to him getting kicked out of the U. (If only that college had done the same thing in the then-immediate future. ) I enjoyed this a lot.

Benoit power bombed Tajiri out of the ring to the floor when he didn't hook on to Tajiri to go over the top rope with him.
Summer slam 2003 I think? I totally forgot about that spot. Dangerous

I've been. ECW PPVs all day. I hadn't seen many of them.
RVD and his cocky tweener persona was awesome. He was good on the mic and truly entertaining.
Justin Credible was a really good heel. He could play kick ass or chicken shit. He was good on the mic and understood how to get heel heat from the crowd.
Bill Alphonso was annoying as f*** and I immediately wanted to see him off my TV. He brought zero to the product.
Jerry Lynn was an incredible talent. I could watch his matches all day and night.
Tommy Dreamer as the soul of ECW was corny but I liked it. I wasn't a fan of Shane Douglas. His franchise character was cloned a few years later but rebranded "King of The Mountain." Both characters succeeded at the expense of others. Not a fan.
New Jack is a crazy MOTHERf***ER.
The Dudleys are heat magnets. I am always impressed by their ability to rile up a crowd. I felt like there were at least 3 possible riots.
It's been a fun day. I'm glad I got the Network just for stuff like this.

There's a certain thing Chris did that ended up defining his legacy in the wrestling industry, that became synonymous with his name. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}

I'm glad I got the Network just for stuff like this. ECW did a great job making people a star in ECW and then they would move on to WWE or WCW. Al Snow looked awesome in ECW. I don't like that they re-voiced over all of the segments with Joey's voice instead of Heyman's for some reason

The Mikey Whipwreck and Cactus Jack team was a lot of fun, especially the interview after they beat Public Enemy for the ECW Tag Titles, and Cactus says he's going to talk to Mikey's mother, because Mikey promised her he wouldn't win any more titles.

'Mikey... The Public Enemy's real mad, you know what that means?' '...That means I'm gonna die.'
