Apparently, Hardbody Harrison was the first wrestler ever to bump into a pool. Kevin Sullivan threw him in and he floated face down for a minute like he was dead.

I learned Debra's outfit for sumnerslam 99 was not something a manager should wear

Man the production values in 1997 were not top notch. So many weird glitches and botches in terms of rolling tape, audio and other like things

Fall of 1999 gets really confusing when "My Time" starts, and you don't know if you're getting mega-heel Triple H or gender-barrier smashing babyface Chyna.
There's a similar issue with the old Ministry music being shared by The Acolytes and Mideon & Viscera, but The Acolytes get way more TV time anyway.

for no real reason i decided to watch the absolute worst wcw era possible, so i'm watching new blood rising. i've never seen most of this year aside from like botchamania stuff. and i have to say, without any hint of irony, tank abbott leading and singing 3 count made me laugh, very, very hard. i think i would've been a huge 3 count mark at the time.

Tank Abbott almost had a Frank Sinatra gimmick

*smh* I guess I finally discovered why Ahmed's run in the NOD is never mentioned. Lasted a grand total of, what? Two matches in 5-6 weeks?

Ministry theme opening riff sounded like Demolition's.

The censorship is all over the place on the network. 1999 sumnerslam censors balls and shit but let's bitch go Then the next nights on raw Bullshit goes uncensored

For as great as most of Raw in 1997 was, most of the 1997 PPVs sucked out loud.

Tank Abbott almost had a Frank Sinatra gimmick i like this, but since as i said, i wasn't watching at the time, i did a little fantasy booking of my own. tank abbott reveals in a sit-down interview w/ mike tenay that he actually has a daughter. he knocked up some hooker when he was a very young man, 12 or 13 or so, and that always made their relationship very strained and odd. so now he's getting into 3 count to try and connect with her. he thinks they're fun guys and he likes them, but this is really about his daughter. then, because wcw, his daughter is revealed to be major gunns (who is actually only like 7 years younger than him, but i'm going with it, because wcw). then, russo swerve, major gunns doesn't care about 3 count at all, and the reason she hates tank isn't their weird age difference, its that he never listens! the announcers make jokes about how its like their siblings or married or something, because wcw. point is, she doesn't like 3 count at all, and thats why she left to join the army/misfits in action, DAAAAD! then misfits in action feud 3 count. and then russo swerve, tank actually did just really, really love 3 count the whole time! then russo swerve just kidding he hates boy bands! he joins misfits in action and reunites with his daughter! who russo swerve was actually secretly in love with evan karagias the whole time! i think technically this counts as "going somewhere" since it kinda elevates 3 count and leads to the m.i.a. feud (and i think some solid matches w/ chavo and lash v. hardyz friendz, and some russo-riffic boner jokes with gunns choosing evan's body over hugh g. rection), so i guess it would never fly for real. but i gotta pat myself on the back for thinking up something that silly-bad but russo-plausible i think. so i think "what i learned thanks to the network" on this one is that i enjoy fantasy booking crap just as much as i enjoy fantasy booking good stuff. thanks, wwe network!

I've always had a soft spot for the luchadors in WCW, but watching more WCW makes me see how good Silver King really was. He may look like the least intimidating guy this side of El Dandy...but he was great

Hogan was not the first person to ram a semi into an ambulance with someone in it. Austin did that to Triple H on a Smackdown in 1999. The same episode that produced the greatest HHH GIF ever.

The Harris Twins also wrestled in the WWF as "The Grimms". These guys had too many names.

Been watching 97 Raws and Nitros, as well as PPVs, and I've just realised this is me only just really experiencing Owen's work. Currently onto the European title match with Bulldog. Only work of his I've really experienced is the stuff on the Best of Raw DVD they made a while back.

The same episode that produced the greatest HHH GIF ever. at least they explained it that time, saying shane mcmahon pulled hhh out of the ambulance at the last second. the live crowd then saw shane come out and say some shit only to get a stunner. i know cause i was there! i posted about it, and the dumbest thing the big show ever did, in the last topic. said dumbest thing was about five seconds before the gif, and i'll just use that gif to tell the story in even better depth: imagine big show is where triple h is. now imagine triple h is standing directly behind him, trying to hide. see that big screen in front of triple h? so does big show in this scenario, but he just stands there and lets triple h literally murder him with the sledge hammer. wonderful.
