Lillian Garcia makes a lot more sense once you learn for awhile every week they had Sunny out there doing introductions for random matches. She is absolutely horrendous at it. It was only 1 Match a show not 20 years of every match every show being terrible and I don’t believe Sunny introduced anyone as a Grammy Award Winner.Sunny doing intros was about getting a hot girl on tv in a sexy outfit for the announcers to drool over for a couple minutes on a show if you were playing attention to the quality of her ring announcing skills you were missing the point of what they were doing it was some quick T&A for something different on the show cause they had mostly dudes watching the show and if I remember correctly she always got huge pops whenever she came out to do these.

They fully acknowledged he was Ricky Steamboat. His Hasbro figure had his full name on the package, and McMahon and Savage mention the WM 3 match during his entrance here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrC3kPdVNwkI heard about 30 The Dragon’s and He was only called Ricky Steamboat once by Savage.I didn’t say they never called him Steamboat again or mentioned his past just that 99% percent of the time he was referred to as The Dragon that was the main focus the one time they called him Steamboat or mentioned his past was to shill a ppv of mania clips.I’ve heard Steamboat interviewed on this subject he hated the idea of after 15 years of building the Ricky Steamboat name he was now the dragon doing opening match low card stuff. On Prime Time Wrestling in May 1991, McMahon called him "Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat" when throwing to a Steamboat match. Savage and McMahon discussing WM III happened at least one more time, too. There's been a narrative that they pretended Steamboat was a completely new wrestler in 1991, but that wasn't the case.

The pre-match video package for Austin/Bret at Wrestlemania 13 so good, and I think it has something to do with how it's narrated in second person. It gives us much more of a personal look into Bret's psyche and establishes a new way we can understand the feud.

There's been a narrative that they pretended Steamboat was a completely new wrestler in 1991, but that wasn't the case. 30 to 2 and I’m guessing they probably called him the dragon atleast 20 more times during that match.There’s a reason the guy left the company he hated what they were doing with him or more appropriately not doing with him they had one of the best wrestlers in the world and he had no programs just tv squash matches and opening match stuff on house shows against Paul Roma and Smash because Vince was still pissed at him for leaving after wm3.He left went to wcw and was instantly great again.

I liked MVP's push on Smackdown in 2007, first the feud with the monster Kane, then going to the other side of the spectrum feuding with Chris Benoit in a series of matches over the U.S title, then later in the year with rival/teammate Matt Hardy which went into 2008.

Yeah, I certainly knew it was Steamboat as a kid, even though I wasn’t familiar with his previous run. They didn’t hide it. Kind of the same as they would acknowledge who IRS was on ocassion.

Triple H had a guy play his lawyer named Brian Gewirtz. The head writer. I have no idea if it was him or not since I don’t know what he looks like

Also two weeks til Mania and in 1998 USA put RAW on Tuesday for whatever reason idk. Its not the US Open or the dog show. USA was experimenting with Tuesday to see if there was a possibility they could switch days permanently. And when he heard of this, Bischoff said "Well, we'll just move Thunder to Tuesdays!" (This being during Eric's drunk with power era.) It was just a test.

So watching the 89 Saturday night shows Dr Death turned face At first I thought maybe it happen on Worldwide or the Main Event but from looking at History of WWE and old Observers nope there never was a turn they just said it happen in Japan where Gordy attacked him. Didn't that also happen when he turned heel in 1988? I remember reading that he just sent a promo while on a Japanese tour where he announced he was joining the Varsity Club.
