Sonny Oono takes a selfie of himself and Ultimo Dragon on a disposable camera at Slamboree 97. Yeah, Sonny now sells shirts that say something like "I invented the selfie". I saw them on eBay.

It's so f***ing weird seeing Typhoon in the WWF in 1994. Like, putting aside ability and all else, he just LOOKS wrong in there with Diesel in the go-home to Summerslam 1994.

Jeremy Borash is in the front row at Nitro 108 (Oct. 6, 1997). He's the guy in the sunglasses mugging for the camera when Jeff Jarrett is walking outside the ring during the opening match.

On the 24/11/97 Raw, Stone Cold drives his pickup truck into the arena to intimidate The Rock during his match with Vader. The absolute worst music is dubbed over this segment, anybody know what song was playing live?
Edit: it was AC/DC. This is also the Raw with the famous white kid doing the Nation salute.

A rare, special thing happened to me tonight: I heard The Undertaker referred to as "Booger Red."
JR calls him that at Survivor Series 2001.

He’s referred to as Booger Red regurally until he goes back to the deadman at mania 20.Booger Red was a well known purveyor of them soup bone righthands.I like to pretend motorcycle riding Undertaker never happened it’s best for all involved.

He had front row tickets to nitro during their hottest period and he’s too busy mugging to the crowd and acting like an idiot than paying attention to the show and not to long after they gave him a job so I guess good on him.He came across as a pervy flasher in that trench coat and wearing sunglasses indoors is the 1st sign on an A-Hole.

That in the 1980s, WCCW was the only wrestling promotion seen worldwide. Hey, if ring announcer Marc Lowrance says it, it must be true, right? /s

Hey, if ring announcer Marc Lowrance says it, it must be true, right? /s That might have more truth than expected, didn't they have a random deal with a middle eastern country? Google's giving me Israel. Certainly more global that a lot of people at the time, Vince started in England in 1986 or so, so it's possible depending on the date.

The Von Erichs were shockingly huge in Israel for a while, enough that Kevin and his sons did shows there a couple years ago, and were monstrously over.

Jim Ross really liked Henry Godwinn but didn't think much of Phinneas.
At Survivor Series 1996, he says Phinneas was in the same grade in school for 3 straight years, then when Henry gets the tag to enter the match, he goes, "Okay, now business will pick up here. Ol' Hank knows what's goin' on."
At Royal Rumble 1997, when Henry clotheslines Vader, he practically interrupts Vince in mid-sentence to say, "Did you see Henry Godwinn knock down Vader?!? Wow!"

Melina clearly borrowed The Berzerker's boots to wear at Survivor Series 2005.

Sean Mooney talked like a normal person for his 1st few weeks then he started speed talking yelling at the viewer without stopping to take a breath.Gorilla thinks he’s doing a marvelous job and he’s been a fantastic addition to the wwf broadcast team.

Watching late 01 early 02 smackdown and The Taker Care of Business is a terrible name for a finisher.Also Test is a Horsefaced Bastard according to JR.
In May 2000 Miss Hancock reveals the past few months of her dancing and stripping was all for one man...Tony Schiavone.

Hooo, man, WWF was in LOW days at the tail end of 1994, huh? I'm watching....I think it's the 2nd to last Raw of the year, and one wide shot during Diesel's entrance, and you can pretty much tell exactly how teeny the building they're running is.

On the go home nitro before New Blood Rising Kidman wants to makeup with Torrie so he invites her to the ring for Torrie Wilson Appreciation Night shock of all shocks it’s a swerve he calls her horrible names,airs a video of her from 7 years prior of a corpulent Torrie eating a whole birthday cake,went to Kikos and had a bunch of corpulent Torrie headshots made and dropped them for the ceiling and then he just punches her in the face...he’s the babyface in this story then he is quickly destroyed and whipped by Douglas and Reno and I was glad that he was.
Also Kidman came out for this segment in the new wcw t-shirt which is the wcw logo on the front and “SHUT UP AND WRESTLE” in all caps on the back they put this out when Russo is booking.Lance Storm often tells a story from this time period where he was about to wrestle Booker T who was champ at the time and Ed Ferrara came up to him in Gorilla and gave him his go home cue because so many of the talking segments ran long.
