If you look for it, you can spot Enzo being pulled off his chair at Survivor Series.

1998 Dustin Runnels is wearing the same black gloves with white writing on them crow Sting wore. Mechanix gloves are really popular work gloves, and have been for a long time. So it's not surprising.

Savio Vega beat the absolute tar out of Brakkus during the Brawl For All. Ditto Dr. Death having a very one sided fight with Pierre Oulette.
I'd always imagined Dan Severn being pulled from the tournament for being too tough and a likely winner but he really struggles against Godfather, going for take downs wearing those gloves seemed too difficult for him.
Bradshaw and Godfather both seem like the obvious winners here, they are two big angry dudes.

At Survivor Series '93, Vince calls the Blue Knight "Greg" before he stops and corrects himself.

Todd Pettingill's 1995 mullet is freaking atrocious.

Demolition vs. The Killer Bees was booked for Royal Rumble ‘88 but didn’t wind up happening for some reason.

Watching the 9/17/87 Primetime wrestling They announce Primetime is now on Thursdays for the rest of time(it moves back to Monday in 2 months) and Gorilla hates it because he likes to do things on Thursday Nights.
Gorilla talks about how hot Mike McGuirk is and how excited he was to work with her recently and he can’t believe how much she looks like Farrah Fawcett & a few weeks later Michelle Pfeiffer even citing she has won many lookalike contests so either Gorilla’s full of crap or Mike is a Gosh Darn Liar.
On 9/24/87 suddenly after hating the move to Thursday’s last week now Gorilla loves it and stresses they ain’t going anywhere(again they move back to Monday’s in 2 months and then they move again in February)

On Thunder 35 (Oct. 8, 1998), there's a video about an event held in New York City to announce a deal between WCW and Mastercard. During the video, they play what would later become the theme music for Matt and Jeff Hardy.

You have to check out the disaster of a finish to the Eddie Gilbert and Ron Simmons squash match on the Dec. 10, 1988 episode of World Championship Wrestling.
- One of their opponents, Big Bear Collie, gets blown up running the ropes and just collapses into Eddie's arms when Eddie goes for the Hot Shot.
- On the second attempt, Collie's head goes under the top strand when he bounces off the ropes.
- Eddie then gives up on the Hot Shot, throws Collie to the floor (with Jim Ross saying "That's where he belongs"), and picks him up for a suplex or brainbuster. Collie dead weights Eddie and pretty much lands on his head.

Triple H does some rather disgusting ape impressions at Mark Henry on a 98 Raw. Few weeks earlier, the Headbangers claim they'll beat the Nation in tag action by isolating Mark Henry in the corner and feeding him bananas.

Watching these fall 87 primetime’s I learned that there’s a board of wwf ambassadors that pick who would be on the cover of the wwf magazine and Gorilla is appalled they picked Heenan this month and he’s gonna look into it(he doesn’t look into it). Gorilla also says that The Piledriver Album is the hottest selling album in music history despite it not being released yet that’s almost as bad as when he claimed that No Holds Barred set all kinds of box office records after only being out for 1 weekend and claiming it’s the 1st movie in history where people ordered tickets in advance due to all the theaters selling out.He also claimed a Boston Restaurant owner was gonna chop off Heenan’s feet and throw him in the Boston Harbor if Bobby doesn’t stop being such a loser.

I forgot that Sabu and John Cena had a match in the run-up to the second ECW One Night Stand. Surreal as that concept is, they actually put on a pretty solid banger. I remember this match solely for Sabu's balance on the ropes just before he jumps on Cena.

I still can't get over how much racism there still was in wrestling in the late '90's. Like, the amount of black face is sickening. I know it was "Attitude" and South Park and Howard Stern, but wow, some of this stuff is just ridiculous with no real point.

In early 1988, Gene Okerlund kept calling it the "Rumble Royal" for weeks without even bothering to correct himself.
I can't even begin to imagine what the reaction would be on the message boards if something like that happened today.

Bret Hart is still on the Raw intro as late as October 1998.

On the Nov. 23, 1998 Nitro, at about the 2 hr., 5 min. mark, a "Show your tits!" chant started, and WCW's audio crew turned down the mics so much for a few seconds that it sounded like the commentators were talking over nearly total silence.

The Rock had a bunch of themes in 1998. The original Nation of Domination theme, two versions of his Nation theme, the one he uses at Summerslam 1998, a fast paced his quieter one, an odd funk beat, and the one that would evolve into his most famous theme (Dun! Da Dun Dun Dun! Da Da Da Da Dun!!)
