Man, Sean Mooney was a MESS at Wrestlemania V, huh? Oh my god, I fast-forward through his Trump interview every single time I watch that show. It makes me cringe so hard. He looks so nervous in a way that I deeply empathize with.

I didn't realize that WWE used the old "Yellow brick locker room" set for Wrestlemania X, when Pettengill interviews Yokozuna. It looks hilariously fake and janky.

I might be wrong here but at Royal Rumble 02 when Undertaker hits Maven with a chair, it seems like Undertaker actually uses a blade to open up Maven. The camera changes to not being able to see both of them for about ten seconds or so while Undertaker is "punching" Maven and when the camera returns Maven is opened up. Has this happened before? An opponent doing the blade job for a rookie? Assuming this is what happened. Uh. ...Mass Transit? ...I'll let myself out.

Watching the September 11th, 1995 episode of Raw
talking about Goldust vignette, Vince McMahon makes reference to Too Wong Foo
For somebody who is in(famous) for his lack of pop culture knowledge, it's quite impressive of him since the movie had only come out a few days previously

I'm watching the final WWECW episode and most of the roster come out for the lamest brawl ever.
Anyway, the first two out are future Suzukigun members Vance Archer and Shelton Benjamin, followed by Beretta of CHAOS.

On Starrcade 1988, at the 2:11:32 mark, you can see Jim Herd sitting in the crowd. I believe this was right around the time he was put in charge by Turner Broadcasting, who had just purchased the company from the Crocketts in November.

It’s weird how much Gorilla and especially Jesse put over the women’s match at Survivor Series 87 no jokes just totally serious treating them as athletes that are just as tough and hit just as hard as the men.

Having watched some present-day matches recently after watching only classic wrestling the past 3 1/2 years, I learned something:
-May the person who invented the "Instant Replay" (or whatever it is called when the current action gets put into a smaller window so that a larger window can show a repeat of a spectacular action) during matches be forever tormented by constant itching in his body.

The two things I remember that match most for is that, and being amused at Moolah's legit pissed-off expression when she's announced as weighing 160 pounds by Fink.

It's hard to watch a WCW Nitro from 2000 and to hear them often refer to Diamond Dallas Page as simply "Page" without thinking they're somehow talking about a then-7-year-old very pale British girl with a wrestler family.
Also, with how totally terrible the whole "Give David Arquette the WCW Title" storyline was, at the very least David's heel promo at the very end is, I think, one of the greatest 'good-bad' promos in wrestling history.

OSW had it as a running gag for a while. SHAHHHHT AHHHP. I swear to God if David Arquette comes to a British indie I am f***ing buying a ticket if I can get there.

Noticed this bit of hilariousness during Wrestlemania 18. During the 4 way tag team title match, Stacy, who was managing the Dudleys at this time, moves to upper left corner of the ring as you see it on TV and you see about 4 rows of guys all standing up with their cameras all taking pictures of her butt. I laughed so hard at seeing that.

Godfather didn't just come to the ring with the Hos. He would troll the crowd, coming out on his own first to heavy boos before pointing to the entrance and the Hos would emerge, where they would receive a massive reaction.

Kane gets cut open so badly on toward the end of the February 1, 1999 episode of Raw. Dude is literally splattered with blood as the episode fades to black.

At the end of Nitro 190, Bobby Heenan just blurts out "Buzz off" to Tony Schiavone and can be seen in the background leaving the announce table before the show is actually off the air.

That's actually a pretty smart way to build up anticipation and get the pop to be even louder. heh...
