Furnas and LaFon were a pretty damn good tag team I've heard these guys mentioned in old dirtsheet issues and documentaries and never once seen them wrestle. Their names make them sound like the most boring people ever. Any match recommendations?

Watching 1985 WWF it seems like they didn’t know what their doing with Miss Elizabeth they immediately go to the abuse stuff with Savage at the same time you got: Vince being blinded by how hot she is. Their pushing that Ventura is only chummy with Savage so he can get close to her. Gorilla is outraged that a woman is a manager but he still gushes how hot she is. Lord Al is convinced that the damsel in distress stuff is just an act and she’s really a evil mastermind. At The Wrestling Classic PPV they start off really pushing Savage as abusing her when he doesn’t like the opponent she drew then in the match Savage cheats to win Elizabeth sees this and is overjoyed and she leaves with Savage smiling and laughing Gorilla is disgusted by this then next time we see her on the show Savage is bullying her.

Their names make them sound like the most boring people ever. Any match recommendations? Them being boring quickly became their gimmick they were 2 dull men that were banged up from working a hard style in Japan who came to wwf in 96 with the gimmick of “We were good in Japan” and the wwf audience didn’t give a crap about them back then in wwf you needed to be a next level amazing worker if you were dull and that wasn’t even a guarantee that you’d get over as it was still more so about character and promo’s and they didn’t have either. I remember at Survivor Series they debuted and were put over strong but during the match one of them dropped I believe Owen on his head and you could hear Vince on commentary was pissed and they never really recovered cause on that night it seemed like they were the team that was gonna beat Owen and Bulldog for the belts when they got a shot but that never happen they were just kind there they got the shot but lost then they disappeared for a bit and returned with the announcers saying their boring and Furnas & Lafon blaming the fans for not supporting them they disappeared again then before survivor series 97 they were suddenly canadian and teaming with The Hart Foundation then they were gone for go.Its wasn’t a good run.

On the Heat before Over the Edge '99, some commentary is edited out during the Hardys/Goldust & Blue Meanie match. If anyone has seen the original broadcast version, were they talking about anything related to Owen during that bit?

Remember Mike Sanders? Watching 2000 Nitro’s and he’s basically to late WCW what Baron Corbin is to WWE today. He was a random low/midcarder who one day they decided to make commissioner for some reason. He’s feuding with Ric Flair/Kevin Nash/DDP and other top stars in important spots. He wasn’t exactly charismatic but he could talk so he’s in multiple segments every week on Nitro for months on end and you can just tell fans are like, “why?”
Also, Vince Russo obviously saw the success the WWF was having with The Rock vs. Triple H that year and basically tries to recast it in WCW with Booker T and Scott Steiner. Sometime during the summer it gets really obvious. Booker starts dressing in colourful, Rock-style shirts, starts using the Book End/Rock Bottom as his main finisher and debuts his “don’t hate the player, hate the game” catchphrase. Meanwhile, Steiner starts using the lead pipe as like his signature weapon similar to Triple H and the sledgehammer. He also starts wearing chain mail which Triple H was doing a year earlier but had thankfully stopped by this point.

To be fair to Steiner, HHH only used the chain mail once and as a vest mostly while Steiner used the headdress. I didn't mind Steiner/Booker feuding as to me it was better than seeing Jarrett in the main event scene again. Yeah Booker was coming across as a Rock knockoff, he used to dress up in suits before that then Russo comes in and he's Rock-lite.

Chris Masters was not the first one to use the name Masterlock for a finisher.
Master G in 1984 Mid-South had the same name for his leglock-type finisher.

According to Bobby Heenan, the "S.D." in S.D. Jones stands for "Sorry, Dude."

This episode of Superstars has taught me that July 11 is National Nude Day.

Apparantly attempted murder was fine on superstars in 1992 a show I'm pretty sure aired on Saturday morning in children's programme blocks in some areas.
Also the faces sure liked to cheat to win matches in those days.

Yeah definitely aired on Saturday afternoons here in NYC and it was some crazy shit seeing Berzerker trying to impale the Undertaker with a sword or Mountie using his "Super Shockstick" trying to kill Sgt. Slaughter.

That Kane & Lita did a year long storyline from July 2004 to July 2005 I knew they did a storyline just didn’t realize it went that long as at the time I missed a ton of raw due to my healthy and hospitals not having spike TV I remembered Trish in her underwear at the wedding & Snitsky punting a baby that was all.The storyline was terrible but its alot better than now where Becky & Charlotte just wrestle eachother for a year this one was episodic involved alot of other characters and every month or so something would happen that changed the entire dynamic of the story.Below is a summary of what happens:
Kane who had just recently wrapped a chair around HBK’s neck and jumped on it decides to inform Lita that he wants to impregnate her with his demon seed.Lita is shockingly not pleased with this information.Kane Kisses her.
Matt Hardy decides to defend Lita’s honor and Kane beats his ass as one would expect.
After a few weeks of Matt getting said ass beat Lita shows up happy and informs him that she had sex with kane so he doesn’t worry about Kane beating him anymore.Matt doesn’t take this well and decides to fight Kane and kane shockingly beats his ass for the 4th or 5th time now.
Evidently Lita’s very fertile as we are informed that she is now pregnant after her one sexual encounter with Kane.
A match is signed for Summerslam where the winner gets to marry Lita.Kane wins and beats Matt’s ass again.Poor Matt’s ass.
We then have the wedding.A gleeful Kane looks dapper AF as we hear a classical version of his theme on the violin.Lita wears a black gown and says some hurtful things to Kane and then says she only loves Matt...what a way to ruin a beautiful ceremony.Trish shows up in her underwear as lita’s maid of honor they have a catifght.Matt shows up and Kane chokeslams him off the stage.Kane & Lita are now married.
Over the next month Lita roots for all of Kane’s opponents and signs him to a match with the man he injured HBK at the ppv.HBK beats Kane and lita is happy she really is a terrible wife.
Kane has a match with a debuting Snitsky where lita gets in the ring and Kane lands on the baby when Gene hits him with a chair.
Next week we go to the hospital where lita is lying in bed depressed staring into space as we are informed that she has lost the baby.Kane is in normal people clothes drops to his knees and begins crying.So he’s a babyface now I guess.
Lita goes away for a few weeks to sell losing the baby.Snitsky does an injury angle to take out Kane for a few months.
Lita returns as a happy babyface who wrestles with little to no mention of the losing the baby deal.Snitsky punts a baby during a highlight reel segment.
Snitsky starts stalking Lita for a few weeks and security just watches.
That’s the end of the 2004 portion of this story we still got 7 months left.
To be continued....

I'd take this any day over "let's wrestle, because I don't like you".

I remember at one point, Lita and Edge hiring Snitsky as a mercenary to take out somebody, with Lita thanking Snitsky for causing the miscarriage. She promised Snitsky could play with her feet if he won.

She promised Snitsky could play with her feet if he won. That’s right at the point I’m at now watching July 2005 She calls out Snitsky thanks him for the miscarriage,she plays with his chin hairs and kisses him then he just leaves and she continues with her promo.Then backstage Edge says he knows all about Gene’s foot fetish and if he helps them tonight he’ll let him enjoy lita’s magical feet.Lita takes her shoes off and Edge offers Gene a small taste but Gene opens his mouth wide like he’s gonna eat her whole foot and edge changes his mind.Once Gene exits Edge & Lita laugh about Gene being a creepy freak.
