Jimmy Garvin is the one who said "I SAID ARE YOU READY FOR THE SURVIVOR SERIES?" This frankly deepens the mystery of them using that to open the song. Still, very cool. Never knew this.

Fun fact: Shawn Michaels was asked to name a state with the word "New" in its name and he said, "I know! NEWbraska!"
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Leo Burke was in the NWA in 86.He debuts wins a match against a jobber with a piledriver then the announcers tell us to expect big things from him in the NWA.They return from commercial and during the next match they announce the NWA has taken away Leo’s win because the piledriver is banned and Leo is never mentioned again.
Also “Mr.Electricity” Steve Regal debuts the announcers put him over huge and JJ Dillon comes out to watch saying Regal is a Tully Blanchard level talent and they push that JJ is gonna manage him.Nothing comes of this as well.

I learned the original In Your House theme is kind of a bop. Only in the '90s could you have a song like that soundtrack a wrestling pay-per-view.

I learned that Nick Bockwinkel was a WWF color commentator for a time in 1987. He didnt really fit IMO since he was trying to be a heel while sounding incredibly soft-spoken, without any of the attitude that Ventura or Heenan had.

He was awful.I have a couple of his 1st few house shows as a wwf commentator and Gorilla is just begging for him to say anything as it’s a 2 and a half hour show and their watching Frenchie Martin & Lanny Poffo wrestle for 20 minutes.Nick wouldn’t answer even the most basic of questions.By their 2nd show together during the 2nd match Gorilla called out Duke Doherty to join them for the rest of the show just so he could have someone to play off that speaks volumes because Duke was an awful commentator himself.

You can see a young Justin Roberts on the 10/9/95 Nitro in the front row before the Sabu vs. JL match gets started.

Got to be better than Poffo's NJPW commentary I haven’t heard his NJPW.He actually wasn’t bad in these 87 shows its just so odd that they thought 2 random active wrestlers should be the commentary team especially one guy in Muraco who’s voice was totally shot.

Mean Gene was so great playing off Eddie Guerrero during summer 97 when Eddie is turning heel coming back from injury.Gene’s disdain that a guy might take a few extra weeks to recover and him snapping at Eddie when he weasels out of a title shot against Syxx giving said shot to Chavo.These little segments helped Eddie show some personality in WCW for the 1st time.

Did Kevin Sullivan actually win cause with the exception of a jobber squash on the Nitros I've watched he's lost
