Well if you believe Greg Valentine, this was around the time Monsoon had his privates removed because his condition was getting worse. You can’t just casually hint at a possible castration story like this. You gotta elaborate, man! Yeah, spill the tea!

It's cut from the Coliseum Video version, but right after Gorilla calls Culkin "that youngster," he says, "He wouldn't want to be Home Alone with the Nasties." I have the 1992 home video release called Wrestlemania’s Greatest Matches (Vol.2). (It doesn’t say Vol.2 on the package but Sean “Who” Mooney calls it that. One of the matches is the Nasties/Harts match from WM7. They do show Culkin and Gorilla saying: “He doesn’t want to be Home Alone with the Nasties.” Now I want to see a Home Alone 3 from the original canon, where the Nasty Boys replace the Wet Bandits.

Complete with one of the Nasties falling into a freezing cold pool that has a trampoline over it just like in the movie.

The castration comment has me very confused and intrigued
But…this commentary was terrible during the show for sure. I still think Vince and Lawler were consistently worse together, but this show was really bad.

Monsoon roasting Ventura during Beefcake's entrance is a classic, though. Gorilla eviscerates him with that one. Jesse is so owned and he knows it, to the point he doesn’t even attempt a response. He just goes quiet for a couple of seconds and says something like “and here comes Brutus the Barber”. One of the rare times Ventura is silenced.

They did seem like they were at each other during this PPV. Not sure if it had something to do with audio but their voices were raised a lot more than normal throughout. Gorilla was oblivious to the "wave" during the Roberts/Dibiase match so it just made Jesse yell louder about the fans doing the wave. I don't think Gorilla caught on. Probably didn't even know what it was if it was something normally only done at non wrestling sports.
I had to go and re-watch the Brutus entrance and that was funny. I remember that line from Gorilla about "what do you have of your own?" It always reminded me of Bobby Roode. He has Rick's head and name, Terry Taylor's robe and I think was trying to get his body looking like HHH.

I watched WrestleMania V and it's kind of the same there. Plus I remember moments like that at IV. As an avid overthinker I've over thought this. When you compare Heenan on commentary to Ventura, Bobby was a heel & Jesse "tells it like it is". It's a subtle difference but an important one. Bobby would adjust his commentary to make sure that Gorilla never lost credibility. Jesse would point things out, that while true, would put Gorilla in a bad position as the babyface voice of the fans.
In short I would say that Jesse acted as if the idea of a how a babyface should act was a real thing & Bobby understood that a babyface was some over with the marks, regardless of how they acted.

Idt Vince and Dunn were directing announcers like that back then or else a lot of things said would have never reached the air. If Vince tried to direct Gorilla or Jesse, Gorilla would tell him to stop and Jesse would just call Barry Bloom. Jesse was a lot like Paul Heyman. He was a Heel in the sense of he aligned with the other Heels but he would point out flaws in the babyfaces to challenge the viewer and Babyface Play By Play commentator. Heyman use to do the same with Jim Ross when he called matches. Bobby and Jerry Lawler were similar in the sense of being obnoxious heels that could be witty but ultimately made fun of the babyfaces.
