Also, I assumed that bands/musicians recorded their music in other languages for release in other countries.

What are some things about music that you never got as a kid? Here's one to start.
I somehow knew Ray Stevens (not the wrestler) was a comedy artist, so when I found my dad's old vinyl of Ray's "The Streak" album, and got to the final track "Everything is Beautiful", I didnt know why this was supposed to be funny, not knowing that Ray did write some serious songs such as this one as well.

The fact that the Flash tv show ended the same year as the movie coming out might have been a factor too, people were just "Flashed-out".

Make a deal with Disney to use the Krusty the Klown theme.

At least we know what happened to the Headman on GI Joe, he became the ONLY casualty of the show during the Sunbow/DIC era (on a side note, the name of the drug he was peddling? Spark. If only they could have gotten Peter Cullen to play Headman, it would have been a lot more interesting).

Also, it seems like they kind of overstated how big a star he was. He may have been a monster heel in the 70s and early 80s, but by the mid-80s and most of the 90s (aside from the short-lived WCW stints in 1990 and 1991) he was working overseas, meaning a good number of the general US public never got to see him on a regular basis.

How about in Die Hard with a Vengeance where John McClane is forced to wear a sandwich board saying "I Hate (racial slur)". The TV version changed it to "I Hate Everybody" (though I did see a recent TV edit where the slur on the board is unchanged from the original, surprisingly enough). I wonder if that was the original shot from the film. I don't know if you know this, but the racial slur was digitally added in the post-production process. When filming, it actually said "I HATE EVERYBODY." It was even depicted as such an a novelization. Actually, the board was simply blank while filming.

Any "Arm Wrestling" segment. Usually incredibly tedious. If I want to watch worked Arm Wrestling I'll watch my dvd of Over the Top.

Has the Dino Bravo bench press segment from Rumble 88 been mentioned yet?

Studio executives creeping into “COBRA scheme of the week” territory here. How soon before an exec carves his face into the moon?

Say what you will about Saliva, but Ladies and Gentlemen fit perfectly as a Wrestlemania theme.

Joe Gagne’s Wrestling Arcade: just covered wrestling video games.. Just stopped about half a decade ago. He was ending his vids with the “A Winner Is You” before OSW did. I miss that channel, he was just about to start covering the Smackdown games when he stopped.

So the full roster for this is: Alexa, Becky, Bianca, Miz, New Day, and a mystery eighth person. Does anyone know the last person? It's Boa, right? It'll be Axiom, who'll clean up on the math-related questions.

The main issue is that the last two boom periods were mainly face-dominated, while right now the top star is a heel (and the Bloodline arent "cool heels" like the nwo either). Lets see what happens when Roman finally drops the belt.

As a kid, my local video stores rarely had WCW tapes. Only non WWF was the Ringmasters VHS and Wrestle War 89. When I got the 1996 PWI Almanac I saw PPV results for WCW and thought Great American Bash looked awesome. I bought the VHS tape, not sure where because most places didn't have WCW tapes-maybe Suncoast. I made a crappy program out of cut magazine photos and lined paper. I was pissed when most of the matches were cut. I watched until the end and right before credits got sad knowing now that I wouldn't see JYD versus Black Bart or Oz or the scaffold match. Yeah, those inexplicable WCW cuts bothered me too. I bought Slamboree 93 and was upset that it didnt have Bagwell/Scorpio vs Benoit/Eaton, Sid squashing Van Hammer, or Roma joining the Horsemen.
