The Bret Hart/ Will sasso Mad TV episode

[Benjamin Boone]

I just watched it today on Comedy Central and my God was it dumb. First, they had Michael Buffer announce what happened in the infamous Bret and Will fight (thank God he did, because I didn't watch WCW then). Then it culminated between an arm wrestling match (HUH?) between Will and Bret with heel Debra Wilson (who had a funny sketch with Nicole Sullivan the segment prior). Before this happens, Will plays a tape of Debra and Bret hugging before the match begins (The shenanigans! BAW GAWD! The crowd laughs at this). Will beats Bret because Bret is favoring his injured groin, and celebrates, but Bret smashes him with his crutch (BAW GAWG KEENG! THAT"S HENIOUS!!!). This leads to the run in by Roddy Piper spraying hair spray into Bret's eyes, causing him to punch the ref and leave (THAT's how you take care of business! Something well learned in the Stu's Dungeon). This leads to the end of the show where Will and Debra kiss and make up, thanks to Piper (What a guy!). It should also be mentioned that the crowd laughed several times during this dumb segment.

This is what I witnessed today, and I hope you post this induction soon, because this is prime A Wrestlecrap waiting to be flushed! Listen to the masses RD! They chant it!

Yeah, I really need to induct that. I believe I even have the footage floating around some place....

I also watched one about 2 months ago.The sketch was
that some guy was running for Congressman or something and had Bret Hart{the current U.S. champ at the time}on his side.

The crowd{rather cast} kept asking questions that seemed like the Congressman couldnt answer,and
Bret would go out and take care of it by intimidating them.Then he got to Debra Wilson and put her on a wristlock for a few seconds before Debra said he was doing it too hard.Bret kept the lock on and she screamed about how this wasnt part of the sketch.
The cast{out of character]tried to get Bret off,and Will Sasso was hit with a chair I elieve.Then he put Sasso in the Sharpshooter,to wich I applauded.He then went backstage ranting on about how MadTV sucks and how they taunted him about Goldberg.

I dont think it was Wrestlecrap worthy,just mindless fun.

That was an attempt to generate work/shoot buzz in the entertainment world along the lines of Kaufman/Lawler. It didn't work, it's serious wrestlecrap in my books.

Also the time Sting showed up to mess with Arquette who was hosting dressed like Senor Crap.....I don't know if RD can handle more Arquette Wrestlecrap......

The whole Will Sasso/Bret Hart feud was one of those things that I felt embarrassed to be a wrestling fan watching it with non-wrestling fans.

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

I think the Hart/Sasso stuff would have been perfectly fine if they just kept it as a Mad TV skit and nothing more. It was pretty funny, and it accomplished the task of spoofing wrestling.

The second Will Sasso stepped foot into a live WCW arena to promote this "feud", it was all downhill from there. The whole "swerve" where Debra Wilson "turned on" Will was just Russo kicking the audience while they were down, and then twisting their nuts with a pipe wrench.

On a side note, Debra Wilson's knockers are so big, I am genuinely shocked that she hasn't yet been the WWE Women's Champion.

Debra Wilson is one of my favorite celebrities.Damn she is hot.

The "congressman" in that skit (Will sasso) was supposed to be Jesse Ventura I think.

There was another sketch involving Bret Hart and Sasso playing a young guy's father. The young guy is picked on by his whole family and he gets Bret " The Hitman" Hart to help him out. I actually found this sketch moderately funny.

This is what suppossedly ticked Bret off, and why he attacked Sasso. the think I thought was funny was the audience laughed through the whole Bret attack Sasso, Bret yelling at the audience.

I also remember after Wilson turned on Sasso, they had them back on Mad Tv, trying to find out why Wilson had turned on Sasso, and at the end Piper shows up and I think chases Bret off or something, but anyway Wilson and Sasso walk off when Piper is trying to be buddies with everyone.

lol

[Hypnotix]

I remember the week after Wilson turned on Sasso on either Nitro or Thunder, Wilson explained this to Sasso by saying she attacked him so he wouldn't get hurt any more than he already was. Makes sense.

And by that I mean, no it doesn't.
