Did wrestler Solomon Grundy want pants too? Hmm, I think he is already covered. That's not Solomon Grundy, that's Current day Haley Joel Osment cosplaying as Hillbilly Jim

On the 2004 Royal Rumble, the video package for Brock Lesnar vs. Hardcore Holly shows footage of their September 2002 match where Holly injured his neck and has an audio clip of Tazz reacting. That clip is actually from Tazz calling Lesnar's beating of Zach Gowen on Smackdown in August 2003.

That on the Main Event #1, Hogan worked out to an early version of Jake Roberts theme.
To some of the theme/edit historians we've got here, is this a dub or is this the original music for the segment?

There were 3 different versions of that theme, yet until 2005, Jake only actually used one of them.

According to Xylot Themes as well, Jake actually started using the finished song at WMIV, a month or so after, which means they were working on the song and probs knew they were giving it Jake but chose to use it here anyway. So weird

So I've been watching some old NXT Takeover shows, at Unstoppable right now from 2015 and it is a little fascinating with regards to the women. I watched the Horsewomen 4 way last night and Those 4 ladies look different but also look the same. It's interesting. Charlotte, Bayley, and Sasha all still wear the same basic attire. Bayley, Sasha, and Becky all have different hair colors/styles now. Charlotte has changed the most physically, but again she still mostly looks the same. I know it's only 5 years, but I've seen shows where guys look radically different over that same time period.

Tori was a favourite of mine when I first started watching, so I decided to go back and see her run as Raven’s ninja. I was surprised by how prominent it was; she was featured on pretty much every RAW and Smackdown for over a month, and they built up a feud between her and Molly that the fans really reacted to. They do a tease of her getting unmasked and the fans eat it up, but then she isn’t on RAW or Smackdown for a week and she ends up getting unmasked on Heat and isn’t mentioned again. JR briefly mentions Raven is going solo and has dismissed his ninja the next night on RAW after the unmasking, and Tori doesn’t get named.
It’s all very weird. The angle is over with the crowd, so I don’t get why they did the unmasking on the least important show and then just drop it. I know that Raven and Tori had issues, but you’d have thought they’d just split the two of them and continue the Molly/Tori feud. Tori always gets talked of highly by Jim Ross and Bruce Prichard. Raven ended up getting paired with Terri a couple months later and hated that too; Terri said Raven was the only guy she worked with who she didn’t trust.

On the Dec. 17, 1999 episode of ECW Wrestling, Lance Storm says he and Justin Credible will give Tammy Sytch a reason to piss and moan. Dawn Marie then says, "She already did that." That was a reference to Sytch passing out and urinating on herself at the ECW Arena a couple months earlier.

Less something I learned and more something I felt affirmed is Ember Moon really should have been the one who defeated Asuka for the title at Takeover: Brooklyn 3. Asuka's reign by this point was getting stale and winning would have seriously done wonders for Ember. Asuka had already cheated to beat her before and cheated again in the rematch, so Ember overcoming that and winning is really what the story called for. Ember would win the vacant title, but it really felt like she was a paper champion. That feeling wouldn't have been there had she actually beaten Asuka. Plus, we wouldn't then have to deal with Charlotte being the one to beat her at Mania for some asinine reason.

I am glad you agree with me that Ember as NXT women's champion after losing to Asuka repeatedly and then her leaving without losing to anybody was weak. I really felt that way at the time. However I've never liked Ember's gimmick or booking so I just cackled like a loon when Asuka beat her every single time and laughed at her injured arm in the Rumble.

I wonder if there was something more to the Native American ceremony that took place on the last RAW before Wrestlemania X when Tatanks got that big headdress from Chief Ray Little Turtle in attendance of Chief Jay Strongbow and Wahoo McDaniel.
I mean, I got the impression that Chris Chavis legitimately cried during the course of it and his voice also quivered which seems strange for what was probably only an angle (since IRS destroyed it a few weeks later).

On the final episode of ECW on TNN, the two on camera appearances of Joey Styles and Joel Gertner are in the wrong order. They are clearly opening the show in the second one, and the segment shown first ends with them throwing to a match that airs much later in the show. To be clear, this was an ECW screw up, not WWE's, as the episode aired this way in 2000.

On the Dec. 12, 1987 episode of World Championship Wrestling, JJ Dillion cut a promo where he almost said "the legendary Vince McMahon" when referencing Vince Lombardi.

Yikes, 1975 Ivan Putski looks more like one of those pasty overweight jobbers you'd see on World Championship Wrestling in the 1980s than what he looked like at the tail end of his career in the 1980s.

Wondering who the old ring announcer is that preceded Howard Finkel on those 1973/75 Madison Square Garden shows.

Joe mchugh was the tv tapings ring announcer before finkel took over sometime in 1984 because joe mchugh did the David VonErich ten bell salute on TV after he died and David vonErich died in early 1984.

After seeing Joe McHugh on All Star Wrestling, I can say that that wasn't him.
It could be this Jack Lee guy but I cannot find anything on him on Google so I cannot confirm whether it's him or not.
