I still don't know why Strike Force wore headbands around their necks

Is there a reason the Network skips the go-home show to Wrestlemania IX?

I really can't decide how I feel about The Undertaker being the back-up to the "No Hope With Dope" girl's poem on an early Raw.

Is there a reason the Network skips the go-home show to Wrestlemania IX? There was no regular Raw episode that night. What aired was a 1-hour version of the previous night's "March to WrestleMania IX" special (which was 2 hours long during its initial, Sunday airing). WWE doesn't count the Monday edition as a Raw in their episode count.

Still find it fascinating how many famous WWF and WCW wrestlers really came through Mid-South Wrestling over the years. Besides some of the ones I already knew about before (Ted Dibiase, Junkyard Dog, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Jake Roberts), I learned about these by watching the 1982 episodes currently:
-Paul Orndorff -The Wild Samoans -One Man Gang -Tully Blanchard -Wayne Ferris aka The Honky Tonk Man -B. Brian Blair -Buddy Landell -"Iron" Mike Sharpe

King of The Ring 93 is an underrated little show. The ending angle, after that really intense Hart/Bigelow match, is f***ing NUCLEAR with the crowd.

On a 98 Nitro, after attacking DDP backstage, Bret Hart denies it, saying Page slipped on a banana peel.
Bret's heel run in the second half of 1998 is really underrated.

Young stallions/the shadows was the Kofi/Ziggler of the 80's.

But yeah Mid South had a ton of people come through their doors that would go on to have success in WCW/NWA/WWF, etc.

Having only seen a brief clip of Ravishing Rick Rude in NWA from the Starrcade 1986 VHS before, I am stunned that he already came in with essentially the same gimmick he had for the majority of his career.

More like something I've learned because of the Network, not necessarily through it, but I'm at the point in Monday Night Raw's history where "The Macho Midget" is a thing, and I went down a rabbit hole and learned that Tiger Jackson, who played MM, is apparently still wrestling as of this year.

Not sure if this was mentioned or not, but on the 10/19/98 Nitro from Minneapolis, you can see a young Shawn Daivari getting interviewed by Mike Tenay.

I dont have the network but my mate was watching and sent me a clip from the first Raw, they come back from break and HBK is wrestling, Rob Bartlett just goes "You missed it during the break folks, Shawn Michales pulled a knife" and Vince kind of laughs awkwardly and was like "Stop, stop it Rob, it's not that Raw!". So I learned that that was frickn' hilarious. 24:57 in this: youtu.be/iS4o4ldqPGkEdit: Actually now I'm learning that it was probably scripted, which is even more baffling. I thought it was just classic mad Bartlett but later he starts doing a Mike Tyson impression with Vince and Macho playing along and the whole thing is nonsensical but clearly Vince thinking adding some random comedy in to commentary would be "raw" and edgy. And they also go straight into the "Uncut, Uncensored and Uncooked" thing after the knife comment which made it seem planned.

Are we 100% sure Curtis Axel is not Jim Brunzell's kid? Because bearded Bunzell looks like Axel

Even though it DID make the team better, The Undertaker's promo joining the All-Americans is still f***ing weird.

Man, Shawn looked like garbage at Survivor Series 1993. Also, Ray Combs gets in the line of the night, in regards to Owen living in Bret's "shadow" right as he hits an amazing move: "That ain't no shadow, Bobby, that's the sun shining!"
