Bruce stiffed Austin at Canadian Stampede with a shot to the kidney and hurting Austin, killing off any chances of Bruce getting a much desired full-time gig with the company.
Bruce the Deuce.

Bruce would probably say that Austin and everybody else used sway to keep him out, because they knew that he'd become the biggest star ever.

Man, Bam Bam Bigelow's "apology" to Lawrence Taylor post RR 95 is hilarious. Vince just scolding Bam Bam like he's a 5 year old that broke a lamp and tried to hide it.

Watching the 1991 Royal Rumble has taught me that as much as we have criticized the Iraq sympathizer Sgt. Slaughter angle, it seemed to get a lot of heat with the live crowd. Of course it helped that the Royal Rumble happened in the lead up to the war and a lot of trepidation as to what could happen, and WrestleMania VII happened after it had ended (although watching Mania right now, the crowd still seems pretty hot. But that's probably more because it's "Hogan challenging for the title against heel champion"). When Slaughter pins Warrior for the title there is a loud "bullshit" chant (in fairness, the outside interference was blatant as hell). And when Hogan won the Rumble, his patriotic grandstanding (waving old glory, holding up signs saying "peace in the Middle East" and "Slaughter and Sadam will both surrender") got rapturous applause. But again, timing.
Addendum: I just got to Hogan's post match celebration after winning the title from Slaugher and Monsoon states that the war is now "officially over". So until then, f*** whatever treaty that the U. S. and Iraq came to terms on. Hogan winning the title cemented it!

Man, watching Vince McMahon and Jim Cornette call Kama vs. Ken Raper is....uncomfortable.

I didn't know that Steve McMicheals did commentary on bot Raw and Nitro in the same year.

Watching In Your House: D-Generation X. I learned 3 things.
1) Savio Vega & Los Boricuas sang their theme song to the ring. 2) Butterbean fought Marc Mero before his Brawl For All against Bart Gunn. 3) Sgt. Slaughter came out to The Patriot's (Later Kurt Angle's) Theme.

Andre the Giant vs. Bam Bam Bigelow. Rodger Kent, Lord Alfred Hayes, and Superstar Billy Graham are clearly sitting at ringside. Gorilla Monsoon is doing commentary though which is clearly an overdub. Bobby Heenan escorts Andre to the ring and then leaves. He then joins Gorilla on commentary. That's a very unique way of trying to make it seem like they were doing commentary live.

I always figured Jerry Flynn was a WCW-exclusive jobber, but nope, seeing him make appearances in the WWF is just weird.

In 1984 Vince did not know what a Burrito was

They ran the Best of TNT episode of Prime Time twice. Apparently the guys uploading the episodes didn't realize this.

The Killer Bees stopped teaming up at the end of August of 1988. Brunzell even had non-Bee tights as early as September. Not sure what Blair was wearing just yet.

I think you're mixing your Jerry Flynns & Jerry Lynns Jerry Flynn was the martial artist jobber with a crackling mullet who made up half of Goldberg's streak & got a brief push late on in WCW Jerry Lynn was the WCW's Mr JL, ECW, WWE Light-Heavyweight Champion, TNA & ROH guy

Man, pity the poor bastard jobbers that had to cart King Mabel around on his palanquin.

It's up twice because it really was re-aired in September 1988, and WWE counts it as another episode. That week, PTW only aired on the west coast, so they just re-ran the TNT special instead of producing a new episode. In 1989 and 1990, there were WC exclusive episodes as well, but they were actually new. Why the Sept. airing is considered a new episode in the count, I don't know, but they did change some things. If you watch the September edition, it has the 1988-1991 PTW intro while the original March version has the 1986-88 opening. Also, Vince's references to WrestleMania 4 results coming "next week" were cut out of the re-airing.

One of my favorite JR quotes happened on the 5-4-98 episode of Raw. "Who does he (Mr. McMahon) think he is? Dick Clark?" 😄

Just how f***ing rickety the scaffold is at Starrcade 1986. I've seen the actual bumps of this match countless times yet I'm still terrified. Railings were becoming loose and falling off yet these men still trusted it enough to dangle from these same railings.
Also its way too f***ing high. Jeff Hardy would say f*** that, give me six tables or something to land on. Its higher than Foley's cell falls.

Lynn had the series of matches with RVD in ECW, Flynn was the guy who did some MMA matches and ended up with Jimmy Hart's First Family faction in late 1999.
