I always figured Jerry Flynn was a WCW-exclusive jobber, but nope, seeing him make appearances in the WWF is just weird. I think you're confusing Jerry Lynn with Jerry Flynn. 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. Don't forget his great feud with Goldberg.

Nikolai Volkoff and Iron Mike Sharpe had a one on one match at the end of November of 1988 where Sharpe jumped Volkoff while he was singing the Russian National Anthem. I think that was supposed to get a babyface pop but people are just confused.

If a couple of his early debut vignettes were to be believed, apparently Goldust was setting up to come in to feud with the Undertaker. Wonder why that plan changed.

Also - Flynn is the worst wrestler to ever live. Lynn was not.

Man, In Your House IV is a DOG of a show, but thumbs up for spotting a super young Rhyno as one of Mabel's litter-bearers during his match with Yokozuna.

Also, Clarence Mason is a really underrated, unfairly maligned part of the 95-97 years of the WWF.

A few notes from Survivor Series 1995.
-I only knew of about half the women in the Women's Survivor Series Match but they were so much more talented then what the Divas division would turn into in the coming years.
-During the Royals/Darkside match, The Darkside (minus taker) came out wearing Undertaker shirts, however Fatu also came out wearing a BSK beanie. I didn't think the B.S.K ever hard their own merch. Though something tells me it wasn't WWF made.
-The Wildcard Survivor Series Match was a really great match. Everyone in it was awesome (even Yoko) all the face/heel match-ups were great I highly recommend it.
-When Diesel knocked Bret from the apron through the announce table I think Hugo Savinovich was knocked out. He's laying on the ground for at least 5 minutes before finally getting back to the table.

Awesome bit of (coincidental?) foreshadowing during the debut episode for Lex Luger on NWA World Championship Wrestling in January 1987:
Lex Luger makes his intentions known to join the Four Horsemen and the first person to directly confront him about not doing this is...Barry Windham.

Ted DiBiase had a match against Koko B. Ware where he never took his pants off

I learnt that Chris Jericho's titantron video was first used by Shane McMahon in December '98...obviously sans the Jericho part of the video

A relatively minor one, but Vince McMahon really, REALLY doesn't understand how to use the phrase "notwithstanding". He just peppers commentary with it regardless of whether or not the situation is appropriate for it.

ECW November 2 Remember 1997- Francine was wearing crutches. Guess she must have gotten injured at a prior show.

Not the Network, but watching the old XWF DVD and an aging Marty Jannetty comes out to a Jimmy Hart version of Last Resort.
EDIT: Jesus, they're trying to push Josh Mathews.

Well, just after Tough Enough, he actually looked like he could have potential as a cruiserweight, so pushing Josh wasn't THAT outlandish at the time.

Raw disappeared for a month after the Summerslam go-home show. Tennis, I presume.

Nitro wasn't Steve McMichael's first time at the broadcast table; he did commentary on the 3/13/95 episode of Raw.
Also, I didn't realize that two members of LT's All-Pro Team would later face each other in WCW: McMichael and Reggie White.

Seeing Vince Russo in the "Billionaire Ted" skits is f***ing weird, even though I know that that's right in his wheelhouse.
