I'm an episode or so behind, but you're at the time when Men on a Mission came in. Even then I thought that they were absolutely terrible, and it says a lot about the state of WWF tag team wrestling in the mid 90s that they got such a big push. They were slow and plodding in the ring, had ridiculous attire, looked uncomfortable in the ring and, to top it off, had one of the most irritating sidekicks in wrestling history with Oscar. Although I wasn't into rap then (or indeed now), I can appreciate it as an art form but Oscar's 'Wave your hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care!' line was hardly Tupac or Snoop Dogg. Turning them heel didn't help either, as they still had the same limitations. Not a good time for tag team wrestling in general.
Incidentally, Bob, I know that, despite what Austin says, you're not 43...but some of us are. I can assure you it's not that bad a deal once you get there. Just sayin'...

It's the biggest event of the winter! Okay, maybe not. But, it's the fourth pay per view for the WWF and it's full of elimination matches and a SMW Tag Team Title match in front of a Boston crowd! We chat about the pay per view and discuss what worked and what failed miserably. icopod.podbean.com/e/episode-48-wwf-survivor-series-1993/

Good job on the Survivor Series episode, guys - the Doinks match sounds like it should be watched JUST to see how shitty it is!
I don’t know if Bob has listened to the STWW podcast of this show, but if not there’s a story of how filming the Luger family welcome at the start of the show took FOUR HOURS to complete...! I appreciate they need to test for lighting, camera angles and the like, but four hours...!

Four freaking hours. Wow.

Four freaking hours. Wow. Yep, four hours, although I don’t think it was down to Luger being poor on the mic. According to Bruce it was going okay until Lex’s son got upset about something, Lex got mad at his son and Mrs Lex got mad at Lex. That must have been awkward if you’re Bruce and the film crew! 😀

NEW BONUS EPISODE! Several people asked us to do a bonus episode on Battle Royal at Albert Hall.... So, here we are. So, listen to us as we sit through three hours of a show everyone wanted us to see. Will we love it? Or, are we going to resent you all for this? icopod.podbean.com/e/bonus-episode-8-wwf-battle-ro…/

As I type this, you guys are talking about Yoko Claus. I’m 100% with Austin on this! Putting your monster heel in a comedy skit takes away their aura and mystique, and just makes them look silly. You want your monster heel to show no weaknesses, and having them scared from a nightmare makes them look weak and cowardly. Do it with someone lower on the roster like Booger or Bomb, someone who doesn’t really figure in the bigger scheme of things.
