Another one from my 2002 rewatch. I believe the 1st episode of the year they formed a super heel faction of Vince McMahon, Booker T and the Big Bossman. The 3 of them combined laid out the Rock and Austin to end the episode. Austin was actually left bloody. I believe the next week Bossman got squashed and none of this was ever mentioned again. Watching this for the 1st time absolutely shocked me. How do you begin such a hot angle and then never mention it again? Does anybody have any information on this? I've never heard it mentioned in a shoot or seen anything on this forum. I've literally never heard anything about it. If I hadn't seen it I wouldn't believe that ever happened. Did this bleed over from late 2001? I know Booker and Austin has the legendary grocery store fight in December 2001. Was the 3 of these guys laying them out payback for that fight?

Bret Hart was defending his Intercontinental title against Shawn Michael in Michaels' hometown of San Antonio. Bret was the popular babyface but the fans booed him lustily while they cheered for their hometown heel HBK.

Twice IWGP titles changed hands on TV.....yet they weren't approved by NJPW. At first anyway.
1st was Jushin Thunder Liger losing the IWGP World Jr. Heavyweight Championship on Nitro to Juventude via a tequila bottle. He would beat Psicosis who subbed for the injured Juvi the next week to get the belt back.
2nd was in TNA where the British Invasion beat the Dudleyz in a Tables Match for the IWGP Tag Team Championship. The Dudleyz got the belts back at Bound for Glory in a Full Metal Mayhem match.

Fake Undertaker (Brian Lee) pinned Tatanka cleanly on WWF Superstars. Had several squashes too. No matter what anyone says I still love this angle The Brooklyn Brawler becoming The Boston Brawler for one night only in WWECW This happened on Smackdown after trashing Heidenreich's poem. Or did he appear as it a second time?

Kurt Angle appearing on Smackdown in his hometown of Pittsburgh. He was a heel and did the cheap antics to get over with the crowd by insulting the Steelers. Fans actually cheered him on: "Angle! Angle! Steelers Suck!" Oh, it's true. It's true.

Weekly PPV Era TNA has some of the most unforgettable f***ery to me that nobody ever mentions. Like, when they were doing an angle about Shane Douglas having a mystery bro in the X-Division and totally spoiled it by accidentally playing a Matt Bentley/Shane Douglas mashup theme that they super super weren't supposed to yet when Matt was entering. Literally throughout the match, Mike & Don are on commentary like "it could be anyone. it could be Christopher Daniels." as if nothing happened lmao
Also Roddy Piper did a promo outside of a hospital in the middle of winter and it was so windy outside that you couldn't hear anything he was saying.

Does anyone remember during the Big Show/Sheamus feud (well, one of them) where Big Show came out and just started hitting the ground with a chair that wouldn't break for him too easy while on like the verge of tears??? What even was that

Hak (The Sandman) coming to the ring smoking a cigarette and Eric Bischoff tries to make him put it out.
The Undertaker doing color commentary for a Big Show match in the late 90s.
Mark Henry's "stank." 2005ish?

On Raw during the build to Survivor Series 2003, HHH is doing an in ring promo (shocking I know) along with one of the SS teams. I can't remember the exact line or who or what he was referencing but HHH said "that's mighty white of you" HHH then looks at Teddy Long, Mark Henry and Booker T who were all in the ring and say to them "no offense guys". Ahh, 2003 HHH a class act from the beginning of the year until the end.

I could've sworn I heard a promo of Ahmed Johnson's brief time in the Nation where he said something to the effect of "we're Black, and Black people are suppose to be the bad guys." Does anybody else remember it or is it just me?

I’ve never been able to find it, but there was a WWF PSA in I wanna say like ‘95 where Diesel, looking all menacing, is carrying a guitar case on an elevator. The implication is that he’s got a gun in there. He ends up going into a daycare centre or preschool and opens up the guitar case to reveal 8x10 photos and a Sharpie, which he uses to sign autographs for the kids. The kicker is when the daycare supervisor/preschool teacher walks over to Diesel and attempts to offer him money for his appearance, but KEVIN NASH of all people refuses a payday and says “No, I can’t accept that.” I think OSW had this in a recent episode.

I never hear about Crash Holly's short-lived alliance with Dean Malenko sometime in 2000. I even remember Malenko being interviewed over wheather or not Crash was the culprit who ran down "Stone Cold" and he said something to the effect of "Even though they call him Crash it's not likely."

What even was that Wait, what? Lmao I do not remember that. I only remember like two things from their World Title feud. They had some stupid gimmick in the ring like this was in the DBZ World Tournament using the punching machine They had a contest on who hits harder. Big Show WMD finisher or Sheamus Brogue Kick. I want to say Sheamus hit registered harder but only thing I remember after that is their criminally good WH title match Then again I might be slowly losing my mind and made that first part up with the machine in the ring

This segment did happen. I was at this SD taping, I believe it was in October 2012. They brought out that punching machine which is the same machine you see in the arcade at Dave and Busters to see how hard you punch. The only thing you were incorrect about was, the arcade machine was on the stage and not in the ring. Booker T was the moderator of this disaster as this was during his time as Smackdown GM.

Booker: ALICIA FOX IS LIKE CRACKED. BLACK. PEPPER, DOOOOGGG!!!
Cole: Did you just refer to Alicia Fox as cracked black pepper???!!!
