May be a fairly loose reference to wrestling, but during the new show Poker After Dark on NBC (which airs after Carson), Phil Hellmuth got upset about something, left the table, came back, lost the rest of his chips fairly quickly, then gets interviewed. At least twice, he said the atmosphere was like the "World Wide Wrestling Federation". It struck me funny that he would use a company name that hasn't been used since the early 80s. I don't think I have heard anyone say that exact name in my life.
And Phil is in his early 40s and seems sorta hip, but I guess he hasn't caught up with wrestling lately.
Just wanted to mention it.

I'm just pissed that they took off old Saturday Night Live reruns for this -except the ones from 1996 on, which theyve been showing lately

Well, I am a fan of those poker shows, but this one hasn't really been all that great so far, just really dull, and with Hellmuth losing on day 3, it sucked out so much energy and made it dull. But next week has Matusow, Negranu, Doyle Brunson, and Gabe Kaplan (Mr. Kotter), so I'll give it another week

during the new show Poker After Dark on NBC (which airs after Carson) It took me a few seconds to realize you meant Carson Daly and not Johnny Carson. |

Maybe on Hellmuth's upcoming appearence on the Surreal Life he'll learn a thing or two about wrestling from housemate "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

I noticed that MST3K also referred to the WWF as "The World Wide Wrestling Federation", even as far into the final season in 1999, so maybe it's just one of those things that sticks in your mind and just doesn't change.

My opinion of poker shows is that they're only entertaining if Randy & Jason Sklar are mocking them. (Hellmuth was even on a few of those episodes, IIRC)

On tonight's ep, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson was playing, and the commentator mentioned that he looked quite similar to "WWE's Undertaker". I guess he sorta does.

He sort of does look like a younger version on the undertaker. although it would be gangster if he busted out the tombstone pliedriver after he eliminated someone. |
