Twin Cinema posted:Thanks for all the info. My memories of 1997-1999 wrestling are so fragmented that I can only remember the wrestlers being on television, but I can't remember why they were there. For example, I remember the Oddities and all of their members (which, unfortunately, includes ICP), but I don't remember any of their main feuds or any match featuring them. Wikipedia tells me they feuded with Kaientai, but I don't remember that at all. They had a match against them on Summerslam, but I really don't think they feuded. Even in 1998, not every match on every PPV was a feud match, as crazy as that sounds today.

Oddities feuded with The Bushwhackers over and over. It was really lame because there were 4 or 5 Oddities, two bushwhackers, and the Bushwackers always lost. It was frankly boring as hell.

If it did happen someone please post videos, but I cannot believe it happened.

I remember oddities fueding or at least having a match with kaientai at slam 98 and I think that was the only real program they had.

I remember watching Raw after Ground Zero for the aftermath of the Hart/Patriot match and it was like the Patriot didn't exist. There was no mention of him at all. Not that it was a bad thing. He was really dull in the ring and his gimmick sucked.

This may seem like a stupid question but who are John Cena's friends in the locker room? Or is he like Kobe Bryant where he tries too hard to have people like him or do people like him?

What was up with Shawn Michaels' face when he first came back? I have seen clips of him at Wrestlemania 19 and his upper lip looked stiff. There's really no other way to describe it. It looks as if he can't move part of his face.

I know I've seen pictures and videos of him with different groups of wrestlers (The youtube of UMAGAAAAAA slapping the gently caress out of a spirit squad member comes to mind) but he doesn't seem to have a clique (Kliq?) style group. I feel like he is generally well-liked though, and his appearances on shows like Howard Stern make it seem hard to hate the guy, even if you hate his character. To be honest I don't know a lot of modern WWE BFF groups, I get the feeling it is more 'who wants to go to the bar tonight' for a lot of them.

Yeah I've also heard he's good buddies with CM Punk and even fat ol' Samoa Joe, so it just sounds like he's a hell of a nice guy who everybody gets along with.

Yeah, I confused the two tag teams. But the matches WERE boring. "Real men wear pants you idiot!" - One of the 13 things the crowd yells in WWF: Attitude (or maybe the game that came before it). I know two of the mocap guys, because one of them lost to CM Punk at Summerslam and the other one just came back to Smackdown.
