You need to look up the Raven/Sandman segments that reveal that Raven is just a spoiled rich kid, and Sandman is his rich preppy neighbor. Then watch the Junkyard Invitation since basically 90% of the people in that match got injured.

Yes, I recommend this.

I still want to know what the gently caress was going on in that match. It is impossible to see and shot so so poorly.

I still want to know why there was a car with gas in the tank.

Really you have to half-heartedly flip over a barrel with burning stuff in it into a convenient gas trail leading back to a car while hobbling away because you severed a nerve in your leg.

More than likely it was bought at auction when they gutted the place. I have found some amazing deals after restaurants have failed.

Maybe he's referring to that time Scott Hudson was forced to do commentary all night shirtless (but with a tie) for making fun of someone else (maybe Madden?) for how they looked without a shirt. Motherfucker still looked like he had a sweater on, he could've been Albert's (Lord Tensai's?) manager back in the day.

It wouldn't surprise me. For a few months following the reboot, it seemed like every other word out of everyone's mouths were either BISCHOFF or RUSSO.

The Junkyard Invitational is approaching "Hogan and Andre at Wrestlemania III" levels of hyperbole, I think.

"Every single person who wrestled in the Junkyard Invitational was permanently crippled by the first minute of the match; this reminds me of when Hogan press-slammed all 93,000 pounds of Andre from the roof of the Pontiac Silverdome."

Curt Hennig just cut a promo on Goldberg and either the video kept glitching or they were beeping out Goldberg's name every time Curt said it. Was it because he was saying "Bill Goldberg" instead of just "Goldberg"? Or am I imagining things?

Oh, he also called him a skinhead.

I recall DDP and Nash talking about Scott Hall one week when they were censoring his name out. There was a light swinging above their head backstage which made the lighting very distracting and every other word was bleeped.

Ernest Miller just came out with Sonny Ono and did a big dance thing before Buff Bagwell showed up and kicked his rear end. Then we get a recap of Judge Mill Lanes refereeing a boxing match between Roddy Piper and Buff, being seconded by Judy Bagwell.

Really, I'm not saying its good... but how can you take your eyes off it?

Last night I went to bed to Lenny Lane and Lodi eluding to be a tag team or a couple. This morning I woke up to the Hardcore street fight in the junk yard. How I miss you WCW. Highlight was seeing Flair being president of WCW and saying how he will never pass the torch. This was 1999.

I think I've only seen this interview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd8jJkiCNAQ, though that gets the idea across too. Slightly embarassing to watch at parts.

On the other hand, has the "Ric Flair gets sent to the insane asylum where Scott Hall makes a cameo appearance" storyline happened yet on that feed's schedule?

Yeah, this already happened. I kind of remember seeing it happen way back when, but I don't think I really remembered how long the stupid thing lasted. It was a good few weeks of sketches from that place, though we did get WOOOO VP Lil Naitch running the show, which was actually pretty entertaining.

I think it almost hits the right point for me as far as my pro wrestling fondnesses go. It's so silly, it nearly goes in that full circle of being amusing because of how stupid it is. At least Flair took the idea and ran with it in character. I feel strange for thinking badly of anything on TV that gives Ric Flair the opportunity to go mental.

I am also fond of Lil Naitch.

Piper showed up and immediately feuded with Hollywood Hogan.
There was your standard contract signing leading up to the match.
Piper won with a sleeper.
Then it was revealed that it was a non-title match and Piper was a fool.

Piper wrote the contract which makes it more baffling that he wants to kick Hogan's rear end but not win the title if he succeeds.

The thing about it being a Non Title match was when Piper was brought into WCW he was billed as not being a member of WCW, he was a free agent essentially. Except that he stuck around until 2000....
