There was an event at the local community college, we found out the promoter was a professor so we emailed him and asked if we could help out with the next show. Over the next few months we would show up and help put up chairs and tear down the ring.

This whole time we had been doing backyard wrestling and that's what lead up to the match described above.

After all that the promoter started a wrestling school. It was $1000 for 8 or 9 weeks every Saturday from noon to 9 or so. The trainer was some guy from Louisiana "All American" Jeremy Young and his "brother" Rick Christy.

All we really learned how to do was take a bump and run the ropes. All that mat wrestling and grappling poo poo? Not for me, I just wanted to do flippy poo poo and copy spots from japan that would make my freinds (not the fans) laugh

I have to fly to Florida to get it done, since in California it's legally considered blackface

Disclaimer: I actually like the Miz, as a 40-year-old he's better than most midcard WWE guys on the mic and can take dumb comedy angles and make them at least somewhat fun without sulking about it. But lmao at having him literally get beaten up by the special guest music act for a month and then suddenly he's your champion

Raw Report April 5th, 1993

Wrestlemania IX is over! Let's see what new stories we get now. I'm looking forward to more Luna and less Doink (we can hope).
..............


Up first it's Virgil against Bam Bam Bigelow. Anyone else remember Bam Bam best in that old NES game? I haven't played it since I was a kid, but I bet that game is pretty drat awful in 2021.



Virgil is far too normal for 1993 WWF. He looks like an actual professional athlete who doesn't understand why his opponents keep cheating and wearing strange outfits.

You heard it here first: Wrestlemania IX well go down in history as "the greatest Wrestlemania of all time." drat!



Wow! Hell of a top rope drop kick right into Bam's bigelow.

But it's not enough and Virgil gets defeated by a giant flying tubby guy.

..................


Jerry Lawler gets teased

..................

Yokozuna's manager claims his title loss at WIX to Hogan was only a verbal contract and, thus, not legally binding. Because, you know, the WWF is big on sticking to explicit rules and protocols.


..................


Lil' Bobby Backlund fights friggin' Kimchee. Good Lord. Why? For who?
"Hello Kimchee. Thanks for stopping by. Let's design your costume."
"Okay, sure, any ideas?"
"Beige"
"..."
"..."
"... anything else?"
"Pith helmet."
"You're kidding me."
"Look, we've got this half-finished mask. Take it or leave it."
"Can I at least get an interesting personality?"
"Just take the mask and get the hell out of here. I have actual important work to do."




Bobert beats Kimchee so I guess that will stave off retirement for another month or two.

.................

Jumping Jim Brunzell (who?) takes on Damien Demento solely so that they can squeeze in a "comedy" phone call bit with Rob Bartlett during the match and pad the runtime. No photo.

..................


Jerry Lawler gets teased again

.................


Bro Down! Beverly vs Steiner! I'm so PUMPED! Steiner! Steiner! Steiner!



Decimation! Bo Bev gets tossed like a pancake!



Now Other Beverly is getting his rear end kicked. This is so awesome.



We come back from commercial to the world's worst horsey ride.

Frankensteiner FTW.

.............


The King Jerry Lawler continues the doofy storyline where he doesn't want to wrestle because people are making fun of him but finally he gets into his match.

After Vince asks Savage to stay calm: "Hard to calm down when it's the calm before the storm!" Macho Man, you are a TREASURE.

Since Eclipse12 just finished covering WrestleMania 9, I think now's a good time to mention the most amazing album in history, WrestleMania: The Album, which came out to promote the show.



It's a loving weird album where each track is a bunch of wrestling promos with music added around it. Simon Cowell was behind it, only he didn't know anything about wrestling, so... he winged it, I guess?

The songs are all ridiculous, but the "WrestleMania" title track is mostly remembered for how it starts with a guy screaming, "Are you READY for the SURVIVOR SERIES?!" and Mean Gene repeatedly saying, "Who will survive?!" Wrong show, assholes!

Scott in particular is still kinda a big name, but I think the honest answer is that other than this WWF run (plus a short period in the early 2000s) they were WCW guys, and WCW lost the war. This is also why WWE decided that Sting was a guy finally getting his shot to prove himself rather than a guy who was the face of a worldwide company for a decade, and that DDP was a funny dude who was there for a while, despite being more over when he showed up than just about anyone on their roster.

Shahid Khan is ultimately richer than Vince McMahon, so that's pretty much a no

That said, the Khans do seem like they're intending to run a vaguely profitable enterprise and don't have the same revenue streams in 2021, so WWE can keep a lot of guys around just by driving a dump truck full of money to their house
