More of a meta-wrestling question. I've read all of CRZ's recaps up until he stopped doing it in 2002-ish. Did/does anyone else do similar style recaps?

When did Finkel stop being the main ring announcer? They should just keep growing new Finkels.

Was there anyone in the IWC that picked up the ball from CRZ as far as detailed recaps of the weekly shows after he stopped doing it? I always enjoy going back and re-reading those, and am hoping that someone else is/was out there.

So I'm watching the OMG Top 50 WWE thing that's on Netflix now...and it's talking about referee Tim White trying to kill himself on a weekly basis? :psyduck: Man, what happened to the WWE after the "Invasion"?

Barry "Krusher Khruschev/Demolition Smash/Repo Man/Blacktop Bully/Mr. Hole-in-One" Darsow springs to mind.

Wouldn't IRS also count? Or did he only have 1 gimmick in WCW?

Barry Windham counts for at least...3, I think. Windham/Widowmaker/Blackjack Someone.

Was Bradshaw the other "New" Blackjack?

Not to mention there was a brief moment where Edge and Triple H were interacting and being smug douches towards each other that made me think,"You know THAT could be a really good match."

Did they ever have any notable 1-1 matches?

What happened to Hogan between WM7 and 1993 where he seemingly lost a ton of muscle definition and just looked instantly older in 2 years? I watched a bit of that video of him vs Muta and he looks so much....older. Just age descending like a freight train?

First match I have memory of watching is Megapowers/Twin Towers from that SNME, but I know I must have watched wrestling prior to that. I was 11 or so, I remember being so confused. "Why doesn't Hogan tell Macho they won the match? That'd make him calm down!"

WWF was in the midst of the steroid trial, so they did what they could to disguise the fact that their guys were getting smaller now that they were off the juice.

Is that why they started the Icopro thing? To say they were on supplements rather than steroids?

Watching RR93 on the Network...Heenan keeps talking about the debut of the Narcissist, but he's pronouncing it really oddly, was that just something he was doing? Also, man I only vaguely remember the Steiners in WWE. I don't see how/why Scott went from Steiner brother Scott to Big Poppa Pump Scott.

At that point, he wasn't "the Narcissist", he was "Narcissus".

That's what it sounded like to me, but he would put a "The" in front of it half the time and I got confused. Also, holy crap this crowd loves the Steiners.

Are there any other examples of wrestlers going from skinny -> huge in a short time frame, a la HHH from 1997-1999? I know Scott Steiner went from tiny to enormous, but I thought his was more gradual.
