What was the deal with that bit in late-era WCW when Savage announced his new protege, and then it was never mentioned again? How did Mean Gene Okerlund get his nickname? When people talk about Vince yelling into the announcer's mics, are they being literal or metaphorical?

In the WWF Aki games for the N64, Vince McMahon has a special move called the "Mac Stunner" that's a variation on the Stone Cold Stunner. Did Vince ever try to use this move on WWF TV? (Also, any finishing move for Vince should just be called "What a Maneuver".)

In rec.sport.pro-wrestling, Neidhart jokes were so common that when asking questions that used the word "who," people would add "(n. N.)" for "not Neidhart."

Why did they have Mongo disappear forever after getting detergent thrown in his eyes, and not have anyone else replace him in the Four Horsemen? (I'm guessing, that like most dead ends in WCW, there was no good explanation)

How many times had Andre lost before Wrestlemania III? I've seen the match where Inoki made him tap out, and I've heard of another match in Japan where he lost by ref stoppage, but are there any others?

I haven't kept up with Scott Keith in recent years, but I thought his reviews were hilarious around the turn of the century. Why is he so hated? (And yes, I'm aware that there plenty of people who hated him even back then)

Has the WWE been to Denver since the whole Nuggets incident? I can imagine Vince being petty enough to stay away from there on purpose. Oh, and the Rock was definitely a face when he slammed Bulldog into the dog poop. I also remember that he screwed Bulldog out of the title as a special referee for no reason at all. "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE ROCK SAYS THE COUNT IS!"

I don't remember it leading to an actual match (and if it did, it probably wasn't any good), but the Ernest Miller/Scott Norton feud was pretty amusing.

I understand that by the time that wrestling really hit it big in the mid-80's, Andre the Giant was just a shell of his former self. Did he have any really good matches earlier in his career that are worth watching?

Goldust's match against the Warrior is the 4' 33" of wrestling- he was injured and the entire match is just them walking around the ring for eight minutes.

The Hogan-Hart Nitro match where Bret got injured, Sting took his place in the middle of the match and then got betrayed by Bret was really, really stupid. At least, that's how I remember it. wwe.com mentioned it in a feature called "10 dream matches that actually happened" and didn't even mention how it ended, probably because they were embarrassed. quote:On a Mount Rushmore of great WWE heroes, Hulk Hogan and Bret “Hit Man” Hart would be butting heads alongside “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Bruno Sammartino. It might come as a surprise then that the two Superstars who dominated the WWE Title picture for much of the early ’90s never actually squared off in a WWE ring. http://www.wwe.com/classics/classic-lists/10-dream-matches-that-actually-happened/page-2 EDIT: The match in question, with French announcers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuzP8KmRmNY I love the "OTHER CHANNEL JACKASS" sign. The Monkey Man fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Sep 20, 2013 |

Onmi posted:The term itself? Not sure, I think the term "Ruthless Aggression" however came about first from either an Angle or a McMahon promo where they mentioned the concept. I'm pretty sure it was a McMahon promo. I remember groaning the second time he used the phrase because I knew we would get it shoved down our throats.

MassRafTer posted:They did a nothing match full of stalling that ended in a count out on PPV. Warrior was going to be their big draw and Goldust was IC champion, they didn't want either to lose and had to work around an injury... and Warrior being in the ring. I remember Scott Keith giving that match -*****. I don't think they even made contact.
