All this talk about John Tenta makes me wonder - was Dino Bravo always loving terrible? Like, I know he got merc'd in Quebec and all, but in retrospect he just always looked awful. The only thing that ever sticks in my head about Dino Bravo is him doing an airplane spin on a short clip used in the movie "Encino Man" (and goddamn it I still want the source tape for that match), and the Earthquake "man from the crowd" bit that introduced Tenta proper.

Was I the only kid who thought that the ref you could bump in WWF Royal Rumble was modeled after Garvin?

This really isn't a question, but after seeing those pictures from the 2017 Royal Rumble where Braun and Bray were golf-carted to the ring, I'm jonesing for the return of Ring Carts. We're almost there! I'm a little surprised that Roman didn't take a cart to the ring, what with his cardio and shameful back.

Is there any chance of there being any Network effort to digitize/release the jobber shows? I know that watching 1990 episodes of Wrestling Challenge probably sounds lame as heck, but I thirst for the green screen backdrop promos and the one obscure episode where Dino Bravo used an Airplane Spin as shown in Encino Man.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:also this would be loving amazing. it seems like there's... just really, really huge gaps in the WWF/JCP/WCW TV on there from before the Monday Night Wars, like they have nearly nothing from the mid-80s up to the first Raw except SNME, the Coliseum Video tapes, and the PPVs. I think the only thing I might regret is trying to watch mid-90s Superstars and hearing that completely butt-awful country intro OH BOY HERE COMES VADER NOW

If WWE puts Bam Bam into the Hall next year because they’re in the neighborhood, would LT agree to indict him? Or would people want to distance themselves from the memory of the match?

MassRafTer posted:I was replying to an example from a few months ago. I mean he goes through phases where he's horribly out of shape and stinks, then gets in shape and is good and then it repeats. I mean the guy had to get out of the business (mostly) for a year in 2007 because he'd been so worn down in the previous decade (and to try and box.) He had a good run in 08, then the Jerishow run, then I honestly don't remember a ton until Braun but there's probably stuff in there since it is late and I'm tired. He had like eight turns. Maybe more. And the crying.

Jerusalem posted:One of the often repeated things about NXT is that it doesn't actually do anything overly complicated, it just takes basic stories and executes them well. Whaddya know, turns out people really loving like that! I’m pretty sure people are also sick to death of McMahon-spoonfed angles involving McMahons and their spouses. And wouldn’t you know, the only thing that comes close to that in NXT is HHH pointing at his own dick (figuratively, on Twitter) every single time something cool in NXT happens and we’re all irritated that the main roster isn’t getting the love.

Gavok posted:The one bump that always haunted me was Eddie Guerrero in his first WWF match. He hit a frog splash, but slammed his arms too hard into the mat and completely hosed up his elbow in a nasty-looking way. What made it worse was that we immediately got to see him react to it after the impact. Holy poo poo I watched that when it happened. I didn't realize that was his first match in the organization, though! Happened on a Smackdown, no?

Hey wrestlegoons. I have stumbled upon an ear worm that has reminded me of how terrible mid-90s syndicated television was: Until my brother got PrimeStar for the family, my last taste of the WWF was the Superstars theme from that era. I won’t say the name of the song or mention any of the quotes, but it’s absolutely awful Monday Night Football garbage and nobody needs that in their head. If you know it you know it and I’ve already done the damage and I’m sorry. No, I won’t link it. Here’s the question - how many revisions of it exist!?

The match featured briefly in Encino Man during the Wooly Bully montage, with Dino Bravo doing an airplane spin on somebody with Gorilla Monsoon on the call - I know I’ve asked this a few times, but is the full match located anywhere? All WWF video I’ve seen from the time period has him doing a Sidewalk Slam, so I’m confused as to the origins of the clip. And yes, I was inspired to ask this again because that dude’s gut reminds me of Dino Bravo.

There was a New Day promo from years ago that my wife and I still bring up, where New Day (still during their first heel run) had worn t-shirts of the heel women’s faction (I think this was during an awful acronym period, or something), but the ladies had the OLD New Day shirts, and the entire video concludes with Big E saying “Why y’all late?” Anybody got a link for this? I remember it being pretty good.
