What's far worse than the prices is that there are people who are paying them.

"and will miss the chance to see Scottish wrestling talent like Piper Niven, Alba Fyre, Nikki Cross and Drew McIntyre." Aye, all three of them DEFINITELY are getting on the PPV.

My earliest memory of such nonsense is the idea that Jake The Snake would team with Earthquake so soon after the fat bastard killed Damien.

Not to go back to Deadly Game to prove my point or anything... but the Austin/Vince dynamic was one of these. Vince tried and tried for months to get the WWF title off Steve Austin by beating him in the ring for it but it was clear Vince could have just stripped him of it if he fancied it, because he'd done it as recently as December 97 with the ICT, to The Rock's benefit. He decided eventually that Austin wasn't worth keeping around in the wake of Steve failing to ref properly in the Taker/Kane title match, and fired him. Shane "brought him back" which ended up an elaborate scheme to... I dunno, swerve Austin for fun? But if they were on the same side the whole time, they could have just left him fired rather than reintroduce the element of chaos to their lives for the sake of a laugh. It doesn't make sense. If Chewbacca makes sense, you must acquit.

"Even though Lita was "married to Kane" on TV, Amy Dumas came home every night to ME." Never fails to be shit.

Giant Wotsits, a thing of real joy, are still available in prawn cocktail and "Flamin' Hot" - that being the original Flamin Hot that started life as a Monster Munch exclusive, but the packs bear "sweet and spicy" presumably to distinguish them from this "Extra Flamin Hot" variant they've released in Doritos, Wotsits Crunchy and Max. As if the colour packet didnt give it away. .... not entirely sure why the ridge cut have come out under the normal Max brand instead of Max Strong. Regardless, seems like they've repurposed a load of surplus seasoning from the discontinued Hot Sauce Blaze.

The like is 75% for the sentiment and 25% for not using “cook.” …… the numbers don’t lie.

Not sure it's any weirder than people who hate wrestling coming to a wrestling forum to talk about virtually anything BUT wrestling.

You’d be surprised what people admit on a random forum.

Depending how much Raw from 95 you got to see, plenty. Everyone probably remembers when they cost Bob Holly a match with Hakushi which spawned a six man tag involving Kid and Bret that made it to Coliseum Video, but there isn’t as much love visible for the tag title match Kid and Sparky earned for the win ; Into early summer they had two great matches with Razor & Savio, a run that went on the road and also had several taped at TVs that oddly never made Coliseum (which was slowly dying as a “thing” at the time). The first went off the air without a finish (criminal) - this is the rematch ; Finally, a real forgotten gem from a Superstars I posted not long ago to the YouTube thread. Post losing the tag titles and pre Kid turning, here’s Owen & Yoko vs Kid & Razor ; https://m.facebook.com/WeLoveYouOwen/videos/owenyokozuna-vs-razor-ramon-and-the-1-2-3-kid/1989998084459926/ Right at that moment the tag team was quietly dissolving as focus shifted to Davey Boy as (briefly) the star of Camp Cornette, and right before Owen got his HBK storyline and then Vader turned up to boot Yoko out altogether.

Just because something starts becoming the norm, doesn’t mean we can’t protest to try and stop it. We’ve let thickos get away with “could of” for long enough, buggered if we should stand by and let selling quietly disappear.

The show. People raved about the storylines, then they loved the show. Oblivious to the fact that both turns rendered the storylines as nonsense in at least six different ways. Far more “good” storylines don’t make sense than people want to admit.

Survivor Series : Deadly Game is lauded as a masterpiece by many people who watched it at the time, and I’m definitely one that loved it. But pick apart the storylines that got us there… none of them make sense.

I'd say the match with the Nasty Boys is fairly good, we all just remember it as bad because the result upset us. It's easy to forget how spotty their record on PPV or TV (against other superstars, not jobbers) was in comparison to The Rockers who hardly EVER fucking won. For years, only Demolition then the LOD were babyface teams that won more than they lost against credible opposition.

It's a fascinating period for him and the Foundation - they only existed as a tag team on TVs, squashing job boys a few times a month and this bout with the Busters which is their only PPV tagging between Mania V and Mania VI. On the road Bret spent the whole of 1989 as a singles wrestler, tangling with Mr Perfect (obviously brilliant matches), Honky, Bravo and Rick Martel (a few of which landed on Coliseum) while Jim slummed it in far less watchable matches with Bad News Brown, The Genius and so on. One of the Genius matches also ended up on a SuperTape, though it was far from super.
