    Sounds like some impersonator doing the "Alan" bit. Taker must have just sang up to the "dear ..." bit.

    Being pedantic, I know. But, it wasn’t to ‘Alan’ it was to ‘Helen’. Jerry Lawler set this up on air, to plug the Birthday call greeting gimmick and to see if Helen Hart was still alive.

  2. I watch very little WWE these days, but I've only heard Edge and Christian referred to as each others 'very good friend' (which makes them sound like a gay couple) have WWE acknowledged that their being brothers was a work? If so why?

  3. Here's something that's been bugging me for a while. I can't remember how Greg Valentine turned face in late 90/91. Going from PPVs he was teaming with Honky at Survivors 90, still doing the Elvis schtick, Honk left shortly after that and then at Rumble 91, Greg's back to his old look having a face altercation with former manager Jimmy Hart. Anyone remember how the turn came about, or was the Rumble bit his turn?

     

    Ah, thanks mister.

  5. I watched the 1978 remake of Nosferatu today, i've had it for a while, but kept putting off watching it because I love the original so much and was afraid this may somehow tarnish it. Pleased to say this wasn't the case, the first thing that's noticeable is the use of the names from Bram Stokers novel so Count Orlock is Dracula and Hutter is Jonathan Harker. Klaus Kinski does really, really well as Dracula, but I don't think another person alive could possible be as creepy as Max Schreck was in certain scenes. A REALLY good thing is Bruno Ganz (who was masterful as Hitler in 'Downfall') takes Harker/Hutters part and he's utterly mesmorising, as far away from the horrendous actor portraying that role in the original as possible. The ending is slightly different, but I enjoyed it. The direction and visual shots are breath-taking and there's a macabre dream sequence, which I had to rewind and watch again immediately. If you're a fan of the original, i'd highly recommend this.

  6. I've noticed the omission of Ventura from various WWE dvds over the last few years but he is heard on commentary throughout the Roddy Piper dvd.How did they manage that?

    If I remember it right, at some point WWE and Ventura struck a deal (presumably just before the release of the WrestleMania Anthology box-set) in order to get Ventura's voice on the discs. There had been a lot of conceren from fans around the time that all those early shows (1 through 6) would be Ventura-less and all except 2 would feature Gorilla Monsoon talking to himself.As best I can tell, the deal has allowed them to put select matches with Jesse's announcing on other DVD releases such as Piper's and Hogan's but I don't believe the deal covered his entire body of work so his WCW announcing is still MIA.
    They should definitely remove Ventura's commentary, and leave Monsoon in there rambling like a mad-man. Better yet, do it on commentary with Heenan, Monsoon bickering to himself. It'll be like the Garfield minus Garfield comic strips
  7. Save you watching the whole thing, here's a kid singing Britney Spears, watch from 1:10 onwards, his mother bursts in screaming and completely frightens the shit outta him, his reaction and collapse is utterly tremendous.

    :laugh:
    :laugh: I love the fact she's pissing herself laughing after probably scarring the kid for life.
    It was worth it! He'll never accomplish anything that great again. :laugh: Just heard right at the end a guy sounded like either Smashie or Nicie asks "What happened?"
