He had no idea at all what was going on or what the WWF was about. Hadn't been prepped at all and sounded like a child asking questions. Apparently, they got him on because his act was he was a bit of a clueless plum. Art Donovan in fairness to him was just doing the act Vince found funny, but obviously everyone else in the world saw him as a massive clown ruining the commentary. I suppose it'd be if Chris Kamara was doing SummerSlam this year and everyone not in on the joke wouldnt know what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Rob Lowe Posted April 26, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2017 I watched parts of King of the Ring 94 for the first time a few weeks ago when some on here were complimenting kid vs Owen and I was not prepared for Art. *IRS walks out* "Is he one of the wrestlers?" "He looks like a businessman!". Like watching with an elderly relative. On and on and on. Brutally embarrassing. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 There is one part of the show when Art is spouting some nonsense and Macho Man just cuts him off saying "sorry Art I can't here you right now this crowd is electric!" or something along them lines. He spent the whole show asking "how big is this guy" aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted April 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) 'Ow much does 'dis fella weight' is one of the great forgotten catchphrases of wrestling lore. My favourite bit of Art alzheimers is when Gorilla spends a good thirty seconds talking about how Lex Luger is the all American with the stars and stripes etc. And Art pipes up 'ey Gorilla, who is 'dis guy waving da flag????' Or something to that effect. Edited April 27, 2017 by Gus Mears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was enjoying reading those very much but not seen an update in a while That was me and I absolutely forgot about it. I got to Royal Rumble 92 and in trying to work out how to review that without doing a dissertation on it I ended up forgetting to do anything. Might revisit it in the near future.

Just starting an episode of Raw where he's doing an Elvis impersonation, and at that pont I can only assume that he's there to keep Vince amused and after a while he got bored and sacked him off. Vince is suck a weirdo. EDIT And just when I thought that it couldn't get any worse there's his Vince McMahon "impersonation" and I'm convinced that Monsoon wanted to spark him out for real during that episode. He pretty much just shouts like an idiot for most of the episode. Only part remotely Vince like is whenever he shouts Raw. The guy was a total liability. At least Art Donovan was just a one off.

Porkchopcash Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Shame Windham didnt stick around in 1990 as the The Widow Maker. He would have been a great opponent for The Hulkster, in his early promos he would mention him. His gimmick was the man who controlled everything....

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2017 If Flair got there a bit earlier, you could have had Windham, Arn, Tully, JJ Dillon and Flair in the same company. Actually as good as JJ was in the role, Tully, Arn, Windham, Flair with Bobby Heenan would have been an incredible squad in the early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchopcash Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Watching an old Primetime which has the Macho King coronation on. Him and Sherri are walking to the ring? They were carried when i watched it 27 yrs ago. Im sure i even had a picture cut out of WWF magazine on a school book of them being carried. Im right. Must have been 2 filmings of it.  Just watched it...walked in. Carried oot! Edited April 28, 2017 by Porkchopcash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ was always a bit meh to me, but its probably as ive only seen him after his time and was used to Heenan, Skick, Fuji and Hart. Even at the time i used to think Cornette and Paul E were shite managers with shite gimmicks. Looking back now as an adult i think they were perfect for the southern audience.
