Paid Members Gus Mears Posted December 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) I particularly liked it when he gave wrestler's shit for their technique during matches. Gorilla being renowned for his airtight technical prowess.  In the aforementioned Colossal Jostle show, he's burying Scott McGee's forearms throughout the match for no apparent reason, 'they just don't have any snap on them like Les Thornton's do'. Next up he's complaining about SD Jones' inability to perform better move combinations than repeated headbutt's. This is before we get to 100 instances of him telling people to hook the leg when going for a pin (probably). Edited December 17, 2018 by Gus Mears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always had it in mind that he was a bit too overbearing a commentator, but he's really good at getting the drama of the matches across, especially the Lawler/Piper match. I quite liked Savage on colour commentary as well during that time. Especially enjoyed the 3 man team at the 1993 KOTR with Savage, Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan. That’s a combination that sounds like it wouldn’t work but I really liked it. Might be just me though as I don’t think they used that team again. Oh and while we’re discussing Art Donovan;  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but that was somewhat counterbalanced for me by the arena being called The Nutter Centre, which was hilarious to 8 year old me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) OSW Review reviewed KOTR 93 earlier this week. Apparently Dayton was considered a “B City” at the time, and they didn’t want their new PPV to look lowrent so they referred to Dayton itself as little as possible, kind of like when they held Crown Jewel there last month Edited December 17, 2018 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollthedice Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I had the same mask, purchased at a Thunder taping in Manchester in 2000. I never wore it, it sat on a polystyrene head on top of my wardrobe for 15 years until I binned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I woke up with one of them on top of my wardrobe, I’d be thinking the ghost of Jacko was about to jump on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted December 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) My Gorilla Monsoon adventure continues to get worse, in what might be the most inaccurate statement in wrestling commentary history. "What a treat this is for all the fans here in Madison Square Gardens" says Gorilla, as Uncle Elmer walks out for his match against Big John Studd.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2018 Gorilla Monsoon's head was so big, that he once printed a tribute to Superstar Graham in a paper thinking he'd died and then refused to retract his statement. Because Gorilla can never be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
