simonworden Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 My wife, who has recently become obsessed with the TV show friends 25 years late pointed out that Jennifer Anniston was now roughly the same age as my manager and another good female friend who is in her mid fifties. Those trouble free days getting random teenage hard-ons over 20 something years old Jen bouncing about on my TV seem further away than ever. Quote

Paid Members Statto Posted December 3, 2019 Paid Members Posted December 3, 2019 I love shit like this and can't believe I haven't noticed this thread before! Come April, there will have been as many WWE Wrestlemanias as there were WWF ones. Quote

At the end it felt like they'd been around forever. Set up with Michaels, HHH, Rude and Chyna in autumn 1997, final final dregs being X-Pac and Road Dogg in summer 2000, so by my reckoning, that's less than three years. Quote

Paid Members BomberPat Posted December 4, 2019 Paid Members Posted December 4, 2019 Just now, Grecian said: The Heenan Family? Started in the 80's, but I can't remember when it finished. Wiki has the WWF iteration as '84 - '93, but that's basically saying that everyone ever managed by Heenan would class as a member of the "Family", so it's not really a faction in the same sense. I wouldn't consider his run with Flair, or with the Narcissist, as being an extension of the Heenan Family at all, so maybe you could make the argument that they lasted from '84 - '90/'91, but it would still be a stretch to consider them a true faction.

For some reason it felt like from '96 to 2002, and then, of course, I remember they weren't around for the Invasion. A lot like the nWo - made a big impact, were memorable, but outstayed their welcome in a very short space of time. By the end of the X-Pac/Road Dogg tag team, I just wanted them to fuck off. Quote
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted December 4, 2019 Awards Moderator Posted December 4, 2019 Freebirds? I'm not very familiar with the middle years but Wiki says 1979 - 1994. Reading through the detail 1979 - 1987 seems a fairer judge of activity. Quote
Paid Members gmoney Posted December 4, 2019 Paid Members Posted December 4, 2019 Freebirds weren't in WWF/WWE for any length of time anyway. Quote
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted December 4, 2019 Awards Moderator Posted December 4, 2019 Ah I didn't twig the "in WWE" bit. Quote
Wrasslin Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Yeah otherwise you'd have the horsemen in there too probably. Quote
