I know this’ll have been posted a million times before but it popped in my head this morning for some reason, specifically the bit where Heenan says sorry I didn’t speak to you on the phone and Flair says they hadn’t rang, not the most subtle moment ever but it was for WWF 1992, everyone involved is great, even Hillbilly Jim

Bobby Heenan was at his performance peak in 1992 it could be argued. Given the little time they had to pull off this angle, Brain hits an astounding home-run.

I love his desperate plea of 'I'll buy you a boat!' Just rambling and desperate, trying to pull any rabbit out his hat to stop it all going to shit.

The one minor drawback is I'd have loved for Gorilla to be one of the other panellists.

I have this on video somewhere alongside the "Bath House Death Match" involving The Headhunters and Tarzan Goto fighting in a Japanese bath house where people are getting washed.

Anyway, this is basically the Japanese Kendo Nagasaki and a bunch of his trainees destroying an entire village while a band plays and cheerleaders dance. It's random. It's bonkers. Enjoy.

The Wrestle Me! review of it is worth a watch too

Still watch this from time to time, when I need a chuckle. .

Probably my favourite video of theirs.

Technically yes, but they were filmed one after the other and combined into one event. 

[SaitoRyo]

Rey Mysterio (with unused alternative theme) having two kickass dark matches against Funaki prior to his televised debut in the summer of '02. Great showcases for Rey and you can see the fans are into him right away.

An episode of Radio WWF has been uploaded to YouTube.

Very little of Radio WWF has ever been uploaded to the internet to the best of my knowledge. The only other piece I’ve ever found of it was about 40 minutes of Jim Ross & Gorilla Monsoon’s commentary on part of Royal Rumble 94

One of a couple of bangers where our Earthquake teamed up with Vader in UWFi.

Shame that WWE treated him like absolute shit, because Kanyon doing the DDP parody in death throes WCW and doing the RKO outtanowhere deal before it was a thing is hilarious. What a massive loss he was.

This would get over huge today.

Kanyon would be the same age as Jericho if he was still with us. He was an early mentor of the Young Bucks and Brian Cage, so it's sad to imagine there was a world that he could have been involved in AEW, where he would have been rightly recognised as an innovator and trendsetter. Even aside from wrestling in general becoming more accepting of queer wrestlers, where if he could have found peace you can also picture a world where he was celebrated by shows like Effy's Big Gay Brunch, he died really just before indie wrestling started taking a turn more towards irony and self-referential stuff - he could have had a whole extra career by bringing back the Mortis gimmick in that environment. Just so many tragic What Ifs.

[The Dart]

This is some weird stuff.

Sean Mooney & Gorilla Monsoon (but using his real name) presenting a daytime talk show about bingo with a guest psychic.  Just to add to it - a guest appearance from Bobby Heenan (who was in WCW at the time).
