On top of the ho-hum eliminations, it felt very rushed, happening in the span of about 90-seconds. They should've gone the '91 (and even '93) route and turn the final few men into a mini-match sequence, just to build up to the finale, especially with the WWF Title on the line. I did like how Sid, foreshadowing his heel turn, goes right after Savage, who looks like he's on the verge of passing out. |

Speaking of Rumble matches... something I never really noticed until sitting on the toilet, but in 1993, Savage comes in at #30 and immediately goes after the REPO MAN of all people. "Smart" viewers might recall the happenings on Raw the week before where Repo Man stole his hat, but Gorilla and Heenan don't pick up on the continuity, even as Savage dumps Repo on his arse. I guess it was more important to keep hyping "how will anyone throw out Yokozuna?" Answer: No one, or Shawn Michaels with Super-Powers (see '96). |

Watching an episode of WCW Main Event, televised January 20th, 1991. The big match on the show is an 8-Man Tag between Sting, Flyin' Brian, the Steiners against Flair, Windham, Arn, and Sid. That just seems outrageous to give away on free tv (Well, TBS) when the WrestleWar PPV is only three weeks away, and featuring the same combination! This match obviously has a BS finish, but it goes 15-20 minutes, so it's not like a 2 minute schmoz. |

I think Main Event was house show footage until they moved all the shows to Orlando. |

I know I've been critical of Mick Foley but he's coming to Columbus in July and I bought tickets to the show. Looking forward to it. |

Watching Ultimate Warrior vs. Frenchie Martin from the 11/87 MSG Card... don't ask. Martin lands awkward on his arm, stalls for a bit, then you can clearly hear him go "I broke my arm", and Warrior responds louder "HUH?!". One clothesline (and an off-balanced bump to land directly on the good arm) later, and done. |

Oh my God, that's hilarious. I must've had that story stuck in the back of my mind and when I stumbled across the match on YouTube, it popped to the front. It's still pretty funny to watch... not the injury, but Warrior's puzzled reaction. I feel like a jerk. |

I love it anytime you can catch wrestlers calling audibles in the ring. Or just blatantly calling spots. Triple H to Val Venis in the '99 Rumble match, so loud that Vince McMahon, on commentary at the time, has to cover for it - "If I throw you, can you hang on?" Or, Cena to Orton in their TLC match to unify the titles - *Cena picks Orton up, blatantly yells "do something", hits the ropes and eats a crappy Orton dropkick*. And that's just off the top of my head. Hell, if you're as amused by spot calling as me, go back and watch any old Ted Dibiase match. The dude called everything in the ring. Also, Rick Rude, of all people, was pretty bad about blatant spot calling. |

Sid and Rick Steiner try and outmatch each other for a good 2-3 minutes at the end of Wrestlewar '91. |

Ah yeah, Sid and Steiner (especially Rick Steiner) were both really bad at blatant spot calling. In modern wrestling, John Cena's the new Sid/Rick Steiner. He was blatantly calling spots with The Rock at Wrestlemania. Anybody else remember, "Drop down- shoulderblock!"? Also, don't forget about Rico at Survivor Series 2002. "Jeff! Jeff, where are you!? Goddamn it, Jeff!" Classic. Also, Beth Phoenix in a four-way women's match, with two of the women in a chicken wing hold and she's waiting for the fourth woman to clip her knee; "Kelly, get your ass over here!" |

Still can't believe TNA wouldn't pay Styles to hang around. While watching WM 13, I realized that Brian Adams, as Crush, has worked four different Mania's under four different versions of his name: 7: Crush of Demolition 9: Kona Crush 10. Evil Crush! 13: Nation Crush Unfortunately we never got to see DOA Crush compete. :P |

I remember a big tease on AOL, involving Crush, in the early days of WWF's online presence. They had a "newsflash" that FOUR former champions were all returning to the WWF in the summer of 1996. It was when they were still bellyaching over losing Diesel and Razor, so they were trying to stir that up. I think it turned out to be Crush, Barry Windham and Mr. Perfect. No idea who the fourth was-- maybe Jim Neidhart as "Who"? Funny note about Crush, but he may be the only guy to not win the tag titles, then lose them. He joined Demolition in May 1990 after they had won the titles. Then, he was pinned by Bret Hart at SummerSlam 1990 to lose the titles. Were there some screwy situations in the late 90's where a similar case happened? A subtsitute tag champion was pinned to lose the titles? |

William Regal went down to a weird virus and was replaced by Sean Morley in the middle of a Tag reign with Lance Storm, Early 2003. Don't know if Morley took the fall in the match that they lost the belts. |
