I don't really mind the shades of grey where almost everyone is willing to bend the rules sometimes; what's stupid is the babyface commentators backing up how awesome and justifiable a face's heelish actions are.

LOL ... how much of a dick Hogan was during his WWF run is one of my favorite points in wrestling discussions.

1. Mr. Wonderful turns on him because he stopped returning calls after becoming champ.

2. Andre turns on him because "No, Andre, we're friends!" somehow supercedes a guy never losing as why there will be no title shot.

3. Savage turns on him because Hogan is getting inappropriately close to Elizabeth and cares not if it upsets Savage.

4. Hogan is eliminated in clean fashion at the Rumble; commits heel act of eliminating Sid and helping Flair win out of spite.

5. Hogan steals Bret's title at Wrestlemania 9.

Wasn't the only time either. The year prior, 1991, he was eliminated in the rumble by the Twin Towers, cleanly. He then came back in to eliminate both of them.

Making my way through 1993-1994 PPVs. Just got to '94 KOTR--how have I never seen the Art Donovan trainwreck before?

That's crazy. You weren't aware of the Art Donovan thing at all? And then he goes on to outlive both of the other guys at the broadcast table.

Seen it mentioned at various times here but was never curious enough to youtube it. Was this his first and only appearance?

Yes. The funniest parts might be Savage's and Gorilla's reactions to him. Those poor guys were in such a tough spot.

Yes. Not just the big guys either, but also random people like Owen Hart.

Just called Double J a cutie. Quite unironically, I might add.

OK, probability that Art Donovan was never clued in on WWF being scripted before his commentary stint? It has to be at least non-zero.

Meh I think he probably still knew that. I mean, nobody doesn't know that.

Kramer: "I didn't know that it was possible to wake up out of a coma."
Jerry: "I didn't know it was possible to not know that."

Strange finish to Diesel/Bret Hart. Not often that a face holds onto the belt by getting DQ'd.

Fun fact: DDP drove the pink caddy for Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine at Wrestlemania VI.

If you don't remember how the show as a whole ends up, I'm guessing you'll agree that it's pretty smart booking by the end of the show.

Apparently Peggy Sue was Sensational Sherri in a costume too, which I never had any clue of as a kid.

So on the live stream they occasionally show old Raw and Smackdown episodes and call them Best of Raw and Best of Smackdown. Is there anyway to find these in the on demand section?
