Nah you didn't, it's cool. Admittedly I didn't know what level you were on, but I'll keep posting those random things as they come up.

I bet Simon Belmont would get excited seeing all of the candles in Aleister Black’s intro.

The 8 bit NES sprite of Simon Belmont has more personality and charisma than Black.

I can't decide whether Mike Chioda is carrying King Haku here or not.

WCW Saturday Night is coming in March

. 92 was awesome with The Dangerous Alliance angle. There were so many great tag and multiman matches. Vader/Sting, Rude/Steamboat, Cactus doing his thing, Windham, Rhodes, Austin, Steamboat, Gordy, Williams. So much goodness on SN in 1992

Just finished watching Raw 283 and 284

Amazingly entertaining shows most of the way through.

These were the ones where Shano starts to feature and rebels against his dad to recontract a fired SCSA

The Rock is ****ing over and the peoples elbow is ****ing hilariously megaover

Cracks me up how some of the ECW guys were mocking it around this time too

When Hogan lost to Warrior at WM VI, they went from the long-standing "WWF Champion Hulk Hogan" to calling him "The Immortal Hulk Hogan."

As a kid I spent a good while being convinced that they were calling him "The Mortal Hulk Hogan," because he had been beaten and proven to be a mere mortal. It was odd to me that they kept calling him that for more than the immediate aftermath of that match, but I still believed it was what they were doing. In fairness to my young self, my interpretation made more sense than suddenly coining "immortal" as soon as he took a clean pinfall loss.

True story: I thought Bobby was saying "ham a ni**ger". It wasn't until I was ~21 that I ever heard what the expression was supposed to be.

Also the Kevin Owens documentary was on for anyone who has not seen it, It's a watch for sure. Tey showed backstage at wrestlemania with him asking Vince if his match was good and Vince said no, Interesting stuff.

With the Network recently adding old Coliseum videos, I chose one at random, Supertape from 1990. After a Mr. Perfect vs. Ronnie Garvin match, we moved along to The Bushwhackers vs. The Bolsheviks. The very next match? The Bushwhackers vs. Bad News Brown & The Brooklyn Brawler.

As much of a Golden Era apologist as I am, WTF is this ****.

I'm not paying 100% attention to the MMC but spending some time getting caught up this afternoon. Goldust/Rose vs Uso/Naomi seems weird. Plenty of loud in-ring talking, why is there a guest referee, and why were the two options in the poll Angle or Bryan? Why would Angle even BE at SmackDown? And to fly Beth Phoenix in once a week for a 12 minute match? But they got rid of pyro? Maybe I'm over thinking things.

Rhonda Rousey and the Elimination Chamber of Secrets is tonite, right?

I'm an idiot and hate doing fun things, so I'll be watching.

I was just looking on the network for something to watch, and I see they added the old WWF TV show. The one they taped from the building in Allentown or wherever which was the predecessor of Superstars and Challenge. I will now be busy for a few gours

Is it true that the WWE's rights to wrestlers entrance music will be up soon, and the Network will no longer be allowed to have the music?

There have been some rumblings that due to Jim Johnston getting endeavored that he's going to take his music with him. Whether it has any merit or not is another matter.

I've been watching a lot of Austin's stuff from 1997, and I'm convinced there's never been someone as entertaining as he was. He obviously took it to another level in 98 when he became the face of the company, but 1997 pissed off at the world Austin was just the GOAT. His matches were awesome, and his promos were at a different level than everyone else:

I've always thought 97 for WWE and him in particular was more entertaining than 98. The injury was such a shame, but he was still awesome when he couldn't even wrestle.

I pimped this a few months ago. Easily one of the GOAT interviews but isn't ever talked about. Starts at 2:00:

I wouldn't argue with this. I know that a lot of people look down on his heel run as kind of ruining the business a bit but the entertainment as a comedy character was off the charts.

Obligatory:
