I knew that Tony Schiavone overusing superlatives had become a running joke over the years, and I was vaguely aware that he used "greatest night in the history of our sport" too many times, but until I started rewatching I really had no idea how over-the-top it was. It's almost every ****ing show. "Greatest night in the history of our sport." "Biggest main event in Nitro history." But just now I had a full-on Gob Bluth "OH COME ON!" moment where I actually blurted that out loud at my TV.
A feud has kicked up with Curt Hennig, Brian Adams, and Rick Rude (albeit not in an active wrestling capacity) having heat with Bret Hart, British Bulldog, and Jim Neidhart. It's not a bad little feud, but there's been nothing memorable in it yet, and it has no particular heat. During an Adams/Hennig vs. Bulldog/Neidhart match, Rude sits in on commentary. Incidentally, hilarious stuff with Heenan openly schmoozing with Rude while Tony gets increasingly furious, a bit that's been going on for a few episodes.
Tony addresses Rude and says, "I don't think you guys realize what you've accomplished here, with upsetting Bret Hart...probably as much as we've ever seen him in this sport!" Jesus, Tony. The Montreal Screwjob isn't six months old yet, and THIS random midcard feud is the most upset Bret Hart has ever gotten in wrestling.
