That's what I meant. Haha. 92/93 kinda mesh as the same year in my head. Was when transitional period was taking place

That's pretty cool of his wife. Maybe he doesn't even bone any of the women if he decided not to. "I will stand behind you and flex all weekend, no touching"
Kinda wish he stayed in the WWE, was a decent wrestler in the WCW

I'm actually very surprised that Vince released him so quick. He was definitly one of those WCW guys that would get over easily with the WWF crowd back than

The saddest part is he gave up like $100k to embarrass himself and pretty much end any hope of a WWE career.

Judy Bagwell? Oh god. Did that really happen? Even so that's not a good reason to release him. Guys like Randy Orton shit in divas purses, Batista was a legit douche starting fights with Booker T and having affairs with fellow divas in relationships.

You mean Series '92, not '93. Warrior didn't quit in 1992. Him and the British Bulldog were fired for failing drug tests. The government was breathing down Vince's neck and everyone had to get clean. No exceptions. That's why you see everyone getting smaller in 1992. Look at Warrior and Hogan at WM8 compared to WM7 for example. Warrior and Bulldog popped dirty and got canned. Bulldog was the Intercontinental Champion when he got fired. He was originally supposed to defend the title against The Mountie at Survivor Series '92, but had to drop it out of nowhere to Shawn Michaels and leave.
It was so weird that he decided to even mention at the simulcast. Why was Buff ever on his radar? If you mention Buff, might as well mention Scott Norton, Rick Steiner, Disco Inferno, etc..
I think he was expecting no response or booing so he could laugh and bury Buff like he did Jeff Jarrett.

Wow, makes total sense now. I always wondered why Warrior looked so tiny like DYEL status at mania 8. Also explains Bulldogs much slimmer form once he returned, Bulldog with the braids looked bloated and juiced to the grillz. I remember when Bulldog dropped the title to HBK too.
The Nasty Boys seem like they've been ripped straight from Final Fight and every beat em up from the late 80s and early 90s. Gimmick of the times indeed

For some reason I'm not able to pause, rewind, fast forward, or otherwise interact with the player on PC (using Chrome).
This is the first time running into this issue. Anyone else experience this?

Just tried it with Firefox and not having the issue. Weird. Chrome was working fine before.

WWE never mentioned that on the Warrior DVD. He was fired in 96 for no showing several dates.
Why was Perfect semi retired for a year? Did he just decide to return as a replacement 9 days before the event? Or was he going to return regardless?
He had a back injury in 1991 that kept him out of action for most of that year and that's why he was Flair's manager/doing color in 1992. I think he was the biggest star Vince had to cover for Warrior. He probably was going to return regardless, but maybe not when he did if it hadn't been for Warrior.
Being a Buff Bagwell mark is the most embarrassing part of my childhood.
It could be worse. I was an American Males fan as a teenager....
Watched Angle/Benoit vs. Edge/Mysterio from No Mercy '02 earlier today. What a fantastic match. I really hope they post some Smackdown episodes from 2002 so I can relive that whole Smackdown Six era. Angle, Benoit, Edge, Mysterio, Eddie and Chavo feuding in the midcard with Brock and Undertaker in the main events. What a great time that was.
Anyone care to recommend some Kurt Angle matches to watch?

Why was the WCW undercard so damn good 96-98.
The guys didn't have that much personality (besides Jericho) but damn. Mysterio, Malenko,Benoit,Guerrero,Juvi,Psychosis,Ultimo Dragon, Jericho, Konnan, not to mention all the other luchadors like la parka, silver king, super calo and more.
Maybe it was just because I was super impressionable and only 10 in 96 but jeez it was so damn good. I can't sit through the majority of Raw nowadays yet I still find myself able to watch these WCW ppvs from that time period.

Konnan? KONNAN? ARE YOU FUCKING FOR REAL? KOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Konnan was a cunt and a half and basically used the luchadores 100% to make himself look better. He was completely reckless and dangerous with those guys because they felt they owed him for getting a spot in WCW.

Stro just hates Konnan because he was popular/ the biggest draw of the 90's according to Meltzer.

Nah, I completely abandoned WCW after the Fingerpoke of Doom incident. Nash was my favorite guy in the company and seeing him hand the belt back to Hogan pissed me off. Combined with Sting being out at the time, it was an easy jumping off point.

Watching the June 3, 1991 WWF @ MSG show. Who was drunk and put the red and blue ropes on the wrong way? lol

These skips are really annoying.
Yeah this is like unwatchable for me. Live stream works fine, but trying to watch a specific match on a PPV it will skips 5 seconds every couple of minutes. Really frustrating.

Man watching the Stone Cold documentary, I really agree with him when he says the Bischoff/Stone Cold Co-GM angle should have gone on longer. That shit was hilarious. I honestly think Austin did his best work with the humor shoots.
As long as it's archived after it airs (it does do that, right?), I should be okay if it skips.

It was really brave to put that on free TV too because Lesnar starts the first 10 minutes just hanging out on the outside of the ring wasting time so Angle eventually slips up. Then Lesnar hits him with the chair to get DQed just to get the endurance advantage for the rest of the match. Great psychology, but it wasn't suited for TV and commercials. I wonder how many people tuned out from the beginning and didn't get all the drama later.
