Hello everyone! This week wasn’t too eventful. We are getting our old waitress back, the one who lived with my wife and I for a couple months. She is entertaining and usually provides some good stories. Maybe I will be able to provide some in the coming reviews.
My customers and I had a rather large discussion on Trepanning and if it were an actual medical surgery would we get it done. That was very interesting to hear peoples opinions.
Let’s get out of 2016 and get back to 1984!
Tuesday Night Titans
We get the usual opening video package narrated by Alfred Hayes.
Vince welcomes us to TNT and calls Alfred Hayes “007 and 3/4’s” and Hayes finds that so hilarious. Peep Hayes’ puffy blue suit that would make Jeff Daniels from Dumb and Dumber jealous.
Jimmy Snuka Interview
Jimmy whispers while he talks so it is kind of hard to understand him. Vince says that Snuka has such daring skills. “Only the Superfly would jump off the top rope.” Vince asks why he performs the moves because it looks like it hurts Snuka more than his opponent.
Vince is asking questions like “describe how you can be ferocious in the ring” Snuka will stare off into the distance and say “only one thing bruddah, the truth.” You can tell that Vince is a tad upset at Snuka’s answers.
Vince says “what we would like to do, is something that might break your confidence.” Vince says if your stomach is queezy please advert your attention.
Jimmy Snuka on Pipers Pit
This is one of the most memorable Piper Pit’s of al time. Piper told Snuka to say whatever he wants and take the mic into his greasy little palms.
Piper got Snuka a pineapple to remind him of the women back in Fiji. “Long frosty hair on top big bottoms” Piper offers him a banana also. He won’t let Snuka talk but keeps telling him to talk. Piper is now showing him all the coconuts. “One thing I didn’t do is bring out a tree so you can be like a monkey and climb it” Roddy Piper is the most ruthless!
Piper rocks Snuka in the face and smashes the coconut into pieces! Piper dismantles his set and rubs a banana al over Snuka’s face. Superfly is falling all over the place. Piper starts whipping the “boy” and telling him to get up. Snuka crawls towards Roddy who is whipping Snuka over and over with his belt. Snuka gets to his feet!
Piper snot rockets at Snuka, who finally gets up and starts screaming, Piper goes and hides behind a door. Some wrestlers try to calm down the savageness that is Jimmy Snuka.
We come back into the studio and McMahon asks what is going on Snuka’s mind. Snuka tells Piper “try to put this for one second in your mind, what would happen if that was you? How would you take that just one little feeling that just felt in your mind at the second that moment coconut pounded into your brains” Snuka’s delivery is slow and scray. Snuka legit scares the hell out of me, especially his rambling.
And I’m Like… That put Snuka over as soft spoken but savagely crazy. He was shown up by Piper but then started screaming a bunch. I wasn’t a fan of how he didn’t answer McMahons questions, but he difinitely intriguing.
Lou Thesz Interview
Lou Thesz- Born in Banat , Michigan in 1916, Thesz’s family moved to St. Louis when he was a young boy. His working-class immigrant parents hailed from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire . Beginning in Thesz’s early youth, his father personally gave him a tough and thorough education in Greco-Roman wrestling , which provided the fundamentals for his later success. While in high school he was a successful freestyle wrestling competitor on his school team; as he recalled many years later, he and a friend once “worked” a dramatic match against each other at a tournament, and were amused when nobody could see how much they were faking. As a teenager, he also trained in amateur wrestling with legendary wrestler Ad Santel . Thesz made his professional wrestling debut in 1932, at the age of 16. He soon met Ed “Strangler” Lewis , the biggest wrestling star of the 1920s, who taught a young Lou the art of “ hooking ” (the ability to stretch your opponent with painful holds). The two formed a lasting friendship. By 1937, Thesz had become one of the biggest stars in the St. Louis territory, and on December 29 he defeated Everett Marshall for the National Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Title , the first of many World Heavyweight Championships. Thesz became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history, at the age of 21. The purpose being to create one World Champion for all the various wrestling territories throughout North America . Orville Brown , the reigning Midwest World Heavyweight Title holder, was named the first champion. Thesz, at the time, was head of a promotional combine that included fellow wrestling champions Longson, Bobby Managoff , Canadian promoter Frank Tunney and Eddie Quinn , who promoted in the St. Louis territory where NWA promoter Sam Muchnick was running opposition. Quinn and Muchnick ended their promotional war, and Thesz’ promotion was absorbed into the NWA. Part of the deal was a title unification match between Brown and Thesz, who held the National Wrestling Association’s World Title. Unfortunately, just weeks before the scheduled bout, Brown was involved in an automobile accident that ended his career. He was forced to vacate the championship and the NWA awarded the title to the #1 contender, Thesz. Thesz was chosen for his skill as a “hooker” to prevent double crosses by would-be shooters who would deviate from the planned finish for personal glory. Between 1949 and 1956, Thesz set out to unify all the existing World Titles into the NWA World Heavyweight Championship . In 1952 he defeated Baron Michele Leone in Los Angeles for the California World Heavyweight title and became the first undisputed World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion since the days of Frank Gotch and Georg Hackenschmidt . Thesz finally dropped the Title to Whipper Billy Watson in 1956, and took several months off to recuperate from an ankle injury. 1957 was an important year for Thesz; on June 14, the first taint to Thesz’ claim of undisputed Champion occurred in a match with gymnast-turned-wrestling star, Edouard Carpentier . The match was tied at two falls apiece when Thesz claimed a back injury and forfeit the last fall. Carpentier was declared the winner, but the NWA chose not to recognize the title change, deciding a championship could not change hands due to injury. Despite the NWA’s decision, there were some promotions who continued to recognize Carpentier’s claim to the World Heavyweight title. That same year, Thesz became the first wrestler to defend the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in Japan , wrestling Rikidōzan in a series of 60 minute draws. Their bouts popularized pro wrestling in Japan, gaining the sport mainstream acceptance. Realizing he could make more money in the land of the rising sun, Thesz petitioned to the NWA promoters to regularly defend the belt in Japan. His request was turned down, and Thesz asked to drop the title to his own hand picked champion, Dick Hutton , rather than Thesz’s real-life rival and the more popular choice, Buddy Rogers . Thesz would embark on a tour of Europe and Japan, billing himself as the NWA International Champion; this title is still recognized as a part of All Japan Pro Wrestling ‘s Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship . In 1963, Thesz came out of semi-retirement to win his sixth World Heavyweight Championship from Buddy Rogers at the age of 46. Legend has it that Rogers was having second thoughts about dropping the title, and Thesz responded by saying, “we could do this the easy way or the hard way “. He would hold the title until 1966 when, at the age of 49, he was dethroned by Gene Kiniski . Thesz wrestled on a part-time basis over the next 13 years, winning his last major Title in 1978, in Mexico , becoming the inaugural Universal Wrestling Alliance Heavyweight Champion at the age of 62, before dropping the championship to El Canek a year later. Thesz officially retired in 1979, after a match with Luke Graham .
When Vince interview’s wrestlers, you can tell when he is infatuated by a certain star. It’s usually the old school types. He tries to not steer the conversation at all. It is very interesting. WE GET AN OLD LOU THESZ MATCH!! Vince is taking us to Japan in 1957, with Japanese commentary.
This match is collar and elbow and punches. Lou ends up winning with a bridged belly-to-back suplex
McMahon brings us back and asks Lou about all the awards he has received. He won this one pictured a few years ago by beating a guy in Mexico.
This is a tag team award presented to Lou and Karl Gotch.
Lou shows off some more awards, like best referee in Japan. It is so surprising to me that McMahon is so open about other promotions and how important they are.
Alfred Hayes points out how Lou won a dog show. He trained some dogs and won many awards for his dog training. Lou also brings up that he was a military man.
McMahon is so interested in this interview. He tells Lou that his life is interesting and varied. Vince then asks Lou if he will watch this video featuring Paul Orndorff.
And I’m Like… Very interested in how McMahon chose to go about things. He would bring legends in, talk about their accomplishments. and ask their opinion on new wrestlers. The legends were a bit more candid and didn’t share too much wrestling insight, but were more than happy to discuss hobbies.
Paul Orndorff at a beauty salon
Mr. Wonderful says he gets wonderful treatments. He says these ladies help make Orndorff who he is. Some cheesy music starts and Orndorff keeps putting over how well he looks and the reasons behind it. He kind of speaks slowly and quietly and the music overrides it.
Paul rips on his manicurist because she was too rough and had too much of a shine on Mr. Wonderful. Paul gets mad because there is no one to shine his sneakers.
Watching Paul Orndorff get a manicure is the MOST BORING. I get how it makes us hate him, but this is far from entertaining. He is a chauvinist.
Orndorff says he does not deserve this horrible work on his hair and shoes. He says this salon is bush league.
And I’m Like… Waiting for someone to kick this dudes ass. He has no likeable qualities, which as a wrestling fan means he is really good at his damn job.
Vince asks Thesz his opinion of Orndorff. Lou says he is a fine athlete that has had too much too soon. Thesz thinks that develops a complex. He says Orndorff has all the skills but doesn’t know how to properly live life.
Dick Murdoch and Adrian Adonis vs. S.D. Jones and Mil Mascaras
Dick Murdoch- A second-generation wrestler, the son of 1950s Texas wrestler Frankie Hill Murdoch, Dick Murdoch grew up with fellow second-generation wrestlers Dory Funk, Jr. and Terry Funk . Watching their fathers fight all around Texas. Dick Murdoch started wrestling in 1965 as Ron Carson in a tag team with Don Carson. He soon started wrestling under his real name. In 1968, he formed a tag team that would continue throughout the early 1970s with Dusty Rhodes called “The Texas Outlaws”. After splitting with Rhodes, he wrestled for Florida Championship Wrestling , the National Wrestling Alliance , and Mid-South Wrestling. His most noted work as a wrestler came in Mid-South Wrestling in the early 1980s, where he teamed with Junkyard Dog . The pair was the most popular champions in the region, attracting the hardcore, working class white fans with his “Captain Redneck” persona and JYD drawing the support of the black fan base. Their feud with the Fabulous Freebirds was perhaps Mid-South’s most compelling storyline. In 1984, he went to the World Wrestling Federation and formed a tag team with Adrian Adonis .
Adrian Adonis- In the late 1970s, Adonis joined the Minneapolis -based American Wrestling Association . In 1979, he formed a tag team with Jesse Ventura . The team was called The East-West Connection because Adonis was from New York (in the East ), while Ventura was from California (in the West ). The East-West Connection was awarded the AWA World Tag Team Championship on July 20, 1980, when Verne Gagne (one half of the tag champions with Mad Dog Vachon ) was unable to defend it because he was vacationing in Europe. They held the belts until June 14, 1981, when they were defeated by Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell . Adonis and Ventura debuted in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1980, working both as a team and in singles matches. Adonis was a frequent challenger of WWF Champion Bob Backlund and Intercontinental Champion Pedro Morales throughout the first half of 1982. When injuries caused Ventura to stop wrestling regularly, [3] Adonis formed a tag team with the Texan Dick Murdoch , called the North-South Connection. The team debuted in late 1983. Around this time, Adonis (who had previously been a muscular, stocky, and well-conditioned wrestler) gained a considerable amount of weight. On April 17, 1984, The North-South Connection defeated Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson to win the WWF World Tag Team Championship .
S.D. Jones- Before becoming a wrestler, he worked at a telephone company. While there, he began training under Johnny Rodz in the sport of professional wrestling. Upon completion of his training, he quit his job and began working for NWA Mid-Atlantic under the name “Roosevelt Jones” in a tag team with his partner and kayfabe cousin Rufus R. Jones . While there, they had a memorable feud with the Anderson family ( Ole and Gene ). On January 17, 1975, after leaving the Mid-Atlantic area for California , Jones won his first of three tag team titles, combining with Porkchop Cash to take the NWA Americas Tag Team Championship from the Hollywood Blonds ( Buddy Roberts and Jerry Brown). The following month, Jones and Cash dropped the titles back to the Blonds. Jones won the title again in 1977, teaming with Tom Jones to defeat Black Gordman and Goliath. Gordman and Goliath regained the championship, but Jones and Jones won the belts back from them on November 18, 1977. Jones also continued to wrestle in the WWF as a mid-card babyface who would give the heels a hard time but end up losing. He did, however, win quite a few matches on smaller cards against lower card or fellow mid carders like Ron Shaw and Johnny Rodz . Jones was often featured in tag team matches partnered with Tony Atlas , and the two challenged Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito for the WWF Tag Team Championship several times in 1981. On one occasion, the two ended up as the final men in a battle royal and flipped a coin to decide the winner, as seen on the WWF Coliseum Video ‘Best of the WWF Volume 4’ and ‘Grand Slams’ video cassettes.
Mil Mascaras- Mil Máscaras made his professional wrestling debut in April 1965 in Guadalajara . Máscaras became popular in Mexico for being one of the best conditioned luchadores in the heavyweight division, which was dominated by foreigners at the time. It was also his size which permitted him to wrestle in the US and Japan under the heavyweight division. Máscaras was one of the first masked luchadores outside of Mexico to play a non- heel role. He rarely resorted to rule breaking, instead relying on his repertoire of moves and counter-moves. Máscaras was also one of the first wrestlers to introduce the high-flying moves of lucha libre, such as the plancha and tope suicida , to Japanese fans. This brought him international fame as one of the first high-flyers, something he was not considered in Mexico where he fell under the mat-power category. Máscaras made his international wrestling debut in 1968 at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles , getting involved in great rivalries against the likes of Ernie Ladd , John Tolos , Black Gordman and Goliath . In Mexico City , he unmasked El Halcon in a triangular tournament that included Alfonso Dantés in the 1970s. Owing to the limited spread of news at the time, he repeated the feat in a Japanese ring, winning by submission. Máscaras held the WWA World Heavyweight Championship, and continues to hold it today. Mad Dog Graham challenged him for the title in 1985, but Máscaras beat him and ran him out of the country. Máscaras performed for All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) during the ’70s. In his Japanese debut on February 19, 1971, he defeated Kantaro Hoshino in Tokyo . It was during this time that he had his best known international feud with American masked wrestler The Destroyer . During the ’70s, Máscaras also had feuds with Mexican wrestlers such as TNT, Canek , El Halcon, and Angel Blanco . These feuds took place mostly in Mexico and the US, and were broadcast on Spanish language stations in the U.S. Máscaras was also the heavyweight champion of the IWA wrestling promotion, which was founded by Eddie Einhorn , and still holds the title to this day. In 1974, Máscaras was World Champion for a short-lived but very exciting promotion, the International Wrestling Association , which promoted in the New York City area. He had major title defenses at Roosevelt Stadium, in Jersey City, NJ, against top competitors such as Ivan Koloff and Ernie Ladd. Mil Máscaras appeared in World Wrestling Federation . He performed at Madison Square Garden several times after a ban on masked wrestlers was lifted for him, making him the first masked wrestler in the Garden, he defeated The Spoiler (who was not permitted to wear his mask). During this time, he feuded with Superstar Billy Graham over the WWF World Heavyweight Championship .
Mil was kicking ass until Murdoch intervened. He is not giving Mil any movement at all. Murdoch cheats a bit but is able to keep Mascaras down until he tags into Adrian.
Mascaras gets creative, after sneaking under Murdoch’s legs, he was able to get a tag in. S.D. Jones kicks a good amount of ass until Adonis is able to get Jones in a HUGE powerslam.
I think Jones might have some Samoan in him because every headbutt he does knocks the hell out of Adonis and Murdoch.
Adonis got thrown over the top and got all caught up. Mascaras is a great talent that engages the crowd very well. Once Mil got the tag he went crazy and got Adonis all tangled in the ropes.
Murdoch jumps off the top rope to try and finish the match. Adonis is able to get the pin in the middle of all that chaos.
And I’m Like… That match was fun and there was some real good talent. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of all these guys. It was too short of a clip to really get anything worthwhile out of.
Alfred points out that whenever Mil and Jones lost advantage of the match it’s because of teamwork and not because of the individuals effort.
MAILBAG!!!
The first question is from a guy in Colorado who asks Vince if there is an arena in Boston. He is moving to Boston soon and wants to see wrestling live. Vince says The famed Boston Garden.
Alfred then said that we recently lost Vincent J. McMahon (Vince’s dad). Vincent J. was known as one of the pioneers of Madison Square Garden, and was inducted into the arenas Hall of Fame. Here is a piece of film showing Vincent K. accepting the award on his late fathers behalf.
They say that the McMahon’s helped put on the first boxing match in the original Madison Square Garden. The guy who is giving the speech is really putting over how important wrestling and the McMahon’s are to Madison Square Garden.
Vince said that his father passed away a few weeks ago. Vince is holding it together pretty well but you can tell how difficult it is for him. Vince says his dad would joke that “he was the last white baby born in Harlem.” Vince talked to his dad about trying to get wrestling in other arena’s but Vincent J. would say “the gahden is always the gahden”
Vince is commemorating the next sold out show to his dad.
And I’m Like… Geez we hear the 10 bell salute. I honestly think Vince K. is one of my idols. I didn’t realize it til recently but damn, what a man. He has strength, forgiveness, creativity, passion, drive. He created the most dominate version of the thing I love, and has been a rock in this industry. Seeing how it was handled when Vincent J. died, I am wondering if ANYONE can fill the shoes of Vincent K.
Magnificent Muraco Interview
Vince asks how Murraco is so laid back. He says its psychological warfare and if you win the match mentally it’s much easier to win physically. Muraco says he loves to humiliate people who are less than him. He says you can have Lou Thesz brag all he wants about the old days, but Muraco is 1984. He adds a dimension of excitement to professional wrestling that not many people add. Vince brings us to a match with Muraco.
Magnificent Muraco w/ Mr. Fuji vs. Tony Garea
The match starts with the camera looking at Mr. Fuji. We see some standing wrist lock moves by Muraco and Garea. Muraco pulls Garea’s hair and the referee didn’t see it. Garea did not care and attacked Muraco’s hair by shaking him all around the ring. The referee admonished warnings and the match continues.
It looks like Garea is carrying this match. He is directing traffic and sets up the moves before they happen. Tony will lay on his back and put his feet in the air and then Muraco will hit the ropes for a monkey flip. Garea runs off the ropes right into a Bayley to Belly.
And I’m Like… That was just shown so we can see that Muraco is dominate in his wrestling matches.
We come back to the studio and McMahon asks Muraco how he can keep his cool in the middle of 20,000 people.
Muraco says “kids are in the street stealing hubcaps and stuff. I do what I do and did what I did to perform, be able to do that and deliver. Like in the ocean, you can be by yourself in the deep blue. When your there, you are alone and want to cry. There is no one to help but yourself, just like sitting in the ring when everyone boo’s me and spits on me. It’s a chance to survive. I enjoy the chance to survive, it keeps me fresh and in tune with everyone else.”
And I’m Like… Muraco takes his surfer character and turns it into why he is cool being boo’d. I am honest when I say this is a fantastic interview. Absolutely amazing, he encapsulates everything he has to and adds gravity to just existing.
Ivan Putski Interview
McMahon says Ivan is criticized for taking too much damage in the ring. Vince says it is a pleasure to have him on the show.
Putski has a strong accent. He says he is a professional and has to conduct himself as such, he needs to be in the gym everyday “I take care of that body because I love wrestling.” Vince says he has one of the longest careers in wrestling.
Ron Shaw vs. Ivan Putski
It’s funny watching this, knowing that they know this will be for TV. Now-a-days the wrestler is so aware of the hard camera and how to get your moves in such a way that the camera can capture it. Look at back here and these guys seem absolutely oblivious.
Putski puts a hammerlock on and wrenches in over and over to the point where it looks like Shaw is in legit pain and runs to the ropes so the hold can be broken. Shaw tries to do a headlock and put some extra umph on it. Putski easily slams Shaw to the mat.
Putski has a chinlock on and screams “Polish Power” and the crowd screams back at him in response. Putski looks like a Greek God and has the crowd responding to him, he doesn’t have much wrestling ability though.
He throws some punches and hits a Polish Hammer for the win.
And I’m Like… I like the idea of Putski, and how he will take the fight to anyone. I don’t like watching Putski though, he is a fighter. He has very little offense outside of strikes.
Putski says in the ring when he gets mad he loses consciousness and loses control in the ring. Vince asks Ivan what he eats to stay in shape. “If a man is gonna work out and maintain his body he needs fuel. If you want your car to run well you need the best gas the best fuel. With a body you gotta eat the best food for your body. Ivan is bringing out Polish Soul Food.
ANOTHER COOKING SEGMENT!!
Ivan Putski Cooks
Putski actually brings out the lady that cooked it all, he spoke in Polish to the woman a bunch then kissed her. He is showing us cabbage dough. Alfred Hayes is actually interested in eating it. He offers it to McMahon who AGAIN turns it down. Pierogi’s is what they are. Ivan keeps telling us that it is Polish Soul Food. He says they drink coffee and tea, they also make the best Vodka and Whiskey but Russia takes the country’s liquor and puts the Russian label on it.
A Polish hotdog is getting made and McMahon is making wiener jokes. Ivan says Polish sausage doesn’t have any leftover meat. McMahon says you have the drink and the food, he says all that is missing is the music. Just then a band and dancers appear… This is crazy! Every week they legit shock me with the craziness.
And I’m Like… Vince says we will be back with more Polish partying. Ivan lets us know that Polish music is Polka. I NEVER KNEW THAT !!! That makes so much sense!! Now we are watching two people dance to polka music! This show needs to be brought back for the Network. We need 2016 wrestlers doing crazy stuff like this. I want a Cesaro yodel with dancing. I wanna see what Rusev eats. I wanna see Adam Rose celebrate SOMETHING! This is such an amazing show for having such little wrestling, just because of the sheer obscurity of everything. We legit had a three minute polka dance. Now Ivan is gonna sing!!! What the hell!! He is pounding on the drum and singing horribly!! I can’t get over how much fun this is. Putski in Polish and English singing about how he loves us with all his heart while pounding on drums with his hand…. Wow. POLISH POWER!!!
McMahon says we aren’t done yet and the band starts playing again and MCMAHON IS DANCING!!! If I ever meet McMahon, I want at least an hour to talk about times like this. LOOK AT HOW MUCH FUN HE IS HAVING!!
He is all over the place and dominating the dance floor. McMahon dancing polka is not something I knew I needed…
Next up is the former Minnesota Guv’nah
Jesse Ventura Interview
McMahon says it is hard to calm down after that polka power. He segues from Putski’s physique to Jesse Ventura’s.
The Body asks to hear some more polka.. Then yells at the band for having crappy music. He wants so Rolling Stones and some Rock and Roll. The band all of a sudden does a hip-hoppy
Ohio Players
type song. Then Ventura rips on the band for having an accordion player.
Ventura is like Hogan meets Randy Savage. Jesse says that when Putski retires he should hold a tin cup for organ grinders, cause of those dance moves. Then McMahon brings us to a match.
Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura vs. S.D. Jones
Jones gets two matches on one show! Ventura is ridiculous. We need more crazy buffoon types in wrestling today. There is no person with multi-colored hair, hats, crazy shirts, sunglasses, facial hair, jewelry. This guy is just everything wrapped into one. He could talk too, I never got to see him wrestle in WWF too much so this should be interesting.
Ventura just walks in circles touching his hair. Alfred Hayes says he feels bad for anyone without a color TV. Hayes tells us that The Body is very controversial and opinionated. Mean Gene can’t get over Ventura’s hair color.
Jones fights back with some headbutts but the crowd does not care. Jesse hits a leg drop and decides not to pin. He then hits a bodyslam and elbow for the win…
And I’m Like… That happened, Jesse didn’t differentiate himself much in the ring. I understand why he was used as a color commentator. The man has charisma up the wazoo, but he wasn’t too exciting in the ring. Then again I don’t know if S.D. Jones had many good matches. The match ended but S.D. tried to attack Ventura and the segment ended in a criss-cross.
Vince asks Jesse to describe his hair. “Beautiful” He then calls Vince, Jack McMahon. HE says everything he does is original. He says he is the Rolling Stones personal bodyguard. Jesse says McMahon is the reason he wrestles the way he does, not Alfred though because Alfred is from England. See Jesse fought in Vietnam, and now he says we (the people of America) created Jesse The Body. He doesn’t care about us or anything anymore.
Jesse does have goals though, his first goal is to beat Hogan. Jesse says Hogan has been hiding for 3 to 4 years. Jesse says everytime Ventura is in the same area Hulk goes running to Japan or Europe. Jesse says the first few seconds of a match with him and Hogan, Jesse would hypnotize him.
Jesse says Ivan Putski is a strong man but has one problem. He is ugly and short…. Ventura’s delivery is a lot like Zoolander.
And I’m Like… Jesse knew how to be full of himself. He was quite a character too, hell he still is quite a character. Too bad he never actually did a storyline later in his career for WWF.
McMahon wants to look at the tag team division in the closing moments of the show.
Afa and Sika were highlighted and the show a match between The Wild Samoans and Murdoch and Adonis. Which has me think, why did Murdoch always team with overweight gentlemen? The Samoans won the match and the crowd is SO LOUD! I have never heard a louder crowd yet.
Next team was Terry Daniels and Sgt. Slaughter. Terry Daniels did not last long, he doesn’t have much of anything about him on the interwebs. Daniels does not know what to do outside of arm work. He looks very confused. We didn’t even see them do a team move or show teamwork at all.
The Moondogs are the next team we are looking at, this version is “Rex and Spot”. I feel like our modern day Moondogs are the Briscoe brothers. If only for matching attire and ratty ass clothes. Shout out to B. Brian Blair who is on the apron.
And I’m Like… Vince was letting us know how much trouble Adonis and Murdoch are gonna be in after seeing all the teams in the company. Vince asks Alfred who is the team he would least like to face. Albert said The Samoans.
That is the show…. I am wondering if you would like or share it… If so that would be very cool. So cool, you would get the cool points for the day !
Have a good one
-Jake
