Damn. Didn't know they were still using "Crank It Up" as the generic theme music for babyfaces doing tryout matches all the way into 1996. Jimmy Hart had been in WCW for almost two years at that point!

IIRC Rock mentioned this in his (largely awful) book.

This was not a TV taping but I NEED to see it so please tell me there's a fancam somewhere.

@King Kamala Your post about the Wrestlemania 3 six-man tag match led me to find out that Danny Davis was still working matches in the 2000s including a feature match for JAPW in 2001 against Dan Maff

 

[Valeyard]

Wait that means WCW could've had him be the evil nWo ref. Hell at least Dean vs Dangerous Danny on a random Saturday Night.

Segments you didn't know existed. I didn't know they started setting up Sherri becoming Macho Man's manager before WrestleMania V. Also the oratory skills of Rockin' Robin.

There was never a more suitable match to be called PRO WRESTLING MAGIC

I’ve never seen Dr. Cube before but now I have my answer of most likely candidate to be the Hogan/Austin of this era

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

World has been clamoring to see Kaiju Big Battle and '00s WWE combined.

 

[Baby Shoes]

@The Art of Postin' thought you may want to watch this bro future of wrestling here

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Best thing about Kaiji Big Battel is during their Mania Week shows, it's usually famous indy wrestlers underneath the masks.

This has probably been posted in here before and will probably be posted in here again. @The Art of Postin' 's dream match (probably)

 

[Valeyard]

If not it's definitely one of mine. Fuck yeah.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

The dream match I never knew I wanted.

WWE champ Shawn Michaels works the B (C?) show weeks before losing the belt to SID.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Superstars was still the B show in '96 just by proxy of being the only other show besides RAW that still had exclusive matches. I watched pretty much until it became a recap show and they had occasional angles and main eventer appearances even until the end. I remember SID defended the World Title on Superstars against one of the Grimm Twins (Harris Brothers).

Checked Cawthon and revealed that while SID did wrestle a Harris Brother on Superstars in November '96, it was not a WWF World Title match. I either Mandela Effected it and/or just confused it with the time SID wrestled Kevin Nash and one of the Harris Brothers in a Triple Threat Cage Match for the vacant WCW World Title after Chris Voldemort left for WWF.

 

[Valeyard]

Shawn had a couple. I know he had one with Bradshaw out of nowhere.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

He also had a match with Tatanka in build up to WrestleMania XII, according to Cawthon's.

Internet wrestling sleuth Richard Land has finally uncovered material I've been coveting most- Gorilla Monsoon doing commentary on '99 WWF UK C shows.

 

[Baby Shoes]

How I‘ve longed for Gorilla to pontificate about Meat.

 

[BruiserBrody]

The WWF mag (likely Russo) wrote at some point about how Gorilla didn't approve of the modern product and had to have commentary redone when he bashed the product or ring work a bit too much.

 

[Valeyard]

I think a similar thing happened with Cornette too.
