Notice Savage didn't bring Liz with him this time. Gotta keep that LUST out of Hogan's eyes

 

[Valeyard]

That gif makes me a little angry. Some things should never be. I can dig WCW Mega Powers but WWF 1992 Powers is fucked up. Savage would never do that, let Hogan see the cuck in his eyes.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Would WrestleMania IX have been better if it was Money Inc Vs The Mega Powers instead of Money Inc Vs Mega Maniacs? Probably not but maybe!

 

[alfdogg]

Shoulda been Money Inc vs the ULTIMATE Maniacs

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I cannot imagine any scenario where The Ultimate Warrior would acknowledge the Tag Team Titles let alone want them but then again, I would think the same of Hulk Hogan before '93 (and he randomly won 'em nine years later with Edge).

 

[Valeyard]

Now you got me wondering what would happen if you ran Hogan/Warrior at Wrestlemania 9.

 

[alfdogg]

Savage and Warrior vs the Steiners. Come on.

I saw a screencap and thought I was having a stroke. Most random of matches.

post MNW era WWE Developmental was wild.

Closest we'll get to Jerry Lawler Vs AJ Styles.

(Which would rule btw. If AJ Styles got a good match out of 2003 Larry Zbyszko, you know him Vs '00s Lawler would've rocked!)

WWF @ Lowell, MA - Memorial Auditorium - January 29, 1992
Hercules pinned Nikolai Volkoff

In 1992, this sounds like one of the worst matches one could be subjected to. .

Matches like this are why I say mid 2010s TNA is such a blur.

Footage of that HBO show was shown on Vince's far less famous 2nd appearance on Bob Costas's show.

 

[Super Leather]

I'd love to see that HBO show. That's a fantastic card!

Genuinely fascinated to see what a Shawn Michaels-Bushwhacker Butch match would look like. I bet you could count the number of Bushwhacker Butch singles matches in WWF on one hand and maybe still have some fingers left. And Cagematch says the next day at the Philadelphia Spectrum, The Bushwhackers faced Shawn Michaels and Repo Man. I'm assuming one of the Beverly Brothers was having a kid or something?

I really wish they still filmed Spectrum shows in '92. I'd love love love to see Shawn Michaels & Repo Man interaction.

 

[HarleyQuinn]

I know they had some matches later but didn't know they wrestled as early as 1991. HBK vs. Mr. Perfect!

 

[alfdogg]

It was on one of the CV releases I believe. The bit with Andre at the end wasn't included though that I remember

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

"Hey. We should have some WCW guys team up in this tag tournament."
"OK. Do you think we can afford The Steiner Brothers or maybe The Midnight Express."
"I don't really care. Just pick two names out of a hat randomly. They don't even have to be from the same era.
