Epic for the Summer

Only thing I remember about Lita (Ms. Congeniality) in ECW is that backstage vignette where Jerry Lynn walks in on her changing and shoots his shot with her.
The TV taping dark matches are uber fascinating to me for the 90s. Paul Roma is one 80s guy who got a try out in the later 90s. Tenta had a tryout the same time as OMG, but Big John was able to become Golga.What other 80s guys got shots in the 90s and 2000s? Earthquake worked a few dark matches in 2001 and I read the other day the Nasty Boys got a dark match in 2007 against Drew McIntyre and Dave Taylor. They worked stiff and didn't go home on their cue so they were never brought back again.
This would have been incredible.One Man Gang had a tryout in Feb 98. Now I wish Russo would have booked him to retransform into Akeem and try and get into the NOD.
Makes sense as John Tenta had a few dark matches immediately after OMG's appearance.Gang was probably up for the Golga gig. That said, I didn't consider how much the Corporate Twin Towers could've added to the show until now.
I thought Lothario was having money problems and HBK wanted to give his trainer a payday?
