I will never forget Useless Moron Scott Keith's review of that show pointing out how Double J, Scott Hall and Shamrock all came out and buried the main event idea as lousy in their promo.

Dusty: See, Luger's so over that's he's popping the houses, so if we don't give him the belt, the fans will keep coming.
Voice 1: "But Hogan just held the title for 4 years and was setting arena records in 1987 yet..."
Crockett "Fuck it, I'm broke, do whatever"
Ted Turner "Gee, I like that Flair boys style"
JR "Bah Gawd, Dr Death played Footbawl!!!"
Sting "Do we have any heels other than Flair?"
Tully "Where's the coke?"
Nikita Koloff "My wife's cancer treatments took away my steroid budget!"
Corny "*Something Racist* Snoopy laugh *"
Magnum TA: "My arm tingles"

Crazy that this happened less than 25 years ago. I miss the days when NBA All Stars could rassle during the offseason.

Glad he was able to weather his personal demons and the existence of X-Factor to be here today. Hopefully he has a few more Bronco Busters in him (watch out for the turnbuckles) before hanging up the tights.
Edit- I guess it was two days ago and old posts are showing up in my feed. HAPPY BELATED X-PAC!

I'm such a fucking geek that I know exactly where I was when I heard the Rodman news.
I was laying in bed at 11 at night on a school night, listening to Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. They did the hour news break and the Rodman stuff was announced. I was so excited I ran next door to my mom's bedroom (she was reading) and told her "I know you don't care, but I HAVE to tell somebody!"
Thankfully CXF exists so I can blather on and pretend somebody out there is listening.

I like that talk radio made enough of an impact in the '90s and early-mid '00s that people still regularly "Thanks for taking my call" at my job.
Internally every time, I want to respond "Well, I'm not Howard Stern. I'll literally get fired if I don't".

Life imitating art/'00s nostalgia is cool now.

29 years ago today, Hulk Hogan had his last match in WWF for nine years.
I like that Tito, the one guy who was still on the roster from before when Hogan showed up, got a victory. Tito's run actually lasted a week longer than Hogan's too. Score one for the Arribaman!

Tito's last WWF match was with Damien Demento and tbh, I'm just as if not more surprised that Demento made it to August '93. My last memory of Damien Demento is him being scared of Giant Gonzalez at Royal Rumble '93 and he made it to October!

Four years later and he is one of the biggest babyfaces in wrestling.
Go figure. I thought this Impact run was a “thank you for your service on the indies”, end of the line deal. It ended up just being a weird forgotten side note before his big break.

I know it was after the name change but it really felt like the last TNA Wrestling angle.

I feel like the Un-Americans t-shirt with the upside down flag must be one of the worst selling WWE shirts of all time.
I'd totally rock that now though ngl.
