WWF New Generation Thread III

[Valeyard]

I would say it was a popular haircut ATT but I don't remember many adults rocking that type of bowl cut! Besides Bowlcut Kid, I can't recall too many people over the age of 12 having that hair cut.

It's a total 90s lesbian stereotype cut. Like the kind a sitcom character gets because it's funny and lesbian jokes are in.

 

[Valeyard]

Still 100% sure Tony Khan posted here so he would count.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

if he counts then Dave Prazak count.

Technically and I guess just barely considering we were all in 5th grade, the first pair of breasts I saw was a butch stereotypical '90s lesbian with aforementioned haircut getting her shirt accidentally ripped off while fighting a boy. GTs.

Back to Spotlight, I was surprised when I found out they ever aired exclusive matches let alone as late as late summer '93.

Also weird to see Papa Shango around this late. It is kind of sad for the @BruiserBrodys and mes of the world to see him reduced to an already in the ring, jobber entrance.

According to Between the Sheets "Titangate Part 3" special, Warrior stooged himself to Vince on getting HGH from England. He told him sometimes customs claims it. He even admitted Davey was the one who told him about how to order.
I assume to avoid legal issues, Vince then had to fire both men for skirting the rules.

Last show Bobby & Gorilla hosted together (unless you count the Bingo Break pilot). It's too bad it was wasted on the least important WWF show.

Give me HOG Vs Joey Janela!

 

[Valeyard]

It's an unpopular opinion I'm sure but one of the coolest things HHH ever did was go to bat for HOG and get him a developmental deal way back out of thanks for the hog pen days.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I just wish he had made it to the main roster during that late '00s run. HOG as manager/part time six man partner for Jesse & Festus could've worked dammit!

 

[Fall of Epic]

Yeah Godwinn was hired in '06 when they were trying to get veterans to work with green talent at Deep South. They also hired Marty Jannetty and 2 Cold Scorpio.

I thought the "Born Again" gimmick was invented by WWF but here is Jake The Snake doing it in Apter Magazine a year earlier.

And imagine going into a 1995 NYC bar and Missy Hyatt is your bartender. Hubba hubba.

 

[Valeyard]

Jake is the ultimate pro wrestler. Never stop the hustles.

 

[strummer]

I swear I remember a story about Missy showing up at a wwe house show at
MSG in late 97/early 98 in the front row and teasing taking her top off the whole show to try and get a job.

Pretty sure it was the same show as the Shawn v Brooklyn Brawler match

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Didn't Missy show up in the audience of an ECW show in NYC around that time too looking for work?

That HBK/Brawler match was less than a week after the Montreal Screwjob. That had to be a wink wink nudge nudge reference for all of the hardcore smart fans in NYC to Bret complaining that he'd rather lose the title to Brawler than HBK, right?

 

[Valeyard]

Could've changed a few things and had Goldust leave Terri for Missy. Forget the TAFKA Goldust shit and go scumdust with skanky Missy.

The European version of the WWF mag. USA got a version with Bret on Lonesome Dove.

[Tino Standard]

Someone needs to steal that spot at the 40-second mark for a Rumble elimination

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

If wrestling wasn't so racist and behind the times, I feel like Konnan should have been in the mix as potential option for WWF World Champion in '92.

In fact, it's kind of weird that WWF still hasn't really had a long term Latino World Champion since Pedro Morales. Eddie burned out in 3-4 months and Rey's never really had a good World Title run. Don't even bring up that piece of slime Del Rio.

I feel like 3-4 months is long-term by today's standards.

Konnan would've been a perfect guy to bring in for Diesel to feud with. Sub him for Bulldog at IYH and the match, with two guys trying desperately to show they have something to prove, would be ten times better than what we got. I think he might be the only guy at the time who could've gotten something really watchable out of Jake, just based on their history.

Hell make him a heel for a little while in 1993 so he can represent Mexico against Luger or feud with 123 Kid for a while.

 

[BruiserBrody]

IMO:
Konnan/Nash would have been a car wreck.
Konnan's early WCW stuff was pretty spotty and obvious co-op as it was. I can't see him and Nash meshing at all.
Konnan vs Shawn in 93/94 would have probably been a banger.
Konnan was breaking down fast too as he was trying to work Lucha while also roided to the gills.

Signing Konnan to be Max Moon instead of building off his fame in 1992/93 was pretty stupid.

I am not sure if I read about him in PWI (or at least paid attention) until seeing the World's Collide PPV ad w/ Konnan vs Perro in my neighbor's cable guide.
PWI made a big deal out of taking Jake's hair.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Don't forget prime Konnan Vs Bret Hart.

Or prime Konnan Vs Ric Flair. Even broken down Konnan Vs Ric Flair in '96 was still pretty good.

When wasn't Stu a befuddled, doddering sadist? Like he looked and sounded 80 when he first made an appearance.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Before he had a gazillion kids maybe?

Vince brings the workrate heavy stuff for the Survivor Series hard sell special.
Gunns vs Heavenly Bodies (w/ Stan Lane commenting for a little bonus fun) and Bulldog vs Owen.
