WWF New Generation Thread III

[Valeyard]

Bret playing a Native American is one of those little things that is just really funny.

Nash says on today's pod that HBK didn't chase women because by the time he made it to a bar after wrestling Shawn was already messed up on pills and needed a babysitter.
After Syracuse, Nash demanded he and Shawn get to ride together for HBK's protection.

 

[Valeyard]

Look, good on Nash for implying kayfabe. Shawn said the second he showed up that Nash was around to keep him safe and keep the women away.

I can see the argument for Vince staying on air compared to Lawler's accusations.

Two things:

1. Patriot has a pretty good point that's still relevant today at 0:40.
2. I think Bret roughing up Vince at 4:15 was before Austin stunned him for the first time which means it was before Vince was acknowledged as the owner on-air so I think I was confused at the time what Bret's beef was with Vince. JR's reaction is great.

Hook that to my veins. What a scene!

Well, in that video I just chalked it up to Bret being angry he wasn't the champ.

Still love Sid's line at 2:05 "I DON'T KNOW SHIT, CRY BABY!"

 

[Valeyard]

Didn't get the Vince fight beyond being sorta happy a heel finally went after face Vince. But I literally remember thinking it made little sense because Monsoon was the president.

Well that settles it. Gonna have to pony up for Peacock and watch 1997 WWF for the very first time. Good gravy, what a hot angle.

Grow that heel beard ASAP. Looking like Rocky Dennis here.

If this was Global Warfare, Crush/Shawn is good despite the finish. Shawn could carry Crush better than anyone, just lame how frankly over-protected he was in 1993.

Perfect/Samu is pretty good as well, but it also feels every bit of its length and Perfect had no business making Samu look like a threat.

Imagine a gimmick so bad that Bastion Booger is a significant improvement.

10 year old Brody was very much into Owen trying to snag the upset and was upset when Owen blew his knee out and wound up losing.

Bret banged Salt N Pepa, didn't he

How many times did WWF air an IRL injury that happened during a taped match? Hard to avoid it on a live show but you think they would have just not aired it for one of these shows.

Graham for one.
If we remember more older injuries, maybe the answer will grow.

It is sort of impressive that the WWF signed a jacked guy who could do top rope spots at a point where the roster was very weak and still did nothing with him.

Vince "He'll feud with KWANG!"

A couple 1994 questions.

It looks like after WrestleMania there was a run of matches advertised between Lex Luger and Mr. Perfect. Was this done knowing that Perfect wasn't going to be able to wrestle? Perfect did a couple promos on TV and then it was announced on Superstars one day that he had backed out of the matches and was suspended indefinitely.

Was there any kind of explanation on TV as to why Samu was replaced in the Headshrinkers? Barbarian had been working house shows in the summer as the Barbarian, so how long was it known that Samu was on the outs?

From the Wiki, which actually made me lol:

The kayfabe reason given to Samu's departure was that he "ate some bad fish and got a disease" and was not coping well with manager Lou Albano's attempts to civilize the Headshrinkers, especially wearing boots.
