Idk if I have ever seen Bobby Heenan-Tom Pettengill interaction before. I like implication Heenan was involved in Watergate.
Even if I had watched this as a kid, I would’ve thought Todd/Tom was too stupid in these segments.

Now I want to know what befell the poor sound guy Monsoon and Hayes mentioned.
Uncle Fred got one fan to pop for his corner splash. Probably hour 4 of a TV taping where most of the adults were hoping Saddam would nuke the building and end the pain.

Listening to the final episode of John Arezzi's podcast (well, this current iteration, he is starting up again in April '89 to recover all of the episodes he covered with Brian Last in a few week), covering 1-22-1995 (the morning of Royal Rumble '95). According to 1995 John Arezzi, Jim Neidhart was suspended indefinitely for shaving one of Freddie Blassie's eyebrows on an airplane.
In more upsetting, 29 year old news, Arezzi also read off the 1994 WON Awards. It was revealed Mr. Fuji won "Worst Manager of the Year" eight years in a row and for 10 out of the 12 Observer Awards. Damn you, '80s/'90s smarks.

Fuji was pretty useless once Corny took over as Yoko's handler.

Even at his worst, he was still better than Harvey Whippleman* or WCW Jimmy Hart.
*although Meltz was probably like “well actually Harvey works as Downtown Bruno in Memphis and is really good.”

Finally listening to this while I am home sick. Bruce sounds pilled out or wet brained. Very slurry and rambling. He starts the episode with a big diatribe about how Buddy was a film flam man and regular participant in slip and fall scams.TIL Tatanka was discovered by Buddy Rogers.
Episode 421: Tatanka - Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard
If you've always wanted to know what the real story was behind some of wrestling's biggest moments, Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard will finally give you the real answer. A terrific storyteller, Bruce has done and seen it all and now he's going to share it all with you so sit back and...pca.st
He is still more likable than Bischoff.

Bruce mentioned hanging out with him at CAC.
Buddy Rogers basically died after breaking his hip in a grocery store but if Conrad knew that, Bruce would just say it’s a “Boy Who Cried Wolf” scenario.

I kind of wish WWF would have loaned Jay to ECW to do some vignettes with the FBI

You should check out some of his 70s stuff, before age and obesity he was pretty solid. Granted this is WWWF so babyfaces only need to brawl

I'm going to giggle like crazy if it turns out Henry Godwin got his look from Jim Ross remembering Dickie Murdoch's 'fit from this angle

It took Powers 7 years of doing jobs to realize the WWF saw him as a JTTS apparently.

It doesn’t get much more New Gen than this combo of wrestlers.
Powers and Roma had the (roid) bodies but did not have the height to get a push. Powers was already in his mid 30s when that Kid/Razor angle aired anyway.

Butch had pretty big arms at one point plus they were hangin’ and bangin’ in Tampa with Hulk. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Whackers were on roids tbh.
@BruiserBrody is going to headbutt me in the stomach for such scandalous allegations.

I loved that Michael Hayes remixed the song every few months to reflect the current roster.

Has it been confirmed that’s Dok Hendrix doing the middling Hank Jr impression?

Who was the on-screen Hank Jr for the commercials for the Wrestlemania 11 reairing on Fox? My mind says it was Bruce Pritchard but that is probably not the case since I haven't seen the commercials since it happened. That special was bullshit, too. Stayed up late to watch two clipped matches.
Whoever the singer is is also the one who did the shitty "Sexy Boy" cover from The Music Vol. 2, right? The one everyone wants to believe is Vince?

I think the song debuted on the SummerSlam '95 pre-show. Don't remember who sang it though.

Based on some of the pitches, I'm leaning towards that not being PS Hayes
