They had a free wrestling hotline. Usually it was Cody Boyns reading off rumors and results.

i remember it from the phone book. there were also numbers to do quizzes and such. i'd get my rumors, play a few music quizzes and then play some nhl 94

Lol they had a baseball trivia game that I played constantly.

Well, he wants out.

I was just on the WWE roster page and saw that apparently Jimmy Yang and Petey Williams work for the company as agents? I don’t know why, but that seems odd to me. Still, the weirdest one is them hiring Sylvain Grenier to be in that position.

XL 11-08-2021 09:44 AM

That great wrestling mind Sylvain Grenier?

Bad News Gertner 11-08-2021 09:56 AM

I'm guessing that was a favour for Pat Patterson

Remember when Fit Finlay was the official who just kind of shrugged and let Becky Lynch into the Women’s Royal Rumble that year she won? Rules do not apply to this man.

That’s what I *kinda* figured, but it seems WAAAAY too much.

He was hired at the beginning of 2020. I find it pretty coincidental that the 2020 Rumble was one of the better booked ones in a while. Thought it may have been payment for Pat getting his hands in there, but apparently that was mainly a Brock, Heyman, Lance Storm and Jamie Noble.

I dunno. Just weird to think of Sylvan advising people on how to structure their wrestling match. I guess there are other things agents can do/are responsible for.

Mr. Nerfect 11-08-2021 03:51 PM

I’m not interested in WOW, per se, but I do find it interesting that Viacom is throwing it’s hat into the wrestling game. I do wonder what moves, if any, they will make in early 2022, and whether or not there is any interest in a men’s program to go along with it.

Oddly enough, the "rockhouse" nwo theme (the standard nwo theme) is basically a load of sound samples from hendrix songs pieced together and extended to be a theme.

Isn't it funny how a simple thing like letting the music play can make something seem more real and unexpected? Not something that would ever happen these days, the micro maanaging mid 70's maniac would have a stroke over something like that.

It will always be weird to me to watch these interviews with Taker where he is just himself. The deadman persona is just so ingrained into my memory that seeing the real him is just wild. Seems like a really cool dude irl, someone you could go grab the proverbial couple of beers with.

I used to keep up with it through Cornette but he can’t even bring himself to review it anymore. It’s gotta be REALLY unremarkable.

Cornette’s idea for the NXT time slot was basically my suggestion. Scrap NXT (or put it on Hulu or the Network exclusively) and use the 2-hour Tuesday slot for a Raw vs. SmackDown program. Or at least something using main roster talents in ways you wouldn’t usually see on Raw and SmackDown.

NXT is just not helping anyone right now. It can be restricted programming and exist and be whatever, but it’s on basic cable.

GD 11-10-2021 03:23 PM

Remember when JBL won the Smackdown Championship?
