[quote name='SevereTireDamage']"Marty Jenetty" is going to end up being some random lame guy in a costume, isn't he?

That's what I'm guessing, anyway...[/quote]

Do you not know who he is?
 
Oh God... someone needs to get out the History of HBK textbook or dvd or anything, cuz not knowing who Marty Janetty is, is boarderline blasphemy in this topic.

The next topic should be on not one man, but two, the two greatest color commentators of this, or any other wrestling generation.

I know who he is, smartasses. :roll: That's my point.

EDIT: To be even clearer, just in case, I mean Angle will mock the real one by hiring some local worker to portray him.
 
While Vince and Jesse were good on Saturday Night's Main Event, they can't hold a candle to The Brain and Gorilla Monsoon.
 
[quote name='smellhasreturned']Impact Time yah[/quote]

WTF? My channel has women's basketball on right now. Just checked and my area won't air it until tomorrow night(and that's the only airing they're showing) at midnight. :(

About time someone mentioned the greatest duo; you guys ever watch Prime Time Wrestling? Those fuckers were *on*, all the time.

myke.
...I can't watch the Hall of Fame from last year, where Heenan starts tearing up, saying he wished Monsoon could be there. That's too much for my weepy ass.

Seriously, when Bobby is up there talking about how much better it would be if Gorilla was there, with his now unfamiliar voice....I get misty. It's age and its coming for all of us.


Just the way they would play off each other was great, they really were the greatest heel and face commentary team of all time. Plus, just the banter that they would have back and forth, how Gorilla would talk about cook outs at his house and Bobby would wonder when HE didn't get an invitation and that maybe it got "lost in the mail" and Bobby would start in on how the post office is always losing his invitation to places.

It may all sound corny but back before there were PayPerViews every four weeks they had to talk about something to fill in the dead air.
 
here are my shirts... sorry if this takes up too much room... if it does i'll take them down. Let me know if anyone wants these.

For some reason, I really recall Monsoon yelling such things as "Will you behave!?!?!" although there certainly were much better catch phrases they used ("humanoid" or "ham-n-eggers").

I liked the studio format (just the two of them with the pisspoor baby blue stage, with one television monitor between them. Those fuckers were so good that I didn't realize how duped I was into staying up late (for a 9 year old) to watch The Mountie and Nailz take on Tugboat and The Big Boss Man (or some such similar nonsense).

They later had a "studio audience," which was approximately 7 people; for the uninitiated, watch Ric Flair's WWF debut on his DVD set. Seriously, it's the parents of the Beverly Brothers and some fat kids from the street.

myke.
...now, if 24/7 started showing this stuff in consistent serial fashion (fuckin' reruns, man!), I'd get bedsores from sitting on my couch so much.

I'm willing to sell all of them... the black and red raven one is ecw.
 
Trytan scared me when he was in the ring and did that little finger pose thing. It reminded me of something but i dont know what it is...

[quote name='Scorch']That Monday Night Jericho shirt is :drool:[/quote]

I found that one at the goodwill store about 4 or 5 months ago for 3 or 4 bucks. I love it :D
 
Ah, I was getting worried when I got to the bottom of the page 6 and no one else had mentioned Brain and Gorilla. Those two were simply a joy to watch. I bet they'd be even more fun to go back and listen to now.

I too must admit that seeing Heenan choke up when he was giving his induction speech was hard to watch, but WWE promptly ruined it the next night with that Mae Young/Moolah skit.

It was actually hard for me to listen to the Brain talk. It made me sad because of how bad of shape he is in.

Same here. It was depressing as hell. He also talks in "Showdown: Legends of Wrestling" and you can tell the difference. I usually turn commentary down low or off.

It made me happy because he fought cancer twice and survived both times, a testament to his undoubtedly strong-willed nature. Although at the same time it is very sad to see a man who relied so heavily upon his voice for so many years to have that stricken from him.

Anyone read either of the Brain's books?

I'd like to read one of his books eventually. Do you know of a cheap price for them?
 
I've gotta say, after finally getting some play in on Smackdown!: HCtP, I like Day of Reckoning a LOT more. Smackdown does have a LOT more moves and a better story mode, I do admit, but as far as gameplay goes, I think DoR has it trumped in every way.

What was the AAO surprise? Billy Gunn?

myke.

I'm going to Raw tomorrow night. I'll be sitting directly across from the camera about 3 rows up so it should be a good spot for signs. I'm probably going to take that says "CAG" on it. Any ideas for other ones? Make 'em really funny.

as unfunny as the scenario is, the "Edge Speared Lita" sign still had my more vulgar side chuckling last week.

I'll recommend the following:

"Send Masters to OVW"
"Skinner got OLD!"
"Screwjob Finish!"

and, because it's been dropped as a catchphrase (much to my chagrin):

"Proud Member of the Christian Coalition"

[quote name='Zenithian Legend']Ah, I finally watched the Princess Bride, Andre delivers such a great performance in that movie.[/quote]

I often am criticized for not having seen some movie (Oh, you've never seen "Tango & Cash!?!? What's fuckin' wrong with you, man!?!?), so I'll not go there.

However, I will point out that, if you say the line "Are there rocks up ahead?" to any random person on the street, approximately 70% will say "If there are, we'll all be dead!"
