I was a huge Skyscraper Sid mark. I didn't get Horseman Sid. Huge Sid Justice fan. After that, he was just another big roid guy to me. Not sure why.

New ep of Photo Shoot is up with Godfather.
He talks about... Wrestlers court BSK Papa Shango Warrior feud Missed entrance at Mania 8 Kama the Supreme Fighting Machine Making a chain out of the urn Casket Match with Taker WCW/NWO/Virgil The Nation Godfather character Ho Train Team w/Val called Supply & Demand (didn't know that) D'Lo working at his strip club The Goodfather and how he hated it Hall of Fame
Had absolutely no idea Kama stood for Kick.Any.Mans.Ass
Also he was in talks with WCW to become the bodyguard to the NWO in 96 but they never returned his calls after the initial pitch and thinks they went with Virgil because they could get him much cheaper. Never knew that either.
27 minutes. Give it a watch. It's fantastic.

Watching a match from RAW 96, it's the Body Donnas vs Tekno Team 2000. Lawler said this line to Vince. This was early 96.
"This team is from the future and speaking of future, McMahon, in a year there's going to be a pill that restores full function to impotent men. You can finally throw that pump away."
Good Lord. Needed to share that pre-Attitude Era line.

Haha, it's bound to happen.
Also I saw the WWF Superstar Line commercial that had JR doing a voiceover saying "On Option 6, What do Magic Johnson and The British Bulldog have in common? And it's not that they play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers!"
They mentioned that briefly in the Bulldog ep and Conrad said what the fuck? Are they insinuating that Bulldog has HIV?
It was weird to see that actually on the Network.

The Hidden Gems are pretty interesting. Especially the old ones. Terry Funk cutting a promo on Dusty and Dustin with a chainsaw in hand was great.

Holy crap is Bruce full of shit on this WWECW ep of Something to Wrestle.
He's driving home the point of RVD being a "WWE guy" when ECW went out of business. That's bullshit, ECW folded in January 2001 and RVD showed up in June/July!
He's also defending The Zombie.
Conrad isn't having any of it. Bruce is delusional as fuck on some issues. Still a WWE guy (even more so now that they're on the Network).

Interesting, the Something Else to Wrestle that goes up tonight (or whenever anymore) will be about AJ Style and will include his TNA run from when Bruce was there.

Maybe you guys knew this but from my random Wikipedia hopping last night I found out that AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy and Randy Savage were on the same tag team in a PPV one time in TNA. I had no clue.

I just watched the part of the match Savage participated in. Holy shit his body was stiff and broken. All he could do was punch. Soncrazy to see for how athletic of a guy he was. Also, the Kong’s of Wrestling might be my new favorite gimmick for Hall and Nash. I can’t belielve that was a thing. If you hadn’t seen it before, please just watch the entrance for KoW. youtu.be/eVKzsyyUSjI

Yeah there was a reason he was in that match 90 seconds. Even when he came back to WCW as a heel in 99, he was so jacked up and lost so much of his speed and pop it was hard to watch.
Watching that match I can't help but think how much better of a commentator Don West is over damn near every main roster commentator.

They just put up a Hidden Gem match on the Network featuring Kenny Omega from Deep South Wrestling (it's on the featured front page of the Network is how I discovered it).
Man, they've been really mentioning Omega & The Bucks quite a bit on social media. First with the New Day vs Elite video game thing, Cathy Kelley talking about it on the WWE Today thing they do and now having a Omega match on the Network.

Seeing Omega back in 2006 is insane.

I think it's Bill Demott on commentary too. Him saying that Omega was showing off too much (even though Kenny was a babyface in the match) is funny to hear.
Bill Demott, who was allergic to charisma most of his run.

On a WWF Raw 2000 kick. Eddie & Chyna in the early formation of the Mamacita run is so fucking great.
I'm in May 2000 right now. Latino Heat was amazing.
Also I just watched the episode where Trish did Table Tips in lingerie to mess with Bubba Dudley before Backlash. Holy fuck, Trish was Roll Tide as ever. Whatever is higher than Roll Tide, that's what Trish was in those segments.

There were 4 different segments with her. It's like she got hotter by the segment! Chyna at this time was at her peak too as Mamacita. Lita is just about to dump Essa Rios and pair with the Hardys.
Also on an unrelated note, the past two RAWs I've watched Stephanie has given Vince a quick kiss on the lips both episodes in backstage segments. Fucking creepy as hell.

It's a legit miracle WCW stuck around in 2000. Damn near everyone on RAW is so fucking over.
Scotty Too Hotty doing The Worm? Crowd exploded. Edge & Christian just became smart ass heels with a 5 second pose.
They're calling Shane McMahon 'Simba' for the love of God!
Pedro Martinez Is A Rudy Poo Candyass is a sign I just saw in the crowd. Oh 2000.

Dean Malenko just accepted the offer from The Godfather and took the Hos, leaving Saturn to wrestle Godfather & Essa Rios (Lita just dumped Rios post match)
So many little things you forget about the Attitude Era.
Dean Malenko: Ladies Man is one of those things, haha
