I had this episode on tape as a kid. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this, but I watched it so many times that I remember most of this. Wonderful time to be a kid.
Combs looked he was having fun and you could tell he's a wrestling fan since he participated in numerous WWF PPVs and I read he was a real life friend of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan!
When you look at all the old WWF/WCW footage of Sherri Martel (Russell), it's hard to get by the image of her with all that ridiculous glitter makeup on. However, without the makeup on Sherri was truly a beauty and had a hot body to boot. And unlike today's WWE Divas, Sherri could really wrestle and wasn't there purely as eye candy. And no, she didn't have breat implants (also unlike most of the Divas).
I remember the Giant Killer answering "Linus," like it was the most obvious thing ever, to "Name someone you'd meet in The Land of Oz." Ray: "You know how it is: You go down to Oz on a Saturday night, get together with Charlie Brown and Peanuts gang, do the town. No problem."
I remember Wrestlemania 8 in 1992. Ray Combs was the ring announcer during an 8 man tag. He goes : "Here we have the Mountie. A man who does not the meaning of the word fear. But in fact there are alot of words he does not know the meaning of" lol
It seriously makes me so sad to know how many wrestlers I loved as a kid are not dead. It’s unreal just how many have died, and almost al of them died way too young. I’ve shed some serious tears over the lost of certain wrestlers. Bobby The Brain Heenan (I know he was really well known as a manager, but he was wrestler before that), Rowdy Roddy Piper and Scott Hall are three losses that made me shed some major tears.
i remember these eps, these aired about 4 weeks after wrestlemania viii...the world bodybuilding federation was very short lived, only lasted from the summer of '91 to about may of '92...
One of the bodybuilders names were Major Guns, There was a lady manager/wrestler in the WCW later on that also went by the name of Major Guns she was the manager of The Macho Man Randy Savage.
terre haute events...you're are correct. the footage belongs to mark goodman and abc...vince can't claim any. especially when he's aligned with nbc! ;)
My question is, why didn't Vince take some guys from the WBF(which he owned) and put them in the WWF? Maybe their answers at the end had something to do with it.
I hope somebody puts up the Family feud with TEAM HBK vs TEAM MACHO MAN. HBK's team was HBK, Jimmy Hart, IRS, Papa Shango, and Repo Man and Macho Man's team was Macho Man, Tatanka, Slick, Big Bossman, and Hacksaw Jim Duggan? I believe, HBK's Team shut them out.
I noticed Ray sighed after Heenan confused him with Wink. Did Ray have a beef with Mr. Martindale? I do remember Ray once guest announcing on Tic Tac Dough in 1983, and as they came back from commercial, he said "Fuck you, Wink."
SPOILER ALERT, Maybe: I can't remember, I think Knobbs was the first one on the fast money and he got like..8 points, and Brain tried to walk away when he heard about it. Does anyone else remember?
