WWF Monday Night Raw 5/9/93
EARLIER TODAY. HBK bragged to Lord Al about his talent and why he's going to retain his title in the lumberjack match. OUTTA NOWHERE, Mr. Perfect attacks him and they fight into the streets of NYC. They are pulled apart by staff once HBK gets hip tossed on a car, but they can't hold them back!
Brain says Perfect was paid off by Hacksaw for that attack.
Bam Bam Big Yellow vs Typhoon KOTR Qualifier
There is a lot of beef in the ring. THEY'RE FAT. I know they love sugar. How much do these guys weigh? Where the fuck is Earthquake? Bam Bam is slammed. Typhoon is slammed. Back suplex from Bam Bam. Just fat guys being fat and throwing other fat guys. Typhoon goes face first into the ring post while on the apron. I think there might be a shmear of poop on Bam Bam's head. It isn't blood. It looks like poop. Bam Bam locks on a sleeper. Typhoon corner smashes out of it, but Bam Bam reapplies the hold and we go to break. Typhoon seems to be back in control once we come back. He misses a corner splash. Bam Bam does a Samoan drop and hits the diving headbutt for the win. If you like fat guys slamming each other, you'd probably like this.
Another Smoking Gunns vignette. They're coming! This time they're riding their horses with a weird filter. And then shooting some guns. Brain and Savage both get boners for the Raw girl.
Yokozuna vs PJ Walker
Poor Justin. Dude is about get a giant ass squashing him. Belly to belly. Leg drop. Corner splash. Banzai drop. Eek. Yoko crushed Justin for real.
TO THE KOTR REPORT. This is brought to you by ICOPRO, which is done with a Lex ad this week. Finally. Makes way more sense than Bret Hart. So far, Bret, Lex, Razor, Bam Bam, and Hacksaw are in the tournament. Yoko vs Hogan for the title. This weekend will feature Perfect vs Doink and Tatanka vs Giant Gonzalez in qualifying matches.
Mr. Perfect vs Iron Mark Sharpe
Perfect is seemingly going to kiss the hefty Raw Girl and instead puts his gum in her mouth. And she likes it. What the fuck? Quick and easy squash, although there were some stiff chops from both guys. Perfect hit a blatant low blow in front of the ref (Fonzie), who didn't call him on it. Brain again watches other shows instead of the match. He again tries to watch scrambled porn. It'd be great if WCW just happened to be on. He wonders about that movie about "That girl that went to Dallas". Perfect Plex for the win.
Cannonball Kid vs Mr. Hughes
Harvey Wippleman is Hughes' new manager. Two weeks, two names. Vince calls him Kamikaze kid anyway and his tights have L. Kid on them. Dominating squash for Hughes.
Jim Duggan vs Shawn Michaels WWF Intercontinental Championship Lumberjack Match
The lumberjacks are wearing flannel. Except for Yoko. And Duggan attacks him. HBK comes out on crutches and in street gear. I like that he's wearing an out of date WWF shirt that has the Warrior, LOD, and I think Earthquake on it. Perfect attacks HBK again and throws him in the ring. HBK can walk! It's a miracle! Duggan does an Oklahoma Stampede. HBK can't even get started. Flair Flip. Flair Flop after a stiff back elbow. Duggan is dominating. This is kind of weird that HBK is getting so dominated. He has had zero offense. He tries to run away after being thrown to the floor. Perfect and Backlund carry him back. The Old Glory knee drop missed! Shawn hits him with the Old Glory cowboy boot. Old Glory ref bump. Duggan goes to the Old Glory floor. Now HBK is is control. Duggan comes back with the Old Glory lariatooo. Old Glory back drop. Old Glory 3 point stance sends HBK to the floor. Duggan gets himself disqualified and the lumberjacks all brawl. Duggan clears the ring with his Old Glory board and WE'RE OUTTA TIME!
Idk, it wasn't AS bad as it had been for the last few weeks.

Yo that lumberjack match was on the first Coliseum Video tape I ever bought (from a pawn shop in California)
http://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/2229pj/dave_meltzer_quote_on_cm_punk_from_todays/
Interesting.
MetsFan4Ever supposedly has some WWE Inside Info. He is somewhat reputable.

I super hope Coliseum Home Video tapes eventually get put up. A lot of stuff that was never on anything else. Especially skits and back stage stuff that needs to be seen again.

A lot of the matches had alternate commentary too. Shitty as it was it'd be nice to have. Lord Alfred Hayes! #AllFredEverything
To everyone citing Daniel Bryan yes chanting that he is clealry over and the future of the business
Is K-Dogg the future of WCW? I mean, people chanted his stuff. He must have been the future too. Certainly not that wrestling fans just really like chanting stuff.

If Daniel Bryan joins the nWo Wolfpac, wears a bandana, flannel shirt with only the top button buttoned, Dickies, and a pair of Nike Cortez, then maybe I'll start to like him.
I should make a Shibata version
1. Marks like Tanahashi
2. Guys who can sitll get beat up by MMA rejects like Tanahashi
3. Guys with awful hair
4. Guys with awful tans
5. Japanese Jeff Hardy fans
6. Dumbasses who thinks air guitars were ever cool

WWF Monday Night Raw 5/16/93
We start with some footage of Macho and the Smoking Gunns cheering on a Special Olympian doing dead lifts.
We're shown footage of HBK and Perfect brawling in the street last week. The whole thing.
TO THE BACK. Lord Al is in the same spot where the brawl went down, saying he saw someone arrive in a disguise that will shock everyone. Is it the Shockmaster?
Smoking Gunn vs Glenn Ruth/Tony Vajda
Vajda? Is that a real name? Vag and Bart begin the match. Billy is quickly tagged in. Vag quickly tags out to Thrasher. God, Billy looks like SUCH a scum bag with that gross mullet and pedo mustache. He's going to be in a Wrestlemania match in 2014. Unbelievable. Double Russian leg sweep to Thrasher. Lots of quick tags from the Gunns. Bart doesn't look as scummy despite having the same look. He looks like a guy that would actually have that look and do carpentry work. The Gunns win with a back drop into a piledriver.
Fucking sick of this Mania ad and Todd in general.
TO THE McMAHON. Vince conducts an in ring interview with HBK. I wish there was a camera on Vince at all times on every show he's ever been on. And as part of the Network, you could choose to watch him whenever you want. SHAWN IS GAY chant distracts even Vince. HBK is the champ and told Vince he'd stay the champ. On to Mr. Perfect. He told everyone that he was better than Perfect and he proved it. It's kind of weird seeing HBK with a full head of hair and straight eyes. He will defend his title against anyone, anywhere, anytime. A man with a hood up and sunglasses on enters the ring. Why, that's Marty Jannetty! My GOODNESS! Is HBK a man of his word? Well, he would be, but he doesn't want to hurt Jannetty. The title match is on TONIGHT!
Razor Ramon vs The Kid
Razor immediately throws Kid and then backs him up into the corner to hit a chop louder than the Smoking Gunns' guns. Huge hip toss out of the corner. Abdominal stretch. Fall away slam. Razor runs into the corner and hits the ring post. Moonsault. HOLY SHIT THE KID JUST BEAT RAZOR RAMON!!!!!! I got goosebumps, McMahon!
Tatanka vs Scott Taylor
Brain is talking about toilet paper technique statistics. It seems to be a joke that it makes him a shithead, but since it was PG, that never actually got said. Tatanka dominates and wins with the End of the Trail. Some rough, rough chops in this one.
TO THE KOTR REPORT. HBK and Crush will have a qualifying match this weekend, as will Kamala and Mr. Hughes.
Kamala vs Yokozuna
Fuck. This sounds like it is going to be terrrrrrrible. Hopefully it is very short. Savage more or less calls Tunney out on not giving Bret a title rematch and instead giving him the top seed in the KOTR. Sumo attack. Yoko got rocked. A second one almost takes Yoko down. Kamala throws some shots, but Yoko recovers and gets him down. Leg drop. Fuji distracts Kamala. Superkick. 2 corner splashes. Banzai drop. Thankfully this was kept short.
Shawn Michaels vs Marty Jannetty WWF Intercontinental Championship
Marty hasn't been seen I believe since the Royal Rumble. He scores a number of near falls in the opening minute. A lariato sends HBK to the floor. Baseball slide. Marty skins the cat and hits a pescado in one motion. Marty rolls through the superkicks and hits a Japanese arm drag and old timey head scissors. Fans are solidly behind him. Big back drop. Flair Flip sends Shawn all the way to the floor. Shawn tries to leave. But Mr. Perfect is standing in the aisle way! Shawn gets brought back in the hard way. Marty again goes for the head scissors, which is countered into a stun gun. HBK throws some rapid fire punches in the corner. Brain calls Perfect a jackass. It's a family show, Brain! Standing dropkick. He tries another and is caught with a slingshot. Shawn hit the post! My goodness! HBK barely kicks out. Great powerslam. Another near fall. Marty pump fakes in the corner and hits a crossbody for another 2. Sweet Chin Music! Shawn gets distracted shit talking Perfect. Perfect throws his towel. Marty rolls HBK up. New champion!
It took 17 weeks, but they finally had a Raw show that was enjoyable from start to finish. You could even go so far as to say it was good. For the first time. In 17 weeks. Kid pinning Razor still gives me goosebumps. Marty showing up out of nowhere and winning the title unannounced was the first "anything can happen in the WWF" moment on Raw so far. I also think it is interesting that Hogan hasn't been on the show since winning the title, has barely been mentioned, and the KOTR is being pushed as way more important than the title match at KOTR. And the week Bret showed up, Vince said he was the people's champion. I think he felt bad for Bret. Bret was probably sad, staring off into the sunset, thinking about the Daily Show. There wasn't a bunch of stupid bullshit, no terrible topical references, the shitty match was kept very short, the Gunns looked good, a jobber one, and Marty came back to win the title and have a good match.

SEPARATE THE MAN FROM HIS WORK
Tetsuya Naito & Naomichi Marufuji vs KENTA & Masato Tanaka
This match is fucking hype. Naito going for MVP of 2014 with his ring work. If they don't give him the IWGP and turn him heel, they fucked up. Like Hogan stealing Bret's thunder levels of fucked up.

Why speak up if you're not going to say anything? Such a tease.
A payoff for Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 31... that is a really long time to wait. I don't know if the more casual fans will wait that long.

The world could not handle four Vince McMahons. Hell, it can barely handle one.
The best Hulk Hogan match
Paul Orndorff vs Hulk Hogan Cage match - Saturday Night Main Event
I also liked in WWF you could hear people marking for Paul even though he was a heel. Because he was god damn Wonderful.

I hate teases.
"I know something you don't know and I'm not going to tell you!" Then why fucking bring it up in the first place?
Orndorff always seemed like a legitimate total asshole, even when he was a face. And Hogan was a dick head as a face. So in a lot of ways, their matches were heel vs heel matches. And they had good chemistry. They had some really good house show matches there were on the Network and 24/7. Their match at the Big Event was miles ahead of the WM main event.
Orndorff has a shitbag face. He looks like the guy in those MAN BULLYING YOU AT THE BEACH. And from reading his interviews, he is a jerk. But I like that. Need some former wrestlers that aren't jerks because they're bitter or that try to act like everything's cool. Paul just calls em how he sees em. And he makes fun of Kidman, and I like that. Even when he was face, I knew 'this guys a bad guy. They're just fucking with us. He looks like a bad guy.' And they were right. He's also one of the few memorable Hogan feuds because I think Hogan made him look good and Paul made himself look good. WWF never really capitalized on him though.
He also had the greatest entrance in WCW in all of wrestling.
YOU KNOW HE IS SO WONDERFUL! god why doesn't somebody in the WWE use this music

I don't think many complain about Cena as a person. He may have some odd tendencies as seen on Total Divas, but he seems like a good guy in general.
They definitely do. It's not enough to hate him in the ring, people come up with all sorts of BS reasons that Cena is secretly a total scumbag piece of shit.
Probably because David Bowie would sue them. That's a full on rip off of Life on Mars. Not even a Jimmy Hart version. I'm pretty sure that's the straight instrumental version.
That's pretty dope if true. I find it pretty hard to believe though. I can't see Vince hiring all those people, plus choreographers, and all the time put into making sure it was shot right only to cut it for any reason unless they were running way, way long and I can't think of anything that year that possibly could have thrown off the timing bad enough besides Taker/HHH.

Brodus said it in this interview. I doubt Brodus would lie about something like that since it would just get him in trouble.
