Title: WWE 24/7: Animals and Crap (April 2008)

Sort of a weak theme this month with "wild kingdom". No doubt they'll air the July 1990 SNME with Alfred Hayes and Gene Okerlund in search of "wildlife" at a zoo (but running into Akeem & the Slickster). Most of the shorites and what not appear to be from the 1985-1991 era.
I saw that Prime Time returned, last week, still in the same order. I'm recording "Armageddon 2007" right now, but not watching it. Probably a waste of a DVD.

Honestly, Armageddon was surprisingly decent.

I watched the two main events and wasn't pleased. JBL interferring in Jericho's match would have worked....if he didn't have to wait FIVE MINUTES to retaliate. I thought the timing on JBL's run-in was incredibly crappy.

By the way I might have just noticed the funniest thing ever.
Watch the TNT that's on there right now. There's an "It's Your Life" for Nikoli Volkoff. At the end watch Blassie closely as he fondles a boob. I almost shit myself when I noticed that.

The current World Championship Wrestling episode was great. Pez Whatley gives a great interview and an awesome moment with Ric Flair as he presents Ricky Morton with a bra and then gets the shit beaten out of him.

Darnit. I missed the Blassie Boob Spot. Musta' been when he was grabbing Nikolai's "girlfriend", Magda, right? Kidna' creepy, anyways... as he pulls her off of Niklolai and plants a smooch or two on her. She looks up: "WHO is doing that?"!
Another hilarious spot during WresteWar '90. At the beginning of the Norman/Cactus Jack match, Norman throws some stuffed animals into the crowd. A full grown redneck, probably about 25 or so, GRABS the giant stuffed teddy bear, then celebrates as if he just snagged a homerun ball from Mickey Mantle. "Sweet! I gots me a teddy bear!! Fuck yeah!!"
Thanks for the heads up on the NWA Ricky Morton training bra segment! I've been wanting to record that for awhile, now. I thought I had missed it, since I don't watch the NWA shows that much.

Exactly. Funniest thing I've seen on TNT in awhile.
Something I never realized about TNT until I started watching it on 24/7. I had no idea the show got as rauchy as it did.

That Pez Whatley stuff is kinda' interesting. It's obvious that Pez is torqued off about being singled out as being a "black athlete", yet Boogie Woogie's follow-up "apology" promo is completely ignorant of that point. BoogWoog's all: "hey man, if you have some mental problems, just come to me and we can work it out".
Oh, and Pez ends his promo with something like: "now dig that, sucka!"
Oh part 2: who the HELL was that Joe "Nighthawk" Coltrane guy? From his lame promo, it's easy to see why he never went on to bigger n' better things. I actually think that's a rather cool ring name (even if it does remind you of the malt liquor), but the guy had no charisma.

I also like how you could see they were planning to start pushing Ray Traylor by having him really push Ivan Koloff in their match.

Got a chance to watch and recap World Class, last night.
Look for:
--"The Texan", a masked wrestler. I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure this was none other than Jake Roberts! He has the build and the moustache. The way he delivers a kneelift, then hops on all fours and beckons Bill Irwin to attack him... I'll be damned if it isn't Jake. He's also wearing loose baggy pants, like Jake did at that time. I think Jake had just finished up his GCW program with Ronnie Garvin, so it'd fit the time frame.
--Hilarious interview at the end. Jimmy Garvin claims that his brainbuster finisher isn't a brainbuster at all. It's simply "Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin's Bombs Away". He's such an easy-to-hate clown.
