The same reason Jerry Lawler still does: people love nostalgia.

 

[Lee]

I can't imagine there's much nostalgia for Jimmy Valiant tbh.

 

[justinsayne]

Who the fuck is Jimmy Valiant?

 

[klunderbunker]

A guy older than Vince who was a big star back in the 60s and had a big run in Memphis.

 

[Lee]

He's 73.

 

[justinsayne]

He's 73.

Why the hell is he still wrestling?! Nobody wants to see a 73 yr. old man wrestle!

 

[klunderbunker]

Bob Armstrong is 76 and still wrestles occasionally.

On another note your website doesn't have Slamboree 1995/6 but you reviewed it here.

Yeah there's a ton of stuff I haven't put up on the site. I keep them handy in case I need to put something up and don't have time to do anything.

He was the Handsome Boogie Woogie Man!

Is there dialogue to this video, or just music?

 

[klunderbunker]

Music with lyrics.

 

[Cena Is A Punk Rocker]

Browns/Ravens tonight. Should we presume a rise in Raw ratings this week?

 

[klunderbunker]

If not, they're in major trouble.

 

[Cena Is A Punk Rocker]

I'll have nothing to change to channel to if Raw goes tits up tonight.

Do you think the WWE's League of Nations will be more or less useless than the IRL League of Nations?

 

[klunderbunker]

Slightly more, assuming New Day is around most of the time.

So the Mania card is Looking to be extremely weak, especially for a show which WWE was hoping to have a record breaking/setting crowd for. What are they going to book for that show and what should they book for that show to attract said record crowd?

I want to get your opinion on 2 WWF gimmicks during the cartoon-ish era.

Papa Shango: Did you enjoy anything he did, or was the gimmick too over the top? In my opinion, the feud he had with Warrior was lol/cringe-worthy! How long did his gimmick last before he was repackaged as Kama?

Nailz: I just don't get it I know Vince saw money in a Bossman/Nailz feud, but the payoff was pretty meh. What was the deal with Nailz leaving WWF, as I've heard a couple different stories? I've heard he was fired due to assaulting Vince backstage, and I've also heard he quit due to being forced to take steroids. Not sure if either story is truthful, but I think I remember Nailz was one of the guys who testified against Vince in the steroid trial.

I'm thinking the answer to both is Cena vs. Undertaker. That's going to draw no matter what.

I was TERRIFIED of Shango as a kid so the gimmick worked on that front.

It was a combination of both of those things. The testimony basically saved Vince as Nailz sounded insane on the stand.

Is Sting going to win a big match anytime in the WWE?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not likely n.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

New Day at Mania: are they getting a major spotlight or shafted into a battle royal or multi-man tag match scenario?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably multi-man tag.

IDK, if they put him in a feud with Bray, I could see him winning that seeing as how they love to have Bray lose to everyone.

Did Chris Benoit ever have a one on one match with Shawn Michaels?
