Ric Flair returned to WCW after his first run in the WWF and TBS programming executives gave him a talk show, A Flair For The Gold. This show even featured The Nature Boy’s maid, Fifi! Flair was reassembling his NWA faction of troublemakers, The Four Horsemen, and used the forum to introduce the newest member to join him , Arn Anderson, and Ole Anderson on the team.
Unfortunately, he chose former WWF mid-carder, Paul Roma. The audience reacts in a predictable fashion. This is just one of those things that never should have happened.
Vince McMahon’s WWF ran into a bit of a bump when allegations of gay sexual harassment, rampant drug use, and more converged in 1992. Watch Vince and friends visit Donahue for a hard-hitting episode, brother!
Though I really enjoyed Spider-Man (2002), that partcular depiction of The Green Goblin left me wanting a bit more. The acting was fine, I just didn’t care for the visual.
Well, here’s some abandoned makeup designs for The Green Goblin. I really like the look, and I wished they would have used it.
Probably one of the funniest bits to ever air on television, Zoo Animals On Wheels is central to an episode of Chris Elliott’s wonderful series Get A Life. Enjoy!
Here’s the first segment for the American Wrestling Association’s All-Star Wrestling program on January 1, 1984. The show opens with a squash match featuring Jumping Jim Brunzel, but the best part is the promo before the episode starts hosted by Gene Okerlund.
Gene starts by interviewing Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura, and segues to an astonishing feat of martial arts by Mr Saito. This is exactly the type of raw interview and spontaneous atmosphere that modern wrestling is missing. Then Gene closes out with some comments by promoter Vere Gagne, where he tries to explain why his promotion is losing a lot of talent during this difficult time.
