Wait…what just happened here? This hasn't devolved to name calling and SWAT-ing yet?

Lydian Minor or GTFO

That song/episode of FOTC is the best. Probably one of the greatest tributes ever to David Bowie.

No, they didn't unfortunately. I stopped paying attention myself a long time ago, but if my memory serves me, the evidence was pretty much in the open that HHH was kind of burying everyone else.

It's pretty great, in a horrible sort of way. Google Kane Christmas Creature and then wince.

It's worth it to seek out HHH's two part interview on Chris Jericho's podcast. For one, it actually makes him come off like a nice dude, and not the "bury everyone else because I'm Vince's son in law" asshole he's made out to be by the smarks. And two, he tells the story of the french gimmick. Apparently it was kind

WWF Human Resources/Payroll Departments must have been a shit show in the late-80's and early 90's with all the guys on the roster from "Parts Unknown".

Yup. I was working in the area when it happened. A glorious shitshow.

Man O War was ECW mid-carder Justin Credible, IIRC.

I remember that being a thing for awhile, too, where the non-WWF stuff was on around dinner time, and the gap between that and the morning WWF was filled with horror movies and sci fi and stuff like that. USA Network was pretty whacky for a time.

This. Is. Mind. Blowing.

As much as I've never been much of a Hogan mark, his NWO heel turn is one of the best turns ever. Especially because he started working the old school heel style of backing off, and begging for mercy before dishing out the low blows. No one was doing that…especially not Hall and Nash.

Man, I loved that angle. MiniDust was amazing and the look on Booker's face the whole time was comedy gold (pun intended).

There was something oddly comforting to know that, after all those years, there are holes that not even Hulk Hogan can dig you out of.

Good times. I was working in the area when it happened. What a hilarious shit show, made more hilarious to me and a few friends at work who were (until that moment) unaware that ol Beefcake was working for the T.

I've seen it, and I was a big fan of his appearance on Chris Jericho's podcast. It's a great interview. I think in the case of my interaction with him, it was at an event my company was throwing, and he was more interested in totally creeping out my female co-workers than being nice to a genuine fan.

But those 10 or 12 songs are pretty great!

I love Ben Shepherd's writing in Soundgarden. Always a little off in a cool way. "Head Down" is just amazing.

Leave it Kim Thayil to not only write a total clunker, but to write it in 9/8. That waskaly wabbit.

Still one of my most absolute favorite things SG has ever done. They set the controls to kill on those covers.
