RAWs in Pittsburgh next week? I didn't hear a single thing about it.

I don't remember even hearing advertisements for it or any stations giving away tickets.

RIP King Kong Bundy

Undertaker's 4th WM opponent during his streak.

here's a weird overlap of careers in WWF: King Kong Bundy vs Jeff Hardy (11/9/1994) with Gorilla Monsoon and Ted DiBiase on commentary.

That's a great pull. I always forget how early Jeff Hardy started.

King Kong Bundy was in the WWF in 1994???

He was part of Million Dollar Man's stable and the most notable thing he did during that time was his feud with the Undertaker. I believe they had a match a Mania 11.

Hogan defeated Bundy at Wrestlemania 2 in 1986.

Wasn't Jeff Hardy probably underage when he started? I think he was 17 and lied about his age.

Well damn.

Once Andre gets done with that turkey, what's everyone else eating?

That is incredibly sad.

Mr. Perfect in the hands of Curt Hennig is the greatest gimmick of all time.

Change my mind.

There is no box of gimmicks.

I was wondering why Hacksaw Jim Duggan was shown as being dead and part of The Heenan Family, then realized that it was Big John Studd.

Ha! That was my first thought.

So much better than the dead fish of this era.

Change my mind.

His over-selling doesn't go directly to the gimmick imo, and just because the guy knew how to feed the face better most anyone ever, doesn't detract from everything else, from the two-tone singlet, to the towel throws, the gum slap, the upturned hand pose, the reactions to the crowd touching him, the vignettes, etc etc.

Bret Hart vs Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam 91 is an all time classic match and Mr. Perfect had a messed up back going into that match. Just great stuff.

I wasn't trying to change your mind. It was more a tribute to Mr. Hennig

Oh it's great but I **** hate Coach. The original Coach I mean. Perfect with Heenan was great. Perfect with Coach was baaaad.

That's what happens when you get hit with a Texas Tornado.
