Keep the clips coming guys, you're bringing back so much nostalgia!

I was a huge, and I do mean HUGE WWF fan but when McMahon merged both organizations it was the beginning of the end of the good old days. I had such a major crush on The Undertaker. Coming from a religious family I actually use to pray for him that he would change his satanist ways and the lord would save his soul :lol:

Rocky and Austin did so much for WWF. They were larger than life in their heyday and they singlehandedly brought WWF into mainstream phenomenon.

I was hooked on WWF with the Nataion of Domination and been a fan ever since. I was really dismayed to hear about the deaths of the wrestlers and the death of Owen Hart and all the legalities that ensued was a real tear jerker. How Bret could return to the WWF is beyond me.

I also had a huge crush on HHH and still do! The tri between him, Steph and Kurt Angle was hilarious. "It's true, oh It's true!"

Mandkind's alter ego "Dude Love" was also funny.

I loved the storyline between Kane, The Undertaker, their parents and Paul the caretaker. Every time They played Undertaker's intro music and he came out in a casket I got goosebumps. The purple smoke, the darkness, his followers... chills! There was a period where they take 'Taker's occult too far and he was no longer entertaining he was just downright creepy but I still loved him.

There was also a period where Stone Cold turned heel and he was McMahon's yes man. I swear Steve Austin literally pissed off McMahon behind the scenes to give him that storyline. Being a fan of Austin it was so degrading but he took it all in stride especially when he would sing offbeat tunes on his little guitar.

Sigh! The good old days

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Vince McMahon is the best rivalry in SOAP OPERA history!

Dude Love was amazing. It's too bad he didn't last that long. I hated when Foley returned as himself. It was just never the same. I especially hated the Mick Foley/The Rock friendship. How incredibly lame.

It really is sad and tragic how many wrestlers have died at such young ages. There are some great tributes on YouTube.

AllmyDaysatGH, Vince was such a smug son of a bitch he was da man! I remembered when he spat in someone's face that his fortitude was the size of grapefruits and I busted a gut. I never knew how buff the dude was until he was a special guest referee and he wore a sleeveles referee shirt that showed off his biceps.

The crowd chanting "slut!" every time Stephanie came out was hilarious. Jericho making fun of her breast implants was also funny.

Vince and Shane's intro music was always tight and fit with their personas.

I know know who Vince Jr reminds me of - Trump Jr! Both are entitled greasy little pricks. :lol:

I used to assume everythign was fake and was so shocked to find out that Triple H and Stephanie were married in real life. Anyways, was I the only one that loved her with Test? I wanted them to get back together

I LOVED when Stephanie slapped her mother

BTW, Mickie James was FANTASTIC as the psycho fan stalker of Trish Stratus. I had dropped WWE for years only to tune in on a fluke and was riveted by that storyline.

Who was stalking Undertaker's wife was also a good storyline. They should have never made it DDP. UGH! But Taker becoming the American Bad Ass was a good persona for him. Austin had his funny moments during the heel period

    • Per Flixpatrol, it's been at 4-4-5 (June 3rd to 5th).   https://flixpatrol.com/title/days-of-our-lives/
    • Someone has been posted episodes from 1994 and Jill Powell (Marcy Lafferty) has a hot storyline right now. Just googled her and in real-life she is now openly out as a Lesbian with a transgender son. 
    • Did anyone else notice that DAYS has not been in the Top 10 most streamed shows on Peacock this week??? I find that very strange considering how good the show has been, especially this week.
    • Cast changes in 2025 (so far, not much has happened): GZSZ Pauline Afaja (Flo Kästner) departed on March 10th, 2025. She had only been on the show for about a year. Flo as a character never really clicked with the audience. Her final storyline involved her catching feelings for the much older Nina Reichelt Klee Ahrens Navarro out of the blue – while she was in a relationship with the wheelchair-bound Jonas Seefeld. Onno Buß joined the cast as Julian Kaltenbach on January 31st, 2025. Julian is Matilda's twin brother ... and another illegitimate child of Jo Gerner. Charlott Reschke, who had played Johanna Flemming on a recurring basis from 2015 to 2024, returned at the end of May. The 20-year old actress has now been placed on contract. Last week on GZSZ:

    • From PKWaddle, ex-soap journo & fan & one known only to give good intel, in a post on my FB soap group: #1 Peacock shows 10 of the past 12 weeks DAYS in their TOP 3. #2 DAYS is now more ahead, currently at 10 months & 1 week.
    • Just a little nod, Today would've been Bill Hayes 100th Birthday! He was almost the first Centenarian On A Soap
    • Kevin Kline's description of soap fans makes me laugh.

    • Not to ramble too far off topic but it happens a lot with comics too, especially only wanting to keep cheap talent around and pushing out creative voices. There are some patches where creatives can go to start their own worlds...wish that was true with soaps, but who knows, maybe it can happen someday. I never thought we'd get a new soap this year.
    • Very true & also at least in the case of stand-out HWs, it is fraught with exhaustion & burnout.
