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

    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....
