Late, breaking news

I love how they did this, how Gene had to come back and tell us immediately, though he was ready to split.

[@garethcullen9604]

This was just amazing. Hyped the match as a major sporting contest. These days are sadly missed in wrestling, and that's not just nostalgia speaking.

[@Therealgeoffchilds]

Bro you hit the ball so way out of the park on this one I used to love wrestling so much. I haven't watched in almost 20 years now

@@Therealgeoffchilds just try watching AEW’s all out ppv from last month. I’m 38 , obviously we don’t get the pops we used to back in the 90’s but there is so much cool stuff happening in pro wrestling these days, including with the likes of NJPW - their way of long term story telling is second to none.

[@wajisaleem]

This was the most important thing in the world when I was a kid. .. Breaking News indeed!

[@alsoknownas875]

The seriousness and gravity with which this was treated is a delight.

[@quentinkaasa47]

Something severely lacking in wrestling today. Especially with AEW.

[@jesseandrews2303]

Attention to detail. Mene Gene doesn't look ready at the beginning. Its the small things

[@SEGAHEADDY]

I would also count the very last second of this vid as a small thing that makes it so great.

[@thecarpenter4]

Gene, make it look late breaking. Take your coat off and look like you’re not ready.

Imagine this interrupting Coronation Street. "We interrupt this programme to bring you breaking news from "Mean Gene."

We have some breaking news from Buckingham Palace. Mean Gene “We have unconfirmed reports that the FBI has challenged Prince Andrew and that Prince Andrew has challenged the FBI back in what would be a career ending match! When we get more news we’ll bring it to you. Now back to Coronation street!” Jimmy Hart: indecipherable

[@MrGeo-EmitFodrol]

Why don't WWE use a modern version of this to move forward feuds. I think the difference is today they feel like kids fighting when back then it felt like men wrestling. It just felt like bigger stakes back then. The world championship back then holds alot more weight than it does today. I love Big E... But he feels like a mid carder not the top guy. Roman feels like the top guy. It has little to do with the both of them and more with how they are booked.
