[@Dynaman21]

First Raw - Yokozuna vs Koko B Ware First Nitro - Jushin Thunder Liger vs Brian Pillman. Wow did the tables turn because at the start, yeah, Nitro wins.

[@FoxInferno13]

Liger vs Pillman is soooooo good, too.

[@BigK13372]

Really does symbolize how the companies went. Nitro starts off hot but than quickly fades aways. Raw starts off slow but than slowly builds up into something amazing . . . and then slowly breaks apart after it reached its climax (but its still making shit loads of money).

[@DrJReefer]

BigK13372 More so than you think. Liger vs Pillman was a great match. But it had already been done repeatedly and better before then. Nitro in a nutshell.

Maybe I’m in the minority on this, but I really like Vince on commentary. During this broadcast, I was 10 years old, eating up Razor Ramon and all the gimmicks. So I grew up loving McMahon as the commentator, and not as his evil CEO character.

[@jigsawkid95]

They're important in the fact that if the viewership is down it's a strong indication the show sucks, and that's kinda important

There's something so unimaginably tragic about the death of any child especially when they're so young and haven't really had the chance to experience the joys of life.

What happened to Rob? In 2011, Bartlett starred on broadway in ‘How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying’ alongside Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe. Bartlett played the dual roles of ‘Twimble’ and ‘Wally Womper’. More recently, Bartlett has appeared in the hit CBS drama ‘The Good Wife’. He lives on Long Island with his wife Sharon and their four sons. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?

He tweeted an old pic of him w/ Vince & Weasel laughing at himself, so thats cool he has a sense of humor about WWF

OOC's 80s Vince sounds like a vacuum starting up. So, bang on well done.

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

26:20 The reason the Steiners looked so good was because they Legitimately brutalized thei fellow workers. WWF wouldn't let them do this, so their WWF matches were lacking compared to their WCW work.

[@DjClayface]

39:03 - That guy with glasses in the ICO PRO shirt, I've seen him in numerous WWF live events, he was at ECW one night stand and saw him in some TNA shows too. The guy sure loves wrestling. (Ok you guys pointed him out at 50:34, nice)

Here is my boy list in memory of Matthew R.I.P 1.Billy Gunn 2."The Model" Rick Martel 3.Paul Roma 4."Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright 5.The Smoking Gunns (I know it's a tag team, but I'm just a huge Billy Gunn mark.)

smashed pumpkin Knacker is British slang for a testicle. "Kick him in the knackers", for example.

One of the best bits of the second Raw is when Vince calls that Perfect knee move on Rooster, "Ring-a-ding"! Love him making up move names because he's clueless! Funny looking back how Superstars was still WWF's top show for a few years before Raw really caught on.

Poor Michael Cole. What would he have been like without constant Vince in his ear? We may never know. For all we know he could make Mauro Ranallo look like Mark Madden by comparison. (But I seriously doubt it.)

[@tyratooOP]

QuicklimeTime EX Cole on his own has made pretty great calls and in interviews when he is alone with no one in his ear he is pretty great and knows what he is talking about. The guy seems like a shit head but only because that is how he is portrayed in the company

"Hey listen, fuckhead..."

[@bobsnubbert9612]

I loved his reaction when the Hardyz came back last year.

[@PatrickKetza]

Pretty sure Cole didn't have Vince in his ear for the first UKCT and Beast in the East, and he was pretty damn good. On his own, he sounds like he actually gives a damn.

Scott Hall is actually 6'7" but you wouldn't know it because he is mostly remembered standing next to Kevin Nash.

[@madamefeast4824]

His billed height was 6'7. Scott Hall was legit 6'5 in his prime. Mr Perfect, his old tag partner before WWF was billed as 6'3 he was around 6'1.. I mean they billed Triple H as 6'4 originally lol. He was maybe 6'1. They still do that today but not as bad as back in the day. Like when a guy like Adam Cole is billed as 6 foot and he stands next to Pat McAfee who is legit 6'1, yet is obviously at least 3-4 inches taller than Cole. It's very rare billed heights are even close. Billy Gunn is a legit one, being billed at 6'3 and actually being that. Going to alot of shows growing up and seeing these guys walk by being billed as 6'4 and they walk past me and my dad and are barely taller lol.

31:28 - Look at Mackman's instant kayfabe break with the "what are you doing, I'll fire your ass!" expression and watch as it changes to the "Oh, I get it! We're doing an acting!" face. He looks like he just solved a math problem. Then there's a little bit of the "Okay fucker, you get a pass but watch yourself" with the head nod as the camera pans away. Sometimes being very expressive in wrestling isn't always a good thing.

[@Michael-oe7wg]

I just want you guys to know, 3 years later, this is now my preferred way to watch wrestling.

[@Harry_Howler]

I can imagine McMahon listening to Rob Bartlett's radio show prior to hiring him and doing his "HA HA HA" Vince laugh, looking over to all of his yes-men going "This GUY sure is funny, isn't he?" with them forcing a fake laugh & weakly answering back, "Yes sir, Vince.

LOL to that thumbnail, I remember buying WWE magazine that covered the 1st Raw with pics of Todd Pettengill & Bobby Hennan trying to get in.

[@benjiman221]

Japan not only has dozens of special varieties of KitKat, but regional specials as well! For example, you can get citrus fruit flavoured KitKats in the Hiroshima area. When I was living there for a year, as I would travel, I would buy the weird KitKat flavours and send them back to my family to try. The chilli flavour KitKats didnt go down so well, haha...
