I lived for SNME as a kid. Like I planned my whole week around it as a kid when I saw the advertisement or read about it in TV Guide. Magical to say the least. I feel bad for my son as he will never understand how magical it was to be a kid in the 1980s / 90s.

[@tomservo4299]

@Old Age ill agree on mid 90s......as for late 90s im assuming you were not watching by that point bc saying 97 to 2000 wwe wasn't great is crazy. It was infact effing great.

[@tomservo4299]

@Old Age Britney was over tho....i was a fan of hers not her music but a fan for sure

[@warshipsatin8764]

your parents thought the same thing about the generation they grew up in and your son will likely feel the same way about his

[@DarkPark]

Tugboat actually debuted on TV as "Tugboat Thomas". I think the "Thomas" was dropped after a few weeks.

[@Rando1975]

Yes, I wasn't imagining that!

[@tomseville1057]

There was an old-time "wrassler" called Tugboat Taylor, I think it was too similar to that...

[@flamethrowerflufsalisbury]

Bruce is right about how nice Fred Ottman is. We're friends on FB, & if he's not talking about how much he loves his wife, he's showing love to his fans & fellow wrestlers

[@Rando1975]

I don't know Fred, but that's one thing I hear about him all the time that he's an incredibly nice guy.

Favorite episode of mine keep up the good work fellas and thank u

I thought that Slaughter promo was mint, excellent stuff.

I actually have a note from Sarge that he wrote me when my uncle met him.

Hey Bruce actually sounds awake and like he got a bit of rest..kind of refreshing to hear :)

[@mr2talentediwlgdom364]

Gotta love the 30mg adderral time release rx Brucie with his adhd plus working 25 hrs a day is why he is still going consistently with Vince’s lovely schedule lol

[@king425onlyforrest7]

Its a work lol just kidding I work 90hrs a week sometimes and can relate

@@mr2talentediwlgdom364 how the hell do you know he takes those?!? Its basically speed, adult ADHD is basically non existent. I had the WORST ADD when I was a kid, it goes away when you get older. Its basically legal dope.

[@michaelgreen1853]

I enjoy listening to this podcast.

[@uc95nu51]

Im gonna do this watch along while driving my semi tractor trailer. Got my doritos on my dash and pizza from the Flying J on the seat. Oh yeah got my 100oz oversize load mug next to me filled with sweet pop.

If Brother Love does the Tugboat gimmick, will he be called Loveboat?

[@SuperTicklemonsters]

That's a missed gimmick opportunity right there

[@ymca4547]

Well ye know

[@fishhookism]

And if he retired and came back would it be the Loveboat making another run?

[@lalomontoyajr.9282]

I never thought that Demolition was a copy of The Road Warriors. They didn't even look the same.

[@thelegendarydowntowntonybr2598]

it was kinda in the way that McDowell's is not like McDonald's, lol... the makeup style was different, they wore smaller spikes on their attire as opposed to the bigger spikes on the Road Warriors... there were differences, but once Vince got the LOD, he dropped Demolition pretty fast

[@lalomontoyajr.9282]

@@thelegendarydowntowntonybr2598 Ya it sux because Demolition was awesome! They could of gone till 1993 but Vince for some reason gave up on them. When they had Crush they should of ran with The Freebird's rule. That would of helped giving them at least a little bit of longevity.

[@pikkon899]

"I don't see that as a burial at all" Nor do I. How did that bury Brother Love? He wasn't Taker's manager anymore but he still had plenty of heat after this.

[@josephboza7448]

It was a nice surprise that this was a watch along. I didnt think it was in Macon, Georgia where this happened. The only breason I remember Macon was the December to Dismember PPV in 06 that sucked. Meltzer wouldnt know his ass from a whole in the head when he talked about Bruce steeping down as manager of the Undertaker. This episode was a perfect wrap of Royal Rumble 91. I couldnt believe Slaughter beat Warrior. The WWF Championship would have been more useful in the Warrior Macho King feud.

[@butch5419]

Warrior-Macho and Hogan-Perfect woulda been a nice double main event… I think it woulda sold better too… no disrespect to Sarge, he’s an OG, top notch vet..

[@josephboza7448]

@@butch5419 It was clear they went in the direction they did cause Vince didnt want a Warrior-Hogan 2 at Wrestlemania 7

[@jrblanton8264]

Show starts at 2:22. Watch Along starts at 37:33.

[@adamdolatowski409]

Agree with Bruce god bless should be how lucky life and beautiful america makes me sad now

[@chrishh5777]

I'm pretty sure the segment that was called a "burial" by Dave Meltzer was Ultimate Warrior's attack on Brother Love, which happened at the same taping as Paul Bearer's debut.

[@megataz1982]

The Vince impersonation was the best what time was it clock on. I need to hear it again.

[@henrikschmidt3964]

Demolition was not a rip-off, they were ripped off! When Legion of Doom came in, they were tossed aside like nothing. (Allegedly, Animal called an audible at SummerSlam 92 to not do the doomday device finisher. Because he figured Hawk was too messed up to execute it safely.)

[@FIREBALLER100]

Who was around first ? (and I don't mean in WWF)

[@michaelkaminski84]

Legion of Doom had been The Road Warriors for years before they joined WWF, one of the most popular tag teams of the 1980s, Demolition was created as a WWF version of them, but then the actual Road Warriors came to WWF as Legion of Doom so Demolition no longer had a purpose.

[@butch5419]

Great promo by Slaughter

[@Super122291]

😒😒

[@tomseville1057]

Did they mistake the Warrior beating at this taping for the Bearer debut? There was no burial on Bruce for Brother Love handing off the Taker's career to Paul willingly. And that was only so Bruce could take a booking role backstage, his firing soon afterwards was for unrelated issues...

[@tomseville1057]

I know "The Sexy Bitch" was Vince's yacht, but i'm pretty sure it was used as a "Tugboat". That's not champagne foam on the deck...

[@eightreasons566]

Good bounce back show for Bruce here lol

[@kestrel1234]

If Conrad wants to ask foolish and leading questions after 5 years....

[@patrickruth153]

The network under snme 1991. Took me a while to find it

[@tomseville1057]

Yeah, "The Main Event" specials are listed as SNMEs. They were all intended (with the exception of the Hogan-Andre rematch in 88 which was live) to air on Saturday, but NBC told them days earlier, after the shows were taped, that they were on Fridays. The problem with day-specific show titles...

[@chrishh5777]

@@tomseville1057 The 1989 (Mega Powers vs. Twin Towers) and 1990 (Hogan vs. Savage) editions were live, too. The 1991 show wasn't, but as far as I know, it was planned to be a Main Event and not a SNME in advance.

[@mr.perksy]

And the Nov 1990 Friday night main event was originally supposed to be a Saturday nights main event with Warrior vs Savage in a cage and the Rockers beating the Harts for the tag titles. Instead we got a Friday night special with no tag titles (the match when the ropes broke, but also Anvil resigned). We got Warrior vs Dibiase instead.

[@matrpierce4929]

Wasn't it tugboat Taylor? Or is that from some twisted dream I had

[@jrtjonathanwinchell3955]

This maybe Conrad show but he doesn't answer Bruce Prichard question and changes the subject. Its interesting to me both Bruce Prichard and Eric Bischoff doesn't like Meltzer but Conrad does. What is that all about?

Lmao well played sir 🤣👍

[@patrickruth153]

Slaughter chair shots looked weak

[@IanVersusDaddybones]

I think Conrad is reaching too hard with the come on man when talking about Meltzer saying the burial of Percy Pringle. It was successful. I'm pretty sure he said the same thing and 95 that they're burying Dustin Rhodes with the Goldust character but like Paul Bearer it lasted for years and was quite successful and it was not a burial.

[@doctornowzaradan771]

19 ads lool

Adblockers LOL

[@smitsta]

Hate to say it, but this show has lost it. Bruce just doesnt have the passion for it anymore. Just like in wrestling, its time to put another podcast over on the way out.

[@smitsta]

@Vincent Verona they make it sound like doing the podcast is a chore for them. They used to be full of enthusiasm

[@dadncaleb]

I love how Bruce hates to agree with anything even semi negative or that could even be construed as negative. Funny and predictable.
