WWF In Your House 12 (It's Time) - The "Reliving The War" PPV Review

Luckily he has a good run in Japan after he leaves the fed. WWF really didn’t understand that changing dudes names did nothing but hurt their recognition.

[@glamgal7106]

I agree with you on that...also so was Leif Cassidy a.k.a. Al Snow. Also his teaming with Marty Jannetty as the New Rockers was promoted so poorly--they were definitely more skilled in the ring but the geek image was totally wrong for them.

“You don’t have to watch Reliving the War” to follow what’s going on here…” You got that right. I’ve been watching Reliving… and pitting two charisma black holes against each other wasn’t the best idea. Brett “I have one good line and that’s all I’ll ever say because it’s the best line there is, ever was, and ever will be!” [Unfortunately Sid had a softball game so couldn’t be reached for a post-match interview.] “Davey tends to save [chin locks] for his singles matches.” Obviously. No need to rest on the floor after two minutes of work when you can just tag someone else in. “Save me Owen! The buzz is wearing off!” “Sid says Sean shouldn’t have stuck his nose in Sid’s business.” So Sid’s going to stick his nose into Sean’s business. And become completely animated as a result! “It looks like ‘Taker’s given up on the leather.” He was working in West Palm Beach! He’d have been an ungrippable sweaty mess had he tried to wear it!
