And that was followed by a cage match between Snow and BBM with the cage surrounded by Pepper’s family (other dogs). Head made a reappearance as Snow used it (her?) to knock out BBM and win the match.
Was that the Kennel from Hell? I remember thinking it was terrible at the time.
It was, especially when some of the dogs crapped inside the cage. I suspect the pooches just had a finely tuned sense of metaphor.
I just rewatched the Kennel from Hell match on youtube. The whole thing was beyond laughable. They “wild, rabid” dogs outside the ring were on leashes the whole time, urinating, defacating and even perhaps mating during the match. The match itself was boring, making for what was among the worst PPV events ever.
- Raven and Terri feed Moppy to the woodchipper
In 2001, Perry Saturn was faced with a choice which every man must face someday. He had to choose between two romantic partners who couldn’t be more different from each other – Terri Runnels (and her sidekicks, Breast Implant One and Breast Implant Two) and his mop girlfriend, Moppy. Shakespeare could only dream of writing a love triangle fraught with such tension. The ever-reliable and inanimate Moppy won the day and Perry’s heart.
Hark! A dastardly plot! Terri and Raven mopnapped Moppy! Raven even provides dialogue for Moppy in the high-pitched voice he imagines a mop to have. He then cruellyfeeds her to a woodchipper before Perry Saturn’s horrified eyes. The best part is that I’m not sure, but I think we’re supposed to accept this as being LEGITIMATE HEAT between Perry and Raven.
The second best part is that Moppy still sells the woodchipper better than Hulk Hogan has sold anything, ever.
Perry Saturn, by the way, saved a woman from gang-rape in 2004, but was shot three times in the neck (amazingly, he didn’t even realize at first that he was shot).During his recovery he became a drug addict and lived on the streets for two years. Finally, he cleaned up, got married, and has recently returned to the ring.
There is nothing that even approaches the WTFedness as the storyline that had Linda McMahon running for US Senate.
The two big winners here, even if they are not part of the OP’s narrative, are the Shockmaster and the Gobbledy Gooker. Pillman’s Got A Gun gets number three.
I remember that kerfuffle. Wasn’t it also that while the real Al Snow is easily contrasted with a mannequin head, the doll Al Snow with a doll head looked like domestic violence? Since he was carrying around a woman’s head?
Wow, Michael Cole looks exactly like David Faustino! :eek:
The reality in wrestling is often more WTF than the storylines.
Saw the above article, thought of this thread. Two great tastes that taste great together!
Also, ** Mississippienne**, you owe us your final two entries. OWE US, I tell ya!
Seriously, don’t leave us hanging. I’ve been enjoying these…
- Robocop rescues Sting
Now you may look at this and think, “Who the hell is this blond guy in Sting makeup?” Before Sting was… well, the classic knockoff of The Crow that we all know and love, Sting was a blond surfer pretty boy who happened to paint his face and wore pink pants to the ring. As you do.
Baddies The Four Horseman lock Sting in a cage and lock it (how do they know his one weakness?!). Robocop – YES, ROBOCOP – makes his way out and tears the cage door off, freeing Sting. Then he and Sting casually stroll off together, and the whole thing is never explained nor mentioned again, in any way, shape or form. What the ever-living fuck!!!
I miss surfer Sting. He was my childhood favorite. I’ve never really cared for crow Sting.
The RoboCop thing was well established on TV as a promotion for the release of RoboCop 2 prior to the event. It was never mentioned again because it was so stupid. It was one of the signs that WCW was giving up on old school wrestling as the WWF (now WWE) had done. Only WCW didn’t really have a plan on where to go next. Vince McMahon was realizing a well formed plan in WWF. WCW was being run by a bunch of independent wrestlers and promoters who thought they could just wing it. If Vince hadn’t become enmired in legal difficulties for a while, WCW never would have been competition for him, and when he got his legal troubles resolved, WCW fell in short order.
ETA: I should say WCW was bought by Vince in short order, and at a highly discounted price because he had driven them to the brink of bankruptcy.
The Road Warriors were one of the greatest tag teams in history. They were two huge steroid freaks who came out wearing spiked shoulder pads to “Iron Man” and destroyed their opponents. They were crazy over and dominated every territory they were sent to. When they went to the WWF they changed their name to the Legion of Doom won the world titles. They were beaten by Money Inc for the titles and decided they needed an extra edge. They decided to bring back their old manager Paul Ellering. Ellering decides there is something missing from the Legion of Doom and after searching all around Chicago finds it in a dump. It is a ventriliquist dummy named Rocco who bears a stricking resemblance to a biker Eric Bischoff. This is succesful and they beat Money Inc at the next PPV.
