I'm trying to figure out which development made
me want to enter the Keith Moon
Memorial Television Toss over the past week: Hearing the Buzzcocks'
"What Do I Get?" being used in a commercial for a SUV, or Kevin Nash
losing the loser-must-retire match at Road Wild. While I wait for the
judge's decision on how the pitch of a 20" Panasonic
stereo TV/VCR combo from my second story den window qualifies me for the finals,
I'll instead offer some random thoughts on some of the developments in the PPV
(which, true to all the WCW PPVs over the past year, swallowed) and a few other
non-Road Wild items.
First thing out of the box: Apparently, even though he denies being a WCW shill, Bob Ryder has apparently worked the fans on behalf of the powers over at One CNN Center once again. Just when we thought Hogan was going to do the right thing and hang up the tights once and for all, instead we get Hogan's ego wiping out all common sense once again, even with the supposed swing vote of Hogan's bad knee. Apparently, WCW are now trying to act like the past four years of wrestling have not even happened...
Quick Aside Department: All talk by Eric Bischoff, Sting, etc. about WCW being family entertainment is irrelevant unless they can get Rick Steiner to stop flipping off the audience and grabbing his dick on camera in the middle of a match, and can get Randy Savage and Dennis Rodman to stop calling each other "bitch" and "pussy" every other word.
And my final observation on Road Wild: I was wondering if/when the Savage/Rodman match was going to be "the shits", but I don't think dumping Rodman into a job johnny and then tipping it over and allowing the authentic contents of same to seep out was what I had in mind.
In another WCW development -- Apparently The Minister Of Silly Walks (i.e. Ric Flair) wants to leave his post because doesn't want to give Shane Douglas the government grant he needs to develop his own Silly Walk. Which is a shame, though, because unlike Flair, Douglas can still Silly Walk with the best of them. Perhaps after Flair is free from the Ministry Of Silly Walks proper, he can train his son David for the 156th Upper-Class Twit Of The Year Contest. (David should be a shoo-in for "Shooting Yourself In The Head" -- all he'd have to do is take his father's methods for "Shooting Yourself In The Foot", and turn the directions around...)
Other observations:
