WM VIII: The Art Of Staggering A Show Properly

-You know the usual. Let’s go back to April 5, 1992 to the jam packed Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis. This was less than 24 hours after Indiana had been bounced out of the Men’s Final Four by Duke, proving that this isn’t the first time that the Hoosier State has been close to a title and fallen short.

Except in 1992, there was no Peyton Manning to yell at his teammates to do exactly as he says, only to throw a lousy interception to a dude who shaves pictures into his hair. Peyton’s like a stuck up prep in some college comedy about slobs vs. snobs. If Super Bowl XLIV was just such a movie, then it would have ended with Peyton Manning getting crushed by a giant keg falling out of an airplane.

-This show is important as it was meant to be the last hurrah for Hulk Hogan, who was going to detoxify—er, retire after this show. As his going away gift, he gets to try and carry Sid Justice to a watchable match. Remind me to never leave WWE. Vince might give me a Corvette with no brakes.

-The show begins with a typical, raspy Vince dub job. Vince missed his calling as the emcee on The Price is Right. “GREG LARSEN, COME ON DDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWN-AHH”.

-Also of note, Ric Flair has promised to show some revealing photos of Miss Elizabeth, should he defeat Randy Savage. Bobby Heenan spends the entire welcoming segment searching for them as Gorilla Monsoon berates him. If you’re ever going to a singles bar, leave Monsoon behind. Sounds like the opposite of a wing man, whatever that may be (Broken-wing-man? Buzzkill? Social malaria?)
