This was a cool moment and I think Nick has talked about this several times. They go over this towards the end of the Doc.



Just went to Nick Khan's wiki page. Even wilder than this is he was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune in 2000 and won over $16,000 which funded his law degree.

wm 10s payoff was a much sweeter moment than 9 coulda been. Bret has sour ass grapes man.

Yoko was new. Bret was green champ. No old headliners like piper macho warrior andre. He couldnt sell the tiks. It was a much better payoff beung crowned champ where the wwe fans pickef him over lex. He brought his brother into it and had a 5 micer at same tjme. Cmon bret. Thats the biz.

Lookin forward just because wwe rarely goes over where things went wrong.

Wm9 is classic for diff reasons tho

The star power alone as every one of them guys basically made a name for themselves down the line. Wm9 was like bret, shawn, razor, lex and even takers true debut as top tier guys and not just debuting stars or transitioning from midcard. Taker just started running after big fueds with jake warrior hogan etc but now he had to hold the weight himself against giant gonzalez. Its an interesting show. Transitional

It was a mess but it still holds good memories for me.


:dahell:

Luger was already a top tier guy for years before he came to the WWF.

Are we buying the jetski story then? Why would they have waited 30 years to clear those rumours up?! :dahell:

What more needs to be said about this? JR first show and he’s in a toga. Hogan got into an accident or got fukked up. Taker and Gonzalez had an all time WOAT. Hogan backdoored his way to the title. Not a single redeemable match worth rewatching on this card. That covers everything right?

Bret already lying 5 minutes in

Bret, shawn & taker were not carrying the load in '92.

92 was mostly about Flair, Savage & warrior

Steiners/headshrinkers but that was an old NWA/WCW match, so they're not gonna give them that much props.

Shawn/Tatanka was good.

This was actually pretty interesting only because there's not much backstage footage of stuff from that era or earlier. Otherwise, it was normal WWE self-aggrandizing bullshyt, and I say this as a long-time defender of WM 9.

Couple of things stand out.

1. HBK wondering who the fukk approved the underneath shot with nuts being the main focus of the shot :mjlol:

2. Papa Shango walking around in the back with a straight up full blast SS vest :damn:

3. Bret being Bret and burying Hogan (deserved, of course) and how funny it was later in WCW how often he had to work with Hogan and put him over as the GOAT.

4. Lex Luger post spinal stroke is such a different dude and I don't think I've ever seen a person get into Christianity later in life that actually seems to live the principles.

Watching this right now. This was the time I was watching wrestling on a weekly basis between this and WCW at 7/8 years old.

Side note: Kofi with the Abe Lincoln beard is hilarious. They should turn him into a Nigerian scammer

Agreed. As a kid and mark creatively I understand how weak the outcome of WM9 was. But they couldn’t move tickets and had to run the motherfukker in THE PARKING LOT. The game is the game

Brother bruti and hogan aint even friends no more ni reason to lie.

Seems like they made a plan to work it for maybe something in the future with macho.

The hogan/machi beef iver elizabeth was when he was filming a movie before he came back, she was fukkin some car salesman while she sposed to be with linda while hulks filming and macho came and couldnt find her.

All those wrestlers know aboutit. Ive heard knobbs honkey brutis tell same story for years.

Why would vince be mad at hulk cuz macho punched him. His eye was pure black. That was more than an eye jammy.

I guess I've just not been watching the right interviews - last time I heard it mentioned on a podcast people were still throwing around theories like it hadn't been resolved.

A lot better than expected would recommend

Bret saying what happened to him at Mania was the worst thing Vince ever did to him :comeon: :bryan:

I want to know what Hoegan and Giant Gonzalez were talking about :pachaha:
