Highlight Roddy Piper and hit right twice. You will be sent to a nice little promo Roddy gave on an 08/25/82 episode of World Wide Wrestling. 2) Roddy Piper Remembers a Promo (0:56) Go the the Extras section, and head to the last page. Highlight Piper’s Pit and hit left twice. Roddy remembers cutting a promo against Dusty and Dusty running out of material to come back with, and Roddy says that put him on the map. ---Disc Two--- 1) Piper on Rhodes (0:40) Piper talks about the best Rhodes promo, about a poster a handicapped kid gave. To get this, go to the chapters section, highlight Dusty Rhodes, and hit right twice. 2) Steamboat Interview (2:21) To access this egg, go to the Chapters section, highlight Ricky Steamboat and hit left twice. Steamboat talks about a match where he fought Austin and Pillman with Shane Douglas, as the main event of a high school show, during a blizzard. The place was sold out and their match was on after intermission but during intermission, the announcer said people should leave and go home if they can’t make it. So Steamboat says he worked a 40-minute match. ---Disc Three--- 1) 1983 WWF Wrestler of the Year (1:35) Jimmy Superfly Snuka is on an episode of Championship Wrestling aired on 01/03/84, where he is awarded the Wrestler of the Year for 1983. To get this, go to the Chapters section, highlight Jimmy Snuka and hit right twice. 2) Wrestlemania VI Promo (2:05) This is an interesting choice, being as it aired on Wrestlemania VI which was held on 04/01/90. To get his, go to the Chapters section, highlight Hulk Hogan and hit left three times. 3) Sheik Promo (1:08) To get this extra, go to the Extras Section, highlight the Sheik/Backlund match, and hit right twice. 4) Hogan Promo (1:36) To get this extra, go to the Extras Section, highlight the Sheik/Hogan match, and hit left twice. 5) Buddy Rogers Corner To get this little interview, go to the extras, highlight Snuka vs. Backlund and hit right four times.

Out of interest, did anyone on here who read Heenan's book remember what he said about what he did first? Good point.

I recognize the first part of it from the "Earthquake smashes the Hulk" music video they ran in the summer of 1990, but the whole part afterwards about his childhood is new to me. When did this air and on what show? Wow, never seen this before.

It looks like they ran MSG every month in 1985 and 1986, with crowds in between 15,000 and 23,000. Then ran it almost as often throughout the 1980's and by 1993 they were going there about half as much.

Thanks John Sorrow, for making me feel better about myself. Man, and I was worried there wasn’t a dork out there taking bullshit wrestling knowledge too seriously.

Also, I've heard both Sgt. Slaughter and Roddy Piper take credit for entrance music... Didn’t Gorgeous George use ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ in like the 50s?
