Scott's Blog of Doom

What, no Scrubs talk? I thought it was one of the better series finales, with the last 20 minutes or so genually causing me to tear up. If the series does live on they better call it something else cause this was as good as an ending as anyone could hope for.

Hey Scott,

I'd love to know your thoughts (and reader comments) on the Scrubs finale this week.

I know you've written about the show in the past.

The final ten minutes might have been the best series finale (emotionally) I have ever seen.  I hope you were able to see it.

Best,   Tony V.

Indeed, the finale (and it better be the finale and not the setup for some lame Interns spinoff) was one of the best sitcom finales I’ve ever seen.  The parade of dead and missing recurring characters and guest stars was brilliant stuff (lacking only Brendan Fraser and John Ritter and maybe Michael J. Fox) and I’d to think that JD’s last fantasy sequence will be considered canon for the show and that everyone lived happily ever after.  And JD really DID put the penny in the door eight years ago!  Holy crap! 

The real question:  Glenn or Tommy? 

(more...)

If you believe the rumors/legend, the original plan for WM IV was for Ted Dibiase to win the WWF title and Randy Savage to beat the Honky Tonk Man for the IC title, but it was changed because HTM refused to lose the title to Savage for some reason.  If they would have stuck to the original plan, how do you think future plans would have changed? They were clearly building a Hogan/Dibiase feud and they would have probably have had a title match at Summerslam instead of the tag match we got. HTM surely would have become a jobber much sooner, but where would Savage have fit in? Would they have still done the MegaPowers Exploding angle, only with Hogan as WWF Champion and Savage as IC Champion. Heck, would Savage have even been in the main event at WM V?
Also, do you know if there was ever a Hogan/Dibiase singles match, as all of the matches I have seen involving them were tag matches like Summerslam 88?

 

More importantly, how would the tournament have gone with the original bracketing?  Originally the winner of Dibiase-Duggan was supposed to meet the winner of Gang-Bigelow and Jake-Rude was in the upper bracket instead.  I don’t even know where they would have gone with that setup. 

Anyway, original idea for Summerslam was Savage winning the title from Dibiase as the big kickoff for the PPV tradition and then Savage goes to WM5 against Hogan like the universe dictated.  That was always set in stone. 

And yes, Hogan and Dibiase had a pretty good singles match on SNME in 1989 and a bunch of good ones on the house show circuit.
