It’s probably better to actually forget him entirely. haha

This one’s pretty famous, I think, since a lot of people joked about it on the net.

I’m blanking on his name, but he was the Austrailian roid monkey that apparently squirted milk out his nipples once.

Anyway, there was a Smackdown taping where he ran in to save The Undertaker (I think to set up for the Wrestlemania match they were supposed to tag in). The live reports said that the first time, he missed a spinning heel kick by a mile. So they had to re-do it.

Wow that one is pretty bad haha.

Doesn’t Hogan do an interview with Mene Gene with the old WWF title (the one with the world on it) and come out to the ring with the new WWF title (winged eagle design) at the Main Event show versus Andre?

The other thing shocking about this dub was how poor the audio was. Heenan/Gorilla’s mics were turned up WAY too loud in the overdub and the audio keeps clipping. It almost sounds like am AM radio broadcast.

This clip is also on the “Invasion 1992″ Coliseum Home Video during the Ric Flair segment. Even in SP with hi-fi audio, it still sounds like the sloppiest dub job ever.

That was the first time I ever heard a sizable crowd boo Hogan — I was listening to RR 92 on Scramble Vision and it was quite shocking at the time. I wonder if Sid got in trouble for egging the crowd on once they started booing Hogan.

Yeah, that’s not what actually made it to air. And I believe it was the same deal with people intercepting what was recorded at the arena when it was being beamed back to the Stamford based WWE studios. I remember being able to regularly download stuff that happened after the conclusion of the show, but was being included in the “beamed” feed. I believe this Brock & Kurt kissing moment is an example of that:

Anyway, I have no idea how people pulled this off or if anyone still does but I always thought it was pretty cool. I have some good memories of finding gems like that on the sledgehammer forums a couple days after TV tapings.

Here’s a editing blunder. It’s Bret Hart being interviewed by Shawn Michaels on Superstars shortly after WrestleMania X. At 1:38, Bret’s wrestling gear turns from black to pink (I guess they taped the segment twice and combined them together).

My favorite piece of editing was just on 24/7 for the Feb. 1992 SNME with the Hogan/Sid turn. They show the end of the Rumble and not only is the crowd noise dubbed, but they had Gorilla & Heenan do new commentary. Which is just off the page hilarious since its supposedly the real commentary yet they hardly mention Flair, Gorilla is just like “What a backfighter Sid is!” “What a coward this Sid is!” ‘This is disgusting!”

Its made all the more laughable since Gorilla never said anything like that…as if he missed his cue to acknowledge Sid was acting heelish or he was supposed to figure it out himself and didn’t.

Smackdown has been the victim of a lot of heavy editing because it’s taped. I also remember Brock facing Heyman in the buildup to WM19 in a cage match. Angle couldn’t open the door, despite trying for 10 minutes to open it, so he finally decided to climb the cage, which was extremely dangerous because Angle’s neck was in serious trouble at that point so he didn’t have a lot of strength.
