The SmarK Retro Rant for WWF Wrestlemania VII

- Yeah, this is a kind of a random choice, I know, but I've been meaning to do the full Anthology version of the show for months now and this is as good a night as any. Since we didn't have PPV in Edmonton at the time, this is the first time I've ever seen anything besides the heavily edited Coliseum version of this show.

- Live from the Los Angeles Coliseum LA Sports Arena

- Your hosts are Gorilla Monsoon and a rotating cast of color commentators, mainly Bobby Heenan. First up is Hacksaw Duggan, introduced with entrance music dubbed over where he had none previously. I don't get that.

Hey folks, ThatNickGuy here. Sorry I didn’t get this done sooner, but things have been a little hectic, lately, with work and getting ready to return to school. Anyway, here’s the second part and I’m hoping to get the third one done by next week. *crosses his fingers*

WWE Superstars Recap, August 27, 2009
Taped on Monday, August 24 in Las Vegas and Tuesday, August 25 in Phoenix
By Alexander Coleman

-Before the show begins, The Miz is plugged along with WWE Superstars during the end credits of “America's Funniest Home Videos.” He is “AWESOME!” WGN America tells us to “Expect Everything.”

-WWE opening.

-Superstars opening.

-Pyro!!!

-Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler introduce us to Superstars. They hype Finlay vs. Mike Knox vs. Dolph Ziggler as tonight's main event—provided by Smackdown—with the winner going to Breaking Point to challenge Rey Mysterio. Well, that was the plan but the Wellness Policy has doubtless changed things.

The SmarK Legacy Rant for Summerslam Spectacular 1993

- Taped from Poughkeepsie, NY, somewhere around August 16 1993. Probably that night.

- Your hosts are Jim Ross and Gorilla Monsoon. Huh.

- I'm delighted that this show, hyped for three weeks on the 1993 RAWs, is in fact available under Mike Rotundo's "Where are they now?" page. Gotta love the WWE's video library.
