The SmarK DVD Rant for Jake Roberts: Pick Your Poison
- This was one that I skipped when it came out because it didn't really appeal to me for $25. But for $6, hey, why not?
We start with a poem, written by Jake Roberts, so I'm already getting a bad feeling going into this.
The Netcop Retro Rant for Royal Rumble 1992
- Live from Albany, NY
- Your hosts are Gorilla and Brain.
The Netcop Retro Rant for Royal Rumble 1991
- Live from Miami, Florida, bastion of Americana and/or old people.
- Your hosts are Gorilla Monsoon and Roddy Piper.
- This show is, of course, in the thick of the Gulf War and the Sgt. Slaughter storyline, and hence the crowd is in full xenophobic form.
The Netcop Retro Rant for Royal Rumble 1990.
- Live from Orlando, Florida.
- Your hosts are Tony Skee-A-Vone and the Governor of Minnesota.
The SmarK Retro Rant for WWF Royal Rumble 1994
- I'm stuck with the Anthology DVD version, which at least has much better video quality than my original VHS dub, so blame that for any inconsistencies with the original review. At least that means the full PPV version and not the Coliseum edit.
- Live from Providence, Rhode Island.
- Your hosts are Vince McMahon & Ted Dibiase. This actually now makes more sense to me given the rotating color commentators on RAW after the departure of Bobby Heenan. Back in the day, it was totally random to me because I only got to watch Superstars.
OK, so after giving this about 5 minutes of total thought, here’s my 64 team field for the first annual Scott’s Stupid Dream Tag Team Tournament. This is not in any particular order, it’s just 64 teams I could think of off the top of my head who are pretty cool and probably deserve slots here. If there’s any more deserving you can think of, now is the time to nominate them. I’m just gonna end up randomly seeding them and letting people vote in a poll to determine the winner. The criteria will be entirely up to you. Vote for your favorite, the ones who were the best workers, the ones you’d think would win a real fight, whatever.
The nominated teams:
The SmarK Retro Rant for WWF Survivor Series 1993
So since I'm at that point with Monday Night RAW now and the original rant badly needs a redo, here you are. Plus my theater isn't showing Bragging Rights (can you blame them?) and I don't feel like spending $50 on the HD PPV, so this is what you get from me today instead.
- Live from Boston, MA.
- Your hosts are Vince and for the last time on a WWF PPV, Bobby Heenan.
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.
Michael's Extreme Review #5
-We start of with a recap of last week's EXTREME RULES match with Tommy Dreamer and Christian.
-Pyro is in High Definition and your hosts are Josh Matthews and Matt Striker.
The SmarK Retro Rant ' Wrestlemania 1 (Director's Cut)
- Yes, it's another redo of a rant that sucked first time around due to being 5 years ago and all.
- This is from the 'Collection' set of Wrestlemanias released in 1997, and thus the show is complete and uncut from the original broadcast, unlike the hacked up Coliseum version that I used the first time around. Unfortunately, the actual quality of the tapes is about as low as humanly possible ' recorded in EP and seemingly as fragile as Scotch tape with magnetic filings on them. I haven't even watched this before and it's already threatening to fall apart.
