11/11/96:

After defeating Bob Holly, Steve Austin goes on the hunt for Bret Hart, who was seen casually watching this match while sipping coffee.

[Joe Marotta @the_joe_marotta]

"The Grand Wizard: deceased"

Vince McMahon announces the death of Wiz on Championship Wrestling

[OVP - Retro Wrestling Podcast @ovppodcast]

11/11/91:

Prime Time Wrestling switches to its final format, dragging a table into the now-empty studio.

The haphazard setup here combined with the fact that they'd advertised Jake Roberts as a guest of the audience version makes me think this was very last minute.

11/11/89: Big debut here

smiling John from West Virginia turns out to be a new Jimmy Hart recruit:

The Canadian Earthquake!

[OVP - Retro Wrestling Podcast @ovppodcast]

11/10/96: Mr. Perfect makes his final WWF TV appearance until 2002 while his protege HHH defeats Alex Porteau.

11/10/90:

Posting this Power & Glory squash specifically so we can see the PowerPlex.

[OVP - Retro Wrestling Podcast @ovppodcast]

11/10/91:

Promo from Ric Flair & Bobby Heenan and then Hulk Hogan for their upcoming match at MSG

[Joe Marotta @the_joe_marotta]

"Owen, I don't hate you... I just kinda feel sorry for you."

[OVP - Retro Wrestling Podcast @ovppodcast]

11/9/91: early Repo Man vignette.

The character seemed be a bit less over the top and a little more serious, briefly.

(relatively speaking, of course)

[OVP - Retro Wrestling Podcast @ovppodcast]

11/9/97: Tremendous video package to set up Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels.

[Joe Marotta @the_joe_marotta]

Sid's promo in the empty Alamo Dome

it's Sid as only Sid can.

[OVP - Retro Wrestling Podcast @ovppodcast]

11/9/85: Hulk Hogan makes an appearance on WWF Championship Wrestling.

He QUICKLY defeats Rusty Brooks, but not before Randy Savage & Elizabeth wander out.

Liz, not quite yet the "damsel in distress" character, does the Macho Man's bidding on the mic.

11/8/97:

Promo for next week's big MSG show, including a Fatal Fourway between Bret/Shawn/Austin/Undertaker.

Needless to say, that didn't happen.

[OVP - Retro Wrestling Podcast @ovppodcast]

@Sandisine1 Crush feud was his idea

[OVP - Retro Wrestling Podcast @ovppodcast]

11/8/93: Chaos ensues as Crush & Randy Savage brawl on Raw.

Savage even winds up tossing Vince to the floor!

[OVP - Retro Wrestling Podcast @ovppodcast]

11/8/86:

Bobby Heenan and the relatively new Slick go to the actual bank to make a deal for Hercules.

[Joe Marotta @the_joe_marotta]

Under-the-radar Sid moment: 7/14/97 Raw

Sid has been missing about a month

Austin has to choose a tag partner, and among those joining him on the ramp is the Master and Ruler of the World.

It was a one-off quick thing, but the pop was great.
