Pollock's Bret Hart voice is fucking amazing

I always got a kick out of Skull from the DOA, because his name always made me instantly think of Bulk and Skull from the Power Rangers.

Thanks for the shout-out guys.

The thread in question is the Review-A-Wai Request Thread.

I forgot to give some feedback but I wanted to mention that Jim Neidhart also had a stipulation. If any of the Hart Foundation members lost, he would shave his goatee. Another stip that wasn't lived up to.

I popped in my VHS of SummerSlam at the KEG house to get over the fact that Celeste was upstairs with you-know-who, and also noticed the Neidhart "shave my beard if any Hart Foundation members lose" stip, which he clearly didn't abide to. Maybe it was a money thing? No mention of it on the 8/4/97 Raw, whatsoever. I wonder, how much money was Neidhart promised? And then how much was he offered, and turned down?

At any rate, Governor Christie Todd Whitman was a sight for sore eyes, but Sunny's tits made me forget about it, soon enough. Me and Brand-O gave the event 3 out of 5.

This was a great episode, but my God, the first 20ish minutes were so ridiculously hilarious.

Oh and as a super Fabulous Freebirds mark from my childhood I have to be that guy John.. It was Terry Gordy who slammed Kerry Von Erich's head wit the cage door. Hayes was the special guest enforcer in the cage and he laid out Flair but Von Erich had too much honor to pin him so the Freebirds turned on the Von Erichs and so started the greatest feud ever in my opinion.

Sorry for the nit pick

The Miz was the PWI 500 #1 wrestler of 2011. That should tell you something.
