Primetime Wrestling featuring a recap of all of the events leading up to WM 8. A highlight is the awful, awful "press conference" with Sid Justice demonstrating some horrid acting.  "What you did, Jack Tunney, is BOGUS!!!!" |

Found Hilarious House of Frightenstein from the run on 'Drive-In'...........yay! That was an excellent part of my childhood. I guess Price's parts were all filmed in a marathon succession and saved for future use. I hate watching the reruns because they had to cut the Wolfman's segments due to song licensing and copyrights. Doesn't feel the same. |
