I wonder what the origin of the Broken Bones thing was? Was it Kevin Nash's attempt to remain cool while his knees started to resemble the sponge toffee in a Crunchie bar?

During the Halloween 2012 edition of Review-A-Wai, John refers to the switch in the Chamber of Horrors match as the "Lethal Lever".
As the clip from the broadcast just seconds before correctly states, it is actually the "Fatal Lever".

During the Halloween 2012 edition of Review-A-Wai, John refers to Northern Exposure as a Canadian TV show.
It was actually an American production, set in Alaska, that aired from 1990 to 1995.

During the WCW Halloween Havoc 1991 Review-A-Wai, John refers to Lex Luger's block letters as "1 dimensional". They were technically "2 dimensional". He meant that they were "not 3 dimensional".

I imagine he meant "1-Dimensional" as in boring, cliche'd, stereotypical, uninspired etc. as is a phrase when describing poor characters.

First addition to this! John says Rude left 'earlier in the year' (1991) but he actually left in Oct 1990, leaving his next feud Bossman high and dry. The disagreements over money owed is right although I hadn't heard it as fleshed out before. Good job!
Also, WWF coliseum videos notoriously cut out footage. Especially at WrestleManias we're generally missing up to an hour. Even at WM7 (1991) they're joining matches 'in progress', missing about 45 minutes from the live show/WWE anthology versions.

Rick Rude was not right in his beef with WWF.
How do you deserve to get paid ANYTHING if you didn't actually work? What kind of bull shit is this?
So what if they advertised you? Did you show up to the building and work a match?
No?? Then NO MONIES for you.
And also, who says WWF continued to advertise Rude for house shows even after he was gone from the company? Rude?
Like Rude was ever such a huge draw that they just HAD to advertise him for house shows... <rolleyes>

On the Halloween Havoc review, John said "Over the weekend, I got my VISA bill in the mail."
As a Canadian Post employee, I can assure everyone that we do not deliver mail on weekends.

Wrestlemania 4 had that problem, it was some tapes anyway. A lot of older tapes from that era had stuff cut out of them. I remember renting stuff at the video store and watching later tapes and being able to see more. Nowadays, they just modify the music. Though, my Wrestlemania 4 DVD from the 21 disc anthology doesn't have Jesus Christ Superstar, but my Wrestlemania 4 VHS from the 13 tape anthology does. They got better with it in later years, but back in 91 when this was done, they had edited versions. It's actually fun now to pick out mistakes.

I am just shocked he got it in the mail. If he's like me, he only checks his mailbox once a week unless I am expecting something from a professional courier. E-Bills FTW! ;D

I didn't see the graphic, but if they misspelled the guy's name as "Romy", it wouldn't be pronounced as "RAH ME" (as John pronounced it), it would be pronounced "ROE ME", as in ...which is seriously a marvelously entertaining and clever movie, a fact that Jericho even acknowledges in his second book.

The misspelling was "Rommey" -- John pronounced it correctly.
