Reminds me of a phantom bump in a Trish Stratus match. I can't remember for the life of me who she was wrestling. But Trish went for a bulldog I think. Her opponent didn't go down. She just stood there. Then it finally dawned on her that she was supposed to take a bump and she dropped like she had gotten shot by a sniper.

Regarding the match Cornette talks about with the The Johnsons (Mike & Todd Shane), I trained alongside them in Tampa in late '96, so for the match in question, they had indeed been in the business about 8-9 years at that point. I always got along with them and they were cool dudes. I never really thought their work was THAT bad, but who am I to question Jim? LOL! The Johnsons gimmick was pretty stupid, though.

The Shane Twins were champions in Peru, when Future Of Wrestling was touring through South America semi regularly. I am not going to check my books and see if it was before or after OVW.

Well Dunn (Steve Doll and Rex King) West Hollywood Blondes (Lane and Lodi) The Dicks (Tank Toland and Chad Wicks) Tekno Team 2000 (Chad Fortune and Erik Watts) The Johnsons (Dick and Rod Johnson) Those are my choices for worst tag ever! 😂

So when Bobby and Stan were double teaming Shane or Johnny the crowd was cheering. When the dude got the hot tag, the crowd was booing. At the end of the match Cornette snuck in and whacked Johnny Ace with the Tennis Racket and the entire Arena POPPED! It was the weirdest thing I ever saw.

I felt bad for Spirit Squad, because at first blush this seems like a good formula for a chickenshit heel tag team. Former pro athletes, pretty boys, still learning so you put them in a group to highlight strengths and mask weaknesses. They just went too heavy with the cheerleading thing. The uniforms were too much. Put them in college singlets, like they want to look like legit wrestlers, when we know they aren't. Jim Ross would have sold this beautifully, 'well fans, we know these guys are great athletically, they were athletes in college. Cheerleaders, but still." You could even use it to work in a face turn. Just point out how fucking dangerous cheerleading is. Have one of them have a sense of humor about the whole thing, "Yeah I did it. It was fun, and I got to toss the hottest girls in school around all day." Big Show was a high school cheerleader, have him join the team for a match or two as a 'special substitute'. Have him in the back sitting on a bench, they come in, "Hey man, Nick hurt his ankle. You're up." and Show is like "Finally! My big break!" and they go out and do their thing. Good palette cleanse match.

He’s talking about 1993-95 Red and Yellow Hogan aka lol Hulk wins. A LOT of Jim Herd ideas never made it out of the booking room thanks to Ole Anderson and his usual curmudgeonly grumpy sarcasm.

The Thunderfoots were worse than DING DONGS

Chad fortune became a monster jam monster truck driver.

How can The Harris Twins and The New Midnight Express be on the list and not The Heart Throbs lol

Maybe because they were such a blip on the radar that they must've forgot about them

Rocky King and George South...also, Randy Barber and thunderfoot... lol

I think the Shane twins are from Galesburg Illinois and went to school with my sister. I think they played on the tennis team in high school.

Also: The New Rockers. The New Blackjacks. The New Hart Foundation. Basically, any "new" version of a a previous team.

Jelly and sonny should have been on this list

Crazy thing is the Johnsons gimmick was actually before they went to WWE! If that didn't deter their signing, it's no surprise messing up the dark match that bad didn't either.

Facts about Chad Fortune/Troy: he was Erik Watt’s teammate at University of Louisville. Spent several years in the NFL. Also was the first person to defeat Bill Goldberg, in a dark match.

The Master Blasters.

I mean, no. They're awful but when they aren't flipping every 10 seconds, they can have good matches if you ignore their characters.

Hey, Jim got to crap on Jim Herd, Johnny Ace AND Vince Russo in one segment! The Ding Dongs as a concept really makes no sense. You can understand in theory how Tekno Team 2000 could get over because there's a lot of popular sci-fi with people from the future. What is the theoretical appeal of the Ding Dongs? Maybe pre-schoolers might like it? And it isn't like Jim Herd came up with this idea to amuse himself like both Vinces will. The Spirit Squad is an especially bad tag team because, like a lot of terrible post-WCW WWE ideas, I suspect the entire incentive was to bully and humiliate desperate wrestlers with no leverage to tell them "no".

Lil jimmy was hilarious with ron killings

I watched the Ding Dongs debut, it was so bad after the match JR said that ugh was bad. There was nothing redeeming about them.

Creative Control was a Russo idea in WCW. Former tag team champs there 😂

"We represent the two guys in the back that write this crap" - Creative Control on their debut. I don't remember exactly who they beat down, I think it was Buff Bagwell.

The American Males and The Dynamic Dudes should've been on this list.

I can't believe you said Mortimer Plumtree. Ghat guy was a manager in some indy promotion in the 90s in Minnesota. I can't remember the promotion, but I believe he managed Lenny Lane. Funny stuff.

@ShadowAngel They weren't any worse than a lot of other mid card teams. And no, they are not neo nazis. They got those tattoos for their biker gimmick, because biker gangs used them a lot to piss people off. No one who has ever worked with them has ever said they were anything but great guys. They currently run a lucha promotion, one of them has a bi-racial family and an adopted Filipino daughter. They have also had the tats covered since they retired. TLDR, you're a f***ing mark.

How do I send a question to either of them? Would like to have some answered for the show.

Bob Holly was also in a version of Rock and Roll Express with Robert Gibson. I think it was Awf
