Why?  Because he can insult somebody from across the room?  Mmmm... nah. 
Besides, I think "Hayseed" was a bit funnier.

Say... THAT would be a trick, wouldn't it?  :-)  I wonder which mask Paul
Diamond would wear for the match...?

Sure... why not?  Lens needed cleaning anyway...  as for the #1 contender
debate, who really cares?  Whoever it ends up being won't matter.  The Nasty
Boys, one way or another, will be the next WWF World tag champions... saldy.

Nah... it didn't seem like it was THAT kind of ending they were going for...

On a different tack, does anybody else think Barry Darsow's jock strap is on
just a touch too tight when he does those interviews...?  I mean, listen to how
HIGH his voice gets...

Say, I wonder if we can nominate this for Herb's awards... quote of the year.

Funniest incident of the night.  Period.  Bar none.

First of all, I had thought that Backlund had already hit 50... second of all,
even if he's 43, he's still older than Slick Ric, who's only 42. (I think)

Willing to try for Steve Lombardi?  No...?  Okay, how about Steve DiSalvo?  :-)

Uh-huh... sure they are.  They only lost the title match at SS, and they lost a
dark match to the Sheepwhackers at WM VIII.  They're REALLY in the hunt now...
