12/14/92: IC champion Shawn Michaels and former partner Marty Jannetty have words regarding Sherri. Also, note the recently debuted Jerry Lawler sitting next to Bobby.


12/13/93: I quite like this footage of Yokozuna as Santa Claus, which the WWF cleverly disguised as a "dream" to explain the big heel's sudden change of heart. Also, I like the idea that Mr. Fuji just stands guard while Yoko sleeps.


12/13/86: The future “Angry Ref” Jack Kruger is an unfortunate victim of Kamala. No WONDER he was so mad as a referee!


12/13/86: One day before their famous SNME match was taped, Hogan and Orndorff faced off in the old-style chain link cage


12/13/93: It's the first Raw of the post-Heenan era. The first in a long line of replacement commentators is none other than James E. Cornette.


12/12/92: Ric Flair in the WWF IN A SUIT.


12/12/94: Bob Backlund and Doink cut promos for their big Monday Night Raw showdown. Backlund’s, of course, is typically insane. Also I love how Damien Demento is STILL in the Raw intro.


12/12/92: Jerry Lawler joins the WWF Superstars broadcast team with Vince McMahon & Bobby Heenan. For a few weeks, we were treated to a booth consisting of both The Brain & The King.


12/12/91: The Rockers near the end of the line here. Note: This was AFTER Jannetty dove through the barbershop window, but that hadn’t aired on TV yet.


12/11/93: Owen Hart sits down with Vince and memorably challenges brother Bret.


12/11/94: The recently-returned King Kong Bundy takes on a very young Jeff Hardy on the Action Zone.


12/11/93: Lex Luger, in front of his shower curtain apparently, cuts a promo on Ludvig Borga. Borga then offers his rebuttal.


12/11/87: Rick Rude sneaks a win past Paul Orndorff, who was just about done with the WWF. Everyone's favorite commentary team of Bruce Prichard, Duke Doherty and Mike McGuirk on the call.


12/10/94: It's the WWF debut of STEPHANIE WIAND!


12/10/94: The Headshrinkers with a sophisticated commercial for Left Guard deodorant. Featuring Lord Alfred Hayes!


12/10/88: Mean Gene wanders the woods and runs into The Bushwhackers, who will be debuting pretty soon.


12/10/84: The Hulkster makes his entrance at the Meadowlands to take on Big John Studd. Gorilla & Howard Finkel (!) on commentary.


12/9/89: Rick Martel graces us with his latest fashions.


12/9/90: A much-improved version of the Orient Express makes its TV debut, with Kato replacing Sato. I guess you could say Mr. Fuji is now in some bad company! Thank you.
