Hidden Highlights
By JP Prag and James "JT" Thomlison
Issue #27
Intro
Hello everyone completely wiped out, and welcome back to Hidden Highlights!!
Hidden Highlight (n) – a small, hardly noticeable point that makes a big, positive difference. This could be anything from a wrestler putting extra emphasis into his moves to make it believable to a person in the background reacting while not the focus to the cameraman shaking the picture to create an effect. There are just so many unsung heroes of wrestling that it is impossible to cover them all.
Every week we take the top 3 Hidden Highlights from the biggest shows on television (Impact, RAW, SmackDown!, and a PPV or television special if there is one). Plus we turn to you, the readers, to let us know all the Hidden Highlights you saw or that we missed. On top of that we revisit old moments to find Classic Hidden Highlights and then explore other issues that prove why this is the most positive article in the IWC.
And who is this mysterious we, you ask?
First, there is JP Prag who also this past week posted In Defense of… The Ultimate Warrior (Part 3 of 3). This is your one and only chance to vote in and let us know if Warrior is a self-destructive crackpot, or a misunderstood wrestling legend.
We bring you Hidden Highlights with one goal in mind: to appreciate all those little things that make a huge difference. JT?
JT: Oh come on, you know I did more than that this week!
JP: Yeah, but it's more amusing to make fun of you. Besides, I'm exhausted!
JT: Why this week? You travel to fifteen different states or something?
JP: No, no, I actually only had day trips this week. But I figured since I'd be around, I'd book in a few extra things…
JT: Oh boy…
JP: Yeah, so I wrote a 20-page Part 3 for In Defense Of…, wrote or edited at least 20 pages of our Countdown to Wrestlemania special tomorrow, worked on that other project that you and I and a couple of others know about, and was the celebrity judge for a business plan competition at my alma matta.
JT: Celebrity?!?!
JP: Well, replace "Celebrity" with "Pre-qualification" and "Judge" with "Reviewer" and then it would be a bit more accurate… but it was still hard work!
JT: Sure it was JP, sure it was.
JP: Oh, stop patronizing me and on with the Hidden Highlights!!!
JT: Patronizing is all I've got. It's not like I'm writing columns or anything... like this one, or our WrestleMania HH, or our ownage of Meehan...
JP: I JUST said stop patronizing!!!
Hidden Highlights for TNA Impact: Saturday, February 25, 2006 by JT
JT: You know I must admit, despite the fact we are THE most positive column on the IWC, I can't help but wonder what poor circumstances forced TNA to run it's next Pay-Per-View on March 12th... the same night that Season 6 of the Sopranos premieres. Here's to hoping that the iMPACT! the night before can have a strong build leading some fans to order the PPV and realize they can catch the repeat of the Sopranos several times during the week. That, and I'd rather not deal with the "Christian can't draw for shit" thread, bound to pop up if the PPV buy rates are low.
JP: Did you just subconsciously ask people to choose the PPV over the Sopranos just so your boy won't catch some slack?
JT: I have no idea what you're talking about.
(3) Oh good God, JT, the attire thing again?:
Yes, the attire thing again. Please keep in mind, this is a first for TNA! When AJ Styles made his entrance to the ring, the first thing I thought to myself was "Ultimate X Match". Why? His ring attire of course! Red boots, red shorts, red vest. What color are the wires in an Ultimate X match? That's right, folks; red. Just by him wearing that with the match forthcoming, it really gave me a sense that he's focused and ready; that adds importance to an already important match.
(2) A head nod is worth a thousand words:
During the AMW promo (and subsequent AMW / Jarrett / Shelley promo), Gail Kim did not say a single word, but she said a whole bunch! Eh? ...I know. Anytime AMW would say anything positive ("we're going to kick ass"), she would nod her head up and down, but anytime they said something 'unrealistic' ("you also get a chance to become Tag Team Champions, but that's not going to happen"), she would not her head from side to side, completely no selling it. She did the same once Jarrett and Shelley got on the mic as well. I thought these were nice little touches by Gail Kim to make it seem like she was actually participating in the conversation, as opposed to just standing there looking hot. This of course conflicts with Csonka, who on Friday said that Gail Kim should either A. be wrestling or B. just standing there looking hot... but what in the fuck does he know?
JP: Just to contradict Larry some more, I really did not appreciate Larry saying that being positive is not controversial. Have you read us compliment Chris Masters or Orlando Jordan? Have you seen me defend the Ultimate Warrior? Did you read Meehan's piece on Mark Henry? Did you check Bayani's Top Ten black wrestlers in history and who he left OFF the list? What about Andy Clark's reasons to order Wrestlemania 22? The bottom line: Positivity = Controversy. Deal with it!
JT: Are you done ranting?
JP: Probably not, but you should continue before I do.
JT: Good idea!
(1) FINALLY!....THE CAMERAMAN HAS COME BACK ...TO HIDDEN HIGHLIGHTS!!!:
Another first for Hidden Highlights!
At the beginning of the Team Canada vs. James gang match, Team Canada attacked as BG was giving his usual opening spiel. BG dropped the microphone, but it didn't go out of the ring. About a minute later, you can kind of see this arm trying to reach out and grab the mic, and after the shot went to a different angle, you can see (in the bottom right corner) that it was the cameraman! He couldn't grab it immediately because he couldn't see it; this is because he didn't want to take his eye out of the lens-hole and miss any of the great action in the ring! I don't even think we have to mention that this implies that the cameraman wants to stay on the match because it implies that wrestling is not scripted and he didn't want to miss a spot. Nice job by the camera-man to be focused on his job, especially knowing his shot might not even be the one on TV at the time.
Congrats cameramen, you have finally arrived!
JP: Hahaha! I love when we give people proper names based on their jobs. Mr. Producer, Cameraman, Director Guy, they all deserve a lot more props than even we give them.
Hidden Highlights for WWE RAW: Monday, February 27, 2006 by JP
JP: Because I decided not to sleep this week, as soon as I actually sat down to watch RAW I fell asleep. It wasn't Foley or Edge's fault, but when I get relaxed I fall asleep. That's why I always tell people when I fall asleep when they are talking to me it's a compliment that I find them entertaining. So I thought I'd drink a king of my coveted Vault to stay awake, but not even that could help. Eventually, though, I got through the program and found my Hidden Highlights in record time!
(3) What a mug:
Just as soon as the show started I got my first Hidden Highlight and knew I was going to use it. When they showed the graphic of Mr. McMahon and Marty Jannetty, most people concentrated on Mr. McMahon and his ass that could do tricks. Well not me! I looked right at Jannetty, and the picture they used. Somehow, in the one minute he was on TV last week, the production team found the perfect shot to use of Jannetty with a look of shock, confusion, and disgust on his face. That reaction did more to sell Mr. McMahon's ass than Mr. McMahon's ass itself. Excellent job by production with that one (and now I've sworn more in one issue of Hidden Highlights than the previous 26 issues combined. Thanks a lot, Vince!).
(2) Enforce the rules:
During the RVD vs. Trevor Murdoch match for a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at Wrestlemania 22 (my condolences to Lilian to have to say that entire spiel all night), Trevor had RVD in a pinning predicament. But the ref caught that Trevor's feat were under the ropes and stopped the count. This is something I absolutely love! An often under-utilized (and never followed rule) is that a hold or pin is broken by TOUCHING the ropes (Kurt, you can't pull people back in after they touch the rope, you have to break the hold) ****OR**** if someone's foot is under the ropes. Why? Because under the ropes is out of the ring, and you can only defeat someone inside the ring. Nice job by the ref to see Trevor's feat were under the ropes and to call him out on it. I love it when the rules are enforced!
(1) SIGNS!!!!!!:
If you watched the crowd all night you may have seen the following signs:
- 411mania
- Small > Slimmer
- You Can't See Meehan
- JT Fears the Boogeyman
This proves once and for all just how huge 411mania really is!
What's that? Oh, yeah… those signs were held by 411mania's own Jeff Small and John Meehan. Well, as the most gratuitous self plugger on the sight, I certainly can't knock those boys for putting themselves over.
Or can I?
Nah, I'll let it slide. Plus, I promised them screen caps but I just didn't have time for it, so they'll have to deal with being my top Hidden Highlight for RAW!
JT: I completely agree on the "under the rope" rule. That is SO underutilized in today's sport. Aside from that though... you stole my Hidden Highlight!
JP: What?! How?!
JP: You'll see you stealer-of-my-Hidden-Highlight!!!
Hidden Highlights for WWE SmackDown!: Friday, March 3, 2006 by JT
JT: I must say, not only did I find Kurt Angle vs. Undertaker 2 to be a great match, I actually found it BETTER than their No Way Out contest! (note: I am not taking anything away from their NWO match, it was a fine match as well, but last night... DAMN). My one grievance was that it had to end the way it did, but hey, you can't book matches for WrestleMania without a back story!
(3) Don't turn that dial:
When SmackDown! first came on, they showed a video package recapping what's been going on thus far in the Kurt Angle / Undertaker feud. The very first thing out of Cole's mouth was "Tonight, the biggest main-event in SmackDown! history!". Now, is it the biggest main event in SD history? Maybe. But the point is it made me ask myself that question, which conjured up memories. Memories of Angle / Lesnar 60 minute Ironman Match; memories of Hulkamania returning to kick Vince McMahon's ass; memories of Kurt vs. Benoit circa 2003; memories of Lesnar / Big Show when the ring collapsed; memories of Eddie literally passing out in the ring; memories of Angle / Austin that ultimately saw Big Show, Kane, the Undertaker, and HHH come out... the point is, it made me realize all the great things I've seen on SmackDown!, and reminded me that despite what the current product may be, I better not go anywhere, because classic moments can happen at any time.
(2) The Deadman's on your Brain:
Hate to spend 2/3rds of this dealing with Angle / Taker, but when Kurt Angle gives you a HH, it's usually gold (no pun intended) and cannot be ignored. As the arena was dark and Taker was making his entrance, they have a wide-angle view of the ring, and there is Kurt Angle, smacking himself in the head repeatedly. He was getting psyched up! Everyone knows that the Undertaker is about mind games, and Kurt was making sure his (mind) was exactly where it needs to be; part of remaining a Champion is focus, and not letting your opponent not get into your head. Nice job of Kurt Angle selling the "psychological" aspect of the Undertaker, despite the fact that there were no lights and practically nobody could see him.
(1) Signs, part duex:
JT: JP, you're still a jerk who stole my Hidden Highlight, but I'm running with it anyway! But mine is better because it's actually a Hidden Highlight, as opposed to your overly dramatic glorifying of the matter.
JP: Hey!
JT: Just kidding... sort of.
JP: Just tell us already!
Okay, yes. After 26 issues, and 80 (with today's) Hidden Highlights for SmackDown!, I'm being greedy and taking one for myself. At the end of the Booker T match, as the Boogeyman made his way to the ring, a sign was held up. "JT Fears the Boogeyman". Yes people, that was for me. Our own Jeff Small and John Meehan attended the SuperShow, and completely owned with his signs. From what I saw, not only did my sign make the air, but as JP told you and as you may have seen, "411mania.com", "Small > Slimmer", and "You can't see Meehan" graced the screen about 837 times. Now, this may not be a HH for everyone, but it certainly made my and a lot of other people's enjoyment level rise. Signs at shows - and more specifically - signs that make it onto the air, connects everyone. It connects the WWE Product with the WWE fans with the 411 writers with the 411 readers. It reminds us that wrestling (and 411) is something we can participate in and get close to, not just admire from afar. Major props to Small and Meehan for doing such a great job of representing 411 on both RAW and SD!.
JP: That said, I do appreciate signs that put me over. I like the one JT had at Survivor Series that said, "This Sign Is a Hidden Highlight". Feel free to use that sign and anything else that makes me look awesome and makes fun of JT.
Reader Write-in Hidden Highlight of the week
Hidden Highlights aren't just for us to find and tell you about, but for you to spot and share with us. Don't just sit there and stare, but be a more active, attentive, and engaged viewer. Appreciate all the hard work that goes into making the wrestling we have the privilege to watch and then let us know what you caught this and every week.
This week JP gets to pick our Reader Write-in Hidden Highlights of the week.
JP: Another batch of great write-ins that makes me want to go on vacation and let you guys take over. JT took a vacation, remember? Now, *GENERAL WARNING*:: some parts of the following Reader Write-in Hidden Highlights may be edited for grammar, spelling, and English translation…
I'm going to start off with Army Chris who has some speculation:
I think I might have a hidden highlight. I was watching Smackdown and when the Raw rebound played I noticed something kind of interesting. When it showed HHH winning the title shot at Wrestlemania there was a red screen BUT immediately after when Cena came for the "showdown" the screen switched to blue. Now we all know red = Raw and blue = Smackdown..... I found that interesting because it could mean one of two things. First HHH is a Raw champion/ superstar through and through; he even got picked to go to Smackdown during the draft lottery but came back to Raw shortly thereafter, and Cena got his start as the Smackdown brand champion. Could this foreshadow the Raw Smackdown merge that has been rumored? OR is Raw, being demonstrated to be so superior, DEFINATELY going to go over the Smackdown brand, the lesser of the two? Hmmmm Foreshadowing? Only time will tell folks.
JP: Sorry Chris, but I think you went a little TOO hidden on this one! It's just simple tricks of color. Red is an intensifying color and blue is a calming color. All they are trying to do is create a sense of agitation around Triple H and created a sense of serenity and meaning around Cena. Is this subliminal trick working? Washington, DC would seem to say "No!"
Next up, Will Bryant wants to get a little personal:
I finally caught a hidden highlight myself, but it seems like more of a personal hidden highlight rather than anything deliberate. Still, I caught one.
During the opening segment of tonight's (February 25) Impact, the opening promo by Monty Brown turned into a brawl with Christian Cage. Larry Zbysko then ran down to break things up. At one point, Mike Tenay tells Zbysko to "keep 'em separated." That made me think of Raven and, in turn, Zbysko's beef with him since "keep 'em separated" was an oft repeated phrase in Raven's old ECW theme song. I doubt that was intentional on Tenay's part, but it still struck me as a hidden highlight.
JP: A personal Hidden Highlight? Yes it is. But now I'm counting it as a personal Hidden Highlight for me as well.
Chris Pugh chimed in next with a recent DVD purchase:
I recently bought the "best of the X-division" and have been [enamored] with it. Last night I watched the 3-way dance for the title between Styles, Sabin and Williams. There were a few little things I noticed because of you guys ([whether] you like it or not)
1) When D'amour was booted from ringside as he left the camera shot changed to the tunnel, D'amour is furious and kicks the side of the tunnel, and [immediately] limps back. Good little added touch.
2) Williams is running from Sabin around the ring and then slides back in. Sabin stands on the apron as Williams taunts him. Styles has gotten up and is standing behind him. The look on Williams face as he realizes he just fucked up and let Styles behind him is great.
3) Once again the ref. During some of the bigger moves as they hit, the ref would jump of give that "ouch" facial expression. greta work as I know you guys have been pointing out the refs for awhile.
Thanks guys, keep up the good work.
JP: Why wouldn't we like it? Those three were awesome! I could not be prouder!
Keeping with TNA, Steve Masters chimed in with quite a few, but I went with this one:
Tag title match: Killings wears the hat, we all know that. Then the ref takes it and, unlike most refs who throw things out the ring, he puts it back where Storm put it in the first place. Nice job there, Ref-boy. Same match, when Abyss suplexes Rhyno through the [aluminum] wall, I was wracking my brains trying to think about what that room was for and came up with nothing. Then I remembered back to the first Monster's Ball match when they had the vignettes for the competitors and I do believe that's where they filmed it. Nice touch, as Abyss has been in both MBs and Rhino was in the second.
JP: You ever watch old cartoons? You know when something is going to happen in a certain spot because there is a square or something off-color? That's exactly what the wall looked like for me. Now that was my Hidden Highlight, but I like your reasons for the mystery room much better. Nice catch.
Switching gears to RAW, Dann Carrara heads straight to the announce booth:
Hey, I found a hidden highlight on Raw 2-27, when Coach interviewed Cena, the boo's for Cena were so loud and obvious, even a six year old fan could have realized they were for him. But King was quick to say "the boos for coach are so loud" to cover up for Cena, I thought this was a good hidden highlight
JP: But the six year olds were the ones that were cheering! Well, six year olds and me. I still can't get over how much DC was against Cena, but I can understand since it is a Batista town.
Jason Goodman caught the same one, and a bunch more. Here are a couple:
Spirit and Attitude: I never expected to give one of these to the Spirit Squad, but hell. When they introduced Vince, they gave him the traditional "DX Salute!" It seemed to serve as a nice allusion to the "old HBK" Vince was trying to draw back out. It may have been the only high point of this storyline, other than HBK/Shane-O-Mac at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Smackdown is consistent, and So is Vince: When announcing the Main Event for SNME, Vince made sure to mention that the handicap was between Triple H/Cena and Mysterio/Orton and the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. The commercials for the WM main event were the same, showing a shot of Angle and Taker. Nice way to keep it intriguing!
JP: That's the type of consistency and detail that makes a show great. And hey, in the past two weeks I've given props to Trevor Murdoch and Chris Masters, so don't worry about Spirit Squad love.
Still with RAW, Chris Wingert and Brett Newton took at interesting look at RVD's butt. Chris first:
I don't know how "hidden" this is as it was out in the open, but I loved RVD's tights on RAW. The back said "I'm Over!", like he was reminding the powers at be at WWE that he is a hit with the crowd and deserves to be higher (pun, sort of intended) than where he is.
And now Brett:
Notice RVD's outfit? The writing on the back is a not so subtle dig at McMahonagement. It reads "I'm Over". We know it, he knows it, everybody but Vince seems to know it.
JP: Do you remember on WWE Confidential (there's a reference for you) they went to the woman who makes RVD's tights. Unlike a lot of the guys, RVD has all of his tights custom made by a professional outside the WWE. So I'm sure either she, or RVD himself, thought that would be a great little rib. Good catch!
Chris Roberts gave us a lot of praise (which we really appreciate and request more of) and then gave an excellent Hidden Highlight:
In this week's iMPACT, AJ Styles faced off against Roderick Strong with Christopher Daniels doing commentary along with Mike Tenay and Don West. Tenay asked Daniels how he would prepare himself for the upcoming Ultimate X and Daniels quickly responded by saying, "What kind of fool do you think I am that I'm going to come out here and tell you about my secret techniques, where Samoa Joe might be able to hear it, where AJ Styles could watch a tape later on and understand it... ." The part where he said "where AJ Styles could watch a tape later on" really caught my attention as it showed Daniels selling the fact that they were supposed to be live on Saturday night and AJ would have to get iMPACT taped to see his match, while it's a well known fact that they tape their shows well in advance. More so that this match was taped a week and a half before it even aired, but Daniels made it seem like it was live as it was happening with that little comment of his, a hidden highlight for iMPACT that I felt added on to the show.
JP: Christopher Daniels is so good on commentary it isn't even funny. I hope when he retires in twenty-five years he'll take a color commentator's position.
JY also checked in with a ton of Hidden Highlights. I picked two and a half of them:
Before the Trish/Candace Michelle match, after Mickie announced Trish, Torrie came out to announce Candace. While Torrie was going over how awesome Candace is, the camera briefly flashed back to Trish and Mickie, and we got to see somethign we VERY rarely see in wrestling. Most of the time when you see a Diva, she's trying to be sexy. She's trying to look cool, and smooth, and attractive. Mickie James, in the storylines, at least, is NOT really a Diva. She's a fan who just happened to luck out. As such, she's not too worried about appearances. On top of that, she's been shown to be a tad weird, goofy, and annoying (to most, anyway). So what was Mickie doing in response to Torrie saying Candace was better than Trish? She put her thumbs to her head with fingers extended, and blew a rasberry. It was one of the most childish things I've seen in wrestling, and it fit her character perfectly. That little moment made the entire match for me.
[W]hen Shelley is videotaping Sting at the Borden house, he comments "Man, he really has a nice spread here...I'm DEFINITELY getting something like this when I move out of my apartment." Just a little way of pointing out that while the big guys in wrestling may be making more money than most fans will make in their entire lives, the little guys are still living relatively normal lives. Honestly, though, with [that one] and the whole "obviously their dad showed them how to play basketball, they're really not very good ::Sting's kid sinks a shot:: Ok, aside from that shot right there", it would probably just be easier to say "everything Alex Shelley does, EVER".
JP: I was so tempted to use all million things Mickie did on RAW for my section, but I'll give it all to you. Plus, did you see how see how Mickie completely mimicked Trish's raising of the title all around the ring? Too perfect! And when Alex Shelly said he was going to get something like this when he moved out of his apartment, I hit the ground laughing. What a perfectly hilarious and poignant line. I was thinking the same thing when I move out of my apartment! And the adlibbing on the tape was too perfect. I'm glad the Baby Bear is not part of the punishment crew.
Closing us out this week is the returning Mike LaFave with:
Next, we have out boy, Carlito...The man ducked a chop and turned it into a standing enziguri w/o any off leg support...how cool is that!!! Also, did you notice the sell job on the missed knee drop, because the pad was pulled down, the man is a pro!!!
JP: Like I was going to let the week go out without a Carlito Hidden Highlight! Great work as always, everyone! Keep them coming!
JT: You know, I don't talk about Christian EVERY week...
JT: It's your fault. My favorite needs face time too... we're showing entirely too much Carlito love... that's not cool.
JP: But it was a READER, not me! And Mike no less!
JT: Viva La Christian Cage!!!!!!!
Do you have a Hidden Highlight of the week? Or a Classic Hidden Highlight that you would like to share? Please e-mail JP..erT…er…us at jpjthidden@yahoo.com with your thoughts! Send them by Friday afternoon to be considered! And remember, they can be from any show, live or taped, or any house show, or anything you saw… we just like to know!
And speaking of Classic Hidden Highlights…
Classic Hidden Highlight
Every week we take a look into the past and remember something that was done to make a show that much better. Well, sometimes we don't remember, but you remember for us. Anyway, without further ado JT presents the Classic Hidden Highlight of the week:
The StarrCade ...screwjob?
Due to the insane amount of shit myself and JP have left to do in the next 24 hours to have our WrestleMania HH in on time, I am giving the Classic to a reader this week! DJ Strong chimed in with this little nugget:
I was watching TV the other night, and the commercial for the Bret Hart DVD. I began thinking about the 'Montreal Screw Job' and how more or less it was Earl Hebner that got him screwed.. then I thought about Bret's debut in WCW, and how in the same night Sting was 'screwed' by the ref in his match against Hogan. I think it was Strarcade 97..? And lo and behold. Bret Hart came and stopped Sting from getting screwed out of a title by a ref.
JT: What's really funny is the match before that, Bret had refereed a match between Zbysko and Bischoff for control of Nitro. Ironically, Bischoff ended up being the GM on RAW. Another interesting thing to note is that it was in fact Starcade 97, and it took place in the MCI Center, the same place as the SuperShow from last week which got Smalls signs all over TV! I have to believe that they had Bret do this on purpose; a little "haha, I'm Bret F'N Hart and I am now with WCW and it's your fucking fault Vince you stupid asshole." Good catch DJ.
JP: Starrcade '97 is also among my all-time favorite PPVs and is still among my tape collection today. I think I'll have to another one of those retro reviews for that PPV in the future.
That Other Section
That Other Section is an idea, a free forum for a few things that just don't have a place. It could be Read Between the Lines where we'll look at a news bite in more detail. It may just be a Pointless Question trying to connect the unconnected dots. You might read a Hidden Highlights Profile where we explore one of the masters of Hidden Highlights (like Chris Jericho) and explain what they do right. It could even be some additional Hidden Highlights, or something else entirely. And sometimes, it might not exist at all. Hey, if we don't have anything to talk about, why force it?
This week, JT has something for That Other Section.
Mindless witty banter:
JT: I didn't do anything for That Other Section.
JP: Why not? I thought you wanted to do some more stuff here?
JT: No, I went last week and you completely no sold me!
JP: You mean the Pointless Question? You are actually counting that?
JP: No, he's been all pissy since only like three people wished him Happy Birthday. Plus, I did just yell at him up in the TNA section.
Larry: Careful you two!
JT: We could make Cook jokes? He's harmless. Plus he called me a lazy bastard.
JP: Well, you do kind of do nothing around here...
JT: Oh like it's MY fault Todd Grisham let the Dicks get out of hand and the WB killed Smallville for six weeks.
JP: Maybe they don't like your reviews.
JT: Maybe you shouldn't defend psychos.
JP: Where the HECK did that come from!?!
JT: I'm just saying! ...we could talk shit to Meehan?
JP: Too easy... we could just skip the section altogether...?
JT: Think the readers will forgive us?
JP:Who cares, they'll read us anyway. Well, we do have a good group of readers, I think they'd understand, especially when they read our 936 page WrestleMania Hidden Highlights tomorrow.
JT: Agreed, let's call it a day good buddy.
JP: Wait, still one more section to go, and it's mine!
Last Page
The Last Page is where we get to express something else positive in the world of wrestling. Who knows what it might be? Well, actually, you do…
Just a congrats:
By JP Prag
I'm running a little short on time this week (and will more than make up for it tomorrow), so I just want to congratulate the WWE on some excellent third quarter results. But just take this advice: the best of the worst doesn't make you any damn good. Always shoot to be better then you are.
And the Response
JT: What? No mini-defense of Matt Morgan's stutter gimmick?
Exit, stage left!
JT: Have a good week folks. Oh, and go spend all your money on this!
JP: What, you get to fat to wear the belt?
JT: Hardy har har har. I have my reasons.
JP: Is one of them because you are so fat?
JT: Oh you son of a bitch, I'm outta here!
JP: Don't forget to come back tomorrow for 411's Countdown to Wrestlemania 22: Hidden Highlights of Wrestlemania (Parts 1 and 2).
Thanks you for joining us for the twenty-seventh issue of Hidden Highlights. Be sure to drop us a line and let us know what you think and all the other Hidden Highlights we missed. Plus, we want to hear your Reader Write-ins and Classic Hidden Highlights for all the moments you see this and every week.
We'll catch you again next time in the most positive article in all of the IWC: Hidden Highlights! Until then!
