WWE Superstars

10 special matches.

from the televised era of WWE superstars on WGN America from April, 2009 to April, 2011.

That will not include Chris Masters.

He will have his own episode.

Naturally.

Yes.

Ten unique matchups from WWE superstars and the WGN America run.

So join us for that.

Mm-hmm.

You had to get ca- so you didn't have to get cable to watch WWE Superstars, right?

[laughs]

Like, you didn't have to have cable to watch WWE Superstars.

For me, it was Channel 5 on Saturday mornings.

Um, then you had to have cable to watch Raw on USA, or even before that, you had to have cable to watch, what's that? Tuesday Night Titans on USA, right? So then, like, the cable, everybody had cable to watch that, but when it came to the, the pay-per-views, you had the little black box or you was paying $29.99 or $39.99, whatever, whatever.

We'll discuss that with Dave.

Also, discussions on what happened to a couple of ex-WWE stars.

It's really not great to talk about, but we're going to cover that and more in the top five stories of the past seven days.

We call it The Five Counts.

McGuire on wrestling.

Dave, between Jack Swagger possibly almost losing an eye in Power Slap and Gable Stevenson being knocked out in 12 seconds.

Ex-WWE stars in combat sports.

Not a great weekend for them.

I was looking up.

Big Al Anderson was his name that performed the theme for WWE Superstars.

Yeah, but who is this guy? Where did he come from? And what's he all about? And I'm pretty sure, yeah, maybe he did the In Your House theme.

Yeah, like...

...

I was able to track down and finalize my Mattel Superstars figures, so I'm not gonna show everybody because there's so many goddamn figures.

So you've completed the, the line.

I completed the line.

John Cena

...

I, yeah, I've decided I'm keeping my Superstars.

I just love the Remco style.

Warning, the pranks and stunts in this show were performed by WWE superstars and trained professionals.

Do not attempt anything you see on this show.

What's up? I'm WWE superstar Randy Orton, and this is-

Marine 4? Santa's Little Helper? Christmas Bounty? Swerved? You ever heard of Swerved? Like WWE Network, Swerved.

No.

It's where WWE superstars, uh, prank other people.

And you're on a hidden camera show.

So as you're in, that is that.

We've just covered the 22nd of June 1991 episode of WWE Superstars.

Everything's plodding along nicely as always.

Nice to see a debut of the Beverly Brothers.

And, uh, they're now gonna slowly start building up towards SummerSlam for the next couple of months.

But like we said earlier, next week we are doing the second annual Battle of the WWE Superstars.

That'll be a break from the weekly television.

And then the week after that will be in prime time, so that'll cover anything that we missed on next week's show.

But one person will get two things.

It is WWE Superstars, Mankind, and The Undertaker.

So check out the Patreon.

Follow the rules.

But again, if you look around the news world, everybody's focusing on his comment about how they cut pay, how they offered pay cuts to certain people.

And, you know, it wasn't just WWE superstars.

It was also some UFC fighters as well.

But what you probably are not reading on a lot of wrestling news sites is it sounds like this was something that was done early on once the WWE deal was done with TKO and the Netflix deal.

So let's cut his pay.

Yeah, that could absolutely happen.

But the one thing that you're not reading anywhere is his remark that 75% of the WWE superstars came out of NXT.

Now, again, I don't know what the number is.

I've never even thought of that

Do you remember, okay, do you remember the WWE Superstars entrance when O- O- back in the ni- early, early '90s, maybe '90, maybe '91, and, um-

Yeah
