Things are looking up for the WWF, and Vince wants everyone to know! Because, you know, 1995 is well remembered for being the year that they made their big comeback.

(Carrying on! Another one written on or about 09.22.19 as I try to get as much done as possible in advance.)
And now…the WWF is IN YOUR HOUSE!
(Ironically, Diesel’s title reign was tanking crowds so badly that they were literally shooting TV in people’s houses by that point…)

(Hello from the past! I’m actually writing this a couple of weeks in advance so I can have some material banked for when I’m at my work conference, so if I make any horribly inappropriate remarks about someone who just died on the weekend or whatever, it’s because this was originally done on 9/22/19).

The headline for this one is “Wrestlemania Tanks”, so I can only assume that Rusev was involved somehow?

So after Dave takes a week off, it’s a DOUBLE ISSUE featuring Wrestlemania XI, the show that drew so much money that Dave needed a second issue to contain it all!

I’m not even sure when this is getting posted this week, but it’s being written in the morning of Wrestlemania in case anyone dies or whatever and jokes become horribly inappropriate. Always a risk in this business.
Anyway, it’s once again the BREAKING POINT FOR THE BUSINESS this week. Seems to happen a lot.
