[jdmannfla]

"I'm not surprised they're doing real estate these days" Which was probably an inside jab at the fact that Dory was a real estate broker on the side

[SeanOBriain]

I actually had Killer Bees wrestler figures when I was a kid :D

[Derby14]

Imagine the creativity needed to name such an event...

[seikogoldwatch2009]

@Derby14 Imagine the creativity needed to book the shit we see today in WWE rings. Old WWF rules.

[Derby14]

@seikogoldwatch2009 Indeed!

[Derby14]

@seikogoldwatch2009 I couldn't agree more. I believe Howard Finkel is often credited with coining the term "Wrestlemania"...it wouldn't surprise me if he was also the brain powe behind the term "Big Event"...

1:14 at ringside? Is that Mario, of Mushroom Kingdom fame?

[gjnice21]

its so funny how didnt the ref know who it was with or without the masks i think brunzell was taller and weighed alot more and had different physiques. i love to be a ref oh i didnt see the tag

[wtf66611]

[snowpanth]

The Big Event?wow what an original name

[McMahonHater]

@snowpanth I never heard anybody use it before or since.

[max15military]

@McMahonHater Actually THE BIG EVENT was a promo for major movie premieres on NBC in 1979

[buttercremehonda]

@snowpanth still better than Capital Punishment, Money in the Bank or TLC

[wwechristianpeep]

@buttercremehonda and hell in the cell and extreme rules

[JIMMYLINE]

I can still hear Jesse Ventura yelling "WHY IS THIS LEGAL? when he'd announce a Killer Bees match and the masks would come out! Too bad Ventura wasn't a commentator for this event.

[chessarama]

Gives you an idea of how The Fink would sound if he became a baseball announcer instead.
