Does anyone know the name of that funny theme WCW played a lot in control centers. Used in this clip from the 33 second mark until the 42 second mark. I'd love to listen to the full version of that theme.
Who the Hell decided to make a Coal Miner glove match instead of a cage match, or first blood match, or Street fight, or loser leave town match !!?? Dusty !!?? Man that was horrible.
Meltzer's explanation in the Observer report on the show: blood was a non-starter at this point in time. They went with Coal Miner's Glove because it had never been run on national TV or PPV before, and it was felt that fans wouldn't feel cheated about seeing that type of match with no juice.
@timmy8271b It was a shame that Jake quit the WWE when he did, because just a few months prior to leaving the WWE Jake was peaking as a heel with his feud againist the Macho Man in the last 4 months of 91 and I had never seen Jake look that good before as a face or a heel.
I am thinking maybe Jake wanted more money and wanted to be a main event heel and maybe that is why he could have left. Because Jake spent about 5 years or so also being that upper card face below main event status
@Rvdecwthug and he helped elevate a lot of heels to main event status and he really opened the gates for many heels to become main eventers and Jake was the go to guy to make them main eventers. Every wrestler that he feuded with as a face went onto become a much better heel and he elevated their stock and they all benefitted greatly from feuding with Jake.
Jake may have had his share of problems out of the ring which makes it easy to forget how important he was to the WWE during their heyday

@JonathanVonErich I've heard that the spinning of the wheel was done live and they didn't know what the match would be ahead of time.

Jake looks like he stole one of Vince's hideous early 90's track jackets on his way out of the WWF

I remember being disappointed it was a coal miner's glove match. The Barbarian got a world title shot? not my idea of a main event.

I was Surprised to learn that Rick Rude was Suspended from the WWF. Maybe that's what caused him to go to WCW.

@MrAaronLadner He quit WWF over a money issue. Same with Jake Roberts.

Why did Jake "The Snake" go to WCW in 1992? I like him better in the WWF.

They need to go back to this 4mat. The ringside announcers shouldn't do the ppv rundown.

I love Rick Rude's promo. "I'm about to go where Bo don't know and what I'm about to do would make Neon Dion look like a Pion!"

In my opinion they could have picked a better match for this PPV..Great card,bad main event..Coal Minners Glove Match was not that HOT..??

@tkshk1904 Didn't that match end up on the Botchamania reel? Or it must have been some other Coal Miner's Glove match?.
