The SmarK Legacy Rant for Monday Night RAW – May 10 1993

The SmarK Legacy Rant for Monday Night RAW – April 19 1993

- Live from New Orleans, LA
- Your hosts are JR, Todd, Cole, King, Striker & Josh.
The SmarK Retro Re-Rant for WWF Wrestlemania IX
- Figured we might as well go whole hog and redo this one, since the buildup on the RAWs I’ve been doing has been towards this show. Plus I wanted to work in all the Anthology versions of WM anyway. Can you believe it’s been ten years since [...]
The SmarK Legacy Rant for Monday Night RAW – March 22 1993
- Live from New York again.
- Your hosts are Vince, Randy and Rob.
The SmarK Legacy Rant for Monday Night RAW – March 15 1993
- Live from Poughkeepsie, New York. Apparently a giant blizzard has prevented taping at the Manhattan Center, so this marks the first show shot somewhere else.

The SmarK Legacy Rant for Monday Night RAW – March 8 1993
- Prerecorded from New York.
- Hosted by Vince, Macho & Rob.
The SmarK Legacy Rant for Monday Night RAW – March 1 1993

- Live from New York
- Your hosts are Vince & Rob & Macho
Ten years after Owen Hart’s tragic death, Scott Keith puts together a compilation of what he feels are Owen’s 10 best WWF matches, in order of quality, taken from his various reviews over the years. “Historical significance aside for the moment,” writes Scott, “these are just flat-out his best in-ring efforts in the WWF. Feel free to view any of them and judge for yourself, of course, and enjoy a bit of Owen while you do so.”

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Primetime Wrestling – February 11 1988

- Taped from Toronto, ON
- Your hosts are Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse Ventura
The SmarK DVD Rant for The Greatest Stars of the 90s
- Hosted by Tazz. This is similar to the 80s DVD in that it’s broken down into a series of mini-biographies on the stars of the decade, but it’s one big documentary disc first, followed by a pair of bonus match discs.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling – October 25 1986
- So this is the last rant on World Championship Wretling before 24/7 goes away, and in a sad bit of synchronicity, this is the show where we learn of Magnum TA’s fate.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for WCW Monday Nitro – December 22 1997
I think it would be interesting if review the current and the next episode of WCW Nitro before WWE 24/7 gets taken off your system. The current episode is the infamous episode where the NWO takes apart the set and it becomes NWO Nitro. [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling – December 2 1981
- Hosted by Bob Caudle and David Crockett
- Unfortunately I only got three episodes of this before the end of 24/7 on Sasktel, so enjoy this last Mid-Atlantic rant.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Prime Time Wrestling – February 1 1988
Man Scott, no Primetime rant? I remember you used to do them, i’d always come here and find out how long the match was because you time it, plus i like to hear your views on them. And since your cable company is taking [...]
The SmarK Retro Rant for WWF Wrestlemania VI – Anthology Edition!
- So after years of only having the Coliseum version of this show, I finally got the Wrestlemania Anthology, giving me the full bloated PPV versions of 6-10 on five glorious double-sided DVDs. I actually did see this show live on the big screen in [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant – Large and In Charge!
- Yeah, so it’s my last month of 24/7, and what do I get? "Classic" big man matches hosted by the Great Khali. What is this, a rib on me personally or something? Might as well go out reviewing, I guess.
The SmarK Rant – The Worst Wrestlemania Matches EVER
Scott, any chance of a Top Ten Worst? the list for potential candidates has grown sizably over the last few years, and the commentary always gives the matches some sort of value.
Yeah, sure, why not. Here’s the ground rules, though, to keep it fair:
The SmarK Rant – Best Wrestlemania Matches EVER
- So yeah, Undertaker v. Shawn Michaels ruled, but just how hard did it rule? For sake of comparison, here’s my listing of my current Top 10 best matches in Wrestlemania history.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling – October 18 1986
- So we’re into the home stretch now for this show, as there’s two left before Sasktel pulls the channel at the end of the month, and it’s kind of fitting because this is getting close to the point where I originally started watching [...]
The SmarK Rant for WWE Wrestlemania 25
- Live from Houston, TX
- Your hosts are JR, Cole and the King
The SmarK DVD Rant for Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows
At one point in Paul Jay’s fantastic documentary about Bret Hart’s last days in the WWF, Bret comments that the promotion had become like a prison to him. A prison where he had the nicest cell and where he had the run of the place thanks [...]
The SmarK DVD Rant for The New and Improved D-X!
- Here’s an interesting one that I found for cheap, and it was interesting to me because all this "New D-X" stuff is exactly the period when I stopped watching WWE entirely, so it’s a rare three-disc set of stuff where I’ve never seen ANY of [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Houston Show – November 26 1986
- So unfortunately the countdown to the end begins here, as Sasktel will be dropping WWE 24/7 after April, which means I’ll have to switch to the online version instead.
- Taped from Houston, TX. I guess this ties into Wrestlemania 25? [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling – October 11 1986
- God, it’s been a lean month for content thus far on WWE 24/7, and with only a few updates this week and a 33-minute episode of WCW at that, there’s not gonna be much new stuff from me, either. In case [...]
The SmarK Retro Rant for WWF Wrestlemania X-7
- Live from Houston, TX
- Your hosts are Jim Ross & Paul Heyman
- So this is it, the peak of North American wrestling and the point from which you can draw a clear line downwards again, quality-wise. This is the start of [...]
Oddly enough, I never did an actual rant on this show last year, so with it airing on WWE 24/7 it seems like a good enough time to revisit it.
- Live from Orlando, FL.
- Your hosts are JR, King, Cole, yada yada.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Monday Night RAW – December 15 1997
- Taped from Durham, New Hampshire.
- HOUR #1!
- Your hosts are Jim Ross, Kevin Kelly and Michael Cole.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling – October 4 1986
- Your hosts are Tony & David. This is likely taped before the Omni show with the US tag title tournament they’ve been hyping for weeks, so no mention of the results or even the show here.
