Just replace that with the thought of Elvira's titties - another annoying, but slightly more tolerable Mania II mammary memory.

That helps some, but I thought Elvira was hotter out of costume (the motorcycle mama in Pee Wee's Big Adventure).

I'll have to find a picture. I was never a Pee Wee fan; I vaguely remember any of his cinema triumphs.

Did you catch his one-man performance at the local cinema?  ;D

Did she do any more commentary, besides that with Ventura and Lord Alfred Hayes, during the Hogan-Bundy cage match?

Speaking of "old-school-gimmicks", why don't they bring back the old-school steel cage? The last time I saw a cage match with those jungle-gym-type bars was in 1999 (Austin vs. McMahon, In Your House: St. Valentine's Day Massacre). Those bars were black, though, not blue. It's the one with Big Show, hiding under the ring.

Eadie was definitely a big dude; hard to believe he was the "smallest" of the Machines in WWF.

He auctioned off some pieces of Masked Superstar ring gear for charity, and I've seen pictures of him at the random legends fest as the M-S, but I think lately he's worked/appeared as Ax with Darsow.



During the machines era, Eadie was one of the originals but who was the other? Not the Piper and Hogan machines etc etc but the original 2?

Edit - other one was Blackjack Mulligan....gotta love google

I have it on great authority that Mr. America was actually Hulk Machine.

To this day, I can't understand the purpose of that.
