It Came From YouTube

The WWE Vault on Youtube has been pulling out some great, unseen footage lately. Long-rumored events and footage has resurfaced much to the joy of longtime curious fans. Recently, the dug up Yokozuna’s debut. While that might not sound impressive at first, it’s actually his debut before becoming Yokozuna.

Before he was Yoko, he was The Great Kokina. Joined by Wild Samoan Afa, the two are interviewed by “Mean” Gene Okerlund. As an aside, I miss those live interviews with the wide shot of the crowd behind them. It looks like the place is packed and shows the wrestlers and the company as a big deal.

Although he never wrestled on WWF television as The Great Kokina, it’s super cool to see this rare footage. It’s also incredible to hear Afa introduce him as a “big, big, volcano” and Gene stating “His name can’t be volcano,” as if there wasn’t an Earthquake and a Typhoon on the roster.

If Vince was quick enough, he could have renamed him Volcano, teamed him up with the Natural Disasters, and made the biggest three-man team of all time.

Today is Election Day. WWE doesn’t exactly have the best record when it comes to politics, but that shouldn’t stop you from going out to vote.

Before you let your voice be heard, watch this video featuring none other than Mr. Kennedy belittling young voters for not participating in the Iowa Caucus. He even takes a shot at his own mom! She’s standing right there, Ken!

As an aside, if this came out during the Attitude Era, it would have been called something like “Smack Your Caucus”. Thankfully, times have changed.

You’ll be Coffin Dropping your friends into the punch bowl in on time. Don’t forget your primer and Neutrogena wipes!

The stars of NXT got together for a Halloween battle royal in what looks to be a warehouse complete with costumes. We got Liv Morgan as a baby, Ruby Riott as Where’s Waldo, and someone in the cheapest Nacho Libre costume ever. Should’ve gone to Amazon. Which one is your favorite?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Broken Matt Hardy wasn’t my thing. Maybe I didn’t quite get it or Maybe I needed to watch every instance of it to get the genius, but eh, not my thing. I mean, come on.

That being said, seeing him hand out green beans to trick or treaters on Halloween is amazing. What a treat!

Just picture a whacked-out Hardy going to his local farmers market giving an emphatic “DELIGHTFUL” while getting some locally-sourced produce, fresh honey, and a sweater made out of the itchiest wool possible.

The fellas in The New Day decided to have a little Halloween fun for their Trick Or Treat Street Fight by dressing up like The Brood. I have to say, the blonde wigs are a good look on them.

I also have to say:

Brood Day rocks!
