King Bookah...........loved that character.

 

[Keith]

Me, too this is a great day for the Bash 89, and that Hot Fully Loaded card!

Not to be picky Chris but In Your House 2 was just In Your House 2 it had no sub-title.

 

[Chris]

Darn, I must have made that one up.

Everything lists it as the sub that I've seen, but I do think WWE didn't start doing it until 7, although now I think they list it as that.

 

[Deezy]

Why were two of the most over guys in dark matches at In Your House 2?

Too bad Diesel or Michaels didn't draw shit compared to Bret in 94 and that 95 run.
