This week on Wrestle Buddies, GameSpot's professional wrestling podcast, our homework is due. For months, Mat Elfring has been watching every episode of WWE Monday Night Raw and every pay-per-view from 1995, and now it's time to look back at WWE's weirdest--and perhaps worst--year of programming.Chris and Mat review the highs and lows from 1995, including the rise of Shawn Michaels to main event superstar, Papa Shango being repackaged as a biker and wannabe ultimate fighter, and the time WWE gave a house to a child--yes, that actually happened. Also, did you know the secret inspiration for Bray Wyatt's WWE character was introduced in 1995? Get ready to meet Waylon Mercy.This is a year that doesn't get talked about much. After all, it's post-Hulkamania running wild, but WWE had yet to launch the Attitude Era. Instead, the "New Generation" as they termed it, is a time where WWE got experimental with its characters and storylines. A lot of them were bad, yes, but it's interesting to look back on a time when the company wasn't afraid to get weird and over-the-top with its product to see what gained traction with the audience. This is definitely a journey you want to join us on.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
