Pre-show notes:

- Welcome to another retro report, this time in preparation for/celebration of WrestleMania 29. Guess how I picked this one to review? It was either WrestleMania 2, or WrestleMania 9.

- Comments, likes and shares are appreciated. If you like these types of reports, share them around and get them big traffic. I’ll try to do more.

- If you’d like to read another technically “retro” WrestleMania report, be sure to go back and read the Best and Worst of WrestleMania XXVIII Live.

- I’m going to be at the various events surrounding WrestleMania 29 and Mania itself, so if you’re in the New Jersey New York area, find me and throw up the high-five.

Click through for the Best and Worst of WrestleMania 2. Warning: It happens in 1986.

This week’s Sports On TV covers another show people have been requesting since the column’s inception: ‘Boy Meets World,’ the long-running TGIF staple that asked, “if Fred Savage can have a successful television show, shouldn’t his little brother have one as well?”

‘Boy Meets World’ ran for seven seasons from 1993 to 2000 on ABC, and now’s a better time than ever to look back on the show’s 158 episodes. Why? Take it away, Wikipedia!

Former WWF (or WWE, whatever I’m supposed to call it) star Jake “The Snake” Roberts plied his old trade at a benefit in Ohio over the weekend, and things went really well.  TMZ has video of him rambling incoherently to the crowd, which responds with encouraging calls of “You suck!”

According to several sources, the 53-year-old legend was found passed out backstage moments before he was scheduled to perform. We’re told when Snake was woken up, he was aggressive, violent and asking for “an 8-ball.” [...]

During the match, Roberts was clearly unable to perform, barely responding to the barrage of “fake blows” he received from the other wrestler, J.T. Lightning. Around one minute into the match, Roberts’ opponent — clearly frustrated with the situation — whispers to the ref to end the fight. Afterwards, Lightning grabbed the mic and told Roberts, “I’ve wrestled drug addicts … you are a piece of s**t, Snake. You gypped these people. F**k you.”

After the verbal assault, Jake pulled down the front of his pants and exposed his penis to the crowd.

Well what the hell else was he supposed to do?  It’s not like his nickname is Jake the Middle Finger.
