Loss Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Cactus Jack does the final hard sell for Halloween Havoc. He explains that all the potential matches that could happen as a result of Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal are dear friends -- Falls Count Anywhere, Barbed Wire match. This is a good promo destroyed by WCW production of him spinning the wheel in slow motion with ominous music playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I dind't mind the spin the wheel in slow motion. One of the best Cactus promos of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Spin the Wheel is back for Cactus/Vader at Havoc. Race interrupts a Cactus promo and wants to the Spin the Wheel. Cactus DDTs him on the floor and spins the wheel himself but it is a big cliff hanger as show goes off air before we find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Cactus talks of the time he rode a bike with no brakes into a barbed wire fence--and liked it so much he clipped a piece and kept it under his pillow. Some chilling imagery from Jack as he describes the various matches on the wheel as "his closest friends." Harley Race comes out to rebut and gets leveled with a double arm DDT on the floor! TO BE CONTINUED AT HALLOWEEN HAVOC. Yeah, I'm guessing this was originally going to be a mini-movie before that concept got axed. Speaking of concepts getting axed, I never understood why the Spin the Wheel gimmick couldn't have been an annual thing for Havoc. They really couldn't have incorporated the wheel into Hogan/Flair?

garretta Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 This may be one of the best promos I've ever heard from any face of Foley. The idea that a seven year-old could sleep better with a piece of the barbed wire that had almost maimed him under his pillow is truly disturbing, especially to a parent. I'm only sorry I missed part of the story due to a glitch in the original tape. Isn't Harley a little old to be taking bumps on his head, especially on concrete? Why didn't they just have Mick carve him up with the barbed wire while they were at it? I appreciate the fact that Harley wants to stay involved, but enough is enough already. If Vader doesn't need a mouthpiece, then let him come out by himself from now on. Pete asked why Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal didn't make it into the Hogan era. The answer is that the days of Hogan wrestling anything approaching a gritty, realistic match were long over. He was there to perform his routine (whether face or heel), get his desired reaction, and go home without breaking too much of a sweat. The idea of him bleeding or taking the hard bumps that a lot of these matches required would have probably sent him running for his lawyers, be he Red and Yellow or Hollywood. The last time I clearly remember seeing him bleed was at Mania V against Savage, although I may have missed an isolated incident or two.

soup23 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Amazing promo by Foley really setting the stage for tonight. It was creepy and demonic and hit the right tones. He spins the wheel and I guess Texas Death Match isn't as bad as Coal Minor Glove but still not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
