I've always found the censored version to be more enjoyable. Bleeps are just flat-out funny. We all know the words, but with the bleeps we get a bit more of the "Oh, those naughty scamps!" feeling. Plus, the censoring (particularly when they covered up HHH's mouth) caused you to focus on Shawn's facial reactions, which are hilarious. Even Chyna's eye roll is great. Never underestimate the power of the bleep!
This was reissued on DVD when DX reformed in 2006. It's a good program, but the bonus matches go the extra mile, including the lost late-97 classic between Shawn and Owen from an episode of RAW. It's awesome.
A good song for that sort of thing is actually "Cowboy" by Kid Rock. If you listen to the censored version it's ridiculous the bells, whistles, beeps, and other sound effects he used to cut out all the naughty words. It's almost an art.
I'm probably in the minority but the thing that made me like DX was the Road Dogg. For me it was a better heel faction as they seemed more like stuck up college douche bags then the rebellious faction WWE would later say they were. Shawn didn't really grow on me until after his return from back injury, HHH has always been better as an elitist bad guy, Chyna standing there with her mouth shut was her best role. While Austin came over as a deserving guy that was fighting against an unfair boss DX just seemed to me like they were acting up spoiled kids because they had to wait for attention for once.
and they succeeded, why he was cutting a babyface promo against Chris Masters the next night I will never know. I stopped being a regular viewer for several years because of that.
I hated the Shawn 1 month heel run. Although I did like the initial heel turn in the Smackdown tag match and the Larry King skit. Him going back to face right after the match made no sense to me. I guess it took one match to "respect" Hogan. And don't get me started on the overbumping Shawn did in that match....
I thought I remember reading back at the time that Shawn really didn't want to be a heel long term, which a guy at that point in his career, you're not going to tell Shawn Michaels "you have to be a heel or else".

ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the power of the bleep!
I agree. Just the sound of the bleeps in quick succession are funny.
ReplyDeleteThis is censored! It's not the entire bit...

ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Speaking of Kid Rock, I used to hate him but I like his recent sound. Whodathunkit!
ReplyDeleteShawn's "I WAS UP! ALL! NIGHT!" is the fucking best.

ReplyDeleteI bet Hunter had a hole in the back of his trousers where China was fingering his bum hole during his speech
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how Chyna kept a straight face there.
ReplyDeleteseek help
ReplyDeleteseek a sense of humour
ReplyDeletethat was my sense of humor. clearly you found my joke as funny as I found your's...
ReplyDeleteSomewhere up in Heaven, George Carlin is smiling.. and then he's wondering how in the Hell he ended up there.
ReplyDeletein that case I will repeat - seek a sense of humour
ReplyDeleteThe video makes me even sadder Shawn didn't get a heel run during his big comeback in 00's. He was just killing it here.
ReplyDeleteThey tried with Hogan.
ReplyDeleteThe jerk store called. They're out of you.
ReplyDeletePlastic surgery?
ReplyDeleteand they succeeded, why he was cutting a babyface promo against Chris Masters the next night I will never know. I stopped being a regular viewer for several years because of that.
ReplyDeleteShawn with a full head of hair, HHH without the HGH enhanced Cro-Magnon forehead and Chyna looking....well like Chyna. Classic.
ReplyDeleteIt worked for this song:

ReplyDeleteI'm just surprised she wasn't even close to laughing; that was some funny shit.
ReplyDeleteSounds like I'm in demand!
ReplyDeleteShawn's maniacal laugh at the end is the best part.
