The fact that people care more about Sunny getting bodyshamed than the fact that she múrdered someone and is even considered a danger is just... Where are your priorities?

She was always ugly on the inside and now it's finally shown on the outside. Chris deserved so much better and Shawn was lucky to leave as soon as he did.

Shawn Michaels x Sunny- "Sunny Side Up"

On a "Monday Night Raw" episode that aired at the end of 1997, D Generation X had a match against the Headbangers.

During this match, Shawn Michaels and Triple H both had their long hair hanging down.

World Wrestling Federation diva Sunny was the referee during this match.

The highlight of this match was when Shawn Michaels placed his hands on Sunny and held onto her while he squatted down on the ring, laying her on her stomach on top of his knee.

This really got a pop from many of the fans in the audience---especially male ones.

The fans guessed what Shawn was going to do to Sunny by laying her on his lap.

Sunny was panicking as she laid on Shawn's lap, whereas Shawn with a smile on his face raised one of his hands up and repeatedly began to spank her ass cheeks.

His one hand spanked both of her ass cheeks at the same time.

As he spanked her, she screamed in terror while her hands flailed about and her feet kicked.

Although deep down inside, Sunny was in lust with Shawn and it was fairly obvious.

Fans in the audience---especially male ones---weren't sure if they should be cheering Shawn or booing him.

Sunny was still a hugely popular female sex symbol beloved by the majority of male fans and even some female fans.

Jerry Lawler on the other hand was really happy, screeching with a smile on his face at the commentary table over how jealous he is of Shawn.

"Gives new meaning to Sunny Side Up!" Jerry exclaimed with a smile in his face on commentary.

Shawn could've pulled Sunny's black bicycle shorts down and spanked her ass cheeks sandwiched with a thong in between them, that really would've made the male fans get out of their seats and cheer.

After Shawn was done spanking her for a while, he rolled her off of his lap, to which Sunny pulled herself up and continued refereeing this match.

While Sunny managed many wrestling tagteams in 1996 and one in 1998, she didn't manage any tagteams in 1997, so she couldn't distract Shawn by flirting with him.

By 1998, Shawn couldn't wrestle due to a back injury he had at the beginning of that year, though he did have a match at Wrestlemania that year.

And during the time he wrestled at Wrestlemania that year, Sunny was managing the Legion of Doom 2000.

In 1997, before a match began, Sunny would introduce wrestlers coming down to the ring and announce the winner at the end of the match.

Could she have announced this match without being a referee and still have gotten spanked by Shawn if she interrupted it?

Royal Rumble Marathon: 1998

The Rumble has entered 1998.

Warning, spoilers for past Rumbles.

We are now officially in the Attitude Era so expect shenanigans. I haven’t watched the Attitude Era in over a decade but I’m expecting to feel a lot of retrospective cringe.

The undercard:

We see a recap of the previous two months of Goldust’s activities. This is the era where Goldust dumped Marlena and is now accompanied by Luna Vachon. Dustin has ditched his traditional gold attire and now wears a variety of outfits. Tonight’s special is a lime green/purple-striped singlet tights, purple gloves, green and purple-striped face paint with blue hair.  Dustin is also wearing a leopard-print thong over his tights. Luna’s attire is a black/red bikini combo with a clear plastic skirt/tutu. She’s also wearing flesh-colored tights. Luna has half her face covered with the traditional Goldust colors. The other half of Luna’s face has her tattoos.

Goldust (with Luna) vs Vader. Match was fine. The ending comes when Vader (with Luna on his back) delivers a top-rope Vader bomb to Goldust. Dustin is always fun and Luna continues to be a badass. This era of Dustin was crazy but fun. You never knew what Goldust was going to wear.

Steve Austin arrives, threatens to whoop Michael Coles’ ass. The Godwinns are in search of Austin.

We have a six-man lucha libre match: Battalion, Tarantula, El Torito vs Max Mini, Mosaic, and Nova. Sunny is the special guest referee. Fun match.

Soon after this, Sunny’s life begins to spiral, leading to her dismissal from the WWF and a lifetime of self-destruction. It’s a shame as Sunny was a talented performer. Of course, the true tragedy is the man she killed due to her drunk driving.

The Nation of Domination is now in search of Steve Austin. Farooq tells Mark Henry that he has to “prove himself”.

Mike Tyson hangs out with Shane and Vince. I don’t care about Mike Tyson. I don’t care about boxing. Tyson’s rape conviction, and his abusive tendencies, do not make me excited to see him on my wrestling programs. Of course, sitting next to Vince makes Tyson look like an altar boy by comparison.

Recap of the Ken Shamrock-Nation of Domination feud. The Rock is still with the Nation at this point, Mark Henry has newly joined.

Rock promo where he advises Bill Clinton to “not lay down with dogs” (referencing Paula Jones, and yes, the Rock names her specifically) and to “cover his willy”. Remember those cringe moments I said we’d encounter in the Attitude Era. Calling the woman suing a man for sexual harassment, even a President, a “dog” is one.  

Ken Shamrock vs the Rock for the Intercontinental Championship.  The Rock wins via DQ. Shamrock attacks referee Mike Chioda in the aftermath. Fine match.

The Boricuas are now searching for Steve Austin but find the D.O.A. instead. This is the era of multiple factions – mostly centering on race – were running wild in the WWE. Los Boricuas, the Nation of Domination, The Truth Commission, and D.O.A. (Disciples of Apocalypse) were the main factions.

The New Age Outlaws vs the Legion of Doom for the Tag Team titles. The Legion wins via DQ. Back-to-back DQ victories is a questionable call on a pay per view.

The Rumble entrants, in order of appearance:

Cactus Jack

Chainsaw Charlie (Terry Funk)

Tom Brandi

The Rock

Mosh of the Headbangers

Phineas Godwinn

8-Ball (Don Harris)

Ahmed Johnson

Mark Henry

Skull

Savio Vega (accompanied by the Boricuas)

Farooq

Dude Love

Chainz (Brian Lee)

Vader

Steve Austin wins again, making him the 3rd multiple time winner – Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels are the others.

Rumble Highlights: Cactus-Charlie brawl (minus the unprotected chairshots), Rock-Austin outside the ring brawl and in-ring finale

Rumble Feuds: Cactus vs Charlie, Rock vs Shamrock, Owen vs Jarrett, Owen vs Hunter

More cringe moments: the unprotected, non-gimmicked chairshots Funk and Cactus gave each other. Please, no! Did the Harris brothers have their Nazi tattoos yet? (I can’t see clearly but if so, that is worse than cringe).

First-time Rumblers:  Tom Brandi, Mosh, Steve Blackman, Kurrgan, Ken Shamrock, Thrasher, Mark Henry, Chainz

Surprise Entrants: Honky Tonk Man, 3 Faces of Foley

Quickest Elimination: Tom Brandi

Most Eliminations: Steve Austin

Unite to Eliminate the Big Man spot: Kurrgan

The final match of the ppv isn’t the Rumble (which I dislike). The final match is Shawn Michaels vs the Undertaker for the World championship in a casket match.

Shawn and Taker’s previous match was the first Hell In A Cell match. A casket match seems to be a step down in intensity.

Shawn is accompanied by Hunter and Chyna.  The New Age Outlaws and the Boricuas attack the Undertaker but are run off by Kane. Kane then attacks the Undertaker and throws him into the casket. Kane and Paul Bearer lock the casket and set it on fire.

Shawn wins but severely injures his back when he bumps on the casket during the match. This would lead to Shawn’s post-Wrestlemania match.

Rating: 6 out of 10. Solid undercard, fun Rumble, good main event

Wrestlers and others who have passed on: Howard Finkel, Vader, Luna Vachon, Tarantula (Espectrito II), Torito (Espectrito), the Legion of Doom, Terry Funk, Chyna, Paul Bearer

Total number of deceased individuals: 11 (down 3 from the previous Rumble)

SUNNY-BURNED 

The Bodydonnas & Godwinns Won’t Be The Last To Feel Her Sting

First she was with The Bodydonnas. Then The Godwinns. Now it’s The Smokin’ Gunns. Sunny is on a power trip that’s wreaking havoc with the WWF tag team ranks. The time is coming for old enemies to unite and stop her! 

By Andy Rodriguez

It’s usually a compliment to say that someone has a sunny disposition. Say that to anyone in the WWF, however, and you might get punched in the nose. 

Because whomever you talk to will inevitably hear “sunny” as “Sunny,” and the last thing most of them want is to be compared to the most controversial manager to hit the federation in years. 

Sunny has made a lot of enemies in a short amount of time. From the day she entered the WWF as the manager of Skip, Sunny has joyously antagonized fans, wrestlers, and her fellow managers. Right at the start, she let everyone know she intended to dominate the WWF the way she had dominated Smoky Mountain.

She hasn’t achieved total domination yet, but she has created a lot of chaos. Three of the WWF’s top tag teams–The Bodydonnas, Godwinns, and Smokin’ Gunns–have experienced firsthand Sunny’s particular brand of turmoil.

When The Bodydonnas–Skip and Zip–captured the World tag team title at WrestleMania XII, Sunny received most of the credit for their success. But when The Bodydonnas lost the belts to Henry and Phineas Godwinn, Sunny became very dissatisfied. 

[Skip gets lifted up (above) and thrown down by Henry Godwinn (right) during a Bodydonnas-Godwinn match in the spring. It’s time these two teams put aside their differences and went after a certain common enemy–a devious female enemy.]

“She has zero patience,” said broadcaster Dox Hendrix, “and she didn’t want anything to do with them afterward.”

Instead of trying to figure out how to regain the belts for her team, Sunny convinced Phineas, who has a tremendous crush on her, to signa paper making her his co-manager for the Godwinns’ title defense against The Smokin’ Gunns at In Your House VIII.

Her secret aim? Infiltrate the Godwinns’ camp and learn all about their strengths and weaknesses.

On the night of the match with the Gunns, when she climbed up on the ring apron during the bout, Billy Gunn grabbed her and gave her a passionate kiss, one she enjoyed. As Phinease watched, heartbroken, Bart Gunn suplexed him and scored the pin to give the Gunns the title. 

Again, Sunny went with the winners. The next night, she made her debut as the Gunns’ manager and watched them defeat The Bodydonnas.

[Sunny could probably predict when Skip would try a legdrop against Phineas Godwinn (left) … or when Henry would try to slingshot Skip into a corner (bottom left). She knows both teams so well, and that’s what makes her so dangerous.]

“I go where the money is!” she explained and exclaimed. “I go where the gold is!” With that attitude, Sunny has left some confused people in her wake.

Skip is demanding that Sunny, in his words, “come to her senses.” He even claims there is a clause in the contract he and Zip have with Sunny that prevents her from managing other teams. He’s so angry he’s ready to take her to court and is accusing her of having “mental problems.”

Phineas Godwinn, on the other hand, is just lovesick. As far as he’s concerned, his sweetheart just deserted him.

The Gunns, though, are feeling good. Billy and Bart have the belts, and they’re willing to credit Sunny for their good fortune.

“She’s the best,” said Billy. “We're really excited. She’s going to take us a long way.”

Sunny is taking them all right, her critics say, but probably not where they want to go. She’s taking them for a ride.

“Those boys are pretty naive,” Jim Cornette said. “After what she did to those other teams, do they really think she’ll stick by them? They lose and she’ll be out of there in two seconds. She pretty much admits that hearself!”

Others say Sunny’s plans are even more devious, that she is quietly putting together scouting reports on all the teams in the WWF. It makes sense, too. She has managed The Bodydonnas, Godwinns, and Gunns and , by her own admission, hed meetings with The New Rockers. That means she will be an invaluable strategist for whichever team she manages. And if one team fails her, she can move on to one of the others.

She isn’t above switching sides at the drop of a hat.

“I’m convinced that really is her plan,” said Tony Anthony, who wrestled against Sunny-managed wrestlers in Smoky Mountain. “She’ll play all these guys for fools for her own personal gain.”

Of course, Sunny dismisses the criticism, but admits she wants to know as much as possible about the WWF tag team scene, and maybe more than that.

“Knowledge is power,” Said Cornette. “The more she knows, the more successful she’ll be. I also wouldn’t be surprised if she got back into singles wrestling.”

[Henry Godwinn applies a wristlock on Zip while Phineas uses his elbow on him. Sunny is probably enjoying watching these teams do battle now. For the moment she’s worried about The Smokin’ Gunns holding on the WWF tag belts.]

So it’s possible, then, that Sunny will ultimately try to do the singles circuit what she has done on the tag team scene. She may want to hop, skip, and jump among stars like Shawn Michaels, Goldust, and Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

It’s a frightening possibility.

“Before she considers taking it that far,” said one WWF wrestler, “she should be stopped. Somebody has to beat The Gunns! And if either The Bodydonnas or Godwinns do it, they both have to tell her to take a hike if she wants to manage them.”

“It won't be easy to keep Sunny out of power,” Cornette said. She’s ruthless. And it’ll be just as hard to get The Bodydonnas and Godwinns to agree on something. Those boys hate each other!”

If they can’t work together against her, a very power-hungry manager may be on her way to achieving her wish for complete domination of a federation. 

If they do, she may be reduced to merely posing in swimsuits.

[The Bodydonnas might have a new manager, but our guess is that they long for the day when Sunny will be back in their corner. That’s the last thing they need.]
