So Missy Hyatt was in WWF in 88 and did a talk show Missy's Manor. Was any of this broadcast? Is there any of it online? Also what shows were they on?

This is from Wikipedia: While still under UWF contract, Hyatt was contacted about working in the World Wrestling Federation. Vince McMahon wanted Hyatt to replace the recently departed Rowdy Roddy Piper and his segment, Piper's Pit, with a new segment called "Missy's Manor." The show was a disaster and McMahon asked Hyatt to become a Federette. However, she thought the role was beneath her, and she went back to the UWF.
From what I can remember, the only segments were filmed in the ring at house shows. I remember seeing a picture of her standing in a WWF ring in a copy of either "The Wrestler" or "Wrestling Insider" years ago.

Of course it was a disaster. Vince wanted Eddie Gilbert in the segment as Missy's "assistant" but he couldn't get out of his UWF contract. And let's be honest, no one wants a Hyatt without a Hot Stuff.
No, I don't think they ever aired the segment.

No, never aired. Would have been terrible though.

I know there's a cover of The Wrestler from 1987 and it says "Will Missy kiss and tell in the wwf".

I know Eddie Gilbert was there as a jobber in the early 80s, but I always wonder how he, Sting, and the Midnight Express would've made out in the WWF. Of course it was a disaster. Vince wanted Eddie Gilbert in the segment as Missy's "assistant" but he couldn't get out of his UWF contract. And let's be honest, no one wants a Hyatt without a Hot Stuff.

I was at a house show where Gilbert wrestled S.D. Jones in the first or one of the first matches of the night. Gilbert went over Jones for a leapfrog, and accidentally hit his balls on S.D.'s head. They actually had to stop the match because Gilbert was hurt too bad from it. It was a mistake, not any kind of an angle. They got on the mic and said Jones didn't want to continue since his friend was hurt.
I think Eddie was in line for a WWF push when he was in a pretty bad car accident after falling asleep at the wheel after tv tapings. The reason he wore a beard was to cover scars from the accident.
