    Ricky Santana Here's the entire bracket for anyone interested: http://prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/...html#worldtag92

    He was already hurt, he broke it in several places in a jobber match so they did this to cover it up. I think in the KC Timeline he said they gimmicked the door somehow with a 2x4 to make it look real. They later showed the jobber match because they're WCW and they do stupid shit like that and dubbed commentary like "Oh he's really messing up his injured hand"

    Ok, I'll say it, "He's gonna...he's gonna.....HE'S GONNA PUUUUKE"

    Was this around the time Disney supposedly offered him a deal to make a few movies? Or was that later (or earlier)?

    I used to stare at those pictures for hours like it was one of those "spot the difference" games. I figured they just took the pictures twice. Even photoshop in 2013 can't look that good. I remember the WWF magazine that came out afterwards EXPOSING Flair as a liar. I'd love to find it and scan it because even as a 9 year old I found their explanations laughable. "See the R on the towel that Ric says stands for RIC....well guess what? It stands for RANDY!!" like...yeah but it could also be R for Ric. There was also some breakdown of the videos on the shelf that conclusively proved it was taken in Savage's house, I believe something like "Look World Tour 91 is on the shelf...Ric claims Liz was his BEFORE Savage, yet that's a new tape available now on Coliseum home video wherever fine videos are sold!"

    I don't think that started until maybe January/February.

    He still worked on WWF house shows in Canada as Jacques Reageau but would still do the whole "I'm the mountie!" schtick during matches which is pretty cool.

    They had to have hurt more, they only changed it because it worked better for TV. And it does. It doesn't bother me the way it does most people.

    This was like right at the exact moment I became a big mark and unfortunately I couldn't talk my parents into renting it (my neighbour rented all the WWF PPVs this year) so I remember dying of curiosity to find out if Sting won. Kids nowadays probably just stream it if their parents won't rent it. Lucky bastards. I didn't even get to actually watch this until 5 or 6 years ago because no stores around here had it. But oh boy did I have it played out in my mind from the pictures in WCW magazine.

    They played on the same team (Tampa) in the USFL as well. When my dad was moving out of the house he lived in for 30 years he found a USFL program that listed Larry Pfohl on the Memphis Showboats. What a great team name!

    Glad I wasn't alone on having a morbid fascination with seeing Dragon Master work.

    This is interesting to me because for the first time ever I'm watching old WWWF. I started in 1975 and am on 1980. Dusty was over way more than I ever figured he could have been up north, but I agree with jdw, he couldn't have done it for as long as Backlund did and I agree that there's no one (that I've seen) that could've. I mean, technically, Backlund didn't succeed at it either. It was just a serviceable run as champion. The crazy part is how long they let it go on. They coulda abandoned ship around late 79 - 80 because there were plenty of heels that could've held it for a bit to give it to someone mentioned like DiBiase (who is popping up on some of the stuff I'm watching now in 80 and looks absolutely fantastic) or Steamboat (also showing up albeit as a tag team guy). Their patience worked out for them though because when they did get it to a intermediary champion it was to get the belt on the person that would change their fortunes so I guess there wouldn't be too much "what ifs" from the McMahon's financial perspective. Butterfly effect etc.

    According to Meltzer it was promote by Grizzly Smith which makes this even weirder.

    I like when Hogan small packages the interfering Mr Perfect.

    Inoki vs Singh was scheduled for the Dome show but Hase went to parliament and "demanded" to wrestle Inoki. Inoki said he'd have to get Singh out of the match so Hase went to Canada to challenge him which led to this match.

    "I've got 2 words for ya: Come here pal!......well I guess that was 3" I love this spot with the babyfaces cheering him. Seriously though, what were the Dangerous Alliance doing back there? PN News beat them out there!

    When did they start dimming the lights during Taker's entrance? They didn't here and I guess I never noticed that they didn't do that from the start.

    Shawn was injured during that time and I think they even gave their notice during the summer too. Fun trivia: Shane Douglas, of all people, took Shawn's place in the Rockers on house shows during the summer because school was out and thus he could wrestle.
  19. BackToBionic
    Sheesh, they weren't even trying with that "digitization". I bet the casual fans were baffled as to why Flair was proudly displaying his tag belt.

    Moondogs: South American champs!

    Gene: "You are a sick man Jake Roberts!" Jake: "Thank you very much"
  22. BackToBionic
    I do remember him saying that but in Jake's AOW podcast he basically admitted he killed some of the snakes ("they commited suicide by smashing their heads against the wall" as he put it) so this snake which was baited into becoming aggressive was probably doomed either way.

    With that get-up the first thing Tony thinks is that it may be someone from Japan but the first thing I think is that it's the Dragon Master from USWA. I love those tag belts, btw. They kept those around for a while (until the side plate fell off). This is a really, really good match for sure.
  24. BackToBionic
    Eric Embry gives the reaction of everyone watching. God he's so awesome. The guy playing SOA was in one of my favourite USWA segments. When he was unmasked by Bull Pain in a really weird moment the announcers were like THAT'S HE-MAN RANDY LEWIS!!! even though no one had a clue who he was they kept repeating it with the same amount of conviction as you would say "That's Bill Clinton!" if you saw our ex-president walking down the street.

    For years, my only knowledge of this angle was through the Marvel comics. I have to say The Ghoul costume was better than The Phantom.
