    I still have that ring and the Hulk Hogan sleeping bag and God knows how many of those action figures I've had over the years.
  2. BackToBionic
    Is that the one that was run by Grizzly Smith?
  3. BackToBionic
    Yes, he's the new WWF champion but he has to celebrate with a lavender belt so did he really win?
  4. BackToBionic
    It's too bad Flair never pulled out his magic tricks again.

    My favourite part is when Santana comes out Monsoon and Piper are just gushing over how great a guy he is and what a class act he is. Then Warrior comes out and they're silent through his entire entrance before Monsoon finally breaks the silence with something like "What a match this will be!" Kills me every time.

    Sue me, I don't think it was THAT BAD. Yes it was overhyped but I think the fan reaction is what killed it dead. All they were gonna use it for was a Wild Cat Willie type thing, supposedly not as an actual wrestler. Definitely not worse than magic shows the Black Scorpion was doing at the same time.

    It's a shame because this crowd is electric too. The opening match (Freebirds vs Southern Boys) was just ok but they were LITERALLY HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS over it. Don't cry for Jacksonville though, their next big event was the 92 WarGames PPV so it evened out.

    I've been waiting years for them to rework this gimmick. Nowadays the wrestler could stall a match while he consults his app to draw heat. Then 20 years from now our children can laugh about how ridiculous and outdated that is.

    I had a WCW magazine that had a clear photo of Windham as Sting and even there he was passable so I think it was well-done by the wrestlers. It's just that the storyline was pretty convoluted that made this fall apart.
  10. BackToBionic
    That was just terrible.

    The fans were real, the 100s were courtesy of Blackjack Lanza.

    They didn't show it but he also dumped dirt all over him too. They cut right as he's reaching into the bag for it.

    Buddy Landell is pretty high. Scott Steiner couldn't make the top ten despite his gauntlet wins. Guess it would've been too much for him to be in both rankings.
  14. BackToBionic
    I THINK they called an audible before/during the show to make it 45 mins because there was a typhoon hitting Japan and fans were filing in late and this was one of the few "good" matches on this schmaltz-y card and they wanted to please the fans by giving them a good match.

    The Scorpion wrestling is Al Perez. The "real" Scorpion after the match is Angel of Death.

    If they're "the greatest rock and roll band in the world" how come they're staying at a Holiday Inn? Kidding aside, I'm a big Freebird mark and agree that this is as close to "old" Freebirds as we get.

    I can't take these seriously because all I hear is The Shockmaster.

    Those Almanacs got me some cool stuff too because in the mid 90s (before the internet was anything that I had even heard of) there was a wrestling talk show that gave away prizes for answering questions like "Who did so-and-so beat for such-and-such title?" or "Where did this PPV take place?" or they'd give a real name and you'd guess their kayfabe name. I won so many times (usually with the help of the Almanac) they instituted the "You can only win once a month" rule. Got some cool stuff like some (now rare) action figures that I never opened and even front row seats to an NFL game from the owner of the station.

    Hey I don't mean to derail the current conversation, but this is the "little questions thread" after all. Why are there practically ZERO hardcore female fans of wrestling? Hardcore wrestling junkies span the globe and this little community here is one hell of a cross section. Aside from liking wrestling, the only other thing we all have in common is we're males. You can find hardcore female fans of all other sports and virtually all other areas of entertainment. Not wrestling. Why? Sorry if this has been debated to death years ago or something. I'm a female "hardcore" fan. I've followed since I was 9 and spend almost all of my free time watching old (and sometimes new) wrestling, even though my boyfriend thinks it's hokey and only knows Attitude era guys. I have good knowledge of everything American post 85 and a small working knowledge of Japan since 90-ish (and a slightly smaller range of knowledge about other regions). I'm sure there are others, maybe even that you've talked to and just don't know it as there's really no reason to bring it up on the internet.

    Man, Kikuchi took a beating in the last 1/3rd or so of the match.
  21. BackToBionic
    Ax could've at least done his face paint differently.
  22. BackToBionic
    The story I remember was that Tugboat "go an ego" so Vince punished him by removing him from the main event. Doesn't make a ton of sense but wouldn't be the first case of that.
  23. BackToBionic
    Am I the only one that read those Almanacs so much that the cover fell off? Happened to every damn edition.
  24. BackToBionic
    My first ever wrestling merchandise was a Texas Tornado trapper keeper folder. Which is odd because I didn't start watching in earnest until 92. My guess is that my dad (who is from the Dallas area) bought it for me. I had it for years.

    Where natural athletes David and Kerry once stood, now is little weak Chris. Pretty interesting metaphor for the Dallas territory as a whole.
