    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.

    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.
  10. BackToBionic
    Ax could've at least done his face paint differently.

    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.
  12. BackToBionic
    Am I the only one that read those Almanacs so much that the cover fell off? Happened to every damn edition.

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

    Hopefully she was hiding her feet.

    I watched the ROH Straight Shootin he did with Cornette about 4 days before he died. He was hilarious and informative in that, and every interview I ever saw with him.
  17. BackToBionic
    Yeah, they probably shouldn't have zoomed in on some of those Zeus forearms. Terrible.
  18. BackToBionic
    Welp, now I'll be doing my Dawna impression for the rest of the night.

    I remember reading that the guy in the suit (swore I read that it was Peter Weller but that doesn't seem true) had zero mobility so I'm not entirely sure what he could've done. I don't even think he coulda thrown a punch.
  20. BackToBionic
    I wonder why Sid was in the tux so much. It's not exactly something you throw on.
  21. BackToBionic
    I think the story was that he was still "perfect" at MSG.
  22. BackToBionic
    Man, I'm gonna have to try to get that. I'm from Jacksonville and my mom used to tell me about going to shows at the Coliseum.
  23. BackToBionic
    Dig those Roos ringposts. Also, I love Cornette on commentary. I wish he hadn't torched his bridge with the WWE cos I'd love to see him commentate there, even on one of their "B" shows.
  24. BackToBionic
    I remember reading that he did really well and was able to come back faster than expected. May have been in a kayfabe magazine or may have been from a legit source, can't remember. Edit: Must have been an Apter mag memory. The WON from after the injury says 2-6 mths
  25. BackToBionic
    Wellll, he did train the biggest superstar of the last 20 years.
