Brickhouse Brown is an honorable man how dare you sully his name.......

 

Zbyszko has always carried a grudge on how his WWF run ended so he is definitely bitter towards Backlund & Vince and running opposition wasn't the best idea since he was blackballed for over 2 years

So is anybody following the whole "Kobashi retirement/bunch of big names might be leaving NOAH/NOAH might be folding or basically ending up as AJPW again" story, or is that being discussed elsewhere around here that I didn't notice?

An update on it from one of the puroresufan boards states that the plan seems to be for Mutoh and AJPW to produce the Kobashi retirement show and then have Kobashi move into the PWF Chairman role.

The amount of crazed lying in that clip alone, rivals the totality of Brickhouse Brown's shoot.

Don't get the facts in the way of a good story I guess. I'm not an expert at all on WWF 1980, but, man, hearing that Backkund couldn't draw a dime and nobody cared about Bob... Hum, what ? Zbyszko is a great storyteller though.

 

Off the charts fantasy work by Larry. On the other hand, he's probably been telling these lies for so long that he actually believes them and doesn't remember reality.

Barry Windham delivers his share of bullshit in his 1991 Timeline too (which is pretty boring, Windham looks and sounds old, kinda sad). Biggest one is Flair was supposed to drop the belt to him before he left. Maybe his memory is just shot...

Yeah, Flair corroborated that in his first DVD set. Herd went from having Flair drop the belt to Luger at the Bash to Flair dropping the belt to Windham at a house show (or TV taping, I forget) to just firing him outright.

Really ? Well, you learn everyday. Mea culpa. The Timeline was still way boring.

Flair was supposed to finally drop the title to Luger at the Great American Bash. His contract was up in 1992, so he tried to play hardball and refuse to job without a contract extension and more money. They ended up deciding to part ways, and Flair agreed to drop the title to Barry Windham on a house show two weeks before the Bash. Then, they decided instead to negotiate a new contract, and Herd ended up getting mad and firing him in the middle of negotiations. Windham was only going to drop the title to Luger in two weeks anyway. But Herd was using him as a pawn, thinking Flair wouldn't dare try to get out of doing a job for Windham. But Windham was sort of manipulated for years into thinking that Flair quit the company so he wouldn't have to job for him. Not that Flair is innocent in all of this, either.

 

I don't know that Luger would have sat the world on fire as champ anyway at this point, considering how many times he had been turned or failed to win the big one, but getting it without beating Flair was the kiss of death.

It would have been four years too late, but I think Barry finally getting the big win over Flair would have been a great moment.

Now that you're giving me the details, yeah, I remember reading about it. But *my* memory is shot apparently, and Windham's pretty good after all since he mentionned how Flair didn't had an issue with doing the job.

Is he still shooting that bodybuilding movie or is this wrestling shape for him now? Well, it took him like 3 weeks after WrestleMania to get into scary Incredible Hulk only much bigger than Lou Ferrigno shape, hopefully he get back to resembling a normal human being by the Rumble in 6 weeks.

 

Still, Jesus.
