KrisZ Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Kris & David are joined by Pete Schirmacher (Titans of Wrestling/This Week in Wrestling) to discuss the week that was January 12-18, 1996. We discuss Sabu & Peter McNeely being in the 1996 Royal Rumble and why it didn’t happen, the vindictiveness of Vince McMahon, Billionaire Ted strikes a nerve in WCW, the birth of BattlARTS, AAA vs. Televisa, wacky MMA bit on the Phil Donahue Show, the awesomeness of early 1996 USWA, the Welch Family Tree, and Mike Ditka managing Mongo McMichael??????

Cobra Commander Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 One accusation about Peter McNeely is that his manager got into the ring at 89 seconds because somebody placed a big bet on the fight not going 90 seconds. Also, Golota's from Poland (thru Chicago), not Ireland. He didn't get DQed vs Tyson. Tyson TKOed Golota, but the result was thrown out after Tyson got dinged for marijuana after the fight.

TravJ1979 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 This is the video of the idiots visiting Benoit's house during WM weekend. I don't think they are from outside the US. I believe a few of them have Youtube channels talking about wrestling and refer to themselves as part of the IWC ad nauseam. I think the infamous gemni686 guy that used to post videos about his video collection is affiliated with these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingPower Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I was kind of hot & cold on Battlarts. Some of the higher end matches I was in love with, I was a big fan of Minoru Tanaka and later the Hidaka/Fujita tag team, and could really appreciate the stiffness of the Ikeda/Ishikawa stuff. But then other times they got too "shooty" for me. Some undercards and whole shows just bored me to tears. Half the time I felt frustrated that they were limiting the level of excitement by eliminating the rope running & stuff. It was just an odd hybrid of styles, like dives were cool but there was no rope running? Some suplexes were used & others weren't. I guess it didn't help that the one Battlarts show I went to live was a massive disappointment. Though I did end up running into Carl Greco in the airport on both the arriving & return flights.
