Giant Baba screwing Johnny Ace ironically, Antonio Pena suing people, Shane Douglas getting injured yet again, Austin Idol no-showing Memphis yet again, and the complete monster known as WCW.

The Chief Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Great show so far! I remember the big merchandise boom of 1998 and those god-awful T-shirts. I remember going into an Ames or a Wal-Mart and seeing the "real" NWO Wolfpack T-shirt, then turning it around and realizing it had a giant Kevin Nash face on the back with "too sweet" underneath it. My brother found a DX shirt that could almost pass for the real thing. No pictures on it but they did change the font to the point where it almost looked bootleg. I wonder if it was a licensing conflict thing with their own in-house merchandising? That time period is hard to explain to people who didn't live through it. It was weird suddenly seeing so much wrestling stuff in stores. You go to a toy store now and they have entire walls full of WWE merchandise but there was a time period in the mid 1990's where they didn't have ANY wrestling merchandise in stores. Nothing at all except the magazines and maybe a couple video games. And those magazines weren't at every newsstand. If you were a fan back then, the only way you were buying stuff is if you went to live events or conventions/flea markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 It was an explosion no doubt.....Jakks already had figures out a year or two earlier but this was amazing to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 The Trenton mayoral candidate mentioned went on to lose 86-8 to the incumbent Mayor of Trenton. As for Underground cage fights in Mexico: sounds like Emil wants it to be a "Found Footage" sort of promotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingPower Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Yes, I'm behind on shows... regarding the t-shirt discussion, my favorite one was the LWO mall shirt that has Eddy Guerrero front & center on it. It's the only shirt on display in my wrestling room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
