Road Dog has been a road agent for a while.

 

Douglas was definitely brought in for a short term feud with Daniels that was stupid as fuck and never made any sense.

 

Raven I thought was supposed to be back for good but that didn't last.

Thing with Shane is he can only work summers since he's got a full time teaching gig now.

What is Cornettes facebook?

There's one for Cornette's Collectibles, but his wife runs it. His wife also has a personal Facebook, but Jim himself doesn't actually have one.

 

Yeah it was Stacey that posted the comment about wrestling companies they would enjoy, not Jim.

Teddy Long's facial expression after Taker said "Buckle Up teddy" on Smackdown made me laugh for a long time. That has to be the next popular internet meme.

 

That segment btw was reminscent of "Where to Stephanie?"

How did the phrase "Inoki is love" get in my head? Something wacky he did, an old newsletter joke, or something I made up completely as a joke about the World Wrestling Peace Festival?

Personally, I think it's just common sense. I mean, really, what says "love" like a crazy Japanese wrestling promoter with a giant chin?

Does anybody have any clue what the deal is with this random WWF show from Kuwait in 1985 is all about

 

WWF @ Kuwait - March 14, 1985

Jose Estrada defeated Jack Armstrong

The Executioner defeated Archie Raynold

Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch defeated Don Muraco & Tiger Chung Lee

Pedro Morales & Rocky Johnson fought Mr. Fuji & the Spoiler to a draw

 

I highly doubt the show actually took place given Muraco worked in St. Louis apparently that same night, and Rocky Johnson was working in Pittsburgh the night following. So does anybody know anything as it appears just to be a random one off show

Yep, this show did happen and Muraco and Johnson WERE on it. It's featured in a WWF magazine article from that time. I only remember this so much cause it was the first wrestling magazine I ever was bought. It had Piper/Blassie/Sheik etc on the cover from the Cindy Lauper Goonies video. The magazine had pictures, iirc, of Muraco, Fuji, Rocky and Jack Armstrong in 'foreign land'.

I'd be fascinated at this point to get more info on the shows, like did they do just Kuwait or did they go into Saudi Arabia or Iraq (who were still on friendly terms with us back then as we were helping them with the Iran issue) at all and like what type of crowds did they draw. Or even if they went into Pakistan, actually I would not be surprised if they did given the relationship with Inoki. Inoki ran a tour in Pakistan in 1984 that drew ridiculous numbers of 35 to 40 thousand people a show.

 

I guess the big question is, did WWF have any sort of TV in the area? I can't figure it'd be too far of a stretch given the foreign presence in Kuwait and Dubai, which was fairly big even dating back to the mid 80's.

I think there was definately a Saudi Arabian show too. I'll look for the old mag and try to provide details.

Hey Rob, question, something I've been wondering for a while actually. What was the deal with the boys on commentary mentioning you during the first Necro/Joe match? It didn't sound like they were mocking or making fun of you, more like some kind of in-joke that just went over my head. Been curious about it ever since I heard it cuz I recognized the name, just forgot about it til now.

Punk knew how hugely I wanted to see Joe vs. Necro for years, so I think he just had fun with it on commentary. Something I always laughed at was Kingston saying I was "here in the building", when in fact, I was NOT even at that show. :)
