The DVD run-down would be like this:
-WWA ran a few entertaining tours with Bret Hart advertised on the posters as a wrestler (well a picture of Bret Hart in wrestling gear with the World title).
-Billed Nathan Jones as from the town they were running at the time for a cheap pop.
-‘Signed’ Randy Savage and then he walked out before there first PPV (which had migets, a Hulk Hogan impersonator and A.J. Styles blowing every move he tried)
-Booked Sting and Lex Luger who preceded to work 5 minute main events to rounds of boos to half empty arenas.
-Jeff Jarrett won there belt and they died.

The promotion had no history worth putting on the back of a fag packet, let alone a DVD.

Not even a few worth while matches that could have made up an extras menu or disk?

No, have all their shows on DVD, and its just a horrible...but strangely worthwhile attempt at a company...if that makes sense.

Best left in the past, and the live arena, where even after watching 3 live shows in Ireland, it still baffled me sometimes

what was the deal with the "you f sheep" rant 3PW fans made for Roadkill of ECW fame?

and, why did the WWF downgrade "In Your House" to a tagline for the rest of their PPVs that had IYH in the title after IYH 16:Canadian Stampede?

Branding no doubt. If you think, we'd be up to about IYH 2349 or something by now. Doesn't look good on the poster.

PPV identity is also a good reason I guess, so much easier to relate to past say, Unforgivens' than saying "and who can remember last years IYH 29 ... etc."

The original In Your House shows were two hours and a reduced price ($15 rather than $30), so the IYH name was part of the branding. After Canadian Stampede they went to three hours for full price, so it made sense to give each show its own identity and make them feel like 'full size' shows just like the rest.

Your maths is atrocious! Three more in 1997, 7 per year from 98-2002, 8 per year from 2003-2008 and generously adding about 15 to keep in line with all those extra shows they added the last couple of years and you'd still have only just about cracked 100 late last/earlier this year.

Also, I seem to remember the video cassettes and promotional posters keeping the In Your House logo (albiet tiny, squashed up in the corner and not really mentioned by the announcers or anyone) through to at least D-Generation-X or possibly as far as No Way Out Of Texas.


Last one to have the 'traditional' IYH logo.


Still kept the IYH name on the boxes from IYH 20, Feb 98.


Still doing it for IYH 26, Dec. 98.


Backlash in April 1999 had the IYH suffix on the posters but not the VHS. I think it was the last time they used it.

/GEEK.

A couple of quick questions cause I havn't been paying attention too much lately;

On Raw; In kayfabe terms, are Santino and Beth meant to be a couple? Or are they only a couple in Santino's eyes and she sees him as a pain in the arse?

On Smackdown; Where is Edge? I assumed that he was going to be off tv for a few weeks selling being sent to hell at Summerslam, but he still isnt back yet. So, whats the story with him? Is he injured? When is he due to return?

Sorry to quote myself but, anybody know why this was at all?

Roadkill is announced as being from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which is the home of the Amish community. I imagine that the Amish are the butt of a lot of rural jokes (like Welsh people are in England) given the way that they choose to live their lives.

I have a question regarding a match between Randy Savage and Rick Steiner match I just watched on YouTube from a New Japan show. It's quite funny and I never knew it existed until about 20 minutes ago.

How does the popularity compare between Savage and Rick Steiner in Japan. Rick Steiner gets a ridicious reaction for the pops he was getting at the time in WCW and he goes over.

Here's the match by the way.

Beth/Santino are a "couple". It all started after Beth beat Santino once, and they shared a "passionate" kiss after aguing. It developed fairly quickly in to what you see now. But quite regularly Beth sees him as a pain in the arse as well.

Edge is still selling the injuries from Summerslam, and if the internet reports are anything to go by, he is due back pretty much anytime soon. I'd guess he may have some interfering part at Survivor Series in either the Taker/Show or Kozlov/HHH match

Does having masked gimmicks work for Billy Kidman and Charlie Haas?

Savage was as big a star as anyone who was a top guy in the States but had never really worked in Japan. Steiner was one half of the most popular team in Japan since the Road Warriors. It's easy to forget just what a huge deal the Steiners were in early to mid 90s New Japan. They were MASSIVE.

Either that, or he really does do you know what.

Perhaps (or perhaps not) a tricky question...

Which wrestler has been with WWE the longest without appearing in a Wrestlemania?

It used to be Stevie Richards, but he left so I'm not sure. Kendrick has been with WWE since 2002 (on and off) which would perhaps make him the longest, but obviously that was interrupted.

In terms of longest uninterrupted without a Wrestlemania of the current roster, I'd take a guess at Gene Snitsky, but I may be way off.

Thats a tricky one, as a lot of the roster appears on the DVD versions, due to the dark match Battle Royal

hmmmm...starts thinking

Back to the In Your House thing, I think the last In Your House was St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Feb 99.

Where's Melina?

Injured her ankle in a tag match, due back around the start of next year.

Did Steve Lombardi ever work a Wrestlemania? I can't think of one.

He accompanied Bobby Heenan at WrestleMania V against the Red Rooster, but wrestling? Nope.

Did he ever appear as Doink? Maybe WM9 or even the WM X-7 Gimmick Battle Royal.

Nine was still Matt Bourne, but Lombardi could've been the second Doink? Pretty sure it was Phil Apollo though.

Didn't Lombardi work the WM 17 Battle Royal as Kimchee?

Broken heel according to Powerslam, which sounds very painful.

About the longest un-Wrestlemania streak question I asked.

Forget the Heat, wwe.com or home video exclusives before WM as that technically isn't Wrestlemania.

Funny how obvious it was Stevie Richards before he got released. I first thought of Funaki, but he was at the WM2000 Hardcore Battle Royal. And then Hurrican Helms, who as far as I'm aware has never had a match at Wrestlemania, but won (then lost) the Hardcore title under the 24/7 rule at X8.

And yes, Lombardi competed as KimChee at the X-Seven Gimmick Battle Royal.

I'm struggling to find anybody other than Snitsky

Did Jerry Lawler ever wrestle a match at Wrestlemania?

I know he doesn't count now because he's not an active roster member but thinking about it I'm really struggling to think of a match hes had there.

Does anyone have a link to the full entrance for Glacier in WCW? As in the blue strobes/lasers, snow falling and all that good stuff. I've never actually seen it and am intrigued because of how much it's reported to have cost (close to $500,000!). I only saw him when he'd been given the downgraded attire and entrance and they'd pretty much given up on him. I'm a sucker for an over the top entrance, so I'd love to see it. Apparently he only had the full-on deluxe entrance/outfit combination for three matches, but they were televised as far as I know. Must say that the outfit kind of sucked for something that cost £35,000 though.

Now, I distinctly remember during Doink's entrance, the music would change from happy to evil the whole time.

Did I imagine this? I can only find themes on youtube that start with a small bit of clown music and then evil for the rest of the time.

Who holds the record for most matches wrestled at WWF/E pay-per-views? I'm guessing that the top three would be The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Triple H (in that order), but if anybody has some cold hard stats, it'd be much appreciated,

Don't know for certain who's top, but Undertaker hit 100 at the last show. I'd imagine he's ahead of both the others you mention given the times they worked and the schedule in those years.

I'd suspect Kane would be surprisingly high.

Yeah, I thought of this the other day.

Kane has been permanently on the roster for 11 years and has never missed any more than a few weeks of TV through injury that entire time.

That kind of stretch has to be some kind of record.

If you include Isaac Yankem in 1996 and Fake Diesel in 1997 - hasn't Glen Jacobs appeared live on screen in some capacity at every Royal Rumble since 1996? Impressive.

I used to have a spreadsheet a few years ago where I kept all sorts of stats. PPV matches, wins, losses, title reigns, lengths of title reigns, etc. Really geeky stuff but I gave it up eventually.

I'd reckon The Undertaker being at the top too. Although HHH must be close.

Hi I am a fan of the UK Wrestler Crazy Horse who is billed from Lindisfarne. He wrestles as a viking gimmick and regularly performs for Premier Promotions, I was just wondering who else he wrestles for and how long he has been in the business etc any help would be appreciated

He's a Robbie Brookside trainee out of the WrestLeicester school in Leicester (surprisingly, although i don't think Brookside is the trainer there anymore). The poster C-Dude, is probably your best bet for more info as he used to train with the guy from what I recall from drunken nights out.

I remember some time, for no apparant reason, I went through the line-up of best-drawing PPV ever, then saw who was also on the second-best drawing show, then who also made it to the third-best drawing show, and so on. Kane was the last man surviving on the list.

Anyone know whatever happened to The Sledgehammer forums?

He's called Crazy horse and has a viking gimmick?

I know... what with Crazy Horse having quite a large native american connotations it doesn't seem right but in all honesty viking warriors would have names like this. He has the character down pat, he yells at his second for not giving him mead and everything... a really entertaining wrestler

ok so lazy question here .
I've only just got back online and ive been going through the last few months of smackdown to get all the THE brian kendrick matches so my question is has he been on ecw atall? I cant be bothered to go through all the ecw results and i cant atch ecw now punk is gone.

Any help would be great

Anybody know what the Skyscrapers theme song was? Just trying to get the name of it.

It's Eighties, and rocky, for the time. It lasts over seven minutes.

I've got this feeling it's called "China White", but now I ain't so sure. Thank you.

Got the answer..

Scorpions - "China White"

No, the Smackdown/ECW talent trade has faded away, and only Miz/Morrison from ECW appear occasionally on Smackdown these days.

Only time away from Smackdown since his change, I believe was when he was on the "special 800th edition" of Raw that actually wasn't the 800th, nearly two weeks ago. He teamed with MVP and lost to the Hardys

More of a request than a question.

But does anyone know where i can download the Uncle Krakcer song - what chu lookin at?...it was the one X-Factor used for their theme, im not wanting the WWE remixed one though with all the X-Factor mentions. Thats the only one Youtube have, but i know it's on his album, the proper one like. Cheers.

you can download the whole album its on here http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4260706/Un...r_-_Double_Wide
