I was browsing through the channels on freeview last night and came across Impact on Virgin 1, it seems quite recent as Desmond Wolfe had just debuted.

How far behind are Virgin 1?

Can somebody answer me this.

Anybody remember when Dustin Rhodes would walk through the crowd with "HE'S COMING!" signs? Must have been the end of 1997. Where did that all lead to? Thanks.

Hi

I'm just wondering, when Jericho says "I am the best in the world at what I do", is this because he isn't allowed to say the word 'wrestler' or 'wrestling'? Or is it just refering to other things he has done besides wrestling like Fozzy.

Just seems like a weird thing to say. Why doesn't he just say he's the best wrestler?

It's a play on Wolverine's catchphrase, Jericho's into comics and they're both from Canada. I think that explains it.

It was after Val Venis had stolen his wife and he broke out of the Goldust character for a while. He was going around doing the "he's coming back" stuff for a while, making it sound like 'He' was Jesus. It turned out that the 'He' in question was just Goldust!

With the highlight being Vals tremendous retort, walking through the crowd interupting one of Dustins matches with a great big fuck off 'I HAVE COME' sign. Lovely.

Can somebody answer me this

Are their any places where I can find out whos recently signed with a company? Reason I ask is someone mentioned Tyson Tomko secretly signed with TNA 2 weeks ago but I cant find any info anywhere to see whos in the company. Sure TNA and wiki are the ones I normally use to see who in a roster but for some reason hes not listed.

heres a personal question. We all know that wrestlers would tend to use painkillers now and again, but has any wrestler ever gone as far as morphine for something really serious

Fuck me ragged...

I doubt even US doctors would give wrestlers a prescription for Morphine tablets, if there is such a thing. You'd have to have final-stage terminal Cancer to be given them, I guess.

I'm sure i read in Bret Hart's Book(so it might not be totally accurate) that Davey Boy Smith was at one point addicted to Morphine and pretty much off his head everytime he saw him. No idea how true this is or if it is how the hell Davey Boy managed to get a hold of Morphine on a regular basis.

Raven was a smackhead, if that counts.

What ever happened to WWE Anthology Volumwe 2?

My future Mother in law is prescribed them for knee pain.

Where's festus?

They don't have a clue what to do with him right now, supposedly.

That's a shame, He's a lot younger than he looks though and he's massive & pretty talented so I'm sure he'll be repackaged at some point (do they still do that?)

I read this on http://cmpunk.com/ the other day.

Why did WWE decide to make the spines to link to the next month in the 2003 PPV covers? Why did they do it for that year but never any other years?

The chances of anyone actually knowing the answer to that are slim. I'm sure people will have ideas and theories though.

Blimey, Festus is only 25?!? I legit thought he was about 40.

Does anyone know what Legends shows are avaliable on DVD? You hear every year abouut these independant shows doing cards full of Legend matches but I havent found any info on whether any are avaliable on DVD.

Also what ever happened to the Clash of the Legends 2007 DVD that was supposed to be released?

All right, last night I got wasted. Like a retard I turned my TV and Skybox off at the plug; the UFC didn't record.

Anyway, I know ESPN show a replay at 10 pm. According to my Sky Planner it's only two hours instead of three. Do they edit out a load of stuff?

I'm toying with the idea of watching the fights online. If ESPN are going to show all everything though I can wait and watch the show then.

They edit out all the promos and parts of the entrances. It's just wall-to-wall fights.

This forum keeps logging me out. I assume its something in some settings some where, any one able to advise?

can anyone tell me wht the wwf/wwe scratch logo font is i had it before but cant find it now cheers

Does anyone know why Kurt Angle doesnt wear his Olympic gold medal in TNA?

Just wondering if he's been stopped from wearing it since leaving WWE?

It's not like he wore it for every show in WWE either - he had it when he debuted in 1999, and also wore it during 2005 as well, IIRC.

WWE can't stop him from wearing the medal, as he owns it. If he's not wearing it in TNA (like he doesn't wear any other medals), that's his choice.

It's because James Wallace could get a try-out at any time, and the safes aren't that secure.

He said in his book some one took off with it, or it went missing, once and he didn't like useing it much after that.

Didn't he just use Gold Medals from other events half the time or something?

Quick question: What is the name of Jerry Lawler's entrance theme? (His most famous one in case he's changed it!)

I've tried Google to no avail, unless I'm missing it.

Thanks

"Great Gates of Kiev" from Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures from an Exhibition"

The theme off "The New Statesman" is from it too. It's called "Promenade"

Thank you!

Just a quick one,

in smackdown vs raw 09 (last years) does anybody know if the DLC pack 2 (vader, bushwackers etc) comes with entrance music/video for the wrestlers? as i heard only vader does?

Gratuitous dig there. That said, didn't Wallace claim he will be on the next Olympic team anyway? This is probably still his best chance of taking home gold!

Oh, it was the gratuitousness of the dig that (hopefully) made it funny.

I'm probably being worked like it's 1989, but what is the deal with McMahon's commentary during the Austin - Bret Hart match at the Survivor Series in 1996? It does seem rather mean-spirited, even though McMahon is the good guy commentator here.

"Bret Hart's offence looks like nothing at all"
"He should have stayed retired"
"Austin is the miles better competitor and wrestler!"

Things like that. The match is on Vintage Collection this week.

Am I right in remembering that, at the end of the match, JR makes a reference that 'On this night, Bret Hart was unbeatable, and proved he could beat anybody - even Shawn Michaels', and McMahon vehemently disagrees?

Wasn't that around the time WCW were chucking stupid money at Bret to sign with them?

I believe it was.

Just after. Bret had just signed a lower-in-the-short term, higher-in-the-long-run contract with the WWF, after WCW had thrown the stupid money at him.

I've just remembered another small detail from that match (I think). At one point, Austin goes for the Sharpshooter on Bret, and JR makes reference to the unlikeliness of Bret submitting to his own move. Vince replies 'It could happen'.

Amusing, considering what came at the following years event.

Isn't that Vince laying the foundations for Brets heel turn when he dd the 'shoot' type promo on Vince and the way that he'd been mistreated and undervalued by the WWE?

does anybody have a link to the following entrance themes?

the new Jeri-show
Zack ryder
the new legacy

?

if possible, pm me!

Cheers!

It could be, but if it was, he either didn't tell Bret, or Bret has kept kayfabe since then.

In both 'Wrestling with Shadows' and his autobiography, Bret talks about the heel turn coming later than that, as far as I remember.

That said, I'm more than willing to be corrected on this if someone can remind me of something I'm forgetting.

Looking at Bret's rant in early '97 on raw while they were taking the cage down, having a pop at Vince and saying "Bullshit" liberally, I'd imagine it was seed sowing.

Does anyone know anything regarding a downloadable video from I believe highspots.com. It was about this small wrestling company somewhere in the Deep South of America putting on a wrasslin show in a car park and had some incredibly low IQ'd wrestlers on it. Any info would be great as I would love to see this again!

Do WWE own Wagon Wheels? The packaging "alludes" to it, but I can't find anything on the net to suggest so. WWE logos and competitions have been all over Wagon Wheels since at least this yer's 'Mania.

Did TNA Impact air this week (26th), what with it being Thanksgiving and all that??? Can't find it anywhere?

Cheers.

Yep. It's on Virgin 1 right now.

Thanks.
