I don't remember it being on as far as 2005 so it must have been dropped as part of the Jan 2005- Dec 2009 Sky deal.

Forgive me for not believing a word that you post, as first you claim it ended in 2003 and now you say 2005. If you dont know, just dont post. You really do your self no favours.

It's "Ain't No Grave" off American VI, his latest.

It's sounds to me like something Ayass would have said when he was managing Burchill.

I've been reminded by another thread of something I've been meaning to ask for ages, but there is a good chance that nobody will have online access to it:

In the lead-up to Wrestlemania IX, did my young eyes see a montage of the Bret Hart/Yokozuna build-up with Aretha Franklin's Respect being used as the background music, then with a Bret Hart promo talking over the instrumental? I've looked on YouTube with zero success, but for some reason whenever I hear that song, the second the instrumental kicks in I hear Hart say "... and Yokozuna", then my mind goes blank. I need to know what the rest of that promo is. It did happen, right?

I was talking about it the other day and i can't remember a name hence why i can't find any footage.

DailyMotion pulled it as well. I've put it up for download at:

Thanks again for going to the trouble of boxing this off Lister, much appreciated.

Where do you think I could download a torrent for this week's NXT episode ?

Isohunt's cupboards are bare. . .

Back in the days before Smackdown, when Heat used to matter, when was it taped? I know it was on the same show as Raw, but was it taped before or after? I ask because when they'd have guys like Rock, Mankind and Austin on Heat, presumably it wouldn't have made sense to do the Heat stuff before that week's Raw that would (in storyline terms) precede it by six days. You couldn't have Austin come down at half seven talking about Vince McMahon firing him "last week" then do the firing angle at half nine. But if the live Raw finished at eleven, I can't imagine they'd have then done an hour taping Heat after it.

Why the heat between Paul London and Matt Hardy?

Paul London shows displeasure for Matt Hardy,when asked about his epic ladder match with The Hardy Boys, MNM, Dave Taylor and William Regal and himself and Brian Kendrick at Armageddon 2006, he immediately shoots at Matt Hardy.

“All I remember was that I hate Matt Hardy, I think he’s a piece of s—. And I was trying to go into that match with as much of a professional mindset as possible without trying to murder this person. I think he’s a coward.”

London recalled a story from his perspective of Hardy telling on him on catering, as if the situation were from a high school cafeteria. “I said a cuss word in catering and he actually raised his hand and told on me,” London claimed.

He later back-tracked in the interview to say he doesn’t hate anyone, but “that doesn’t mean I can’t be opinionated or have a complete lack of respect for somebody.”

London explained his opinion further: “The thing with Matt is no respect. Just a rotten person. He tries to pull the wool over people’s eyes and put himself over online, but he’s the definition of a mark for himself.

"I just don’t like the guy. He’s done some things to try to sabotage my career, without going into detail, but (he is) the definition of a coward.”

London said he thinks his brother Jeff Hardy is a great guy and he has his all-time favorite match in WWE against Hardy on a tour of Mexico. “Jeff and I went out there on the last day (of the tour) and stole the show,” he said. (He also made a crack about Jeff being on drugs, even though later he basically admitted he smokes pot.)

“Jeff’s the cool one and Matt’s the fat, ugly one who carries a chip on his shoulder because his brother is more popular than him,” London claimed.

This week on WWE Universe, Matt wrote an in character blog. Matt Hardy took a blatant shot at Paul London with his own fiery remarks. In this blog, he wrote:

"If Christian did happen to become ignorant enough to interfere with me and my plans, he might find a "Black Cloud" above his head.

You know, the same kind of "Black Cloud" that took away everything from some "Hooligan" that used to be employed by the WWE.

"And these are facts: it's someone I got hired after allowing him to have a great match with me on Velocity, and then by going to bat to management for him. It's someone who wrestled his most famous and self-confessed "favorite" WWE match in a contest that I was in and totally engineered and manufactured.

"And then he became bitter because he attempted to follow in my footsteps, and couldn't measure up as a man in any way...and I mean in any way. Just another example of what happens when you attempt to cross Matt Hardy, I ALWAYS win in the end. Not only am I "The Starmaker," I'm also a "Startaker." Enjoy your pathetic life; you're welcome."

The Hooligan remark is a remark made as many former Brian Kendrick and Paul London fans noticed that their attire read out "hooligan" giving them the nickname "the Hooligans."

"To my hooligan friend-I actually appreciate when crazy, bitter people give me free publicity by addressing me in interviews that are supposed to be about them. Where I'm currently at now in my career, believe it or not, it actually helps promote the Matt Hardy you see on TV. So thanks. Thanks for giving the Black Cloud image credibility. I know you've probably got some more interviews coming up, so please, keep on ranting and raving and promoting me. It certainly doesn't hurt my feelings or my paychecks. Especially when almost 100% of your comments are about nonsensical events and stories that never really happened. But I guess that's what people that are mentally and emotionally unstable do. It's really sad actually-when seemingly normal people that are so physically gifted can never capitalize on their talents because they're psychopaths."
Matt also commented on the "wrestling community" saying:

"I don't hate or dislike the 'internet journalist.' Some of these guys have a good grasp on our business. Unfortunately several of them don't. Although I realize in actuality they are some of the biggest fans of our industry. And I do appreciate that. But like any other type of media, they often present their opinions and perspectives as facts, and their "facts" are frequently incorrect and wrong. It's the nature of the beast."

Does anyone have a youtube link for the character that Brutus Beefcake played for a couple of weeks in the early nineties where he would do a run in and save the face under some sort of mask?

I was talking about it the other day and i can't remember a name hence why i can't find any footage.

Anyone fancy proving me really wrong, as I can't be bothered to research it, and I probably am well wrong. But was Shelton Benjamin the only wrestler to leave WWE ECW and then go back? I suddenly thought it earlier when watching Superstars.

Other than Ryder, Matt Striker was drafted away as a wrestler and then went back as the commentator. Don't believe there's anyone else.

Does any one in the UK use a quote from terminator when they come out in the music or whatever?
Namely the "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear" bit. It induced a thought of some show some where and I don't know why.

I know you're right about that, but I can't place when his period as a manager was between then. I'm SURE he was wrestling on ECW directly before switching to managing Big Daddy V... did he leave ECW after that? That doesn't seem right...

Whatever became of Outcast Video and Strong Style Tapes?

Striker wrestled on ECW, managed on ECW, wrestled on Raw, commentated on ECW, then commentated on Smackdown. So yeh he did return to ECW too, but not as a wrestler.

Yes, a heel faction in 1PW uses it. Opens with that quote, then mixes into an instrumental version of Mein Herz Brennt by Rammstein. If you need it, I can probably upload it and send it to you.

Did Scott Steiner and Vader ever have a singles match? Because I imagine that'd be fucking awesome.

Rick & Scott Steiner vs. Vader/Bam Bam Bigelow (NJPW)
Cactus Jack/Vader/Mr. Hughes vs. Sting/Rick & Scott Steiner (WCW)

what ever happened to taka michinoku?

Rewatching Wrestlemania 6 last night and some questions

1. Was Andre not wrestling at all as part of the Colossal Connection due to his illness completely fecking him over at that point. Was the face turn meant to be some kind of retirement payoff as at that point all Andre was capable of

3. Why are the earlier matches clipped? and O Canada missing on the Silver Vision/Colloseum release but included on telecasts including Eurosports coverage

7. Why is Mr Perfects Rolling Neck Snap never available as a move in Wrestling game.

6. Why was it decided to give Brutii the 1st? Pinfall win over Mr Perfect?

Who inducted Bobby Heenan into the Hall of Fame?

The man who inducted him appears on the Hall of Fame DVD every year and I can't remember his name.

Probably too hard to program.

I've read that before he got his face fucked in the accident, Beefcake was due to get an IC run in 1990, winning the gold at Summerslam 90. With Perfect set to win the belt weeks after Mania, this would make for a nice reason to feud. Obviously it didn't happen in the end, and Kerry Von Erich cokewalked his way through the push instead.
