Yes on WWE TV, Night after Wrestlemania X8 I believe...

Thanks, just watched the vid of his debut on youtube, a spinebuster on a trash can to Al Snow and 3 Powerbombs on Spike Dudley.....Awesome!

He says 'Goo goo g'joo', a phrase which was originally coined by The Beatles in their song I Am The Walrus. He referenced this line numerous times during interviews in '95/96. Why? Cos he's dead funny and alternative, I presume.

I can confirm that British wrestler David Paris is in a laser eye surgery commercial on TV and that it is indeed just so reassuring to have that lifetime guarrentee!

Does anyone know if the fire incident involving Cactus Jack and Terry Funk in ECW back in 1995 made it to video? always wanted to see it since I read about it many moons ago

Or even a link to watch it online which would be better

Thats so weird, I just can into the topic to ask this. I think it was after a Cactus vs Dreamer match but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know where I can get some decent mods for WWF No Mercy? I keep seeing youtube videos of the like for people who've hacked emulators to turn the game into ROH vs. TNA, and other variations of that, but I can't find any links that work.

When was the last time Undertaker opened a PPV? Before NWO 2009 I mean.

He was definitely never part of a first match on ppv in the 90's.
I'm not as sure about this decade but I don't think it ever happened until last week.

How long will it be until Christian falls victim to the worlds strongest slam?

Anybody know what the very first WWF UK VHS release was? Thanks.

What happened with the Wrestling Channel on sky? it was awesome when it 1st started and had TNA,ROH,CZW, Classic Japan matches etc

The quality of the programming went downhill and started showing shitty mma promotions so I stopped tuning in then all of a sudden it dissapeared from my sky box

The Fight Network bought it over, then shut it down a few months ago.

The "match" itself was shown in clips on the TV show with Tommy Dreamer narrating the whole thing. It was a pretty creative way round the fact that legally, it would have been a major risk to show the incident itself on TV since the fan who got burned was suing the company. Since that lawsuit didn't get settled until years later, by which time the company probably didn't see any benefits in letting anyone see it, it was never released at all.

Given that the crucifixion tapes "were destroyed" and yet miraculously showed up in time to make the WWE DVD, I assume the footage exists in some form, somewhere. Whether it will ever see the light of day or not is another question. My guess is no.

Does anyone know where i can get hold of the FWA TV Series that was on TWC a few years ago.

Thanks very much for that Kenny, I did wonder why I'd never seen it in all these years.

It was three tapes on the same day. I'm 99% sure it was WrestleMania's Greatest Matches (one each from 1-4), High Flyers and Hulk Hogan Real American.

What's happened to Eden Black and JP Monroe?

Ain't seen or heard of either of 'em for ages!

I think alot of the mods on youtube are playing it via pc emulation, using a program called Mugen or possibly even Fighter Maker, which is also really popular for putting Mortal Kombat characters on Street Fighter and vice versa etc.

Real life got in the way.

They're doing well and are in the midst of preparing for their marriage later this year. You'll struggle to find a nicer couple.

They are doing it through a N64 emulator. Some intelligent guy has hacked into the "No Mercy" ROM, and changed it, or something. I really ain't sure about that, but it is through a N64 emulator. You used to see the whole kit, that they used, on various sites like PWTorrents.

It was indeed. In addition, Summerslam 88 was made available on or around the same time as a mail-order release...

Just a quick one...

That NWA Showcase programme that is available on their website, does anybody know if its just a small series (like last year), or if its going to keep having shows every week like the WWE and TNA do?

Thanks, Chris

Another "what happened to?"....Becky James?

She seemed to have such a bright future and I haven't hard of her appearing on shows for a while.

Same with Violet.

Becky James is still about, she's not been wrestling recently, but she's still kicking about. At the moment, she's applying to universities, so that's eating up a lot of her time.

As for Violet, she's repackaged herself and is going under the character of Jayne Beatrix Dunn - the bookworm geek who just happens to have a natural grappling gift. She comes to the ring with a shedload of science books like she's just come from the library, wrestles in an amateur-style singlet, has her hair in geeky pigtails and wears ear protectors. Think of Rachel Leigh Cook in She's All That, pre-makeover.

That sounds absolutely brilliant.

A bit of an obscure one...

I think it was the Raw after the 1999 King of the Ring, the Corporate Ministry were in the ring cutting a promo, and in the weeks prior they had fallen out with The Big Bossman and kicked him out of the stable or something. He came down to the ring and teased attacking them - only to say something like "I love you guys" and they all hugged and he was back in the group.

Anyway, Bossman made his entrance to some really weird music. His video was the same, but, like I say, he had some weird music. He never had it before, nor after, and I don't think it was mentioned.

Does anyone know anything about that? Did the guys in the truck just push the wrong button or something...


Also, do they still show TNA on EuroSport?

CHEERS~!

British Eurosport? No.

Didn't they show it for a while though? I have some vague memory of TNA being on Eurosprt with one of their commentators dubbed over the top of it, he was in total Kayfabe mode too.

Trying to work out if I have enough money in my wallet to get a bag of crisps and get Powerslam at lunchtime. How much is Powerslam??

(I really should know I have brought every damn issue)

Thanks

They definately did, Joe.

I remember Eurosport were showing old stuff (It wasn't even a full programme, just random matches), and the Wrestling Channel was showing new stuff.

I also remember that commentator.

Great stuff.

Glad to hear both are still involved in the British scene as I feel both are very talented young ladies.

****EDIT***

Just found this link to JBD's myspace page. Is that an awesome photo or what!?

What ever happened to Dan Maff of ROH fame? I heard some rumour of trouble between him and Homicide with Homicide threatening to kill him or something along those lines

Ugh, that fucking commentator...

I'm actually glad Eurosport aren't showing it anymore if they'd have carried on dubbing the commentary.

Its 3 pound if my memory serves me right, forgot it was out today I'll have to pick it up when I'm down the town at 4

It wasn't THAT weird... just a new version of his original Hard Times entrance music... I remember it being cool at the time... but that may have purely been just a nostalgia reaction... only ever heard it that once...

I've just seen that Texas Joe Savoldi is appearing on BWP shows in the south west. Is this the same guy that was "Jumpin' Joe Savoldi" and who wrestled for his Dad's ICW promotion in the States in the 1980s?

What was Brock Lesnars New Japan theme song? its quite a heavy little number.

Does anyone know where I might get a Cactus Jack "Wanted Dead" shirt? Ebay is no good it seems.

I saw that one, was hoping for a UK retailer. Thanks anyway!

Thanks guys.

Why was Crush in the Nation of Domination?
Surely that went against their whole 'black supremacist' gimmick.

Well the black supremacist thing didnt start until 1997, hence why Savio/Crush and PG-13 were let go, but in the Nations real early days there we a few white folk in the entourage.

Is PWTORRENTS down?

And having a Hispanic member didn't?

was the nation ever an "all black" group? I have a feeling it was before Owen Hart joined.

its not loading for me - so it looks like its down

In the early days, it wasn't a black thing, it was a discrimination thing.
Crush felt he was being unfairly treated because he had spent time in jail hence the crowd chanting "Jailbird" at him.

What was Savio's reason for joining?
