Kenny McBride

Do you know any of the guys working the show? Your best bet would be to get in touch with one of them and explain your story. Although if Heyman's "recreate EVERYTHING about ECW (down to Atlas Security, the same ticket-tearers etc.)" plan goes ahead, you can bet half the front row is already reserved for Sign Guy, Hat Guy, Dreads and all those guys. Otherwise, I guess just make sure you get in as quickly as you can and pray for a good seat. If they are randomly allocated, get to the building early and sweet-talk someone with your transatlantic sob story.

...and didn't do too great with it IIRC (much like any other non-wrestling McMahon venture)...

whats IIRC? its mentioned every so often and I just realised I have know idea what it is.

Can anyone tell me who was under the mask of Kimchee - Kamala's manager? I think i read somewhere it was Steve 'Brooklyn Brawler' Lombardi, was it him?

Whats with all the British stars (Domino, Eric Schwarts, Robbie Brookside etc.) on WWE this week when there in the UK?

is Droz still with the WWE?

He writes a column on wwe.com

Have any WWE films been released yet?

The Rock's films (Scorpion King, The Rundown/Welcome To The Jungle and Walking Tall) were all credited as "in association with WWE Films".Obviously that's just a tip of the hat to the fact that Rock was a contracted WWE performer at that time (as is the fact that Vince McMahon is credited as Executive Producer), but I thought it was worth mentioning - just to be anal.

They made the T-shirts just for themselves, to express solidarity and such. They even had a secret handshake, but only old-school Suckerpunch readers know it.

The Job Squad started as an Al Snow joke - he told Cornette he was starting a "clique" and they'd be the most powerful guys in the business, because all they had to do was no-sell everyone's finshes and all the top guys would be destroyed while they'd be instant superstars. It became a backstage gang of ECW/WWF guys like Snow, Candido, the bWo guys, and a bunch of others. Around 1998 (I think) it became an on-screen deal with the guys you mentioned. The awesome T-shirts were originally Snow's own designs, but WWF picked them up. The best one was "Flat on our backs since birth". Can anyone remember how many different shirts there were?

What was Jonny Storm's theme music at the IPW-UK debut show?

I wasn't at the show so have no clue but he does use Chesney Hawkes 'One And Only' at shows.

In traditional British rules, does a round end when someone gets pinned OR when someone gets pinned do they continue until the round finishes

Each round is three or five minutes, after the allotted time there is a minute break. The match ends when there is a pinfall or submission, although a lot of matches are two out of three falls, so when the early falls happen the action stops for a minute before you restart at the time that the fall was counted. So if the first fall is in the second round, two minutes in, you start the match with a minute left in the second round.Its like a boxing match, but they wrestle instead. That's always been my understanding of it.

With 99% certainty, I'll say one of the Dale Martin Wembley Arena shows. Daddy/Quinn, McManus/Pallo...they all did about the same, which I believe is in the region of 10,000 paying punters.

Probably one of the WCW tour shows or one of the Dale Martin Wembley Arena shows.

Kenny, you're a cunt, stop making me laugh like that.

Well it's true, but language like that is hardly appropriate from a "lady" like you.

Just as well I've never claimed to be a "lady", isn't it?

Kenny, you're a cunt, stop making me laugh like that.

Nah. Peaches was Sandman's wife. Still is, last I heard. I have no idea what happened to Chastity.

Does anybody have the skivvy on what Dan Maff did to Homicide?

Phoned him up and agreed to work an angle with him.

Well yeah, but that was part of a much bigger legal mess, involving the trademark infringement with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash "in their Razor Ramon and Diesel characterisations" appearing on WCW shows, the DX WCW invasion and all sorts of other dodgy shit. Every lawyer in America knows you can't sue parodists or satirists for libel. It all goes back to The People Vs. Larry Flynt (the lawsuit, not the film).

Does anyone know when the BWO 1st apeared in ECW?

November To Remember 1996. It was supposed to be a one night gimmick (like all of their other parodies), but it got over so well they just went with it.

Did ECW ever get sued for it?

Congratulations to all...except Tommyboi, Penis Suplex, dandaman619 and Feinstein. Shouldn't this be on the main board though?

Leave it Bobbins. He's not worth it. Let's just start a thread about what a wanker he is at Spider Tw...nah, never mind. ;)And Herbie, your channel also brings together a variety of sports. I mean, you're not seriously telling me that CMLL and NOAH are comparable products? First person to mention Akiyama on that AAA tour gets slapped.

No. All we needed was John to come along and shut us all up by summing everything up in a few pithy sentences.Plain English~~~~~.

Yeah, what OB said.

Mo, in response to your question, it would be a major boon for all companies involved (including the FWA and TWC) if that many companies got deals with the channel. With multiple alternatives, fans would be more likely to give any and all British wrestling a chance, and arena fans would be more likely to tune in and watch all the stuff on TWC - not just "their" company. Also, competition would force all the wrestling offices to constantly drive their standards higher, and by extension, drive the standards of wrestling in this country higher. As it is, companies are going to feel, rightly or wrongly, that it doesn't matter what they do, as the FWA seems to have a lock on the station. Alternatively, they may (mistakenly) view TWC as the holy grail, and they may see massive investment as the only way to get on the channel, and bankrupt themselves in the process.

Yes, but wrestling is the bastard child of entertainment, and as long as WWE has no self-respect, wrestling in general will get no respect, and as long as there's stories about paedophiles and ultraviolence to cover, there will never be serious interest from other channels in wrestling.

Can I just add that Moj is wrong about me, and I hope he gets cancer?I don't actually hope he gets cancer. I just need half my statement to be false, so I can retract it later.
