  1. Why was the 'is wrestling fake' angle such a prevalent issue when wrestling got massive in the mid 80's. Always wondered why it was such a big deal.

  2. To think WCW did that spot after the Arquette v Page v Jarrett Triple Cage Match where Mike Awesome helped Jarrett beat up Page and Kanyon made the save only for Awesome to throw him off the first tier of the cage to the entrance ramp. But it was WCW post Fingerpoke Of Doom stupidity, OK, the bump was Foley terms of danger and execution. But they ended the show straight after and no replays. So he basically killed him for 7 seconds of footage. And why did they think it was a good idea to do it in the same arena Owen died in?

    I think that was lack forsight to be honest. Not Russo or anyone being a dickhead and trying to jog people's memory. Just a shit coincidence really.

     

    The Owen footage could sadly exist in some form as the hard cam might have been fixed during that period of the VT playing the Blazer video. Wasn't there something to do with it being used in a court case?

  3. Warrior lost his edge when he started blowing drying his fringe upwards. No longer a Warrior. Best Survivor Series team ever ever is The Visionaries. Martel, Roma, Herc and Warlord with the best manager ever in their corner - Slick. 4 out of the 5 are still alive as well which is a remarkable feat for a team like that from that from that day and age.

     Their opponents are all still alive. You can also rerun the Alliance Vs The Mercenaries, which was ghastly even in 1990.

    Was Dusty Rhodes' match at Summerslam 1989 against the Honky Tonk Man his redebut match in the WWF? Cheers!

    No, he'd actually started in May subbing for Jake Roberts on house shows.

    Yeah, I think he debuted on tv in late July. Honky was his first big match opponent on TV/PPV.

    Would I be right in thinking that the girl he made the comment about, Joanna Rose, is the one from PCW? Who has/had her own faction featuring Chris Masters among others?

    Aye she does ring announcing gigs both sides of the pond.

    I've never seen any of her work, but I'm surprised an (indy) company would fly in a ring announcer across the Atlantic. Sounds like the costly 1PW way of doing things. Is she there just for the ring announcing or does she have other roles too?

    No idea, must be some deal in place or well connected.
