  1. Kurt Angle vs Undertaker vs Mark Henry - World Heavyweight Title, Wellington, New Zealand

    When did they start showing house show tours on WWE 24/7?

    Not only that, how comes it's been filmed and how comes it's got commentary from the time on it? I thought they stopped doing that in the 90s sometime when they stopped doing the Coliseum Videos with House Show footage. Do they often do this?

  2. Are there any episodes of Raw, Smackdown or Nitro from the attitude era that don't include someone now dead? I assume there are, but it seems like there's always an Owen Hart, Bulldog, Test, Crash Holly, Rick Rude, Macho Man, Benoit, Eddie, Bossman etc knocking about.

     

    The first one I could see when looking in the results archives is the September 27th 1999 Raw. There's probably others though, some of the later Nitros perhaps.

    Here's the card from that Raw anyway: The Big Show defeated Chris Jericho by Disqualification...European Champion, D-Lo Brown, defeated The Lethal Weapon Steve Blackman by Disqualification...World Tag Team Champions, The New Age Outlaws, fought to a No Contest with Kane and X-Pac...Chyna and Debra defeated Jeff Jarrett and Tom Prichard...WWF Champion, Triple H, and The Rock fought to a No Contest.

  3. Any chance somebody has a link to the leaked production copy of WWE NXT from November last year? Tried looking around the net a bit but cant seem to find it.

     

     

    Whats so good or different about this episode?

    It has Kevin Dunn talking over it.

  4. This has possibly been answered many a time in various threads, but it'll be quicker to ask in here than trawl through the forum:

     

    Do WWE start/end a title reign from the date a belt changed hands, or from the date the match was televised (for non-live events)? Specifically, will Christian's title reign be classed as two days or will it go down in the record books as being a five day reign due to Smackdown being aired a few days after the match took place?

     

    Just curious. Ta.

    It's from when it aired in America. According to the official history books, Christian was World Heavyweight Champion for 5 nights.

  5. Going on Holiday for a week next week, need to get myself an e-book to read on the old iphone...

     

    what is the best autobiography to purchase? Is the Hogan one any good?

     

    bearing in mind :

     

    • I watched wrasslin from 1988-2004 and then from 2007-Present

    • I despise Stone Cold Steve Punch Kick Stunner Austin and Bret the Hugman Hart

    • I have read, Jerichos books and Mick Foleys

    • I like stories from within WWF, shoots etc..., not so keen on ones about growing up.

     

    any recommendations?

    It's a shame you don't like Bret, as his book is really good. I would say get the Shawn Michaels book, it's decent enough, and you might appreciate his point of view of the Montreal incident. Even though it isn't an autobiography, I really liked the Death Of WCW as well. Might be worth a look, if you haven't read it yet that is. Here's some Amazon links:

  6. So I've been asked to do a few wrestling DVD's for my Aunties friends 7 year old kid but I have no idea whats any good, any recommendations for PPV's? the only show I've seen the past couple of years is Wrestlemania and none of them were much kop tbh

    I would suggest a decent WWE PPV from the last 3 years or so, with decent matches and fun characters. I'm thinking perhaps No Mercy 2008, Summerslam 2009 and Royal Rumble 2010. It might seem random, but they all seem to fit the description I gave.

  7. I just got this new Stone Cold T Shirt last week, I think it's pretty nice. It's the first one that I don't feel too embarrassed wearing. It's a shame about the WWE logo at the bottom though (that you can't see on this pic).

  8.  

    But not the one you think it is. Does anyone know how and why this came about? Looks like its from Raw whilst with Shelton Benjamin in the Minnesota Wrecking Crew.

    It's from a dark match in 2001, they must have used the Raw replay graphics for when JR and the likes were watching the match to see if he was ready to be called up to the main roster.

  9. Here. They've had the same cabnits for years. Raven did a WWF video with this as his background back in 1994 and they still had the same storage. Its rows and rows of this.

    EDIT: Here's the Johnny Polo tour from 1994. Just imagine that but bigger:

    Cheers, I always imagined it to be in some sort of big warehouse. The Johnny Polo gimmick was awesome as well :thumbsup:

  10. Also, are the WWE still doing the Fatal Four Way PPV or whatever it was called this year?

     

     

    I believe that's been dropped for something else.

     

    I thought as much.

     

    WWE's site isn't giving me the slightest bit of help here. Unless I'm missing something blindingly obvious, I can't find any sort of schedule past Extreme Rules.

     

    Wiki has it down as Capitol Punishment, which they recently copy righted.

    It was reported on some of the news sites last week that it will still be Fatal 4 Way, but with the tagline of "Capitol Punishment".

  11. OK dumb question coming up.

     

    I've just ordered WrestleMania from WWE.com and i'm just wanting to know what time it'll start streaming with me being a UK resident and all the stuff with time differences, etc.

    I'm assuming it'll start the same time it would if i was watching it on Sky Box Office or something but i just wanna make sure.

    It will be on a 12.

  12. Watched 'The True Story of Wrestlemania' the other day.

    At WM8 it mentions originally is was to be Hogan/Flair. Why did they change their mind and go with Savage/Flair instead?

    I've heard it was because of Hogan's decision to "retire". Flair beating Hogan at WrestleMania was a no-no and putting Hogan over a drawing card only for him to walk away was also a no-no. So apparantly they switched it so Hogan wouldn't have to lose and they could end WM with their babyface winning.

    Meltzer has said in the past that it's because their house-show run was receiving only tepid reactions, so McMahon determined that he would need to programme something else in the main event.

    They answer this in this month's issue of Power Slam funnily enough. Basically what Ronnie said was right, they had done the match on House Shows in all of the major North American markets, and the attendance was getting lower and lower due to over exposure of the same match routine. Vince thought they needed something fresh for Wrestlemania, so they went with the two matches we got.
