Direct Impact

Do WWE edit a lot of the ppvs on the network? I thought they were supposed to show them as they were broadcast. But watching Summerslam 2003 I've noticed some edits, one bleeping Eric Bischoff calling Shane a piece of shit. They also edited Kane's botch in his match with RVD, originally Kane falls off the top rope when going for a dive to the outside, they cut this out just showing his 2nd attempt.

I'm guessing it was supposed to be a piss take now after watching that back?

 

I'll ask Bret on twitter....since he was 'so'involved in the development

Bet someone told him it's the best game they ever played.

Yeah didn't they do a piece on TV were Bret said he created the game. I seem to recall him attending a meeting about the game in his wrestling attire and a tie?

 

Check out this game show host.

 

 

Those Jews all look the same.

I think Goldberg looks a bit like Lou Ferrigno in that pic.

Another Jew

Watching Backlash 2003 on the Network. I've noticed on a few of the PPVs I've watched that Ric Flairs music isn't the same, wasn't sure if at the time they just wasn't paying the rights to that music because at times he's had a similar generic music, but also Booker T didn't have his usual music neither.

Also I'm sure the camera men are wearing tshirts that say "We The People" with We being WWE logo. So have they tried to get the We The People catchphrase/ slogan over in the past?

 

What's the Owen Doink pic all about?

 

 

Just a pic of the two. I imagine it must be sometime in 1995.

Nothing quirky or weird turn, literally just a random one of two wrestlers.

What's the Owen Doink pic all about?

"Vince, these trousers are ridiculous""They make it look like you're got an 18 inch dick""In that case, I love them!"

They used this outfit for the New Foundation first. Wonder why they went for this? Especially for Neidhart.

Aren't challenge TV showing the next TNA PPV live? This is the first time they've done this?

Just re watching Wrestlemania XIX. In the Hogan - McMahon match I'm just baffled by why Spanish commentator Hugo took a chair shot and bladed. Just seemed pointless and no purpose. Didn't even cause a distraction for Hogan. Infact Hogan didn't seem at all bothered he hit a innocent commentator with a chair. I'm guessing they were just going for the anything can happen vibe.

 

Yes I am from Blackpool

Well those last two were shit, is Direct Impact him from Blackpool who was banned?

Anyway, bicurious dad's post was superb

Yes I'm from Blackpool

You must be the only person in the world who still visit's LoP for news. you check Rajah and Gerweck as well?

I visit LOP too

The famous Wrestlemania X ladder match was over the IC Belt. Remember we had HBK as the "bogus champ".

Burger Bollocks

There was 3 wrestlers in one of the heats. They showed them all at same time. I can remember a Lucha wrestler and a heel who stuck with kayfabe when eliminated.

When in the gym and see myself in the mirror training, I imagine it being a training video for a big match or return from injury.

I don't get it? Why's Roman on a Finn Baloy t-shirt?

I'm sure the torn pec was the initial injury in 1999, but didn't he also tear his groin while training for his comeback? I have this memory in my head from the time that he was supposed to return in January 2000 and got another injury which put him out of Mania.

 

EDIT: Actually he was limping around in mid-99 if I remember. He might have went down with a torn groin and injured his pec before Mania. I know he had a load of injuries and was thinking of packing it in.

Yeah think he torn his pec a few days before a Royal Rumble 2000. He was weight lifting with Bryan Adams aka Crush at the time.

In a horrifying example of just how fast time flies, I have just realised that Bret Hart has been back on working terms with WWE for longer than his exile. If you count from the screwjob to his HoF induction, that is pretty much exactly the same amount of time (within ten days) as from that HoF to today. I know Bret had actually done some stuff with them prior to the HoF, such as his 2005 DVD set, so it's actually even longer that he's been back in the family, but the HoF was his first big time appearance back with them.

I'd disagree with this. Yes Bret accepted his HOF, However he only appeared at the ceremony, he chose not to appear at Wrestlemania. He came back properly in 2010.

Oh that sounds like a lot of messing. Here's the link to the Benoit Jericho pic:

Think it was rare back then, I'm sure I recall Batista "flipping the bird" at last years Royal Rumble

How do you put pics on this on a Ipad? Trying post a pic of David Benoit & Chris Jericho from last night.

Just watching the 1994 Rumble PPV (really good btw I thought) whats the deal with everyone attacking Undertaker in the title match? As in storyline reason for seemingly the majority of the heels wanting to help Yokozuna win?

I was watching that recently too. Your right it doesn't make sense the likes of Deisel and Jeff Jarrett helping Yokozuna when right after the match they showed wrestler interviews saying how they were gonna win the rumble and beat the champ at Wrestlemania X

Why when Scott Hall returned to WWE in 2002 did he start using the stunner as a finisher. Was is so Austin didn't have to take the Razors Edge? Did he hit the Razors Edge on anyone during this time?
