History of Wrestling

Can anybody refresh my memory on what the issue between Vince McMahon and the Undertaker was in February of 1999? (On-screen of course). I'm watching Best of RAW 2 and coverage of the Ministry vs. Corporation starts with Vince making an Inferno match between Undertaker and Kane (to set up Undertaker burning the bear in the fire) but it doesn't say WHY Vince made the match in the first place, storyline wise. Anybody remember?

Lister's basically suggested everything I was going to, although I'd swap out SummerSlam 2002 for the 1992 Royal Rumble on a personal preference. The undercard isn't up to much, but the Rumble match is the greatest ever.

 

Also, to echo Shane O' Mac's sentiments, don't sleep on NXT. ArRIVAL was great and I'd fully recommend *at least* just the Cesaro-Sami Zayn match.

 

Also, while there's not much of this stuff up there yet, Raw from 1993, 1997 and 1998 is usually great fun to revist.

That's my only concern with it, plus I hope that don't 'do a Legacy' and book a useless three-way at Mania.

Where does everyone think they should turn Roman Reigns? For me it seems like the obvious choice would a Shield vs. Wyatt Family 6-man at WrestleMania, put the Wyatts over and do the big turn on the big show... but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense from a business standpoint to turn him BEFORE WrestleMania, since Royal Rumble to Mania is the peak time for casuals and lapsed fans to tune in.

 

Do the turn while more people are watching, then build to Roman getting the US title from Ambrose at Mania. Only problem there is you leave Rollins in the shitter and have nothing much for the Wyatts.

 

Either way, I hope he gets the Diesel push in the Rumble and eliminates a bunch of guys, including his Shield partners.

I think Sable's return/smooch with Torrie was cut from the UK broadcast of Smackdown, I remember her return being fairly shocking news at the time and then it never aired here. I think that was all down to broadcasting laws about advertising during shows, since it was a tie-in with Torrie's Playboy spread, and other Playboy-based angles got cut (though would air when Raw finally went live over here.)

You can put me down for the Greetings, Grapple Fans! book.

Does anyone know when Neville vs. Zayn airs/aired? Not sure if I've missed it.

Anyone got any information on "John WrestlingDvds Rogan" (on Facebook)?

 

We bought a Warrior comp from him, looking for specific matches that we were told would be no problem. What we got was a shoddily put together two disc set of a handful of Warrior matches ripped from Daily Motion, Youtube and Coliseum Video. When we told him, we were told there weere no refunds because we might be trying to scam him, and that "his team" guaranteed that the matches we asked for never happened, and took it upon themselves to just pick any similar (commercially available) match with the same opponent instead.

 

We were again told there was no refunds, and it turns out their paypal no longer works. What a surprise, huh? We were then blocked on FB for having the nerve to question this and told we can have half price on our next order!

 

I have kept all the chat logs, and they are some funny shit. The guy even claimed that "WWE takes a percentage of our sales" which is a frankly brilliant statement. Obviously I know they are full of shit, but I just want to know HOW full of shit. He claims to have been around for a while, but I have never heard of him. The paypal was to a Nathan Meah and email address was gangstagstarraw@hotmail.co.uk Anyone know that?

 

Cheers guys
