Maybe not but it looks like it could be either move.

It's definately not a Canadian destroyer, you'll rarely see a piledriver in the WWE these days so I'd imagine a move such as the Canadian destroyer would be a huge no-no.

Going back to Finlay, what ever happened to the injury that forced him to retire? From what I remember it was pretty bad, and certainly not something anyone expected him to come back from.

I believe that he worked as a road agent, and particularly worked closely in laying out many of the Divas matches. Trish Stratus lists him as one of the reasons she improved in the ring.

I believe he wrestled at a house show once at well.

Maxines gimmick was he had made albums wasnt it?)

It seems as if the gimmick had quite a lot of truth to it. While my father was working for EMI they used to send various singers/groups/bands there to do shows for the employees and their families, one time Brian Maxine came down. It was only when looking through a folder of autographs that my mother showed me a signed photo of him and asked about his wrestling career. As it happens, I know diddly squat.

Can someone give me a brief write up on the wrestling career of Brian Maxine? Cheers.

I think this is a brilliant idea, but can I suggest maybe informing everyone what musical genre each track is from? Just so people at least have some clue of what they're about to listen to, and arn't shocked when it's Dutch house mixed with Bolivian rap?

Which ROH show was outside in a big city?

Are you talking about the infamous match which was shown on TV? If it's the one involving Azrieal, it was in the city of Manhatten, New York and was used to promote an upcomming RoH show in the same city.

The difference there is that Blassie was twice Dynamite's age.An old man in his 80's in a wheelchair is common, someone who was confined to his wheelchair in his late thirties/early forties isn't.

I still don't think it'd be an issue. It's a dangerous sport, people know that, and it's not like the general public don't know about Dynamite's injury anyway. Besides, if he only appeared at one Hall of Fame event, which isn't like a normal show anyway, then it's not going to cause a lot of problems. No matter what anyone argues, I certainly doubt that the only reason for Dynamite Kid not being in the Hall Of Fame is due to him being in a wheelchair.

Any recent news on The Dynamite Kid? I remember a rumour that he may have appeared backstage at a FWA event a few years ago, but apart from that I've not heard anything.

He appeared at the end of Revival, where he gave the KoE trophy to Jody Fleisch. I'm guessing that was in 2001.

I always hope that the WWE might induct him into the HofF - but I guess a guy in a wheelchair sends the wrong message...

Him being wheelchair bound has nothing to do with it. Just look at Freddie Blassie, who's last appearance on WWE was in a wheelchair. I'd imagine the bigger issue is what he'd say on an open mic, as from what I hear he can be a bit outspoken. Apparently he's also a bit of a cock as well.

The most insane headbutt ever.

I'd rather take seven from Samoa Joe than one from that guy. I mean seriously, is that even legal?

Anybody know the smallest crowd ever to attend a WWF/E show?

I'm taking a guess that it'd be around the 300 mark. I know that during the latter end of the 80's (I'm going to say 1987) the WWE was pushing three seperate touring groups and that the third one was incredibly weak in terms of name value. It only achieved crowds of 300 or so. However, I can't give you a definate number.

What was the point of JBLs promo though?, it didn't add any extra buys, sure it drew (cheap)heat, but there was no pay off at the end.He just raped the crowd, then left.

You're kidding right? The point was that ECW crowds wanted someone to rally against, to rebel against, and JBL for the most part, represented everything they hated. It gave the fans what they wanted. It furthered JBL's character. It also helped make ECW look like something different, as if they were rebelling against the WWE (which wasn't true in the slightest, of course). JBL achieved a hell of a lot with that promo, certainly just as much as Paul Heyman did at the very start of the show.

i think you have missed my point, if they were voting in there thousands, then we would all be doing a good joband filling venues surely the two go hand in hand.

Ah, ok. I thought you meant that scoring thousands of votes on the UKFF is the most important thing, and not drawing in more people. My apologies.

good luck to bagga and LDN is nice for WAW to be on the board. My feeling for us all is, winners or loses, our job is to make sure the voting gets in its thousands rather than a few hundred, then we will know we are doing a good job.

Wouldn't it better to get thousands into a venue rather than thousands to vote for you?

I see what you mean (originally I thought Vamp meant fake accolades = success), but I've always voted for babyface or heel of the year based on how well they've connected with the fans in that role as opposed to how they've been booked. For instance look at The Great Khali. He came in and destroyed Smackdown's two top babyfaces, Rey Mysterio and The Undertaker, with the latter taking a beating like never before. On that basis Khali would be considered a good heel but in reality he was one of the worst of all time, since he was laughed out of the building more often than not. And in the same vein just because Cena was booked as a hero doesn't mean it worked, and therefore I don't think you can use his title wins as evidence of him being a good babyface. Does that make sense? It should be how he's connecting, not how he's being portrayed.I'd be interested to know on what basis others have voted. How they're portrayed? How they connect with the majority? How the connect with you? Simply how much you've enjoyed them in that role? Or a combination?

Mines a combination personally. I think how well the person is booked should be taken into consideration, and Cena's been booked well (well, since Mania and onwards) as a babyface, and plus I fully believe he's performed well. If you're not going to count the booking, then Cena being booed wouldn't be taken into account anyway, as they only arrived due to poor booking in the first place. Personally I think Cena's booking as a hero has worked. I connected with the character somewhat in the build up to 'Mania and so forth, when he became a much more well developed person besides just a rapper. I've always thought Cena was fairly good as well, he can cut good promos when he wants to and I don't really have a problem with his in ring work (bar the dire STFU). Besides, he's constantly over with women and children, and the majority of people who boo'ed him seemed, at least in my opinion, to be doing it merely to look cool. The sad fact is that in the modern day world, people who deem themselves as true experts of anything, will rarely root for the big dog or the person who's at the top.

John Cena walks away with this year, at least, in my opinion. Started off the year as the most unlikely cadidate to win the award, but in character terms he really devoloped. Went into three of the most hostile crowd situations of the year, and twice left as the WWE Champion. His promo after WrestleMania also happened to be one of the best babyface promos I've seen or heard in quite a while. In the UK, being an SAS fan first and foremost, either Spud or Luke "Dragon" Phoenix take it for me. I'd probably give the edge to Spud, who performed brilliantly in his feud with Jack Storm and put on some of the best underdog performences I've seen since Michaels infamous Survivor Series performence.

The Kartel. Simple. As.

And again Carbomb beats me to it.

Can we please end the stupid trolling and flaming between one fan and a groups of trainess? It's getting ridiculous. If you've got a problem, voice it over PMs or something, just don't bring down the forums with it.

Let's be honest, we've just witnesed the birth of a child who'll be cameraphobic and who will most likely kill his own stepdad. Then years down the line we'll all be complaining that there's too many yahoos in our jails. It's the way the world goes round, in a strange unlogical way.

Doug Williams (Has helped to carry the FWA Banner and is a true ambassador for British wrestling. Greatest modern technical British wrestler in my honest opinion.)Jonny Storm (I struggle to think of a bad match he's had this year. Matches against Sonjay Dutt and X-Dream stand out to me, stepped up a gear this year.)James Tighe (Has really shined this year now that he has a character, talented wrestler who plays heel role incredibly well considering he looked so uncharismatic before.)Burchill (Continued to impress this year and earned a developmental contract with WWE, any British wrestler that does that deserves to be nominated for UK wrestler of the year.
