  1. My song of the day is WigWam by WigWam. For those not in the know, WigWam were a band formed last year consisting of Alex James (of Blur fame) and 90s pop icon Betty Boo. It's catchy as fuck and one of my favourite singles of last year. Unfortunately the single tanked and i'm pretty sure WigWam are now no more. Enjoy.

     

    WigWam - WigWam

  2. Oh yes, I remember the gimmick battle royal now. I wonder why Iron Sheik was booked to win it? Maybe they felt he deserved it for helping put Hulkamania on the map.

    He won by default as he was physically incapable of taking the bump over the top rope.
  3. Upside down surfboard - you know, when the person doing the move is on ther back and is holding their opponent in the air by all four extremities.Words fail on how much it irritates me when a referee starts counting down the shoulders of the man doing the move. :angry:

    Do you know, I thought I was the only one that got pissed off by that. In what sense is that a cover?
    Well, their shoulders are down, and their opponent's on top of them.
    A pinfall attempt should involve a wrestler attempting to hold his opponent's shoulders to the mat.The recipient of a Rita Romero Special is not making an attempt at pinning his opponent in any way, therefore I do not believe the referee should be counting a pinfall.

    Is it possible to bridge someone down into a pin from a Mex Surfboard without the hold falling apart?

    Yeah, the person doing the hold has to roll backwards a bit so that the recipient's head and shoulders are touching the mat. It requires some dexterity.

    Sorry if i'm a little vague. I'm pretty sure this was in the period of time between Russo getting his matching orders in the January and coming back in April.

    If you're right, it must have been a Kevin Sullivan idea that they nixed when Russo came back to power. I have no idea, but can you describe the wrestler physically?
    Big masked guy. Should have mentioned that. Looked pretty generic as I recall just tights and plain black mask.
  4. Question time.I seem to recall in WCW in probably early 2000 the debut of this mysterious guy who had been getting vignettes aired for a few weeks. I seem to recall him beating DDP in his debut match on Thunder and then disappearing of the face of the earth.Any clues as to who this was?Sorry if i'm a little vague. I'm pretty sure this was in the period of time between Russo getting his matching orders in the January and coming back in April.

  5. Am I mad in thinking that the first manager Demolition~ ever had in the WWF was Luscious Johnny V?

    I always assumed it was Mr Fuji but you could be right. It was definitely Fuji by the time Wrestlemania IV rolled around (their first WM) but wouldn't know if they initially had Luscious Johnny for house shows and TV prior to that.
    I think it was Johnny V, because I remember seeing on WWE Classics a couple of years ago, Demolition's debut and the original team was different (no Ax?) than the one we would grow to know and love :) and i'm sure Johnny V was a part of it.
  6. The angle always seems to be mentioned in every Ring of Honor show I watch on TWC so here goes...Who eventually was found to have jumped Lucy? (CM Punk's valet)

    The Prophecy (Daniels group) hired BJ Whitmer to do the dirty deed.
    Then what was the "Rust Never Sleeps" note all about? Is BJ a Niel Young fan too?
    I had forgotten about that.No idea what explanation they gave but I would imagine it was just the Prophecy's way to try to make Punk think it was Raven.
  7. At ECW Cyberslam '96 when Brian Pillman first appeared for the company, exactly how much if his angle at the show was planned prior/worked?

    All of it, I reckon.
    Yeah, I think he was still under contract to WCW at the time as well, and they sent him to ECW as a way to really put the "Loose Cannon" gimmick over.
  8. I'm in the mood for a laugh - and I wonder if anyone has a link to the infamous WCW "Shockmaster" debut (Where he trips and the hat comes off)...Anyone?Cheers in advance. Haven't seen that in years.

    There is a link in page 6 of this thread that features that footage as well as some other pretty funny stuff.
