Phil Austin

Taz v Gypsy Joe

 

The guy who got killed by New Jack picks a fight with the wrong guy again!

RVD's Punk'd

 

 

This is why Rob Van Dam never got that Punk'd gig-he's no Ashton!

Ooh, must go watch that Heartbreakers one! I've been wanting to see what the big deal was about that for a while....would love to see MNMs OVW entrance too, because that's supposed to be better than the WWE one too.

Are ther any UK based wrestlers who have a musical gimmick/character e.g. The Honkeytonk Man in the United States, but now and in this country?

3CW's Jayson Mayson is pretty awesome in his "number one popstar in Albania" gimmick...

Don't forget Hade Vansen's pause for a song!

I keep on hearing stories of Phil Collins meeting the Warrior in the early nineties. Did this actually happen? Cheers brahs.

Yeah. There was a picture of it in WWF Magazine. I believe it was some sort of charity event or something. A similar occasion brought together Steve Borden and Gordon Sumner for a picture which appeared in several UK newspapers (most of which labelled our Sting as a WWF wrestler)...

Actually I have this magazine still-it was for a 'TV special' Phil Collins did in the States....he wrestled Warrior as part of a special video they made for a performance of, I believe, Two Hearts. (Cue many, many people suggesting he would have been better suited using Bret Hart there...lol)

 

 

Not the best picture, but Victoria Coren off of 'Balderdash & Piffle'.....not sure what else she's done but she is lovely in a slightly less conventional way

I just watched King Kong, through rather illicit means it must be said, and I must say it was a helluva lot better than I thought it would be-I actually found myself laughing out loud at the 'every time she gets away from the dinosaur she gets thrown towards the other one' bit....and it definitely keep me thoroughly entertained throughout. Thought they got the 'humanity' of Kong out well too.It's not going to be hailed as 'intelligent cinema' but its still a very nice looking film

I currently find Katie Melua to be incredibly cute....not sure if that counts!

Really vague question here but can someone give me some information on All Star Wrestling. I

I got mine from a torrent site...you might also try whatsoeverforum.com (I think thats what its called!)

Quick question: Who are the current IWGP tag champions-I've searched around and the closest I came up with was that Tanahashi and Nakemura won the titles at the end of last year...are they still champions or do someone else hold those belts now?

Does anyone know on which show the September 1st title change happened? Was it on challenge or what? Is it on any Silvervision VHS release?

The match is available on WWF's Year In Review 1992 if you can track that tape down anywhere

I know someone who has a copy and might be putting it on eBay soon...

The match is also available on the WWF Colloseum video that is called 'Smack Em Whack Em' (oh dear!)

I'm so glad I missed this.

You must view this at least once! His matches actually weren't half bad, had a lot more of a 'current US indy' style than the other workers of the time with little flippy-floppy moves.

Although this has probably been done by a number of the indy highfliers now, for a long time Rey Mysterio was the only man that I am aware of to have ever performed this move in a match.

,May 5 2005, 14:01] Pop Idol (PS2): Blame the girlfriend. Moving on...

I hired that Pop Idol game once....found it surprisingly enjoyable. Yes, its crap but its pretty funny, especially if you get a few pissed mates round.

Doomdarks Revengeyay! 1986 is still calling me back to the land of Icemark! One of, if not THE first, 1st person game where you commanded more than one character. Expansive world, and great fun if you give it a chance They are updating everything on the game at the moment and releasing an update, the original game "Lords of Midnight" is done, DDR is on it's way and a clever programmer has released an updated/enhanced multiplayer version which is wicked. Here's a link...What am I talking about!

You sir are a god....I still have the original Lords of Midnight in its packaging too (and I think Doomdark's too)....awesome games way ahead of their time!

Playing a lot of Touken Retsuden 4 at the moment, plus Giant Gram 2000. Also dipping in and out of random SNES games I have emulated on the PC, of which there are a lot so its rarely the same one twice (though Tetris Battle Gaiden rules!)

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.

Who definitely wasn't the yet-to-be-reinstated Savage under a mask. Oh no.

You mean 'ooooh yeaahhh', surely?

Whatever happened to the S.A.T's?They seemed to be on every indy show two years ago.

Not sure-I know anyone who saw Mikey Whipwreck's shoot interview at Frontiers of Honor will know his thoughts on Joel (or Jose, can't remember which) getting fat and lazy, I guess they are still around on the indy scene, but I think their appeal dropped off when so many other high fliers appeared doing what they did.

Ok quick question ive been reading up on alot of shows that feature Samoa Joe and i have one thing to ask and that is what is the muscle buster? thanks in advance

Ok, I'll try and describe it....he takes them off the top rope on his shoulders...they are cradle upside down in kind of a folded up vertical torture rack position.Then he drops them down in this position....hard to explain, but very cool...think there is footage of it on samoajoe.com

Don't think Gangrel signed any sort of WWE deal after his last appearance on Smackdown...they just kept Vis on to do appearances, but even he isn't under any contract. (But he got to kiss Trish, so who needs a contract?)

Wasn't lightning also Cobra?

You are correct sir.

Was going through some old WCW magazines yesterday (willing to sell them so if you are interested PM me) and there were several tag teams that seemed to have short spells in WCW around early 1990s. Anyone know anything about the Awesomg Kongs (managed by Harley Race) Cole Twins or Thunder and Lightning.

Lightning was an early WCW gimmick, and he found more "fame" as the NWO Sting I believe.

Awesome Kongs were two huge fat (and fairly immobile) guys brought in by Harley Race to fight Cactus Jack to try and sidetrack him from Vader. They didn't last long and weren't that good.The Cole Twins were blonde haired bland twins, around 1993/4. They had a modicum of popularity but were never that good. I shamefully remember them 'dancing' in the ring with Scorpio and Buff Bagwell on an episode of Worldwide prior to an 8 man tag (still have some of their matches on tape). I'm sure I heard either Keith or Kent (was that his name?) Cole mentioned recently in wrestling news, but can't think why? Did they get a dark match with WWE or TNA or something?Thunder and Lightning I probably saw once, but don't remember it!(Incidentally still have copies of WCW magazines from this period with pictures and articles on all of the above in them---oh the good old days!)

Has any1 got Paul Londons WWE theme music for me to Download please ?

Yes, I do-both versions (see my ad in classifieds for details---not a cheap plug, its just the guy asked!)
