If they taped at the MGM Grand, he'd be Johnny Vegas.

"Larry, they're brawling up to the internet guys' table!"

Whatever happened to Gary Steele ?

 

Or anybody else from the transatlantic wrestling challenge for that matter ?

The Tank is still out there, albeit with a different lick of paint!

Mean-spirited but fascinating piece of TV here... the BBC talking to Vince McMahon in the early Hulkamania era. Never seen this before recently.

The finish needs to be Cena turning into a truck and running him over.

Do you think there was a fear that Cena vs Reigns at Mania would get absolutely ambushed by the neckbeards, a la Goldberg vs Lesnar at WM 20?

Yano is an absolute hero.

Hadn't thought of that, to be fair. Thought it was hipster code.

Zit?

"The graps".

No.

Well they made a Raw and a Smackdown one.

As acknowledged.

Blimey.

Meanwhile Davey Boy Smith and Warlord faced off at all five PPVs in 1991 (first guy Warlord went after in the Rumble, singles at WrestleMania, six-man at SummerSlam, opposing team at Survivor Series, singles at This Tuesday In Texas.)

Oddly (or perhaps not), they were then placed as numerically far apart in the subsequent Royal Rumble as possible.

If the Jannetty/Martel match had gone ahead as originally advertised, the Model would have faced the Rockers in singles at successive SummerSlams.

I need new hobbies.

The match they had at the SummerSlam Spectacular against the Orient Express is even better, if I remember rightly.

I'm a sucker for unusual gimmick matches, so I enjoyed this show!

Imagine the pop at the Mumbai Walkabout when Khali came out!

Jinder forever!

Excellent post.

That stuff was gold, fair play!

Speaking of Koko, the second Prime Time of 1989 has a fun cat-and-mouse style match between him and Akeem.

Is it just me that's going to cringe massively when everyone sings "YOU SUCK" over his music?

So Kota Ibushi made his UK debut today.

From the looks, it was... unconventional.

Hulk vs Vince is amazing and you all know it. This place was built on that ladder legdrop!

I keep hearing all this stuff about how Owens didn't deserve this outcome... bizarre! He won it via nefarious means, without doing anything to cause the pinfall. He retained it time and time again by cheating, using his friend to make it through each hurdle... and then he roughs up the friend? The guy got EXACTLY what he deserved. It was classic pro wrestling.

Listening to the last scheduled 'Letters from Kayfabe' - excellent podcast. Really enjoyable, terrific topics. Thank you gents.
