With the Survivor Series 93 match. Was there any actual storyline attempt to explain it? Like a promo from Michaels saying he was filling in or something?

Wiki says it was a replacement but now you've got me second guessing it.

Speaking of the Punjabi Prison Match, on the same show because of those liver enzymes Lashley got removed from his US title match with Finlay and was replaced by heel and Finlay's running mate Regal. I know they tried to explain it as a "ha ha" you have to fight your mate and there was probably some thought that they'd have a good match but there were probably plenty of better babyface options. Then again it was Smackers in 06.

The showers in my school were actually so low to the ground you couldn't use them unless you knelt down, bent over or thrust forward. We did occasionally wash our legs off still fully clothed after a big game of rugby but that was as far as it went. We had 3 teachers in my school, the same the whole way through. Two younger men, one who was shagging a few female NQT year women and another that did the creepy chat you up once your 18 thing. Generally they were ok. The elder leader teacher taught me for the 5 mandatory years and he gave me a couple of fair bollockings. Once playing football I got the best of him. We were playing footie which sorry everyone I absolutely detest. He saw my lack of enthusiasm and had a quiet word. He said I could be a team player or I could do written work for the rest of the term. He didn't expect me to ask in reply how much, could I choose the topic and where would I be doing it. I was quietly dismissed. In fairness to him when I did have a fight he let it slide during a time when the school had immediate suspension rules. He also used me as a case study in A Level sports science about motivating people who would do sports but not enough to stop being a fat bastard. In Primary school, the PE directing teacher was a bit of a cow. Once asking me to do a push up Infront of the class. She was about 20 stone and probably couldn't manage it. I've yet to forgive 8. Year old Simon for not retorting.

All these different tapes, feeds, versions must have been an absolute nightmare for the team back in the day. I wonder if when they had somewhere overseas they just grabbed the nearest tapes between fags and used them.

I did, you've got to have a few who?!? Moments in there. Especially considering the time period we were looking at. Someone like Ortiz is a great gap between two big entrance pops and then an easy target for our the battle royale first. Besides the guy married Layla so he's done alright!

Ooh fun topic. I'm going to try and avoid too many of the people who have appeared every single time for something a bit special. Apologies if anyone is dead, in prison or a complete wrongun beyond WWE levels. 1. Stevie Richard RTC 2. Adam Rose 3. Syvester Terkay 4. Pirate Paul Birchall 5. Rob Conway as the con man 6. Renee Durpree 7. Armando Estrada 8. Rev D'Von 9. Vito, in the dress 10. No Way Jose 11. El Torito 12. Hornswoggle 13. Simon Dean 14. Funaki 15. Bull Dempsy 16. Deuce 17.Domino 18. Ricky Ortiz 19.

It's like many promotions that start up and go on a while/forever. TNA and ROH had it too. You've got the AJ Styles, AMW etc and then you get those who quickly start fading to the back within a year as better talent comes in. Anyone remember Apollor or Xavier?

It would be inline with history for them to zoom him up, have him drown but be happy they sucked all the gimmick money and life out of the gimmick rather than use him as something unique to promote any more AAA things they show outside Mexico. @BomberPat fantastic post, won't quote it for space reasons. Are there any other promotions aside from AAA and CMLL you recommend. AAA always feels too "attitude" and CMLL a bit long winded for me.

Only 3 women have held the briefcase for over a week! One of them was only just over a month. 3 cashed in on the night and 2 the night after. The like having the match but they clearly don't know how to book a woman holding onto it well.

There's got to be tons of other places they haven't put ads yet. -Goodvye custom side plates on belts. - Has the ramp been made to look like a subway station yet with loads of adds on the side barriers and floor? -surprised each individual ring mat isn't an ad and the led barrier doesn't have Netflix series previews on it. I've got to throw my hands up and say now it's too much for me. I already dislike the amount of screens/lighting but the badly positioned ads just make the whole thing look terrible. It's not so much that they have ads it's that they are badly styled and positioned so it's so noticeable/ awkward. But thats 2025 marketing in a nutshell isn't it. Everything in your face, made awkward so you notice it more and all of it bollocks.
