Pathetic question ahoy. Could anyone define "a work" for me. I have annoyingly expanded my vocabulary to include "being worked" and find it tricky to explain to others who question it...

What on earth does being a "Nature Boy" mean?

Nature boy is a popular Jazz song - most famously recorded by Nat King Cole I would say - and Buddy Rogers was named after the song.

Cheers for that, might look up the lyrics to see what its all about. Thanks again.

The Bret Hart tease. Watch the guy in an Eddie shirt in the bottom right hand corner mark the fuck out at the beginning. They got me good with this too. Very good manipulation of my emotions, boy was I pissed afterwards.

I watched an CZW/ROH event last night on The Wrestling Channel, can anyone tell me who did commentary for the second half of the show. He's a wrestler, quite soft spoken, but sounds intelligent and I felt did a great job of calling the show.

What was the deal with Ahmed Johnson's thigh pads? What was he protecting himself from? If they were so useful, why don't I know anyone else who wears them?

I have just seen a short clip of Gary Coleman being smashed by Jeff Jarrett's guitar. Before the shot, Coleman's hat falls off and something falls to the floor. I imagine it is some padding, but can anyone confirm this?

On the off chance, does anyone have any idea whether the Louis Theroux/Power Plant incident was a work?

No it wasnt.

What actually happened?

On one of his Weird Weekends, Louis visited a WCW Nitro show and spoke to a trainer, "Sarge". After seemingly making friends with one another, Louis was up for going for a try out at the Powerplant training facility. However, later after the show, Louis annoyed the Sarge by asking about the pre-determined nature of matches. This annoyed the trainer who held a grudge until Louis turned up at the Powerplant. Louis didn't do too badly at cutting a first time promo, but then is forced to exercise and run until he "pukes" and is laughed/heckled at by all the other wrestlers after lying on the floor claiming to be a "dying cockroach".It just seemed like a work due to the seed planted at the beginning of the show at Nitro and then Louis admitting how tough the wrestlers worked. It put over the wrestlers but also provided entertainment.

Can anyone tell me what song Psicosis used at ECW Heatwave 2000? It is doing my head in, as I remember the song from several years ago.

Has Vince McMahon made the majority of his money from wrestling, or does he have other projects?

Although everything seemed peachy after Louis Theroux's weird weekend, it seems that the

have had some problems. Take cover guys, Rick Deezel is shooting on Major Havoc!

I've only seen the Roberts one. As you may expect, he tells stories very well and the stories themselves are very interesting. The documentary part seems longer than most. Alot of it reveals stories about his family, and how he battled with his problems. By far and away the best WWE documentary I've seen.As for the matches you'll know what to expect. Massive thumbs up for the documentary, mild thumbs down for the matches. Don't let that put you off tho - something like Jake's DVD should really be based on his history and storytelling. I would have liked to have seen his time in Mexico in '94 documentated, but there's no stories/matches about it.

Cheers for that. As I am getting older I seem to be more interested in these documentary style features, rather than the matches themselves, so this sounds ideal. I will try and pick it up tomorrow. Thanks again.

Ok I've got a bit of free time at the moment, so fancy picking up a new DVD. Does anyone have any feedback on either the Jake Roberts DVD or the Superstars of the 80s packs for me? Any thumbs up/thumbs down comments would be much appreciated.

That is scary! Could have been a seriously nasty injury. Never it before, so thanks for the link

Exactly my words. What the fuck was he thinking?

Something along the lines of "Don't slip, don't slip, don't slip...fuck!".Were they ok? I don't keep up with any Ring Of Honor, so not sure how long ago it was, but it looks pretty recent. Both men took such a nasty spill.

Just watched a 1995 ECW event and Joey Styles said that the Heavenly Bodies had left ECW, and that one of them had "totally flipped". He then said, that if you weren't laughing at that, you would be in two weeks. So I assume one guy returned to WWF? But what was the significance of the phrase Joey used?

What is a "spot show"?

Why did Dusty Rhodes seemingly always have black eyes for the majority of his career?

It was in 1988. It was because the guy wanted to make ITV more with the times, and felt wrestling looked really old and out of date and made the network look bad for having it on. It didn't represent the new image or something along those lines.

Re: World of Sport - I'm being really picky, but that's not quite right. World of Sport as a programme (Dickie Davies and all) ended in 1985, with wrestling continuing as a seperate entity until 1988...I'd be very surprised if Konnan taught Bret the sharpshooter, because I can't think of any occasion their paths would have crossed before he was using it. Bret used it first in around spring 91. Konan didn't start in the WWF until Autumn 92 (his very short spell as Max Moon, before Paul Diamond took over). Maybe Bret was a big trader of CMLL or something...?

It is stated on one of the DVD extras that Konan taught Bret the move, but doesn't name the location/promotion where they worked together.

Just watched the Wrestlemania IX Countdown Show, and Yokozuna used a savage version of the Banzai drop on two jobbers. I mean he squashed, looked so painful. Just wondering when he stopped doing it in such a viscious manner, and was anyone hurt by his move?

I know the ones you mean brah.I remember asking about it on here a few years ago on here and somebody replied by saying that Yoko would work very stiff with the jobguys for some reason. I still get nightmares about that Bonzai Drop where Yoko legit BOUNCED off the guys chest.

Tell me about it! Yoko didn't even land on his feet/ankles first, he just dropped about 5 feet onto the poor guys. I genuinely had to turn away and cringe at the sight of it, far worse than seeing people get torn up by lighting tubes and barbed wire, in my opinion. If he was going stiff on those guys, I feel so sorry for them, they can't have been earning much and yet were getting absolutely flattened. Terrible.

Does anyone have the link to a music tribute video which has 30 seconds of comedy gold attatched at the end, consisting of approximately two dozen Ric Flair flops synchronised to 'I get knocked down, but I get up again...' I have searched for a while and no luck so far.

Did TNA colour man Don West ever work for ECW? I ask, because throughout 'The Rise + Fall' I keep seeing a security-type bloke at arenas who looks the spit of him.Either that or after a lifetime of perfect eyesight I'm actually going to have to start wearing glasses...

This site says it was him, for what that is worth.

Very random question, does anyone know what music video was posted that ends with a series of Ric Flair ol' man flops in series whilst Tubthumping's 'I get knocked down, but I get up again, you ain't ever gonna keep me down...' is played?I am sure it was part of the huge youtube link mania wave that is sweeping the board, but I have searched and still cannot find it.
