    I think it was four smaller box sets (1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20) for $70 each, or the full box set for $299 ($29 extra) which also includes 21 and some collectable goodies.

    in reference to WrestleMania DVD's being relelased soon in the thread about the Warrior DVD, anybody know if these will be full unedited versions of the shows, or will they be like Silver Visions releases?
  3. Just re-reading the 'Death of WCW' book and near the end of the book it mentions DDP facing a wrestler called 'Machine' I believe it was on Thunder. He was supposed to crotch himself on the top turnbuckle after Page hit the ropes, but instead he climbed onto the buckle, screamed and then jumped a few feet in the air before straddling himself on the ropes.Anybody know who this guy was?

    I think this was mentioned a few pages back. People came to the conclusion it was Emory Hail under a mask.
    Whoops, sorry :blush:

No lyrics though.

  5. Ric Flair, Nitro, 14/09/98

    "My God, thank you. Thank you very much. I'm almost embarrassed by the response, but when I see this, I know that the twenty five years that I've spent trying to make you happy every night of your life was worth every damn minute of it.""Now, somebody told me that the Horsemen were having a party tonight in Greenville! Could that be true that the most elite group, that Eric Bischoff said was dead, is alive and well? Bischoff, this might be my only shot, and I've got to tell you, I'm going to make it my best.""Is this what you call a great moment in TV? That's wrong, because this is REAL! This is not bought and paid for! It's a real life situation! Just like the night in Columbia, South Carolina (when Arn Anderson retired), when you looked at me, tears in my eyes, and said "God, that's good TV", it was real! Arn Anderson passed the torch, it was real, damn it! You think Sting was crying in the dressing room like I was on TV if it wasn't real? This guy, my best friend, is one of the greatest performers who ever lived, and you, you squashed him, in one night. Then you get on the phone and tell me, 'disband the Horsemen, they're dead.' Disband the Horsemen, me? You know what, I looked at myself in the mirror the next day and I saw a pathetic figure that gave up and quit! And for that, I owe you, the wrestling fans, I owe these guys an apology. Because it won't happen again!"Eric Bischoff started walking down the aisle, saying "You're finished Flair!"Flair responded, "Bischoff, whatever you think...no, you're an overbearing asshole! That's right! You're obnoxious, you're an obnoxious, overbearing ass! Abuse of power! You! Abuse of power! Cut me off! Come on! It's called abuse of power! (Flair threw down his jacket) You suck! You, I hate your guts. I hate your guts. You are a liar, you're a cheat, you're a scam, you are a no good son of a (bitch, which was muted on the broadcast). Fire me? I'm already fired! Fire me! I'm already fired!"

  6. Why is a hold never broken when they reach the ropes? as far as I was aware, if someone grabbed the ropes, the hold should automatically be broken, but instead they just drag them centre ring and the hold remains, it bugs me ... never used to happen, dammit!!

    It's never been explicitly explained, but since Angle-Lesnar at SummerSlam 2003, the rule seems to be that you don't have to break the hold just because the opponent grabs the ropes. However, the ref will start a count and if he gets to five and the opponent is still holding the ropes, you are DQed. If you break away from the ropes, the ref will/can stop the count.
    ...which sucks.
    And seems pretty illogical, surely the point of trying to get to the ropes in the first place is to have the hold broken, bah!
  7. Two Questions....

     

    1)What's the plans for Paul Heyman? I'm assuming he was written off when he was put in a casket by The Underweartaker on SD in the weeks leading up to the Rumble, are they holding him back to do something with the (possible) ECW PPV? or is it a punishment for daring to even question the McMahon-Helmsley regime?

     

    B) Anyone know where I could get that spoof Kevin Nash 'My Sacrifice' video from? I remember seeing it on Wrestlecrap yonks ago, but had completely forgot about it until Mr Lister's earlier post! :laugh:

     

    Edit -

     

    Another question, that's always bugged me...
