Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Something that has bugged me for a while now; why did Sid Vicious wear tight jeans towards the end of WCW as ring gear? Was it to freshen up his look? If so, horrible. Edited January 30, 2011 by Saviour.222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insert_name_here Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'd always assumed it was to cover up whatever gnarly scars he got from having his leg repaired after the infamous "big boot" incident. Mind you having said that i'm sure he actually started wearing jeans before said leg was destroyed so i may well be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Eddie Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'd always assumed it was to cover up whatever gnarly scars he got from having his leg repaired after the infamous "big boot" incident. Mind you having said that i'm sure he actually started wearing jeans before said leg was destroyed so i may well be wrong  Sid didn't wrestle for WCW after the leg-break incident. If memory serves me, the first time he wrestled after the injury was on a smallish Indy show in a semi squash against former TNA wrestler Johnny Devine. That was years after.

Gossy Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 He wore Jeans in ECW during his brief '99 run before returning to WCW. So, as said, probably just a slight image change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2011 He wore his normal tights for all of 1999 and 2000 after he left ECW for WCW, though. Sid came down with a shoulder injury in 2000, and returned as soon as he got clearence, so maybe he had the Davey Boy Smith thing of wearing jeans because it makes your body look better than if you wore those swimming trunks. Sid looked skinnier back in late 2000 than he had done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey_Jim Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Firstly, I apologise if this has been asked a gazillion times, but does anybody know of any good streaming sites apart from justin.tv (which never works for me) to watch the Rumble tomorrow? Â Same here, Justin.tv has been bollocks for a while now. If someone wouldn't mind dropping me a PM with a link that'd be proper bo. Was meant to be going to a Royal Rumble party around my mates but need a back-up if things fall through. not exactly a streaming site but I watch using this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Ok this may have been answered before but I can't find it. I've been watching some old Wrestlemanias, last nightwas 6, and I wondered why on my non-tv versions Demolition's music had been changed? It seems strange as no-one elses seems to be any different.

Paid Members air_raid Posted January 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2011 Likely a copyright issue. Loads of stuff gets edited when crossing mediums these days. Edge's Rob Zombie music gets dubbed over on DVDs, the nWo music is absent from WrestleMania XVIII etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhenom Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I have a Virgin + box and I was wondering if I ordered the Royal Rumble can you record the live event? Nope, you can't im affraid. The repeats are all day tommorow, with the last one starting at 9 at night if you wanted to watch it Monday anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted January 30, 2011 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2011 Here's one for the stat boys: me and a mate were chatting in the pub the other night about wrestling deaths (fun night!) and we were trying to work out what the oldest WWE/F pay-per-view is where every participant on the card is still alive. Not just wrestlers, but managers/valets, too. Â I know it'll be a simple case of trawling back through the cards, but I can't be bothered. Besides, someone on here probably knows off the top of their head. Â Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) OK, so you can write off Wrestling Classic which had Davey Boy, then any of the ones that had Andre on. Then any of the ones that had Sherri Martel on it. Then any of the ones with Yoko on it. Then any of the ones with Owen. He crosses over with Bossman's second run. Bossman crosses with Benoit. That takes you up to Benoit's injury in 2001. Mike Awesome appears on Invasion. Test appears on the next run of cards which only breaks at.. Â WrestleMania 18, which I believe is your winner. Â *NOTES for smartarses : Yes I realize Sherri wasn't on Survivors 92, but Owen was. I realize Yoko wasn't on SummerSlam 94, but Owen was. I realize Owen wasn't on Judgment Day '98 but Hawk was. I realize neither Owen nor Hawk was on Survivors 98 but Bossman was. Edited January 30, 2011 by air_raid_crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
