Rule One Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Anybody know anything further on this? Hogan Vs The Outlaw - NWA Title Mention  At some point early on the commentary it claims Hogan is the uncrowned NWA champion and held the belt for a monumental 37 seconds. Does anyone know if this is true and if so, does footage exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 20, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Off the top of my head, it might have been the one where Hogan beat Harley Race by DQ when Ox Baker interfered but didnt win the belt. The USWA commentators were probably just ignoring the fact Hogan may have "held" the belt (in that he did the old spot where the babyface pretend they didnt know about the belt not changing hands on a DQ), so it looks like the new star of the territory beat the NWA champion. Its just an old trick to help get their current star over. Hense the "uncrowned champion" comment. Lawler played footage of him pinning Hogan throughout the Hulkamania era to prove he was better than Hogan. Perception is reality as they say.

Richie Freebird Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 When the Wrestling Channel (RIP) used to show World of Sport all the time, I always noticed footage of Hogan in the opening montage / credits. I asked the question in Power Slam magazine at the time and Martin stated that Hogan had never wrestled for any of the World of Sport associated promotions and that is was simply exploitation, added to the opening to trick fans into believing there would be big name Americans wrestling on the show. Â My question then is this, where was the footage from, and did Vince or the copywirght owner ever attempt to do anything about Hogan being pimped on a show on which he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Rock Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I was just watching a match from 97 that was from an episode of Shotgun, what is the venue and whats the backgroud as to why they used this venue and not a typical arena? and what was Shotgun, was it a weekly show or something? Iv watched WWE for alot of years and I can recall watching Shotgun but I remember it being along the lines of Livewire or Heat and it was filmed in areas im guessing before Raw similar to Superstars now....  Thanks  heres the video I watched incase some of you havent seen the venue or don't know what I'm talking about lol....Fake Diesal v Marc Mero...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7FdFVfM4OI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhenom Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Shotgun Saturday Night at first was the WWF's way of experimenting it's edgy content that would follow for the next few years, it was live Saturday late nights and was in places like the Hard Rock Cafe, Nightclubs and even a tube station. Then from March '97 until it was replaced with Jakked/Metal in August '99, it was a syndicated "Jobber Show" that was taped after Raw at first, and then before. When they started doing Heat in August '98, sometimes it fitted in with the tapings for that. Other markets (Including the UK eventually on Sky One) got the daytime version "Shot Gun", as well as "Shotgun Challenge" which is another one we got before. Both of which had different commentary. From '97 until '99 the International version of Superstars got the matches repeated with different dubbed commentary. I guess the reason they stopped doing the Live and controversial shows was because was because they went the way of "Attitude" full time from the March.

liverpool1 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Is there a reason that Low Ki/Kaval hasnt been brought over to the UK for any shows in the last year or so? I thought companies over here would have tried to book him cause of how good he is in the ring and the fact hes an ex WWE star and Indy legend. Does he charge too much for bookings? Is there just no demand to see him wrestle over here? Does he have a rep of being hard to deal with? Just wondered if anyone had heard anything. Cheers.

Not sure I can answer your question but i'd love to see him in IPW:UK. He'd work some classics with some of the regulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobystag Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 When I spoke to him in March he did want to come back to England, but no one had contacted him yet. Â He spoke very highly of Mark Sloan tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
