Dirty Eddie Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 What was the deal with The Headhunters's WWF run (if you can call it that) as The Squat Team? Why so brief? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzLqDq3PkoM I recall hearing at the time (probably powerslam considering when it was) that WWF offered them around half what they were used to making in japan so they walked.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted March 28, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) On the UK Delta VHS release of "ECW Barely Legal 1997", is the Raven vs Terry Funk match cut to shreds by the BBFC overlords? I can't find anything to suggest it was. Thanks! Edited March 28, 2012 by bAzTNM#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) On the UK Delta VHS release of "ECW Barely Legal 1997", is the Raven vs Terry Funk match cut to shreds by the BBFC overlords? I can't find anything to suggest it was. Thanks! It's edited for about ten seconds early in the match because of Terry Funk's blood loss. I watched the UK Delta VHS release when it came out and years later I watched the unedited version. Edited March 28, 2012 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut out whatever Raven is doing to Funk, but show his massively bloody face right in the camera. You'd think they'd have cut it the other way around.

Paid Members WWFChilli Posted March 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Did Lanny Poffo ever actually work a match in WCW? Some say (Jericho) they saw his one and only match. Other places state he never wrestled but picked up $150,000 for several years he was under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other places state he never wrestled but picked up $150,000 for several years he was under contract. I can only find one match where he grappled using his real name.. WCW @ Ft. Myers, FL - Lee Civic Center - October 14, 1997 WCW Saturday Night taping: Lanny Poffo defeated an unknown Chris Jericho defeated Rick Fuller Nothing in 1998 or 1999.

Richie Freebird Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Was it Rey Misterio Sr. alongside Konan in the international tag tournament at Starrcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Eddie Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Was it Rey Misterio Sr. alongside Konan in the international tag tournament at Starrcade ’90? If so, why did the on screen graphic say “Misteric” (Jim Ross also used this name on commentary) and then the ring announcer when announcing the victory in the first round say “Misteriso”? It certainly was him. I can only assume the mistakes were a combination of WCW production fucking up and some sort of mistake in translation (or even someone's hand-writing) somewhere. Still, you'd think someone listening backstage would have heard of the bloke and know what his name was to inform JR! .. I thought the ring announcer called him "Rey Misterioso" ?

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted March 31, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2012 Wiki says it was him. No idea RE the commentary, especially as it was a long time before WCW started misspelling Atlanta on stationery and putting "Evan Knoble and Jamie Karagis" on the entrance nameplates.
