Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted January 1, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 When abouts did fake Diesel and Razor get taken off TV? And were they jobbed out first or just removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted January 1, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) When abouts did fake Diesel and Razor get taken off TV? And were they jobbed out first or just removed? Â They got jobbed out/phased down in the space of about a month, they lost the first RAW of 1997 against Furnas/LaFon and I believe the Rumble was the last appearance for both. Checking it out, they made no appearances (not even on the road) after the 1997 Royal Rumble. Edited January 1, 2013 by Chilli_Mondeo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Eddie Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I seem to recall one of both of them working somewhere else under the gimmicks for a bit too, possible a short run in Puerto Rico or Mexico. There is at 20% chance I'm talking shit though. Might even have been a few shows for the USWA or something like that (if that was still going then).

Nah, your right enough, they got shipped off to AAA for the spring/summer of '97 along with Jake Roberts (although he was probably there on his own back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a quick look at Rick Bognor's wiki but there was no mention. It's probably something I would have read in Powerslam. It's mad the amount of useless "facts" I probably have stored away from that magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 2, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Razor and Diesel both went to the USWA. Here is a video of them debuting there in 1997. Â . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted January 2, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Ah, thanks. I was just watching the `97 Rumble (Inspired by SOC `s review), and Fake Diesel popped up. It got me wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Bruno Sammartino and Randy Savage had a brief feud in the mid 80s I believe, when Bruno was around ostensibly to help his son's career get started. Are there any of their matches out there to watch? I imagine them being quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshC Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 There's one on the Randy Savage DVD box set, and it is indeed a good watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reznor Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Yeah pretty much, although I did see the Maestro pre-WCW with them once so I don't know how they played that off. Â The best thing about the 'WWF invasion' was changing most of their rudo midgets to WWF gimmicks. We had mini Vader, Mankind, Goldust and even Paul Bearer for a short while!

iamthedoctor Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 There's one on the Randy Savage DVD box set, and it is indeed a good watch. Â They had a few matches in Boston in 1987 that were televised including a Lumberjack match aswell. Im pretty sure I read somewhere they had a singles match in a cage that was also televised but not sure where. Might be worth checking out the old Coliseum Videos for that one. Â Under researching Sammartino/Savage matches I didnt even realise Bruno wrestled Honky on the March 1987 Boston show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
