freaky Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Has there been any news on Daizee Haze since it was announced she was taking some time out, presumably for being the approximate weight of a munch bunch dessert? Quick web search didn't turn anything up. She accompanied MsChif at a reunion Dynamo Pro Wrestling show in Glen Carbon, IL on December 1. She didn't wrestle though.

CavemanLynn Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Is there anywhere outside Japan that does custom designed knee pads, like the printed designs Hiroshi Tanahashi and Keiji Mutoh have? I can find loads of sites offering knee pad covers, but none offering printed pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Paul's Bin Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Just looking at the biggest disappointment of 2012 thread and looking at the gif. Which leads me to this question.. Â At No Way Out 1998, was Savio Vega meant to be the replacement for Shawn Michaels in the big tag match? I was watching the PPV recently and he just doesn't seem like the ideal replacement for the match. I'm sure around the time that Latino stable Vega was in were just being jobbed out when they were used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) I think they were waiting until as late as possible before deciding whether to risk Shawn wrestling or not. Â He was still part of the match as of the previous week's Raw, but I think the news that a mystery partner would be replacing Shawn was made on the pre-show or it might even have been the start of the ppv. Â By that point, all the top stars in town already had a match. Savio was the best of the rest. Edited January 17, 2013 by dopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 How long was it after that until Chyna actually wrestled? She'd have been a much more novel replacement, but was she completely incapable at that point? They could've trained her up for a couple of spots in the match, I'd have thought.

Dirty Eddie Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I think they were waiting until as late as possible before deciding whether to risk Shawn wrestling or not. He was still part of the match as of the previous week's Raw, but I think the news that a mystery partner would be replacing Shawn was made on the pre-show or it might even have been the start of the ppv.  By that point, all the top stars in town already had a match. Savio was the best of the rest.   Plus I believe that Los Boricuas had already been used as "hired goons" for DX at that point, so there was some connection (shit as it was). It probably also helped that Savio used to do those crazy barbed-wire and blood matches in Puerto Rico so was more than happy having a hardcore match against the likes of Funk and Cactus.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) They knew full well before the night Shawn wasn't wrestling and that Savio would replace him. Them building it up during the pre-show was just a shameless attempt to increase buys for No Way Out. They could have easily put Goldust in there instead of Savio. Goldust was a way bigger name than him at the time. Announcing Goldust on the pre-show would have been far better than what they did.

Paid Members air_raid Posted January 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) They knew full well before the night Shawn wasn't wrestling and that Savio would replace him. Â Yeah. Shawn went to get looked at immediately after the Rumble and was told "you're done", and didn't wrestle between then and 'Mania.

Paid Members Maverick Posted January 18, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2013 Didn't Superstar Billy Graham say he was dieing ages ago and he's still kicking about? Was he working or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 He's a Billy Bullshitter. For about ten years now, he's been trying to get attention with illnesses and his love-hate relationship with WWE and his Hall of Fame status. He probably is quite a poorly man, though.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 19, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) According to the WrestlingClassics.com board, he might actually be dying this time. He is supposedly "showing signs of heart failure". Edited January 19, 2013 by bAzTNM#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chardcire Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 why did Tatanka leave the E in 95/96. was he released? it just seems weird that he left after being a stong upper midcard player whereas deadwood of the time such as billy gunn stuck around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Smoking Gunns were perennial tag team champions at the time of Tatanka's demise, they were far from deadwood.  Tatanka had fell significantly down the pecking order after Ted acquired the Kid, then Austin. He had gained a fair bit of weight and was mostly used for putting babyfaces over in the first quarter of '96 and they likely assumed nobody would miss him. They were right.
