Dr.PeterVenkman Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Anyone remember that rumour a few years ago that WWE didn't want screenshots printed in computer game magazines of Triple H in a vulnerable position or something like that? Was it ever confirmed to be true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted April 26, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) He should have been sacked after the first one, when he grassed up R-Truth and got him suspended as well. Dick move. Â Edit. Fuck, already been said. Edited April 26, 2013 by CleetusVanDamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 He should have been sacked after the first one, when he grassed up R-Truth and got him suspended as well. Dick move. Edit. Fuck, already been said.  I've got nothing other than gossip to substantiate this, but I understand being a grass can be a route to a main event push. In his case he probably played that card to keep his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted April 26, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2013 When Mrs Loki and I were out and about on holiday, we ended up at a funfair, and I ended up telling her how the phrase "mark" came from how carny folk would literally "mark" a gullible public member with a spot of chalkdust or whatever so the other sideshow owners could pick them out and cheat them, basically. Afterwards, I though "is that true, or did I just completely make that up?" I'm sure I read that on here, can someone like Lister confirm that story?  That's true. There are also stories of tramps leaving a mark on the gatepost of homes where they'd successfully asked for some food so that other tramps knew it was worth a knock.

There were 3 marks they'd leave on the front: one to show honesty, one for good food and another for a liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bully Busick Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Does anyone on here remember a Wrestler from the late 80s/90s called Randy Rhodes?  I ask as i remember seeing him at a show in around 91/92 in Ilford promoted by WOW Wrestling(Peacock Gym)  I recall seeing him in the classic jobber role on shows like Primetime ect  I guess thats how they got away with claiming they had WWF stars on the card that night  He wrestled a guy that was meant to be Battle Kat  He had a fantastic Blonde mullett and a tash that was grown for porn  The internet is not giving much info but what i can see is that he may have passed away due to Cancer  Anyone?

Rossman Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 If you mean this Randy Rhodes, then you might have more luck searching for Dirty Rhodes, the gimmick he used in Memphis in the mid 80's. His real name is Roger Smith if that helps. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted April 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 27, 2013 I went to one of those Randy Rhodes/Battlecat shows, and the guy above is not the same Randy Rhodes. It was this one: Â Â Here's his Twitter, with 5 followers and no posts since 2009. His last tweets mention he has leukemia, so he may have died.

Big Bully Busick Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Thats him Astro  Was pretty decent in ring if i remember rightly   I saw the twitter account and it does give you the impression he is no longer around   I remember the show had a fake Papa Shango too ,The Witch Doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Paul's Bin Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Has anyone got a detailed answer to why ROH and TNA stopped exchanging talent in 2007? I know TNA wanted their talent exclusive but is there any more to it than than. As history has shown it made both companies suffer in the long run.

Loki Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 ROH were doing PPV, and TNA wanted their talent only on TV/PPV through them, I think that was the crux of it. Same way TNA talent can't appear on other people's DVDs at the moment. Â How has TNA suffered though? I can't see Jay Briscoe, Jay Lethal or Matt Hardy setting Impact's ratings on fire. In fact, if TNA wanted them, they'd be there rather than ROH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
