Paid Members Statto Posted April 19, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 19, 2014 IIRC, there were a few fancams that made their way into the Strong Style Tapes catalogue after TWA took over WrestleXpress and therefore increased their exposure amongst the indy/FWA crowd (I think that's fair comment, it's certainly how it worked for me) but WX itself was the only one I ever obtained, having been in attendance. Â WX being October 2001, there is a definite possibility an early-2002 show would have been among them. Â I don't recall ever seeing any "official" TWA tapes - I think even after WX, Conway still retained that old school, All Star mentality that shows existed "in the moment" in the venue. I suppose that might have changed over time, but it must have been late-02/early-03 when he packed up shop for Thailand, wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 There's definetly some about, I've got at least one, maybe 2. The quality isn't any good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Austin Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Question: Listening to the Attitude Era podcast and they're up to Survivor Series 1999. They mention a segment from Raw around that time where DX pretend to rape Stephanie, only to reveal the next week that it was "only" a local college student. Â I have never heard of this pretty shocking-sounding segment (even for a company that has done necrophilia). Does anyone have a link to it? Haven't heard of it either. It would be pretty mental if they did consider it due to the Marlena "X-Files" thing with Pillman implied rape problems back in the day. Pillman's "X-Files" is pretty shocking even now. Â They just showed it on the Network. Pretty distasteful stuff. Basically DX keeps opening the locker room door to reveal a woman on the floor with Billy Gunns on top of her and you hear her screaming. They then make so horrific remarks and laugh about it, only making it worse when the fact it was 'just a local skank' is laughed off and they overtly imply she liked what she got. Even by WWE standards this was horrendous bad taste and came at the same week as they aired Bossman making fun of Big Shows dad dying of cancer.

Â I'm surprised the Network has lived up to being, for the most part, uncensored. It's definitely exceeded expectations in that way. I get the feeling something will happen to make them censor their stuff more in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even by WWE standards this was horrendous bad taste and came at the same week as they aired Bossman making fun of Big Shows dad dying of cancer. When it comes to the attitude era, I'll take a million rape scenes and cancer jokes over yet another viewing of DX driving a tank to WCW or Austin driving something that sprays something somewhere. WWE has really Delboyfallsthroughthebarred certain parts of the attitude era, so forgotten, hidden gems are much more welcome. Even if they're deplorable and crap.

Maikeru Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Why do a number of WWE superstars today have extremely bushy beards? Any particular reason? Don't really follow the current product much and it's a serious question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Haven't hipsters been rocking the bushy beards lately? Or were, maybe not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think said hipsters made it all fashionable, it seems to be the big thing with male models too going by what I see on Tumblr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.PeterVenkman Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Does anyone know who put together the Stephanie/Trish match from No Way Out 2001? I thought it'd probably be Dave Finlay but he would've still been with WCW at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really follow the current product much and it's a serious question. Â If you've been watching TNA Impact recently you will know that this trend is all Dixie Carters idea. In fact, according to Dixie, Vince and D Bryan owe her royalties!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
