Paid Members JNLister Posted July 12, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 12, 2018 They were a nice trivia note in that they faced off on all five pay-per-views in 1991: locked up in the Rumble, singles at WrestleMania, six-man at SummerSlam, opposing teams at Survivor Series and singles at Tuesday in Texas.

Which would have been laying it on far too thick and obviously never actually happened for a stip on a card which by 91 standards had enough of them.

Really Big Shoe Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I think when 5spike signed the new deal the One Night Only and other PPVs weren't part of it. So its unlikely it'll be on TV unfortunately. On their UK Facebook page they posted this link to buy the PPV replay https://impac.tw/slamfite I imagine it'll be up on their GWN eventually too. Fight Network had Slammiversary listed last night but it was the 2017 show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 31, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) How far back does the Wrestling Observer Newsletter digital archive currently go back? EDIT: No worries, found out. Currently goes back as far as February 1, 1988 Wrestling Observer Newsletter: The first Royal Rumble up against Bunkhouse Stampede. But they randomly only have three issues up for 1988, then it jumps to 1991. Edited July 31, 2018 by SpursRiot2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Got 86-92 and part of 85. Um...all of them, if possible? I'm working on a project. I do have an Observer subscription so I'm not just after stealing from Dave but those issues for whatever reason just aren't there.

Otto Dem Wanz Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Does anyone know what year this t shirt (that I've just bought to wear around the house in) is from? Â Â I've seen the original has the WWF logo on the back so it predates May 2002, but I can't find exactly when its from. Does anyone here remember it coming out at the time and can help? Cheers.

Really Big Shoe Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Was wondering what are the PPV buys for WWE events on Sky Box Office & in the US?. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members eugenespeed Posted August 6, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 6, 2018 It's a well known story that Vince put on the first Survivor Series in order to run it against Starrcade 87 and threatened PPV companies that if they chose Starrcade they wouldn't get Mania IV. My question is, did many companies say "screw you Vince" and run Starrcade? If so, did Vince stay true to his promise and block them from getting Mania? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted August 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'm not sure about the second part, but hardly anybody put the finger up at Vince. I'm sure I read in The Observer before that only a company in San Jose/San Francisco and a handful of PPV carriers in the Carolina's carried the JCP show instead of the WWF's alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
