TheOlympicHero Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Yeah someone on here mentioned a Bret/Shawn Ladder match at the Rumble. Not sure who be interesting to see where they got that info on. Alough it would made sense for Austin to face Bret at mania It's in the massive Observer article from 1997. When they asked Bret to take a paycut, he asked McMahon what the coming months had in store if he were to stop and McMahon presented those plans to him. Â Was just on WWE.com (first time in ages) and seen the WWE alumni list, it was just such a random list of names, does anybody know what the criteria is? Macho Man & The Warrior are on it but none of the TNA guys are, Animals on it but Hawk is'nt. The likes of Andre the Giant are missing but they have Billy Kidman & Lance Storm on it for fucks sake. Because there's a Hall of Fame section (featuring Hogan, Flair, Andre etc.) and an alumni's section featuring the likes of Warrior and Savage who arent in the HOF. Â So Bret wasent keen on dropping the WWF title to Austin at Mania? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 29, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) So Bret wasent keen on dropping the WWF title to Austin at Mania? I think it might have more to do with the fact he was asked to drop 20 grand a week from his contract. If your employee offered you a chance to stick around but drop a shitload of money and still work that daft schedule for a product you didnt like or go elsewhere and make three times that for a limited schedule what would you pick? Especially after McMahon had offered him his blessing to go to WCW. Â He did a stretcher job for Austin and made him look like a star throughout late 96 and early 97. And he knew for months he'd be losing to Austin at WrestleMania. He dropped the title to Yokozuna, Sid, Shawn Michaels and Bob Backlund. Austin would have been like Blackpool getting beat of Chelsea compared to this lot. Edited April 29, 2010 by Ian_hitmanhart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divorced Dad Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Is there a website that archives cards/results from events gone by? I'm trying to find the card for a 1985 WWF show but can't find it anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â While we re on the subject their was a raw match between Bret/Austin a street fight where Austin beat the crap out of Bret with a chair. Â In regards to the question. Would I be happy to take a paycut with a 12 year career or go to WCW to get fresh new matches. Â Hmmmm Id stick with WWE. Sure the extra money is good but loyality is better. I wouldnt be greedy with money and Id stay with the company before making wrestlemania 15 my final match. Id be happy to put austin over for the belt and have that final match in a years time at mania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillkid Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Is there any chance of JBL ever coming back to commentate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seargent Meerkat Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I think JBL's on fairly good terms with WWE, but I'm sure I read something about Layfield commentating MMA now, so maybe not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members eugenespeed Posted May 2, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted May 2, 2010 Why was X-Pac called X-Pac? Â Most wrestlers have a name that comes across as either a normal name (eg Lance Storm, Matt Hardy) or a character (eg The Undertaker) or even a bad pun (eg Hugh G Rection!), but what the hell does X-Pac mean? Is it slang, is it an acronym, is it from something? Anyone?!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
