Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Why isnt Bob Backlund in the wwe hall of fame? Because he doesnt want to be. He agreed in 2004, and then found out that Pete Rose was going in, so he sacked it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members eugenespeed Posted April 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm enjoying watching the World of Sport matches shown on Sky channel 228, and remember watching British Wrestling as a kid, more so when it was a standalone programme as opposed to being on World of Sport though. Â My question is, what wrestling company actually was it that put on "the wrestling"? I've heard names such as All Star, Dale Martin, Joint Promotions etc, but what promotion actually put it on?

Adorable Adrian Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I too was after a copy of Heatwave 1997 so I asked Rob Feinstein over at RF Video about it and got this reply. Â "They never put it out sorry...not sure why but Paul E never released it" Â Looks like there may be no original footage of these shows left unless WWE has it.

(Joint Promotions was an alliance of promoters, with Dale Martin being the one covering Southern England.)  In 1987 and 88 it was split between Joint and All Star, with a handful of WWF shows.

Do you know who covered Northern England? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Rob Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) British wrestling related question - does anyone know when Reslo started, and the year it ended? I know it finished after World of Sport, as there's a Kojima/Finlay match from 95 on Youtube. Â Edit: Regarding Skip Sheffield, I met him about a month ago in Florida, and it looked like his hand was playing him up a lot still. He posed for photos with a bunch of kids, but said that he couldn't physically sign autographs. Edited April 29, 2011 by Big Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted April 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 As best I can tell, Reslo ran annually from 87 to 95, with reruns in 2002-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I thought that was a beer, not a promotion! Thought it was an advert!  Are any of the four companies mentioned there still going in some form or other, or have any direct history with any modern promotions?

ThePhenom Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 What was the story behind WWE losing the master tape of one of the episodes of Nitro a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cena Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I saw a couple of flyers earlier on advertising two UWE shows here in August and I'm just wondering if anybody knows anything about them? The flyers were very All Star-esque and that's exactly what I'm expecting them to be like but I'm still pretty curious nonetheless. I'll be attending the shows because there's a massive shortage of wrestling events that take place anywhere around here. I think the last time I went to a live show locally was around three or four years ago now. Â Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
