Paid Members air_raid Posted June 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) I was just wondering what made WWF have Summerslam in this country during 1992 ? Â Domestic business was down, we were giving them monster merchandise sales and selling out every time they came over, and they knew they'd get a massive gate here and sell shitloads of merchandise. It was a good call. I've read several times that in terms of actual people in the building rather than "official attendance," it was the most attended WWF/E PPV ever. Â In Bret's bookie he mentions learning from JJ Dillon that SummerSlam was going to be in either Washington or London, and he was scheduled to drop the Intercontinental title to Shawn, but he suggested to Vince that it would do better business in England if he dropped it to Davey and DBS could do the honours for Shawn when they get back. He also suggested the ladder match if Vince wanted him to drop it to Michaels in DC. Vince went with the former. Â Two interesting notes - all the best things that ever happened in the WWF were because of Bret Hart's ideas. And even in 1992 he was suggesting alternative scenarios that both meant him avoiding getting pinned by Michaels. Â Anyone know why Jim Neidhart didn't enter the Hart Foundation stable in 1997 until a month into the angle? Was Neidhart unavailable? Or was it just something that came to them later on? Â Speculation : Anvil wasn't under contract when the angle began, and Bret went to bat for Anvil to get him his job back as part of the story? Vince and Neidhart having a bit of a chequered past over money/lawsuits etc, I believe it may have required a bit of persuasion.

Paid Members air_raid Posted June 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2011 Is TNA's record attendance from a show over here? Â Wembley this year had between 10,000 and 12,000 which it's said by falling anywhere between those numbers is their biggest attendance to date. Biggest domestic was 5500 in Brooklyn in July '10.

Vamp Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 That they're a promotion that uses a studio to film their weekly televised show? Its not like its something that's only happened to TNA. Promotions used to be run that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dart Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 According to Wikipedia (so, who knows) TNA broke their attendance record at Wembley in 2009 with 8,100. Whether they have broken it again since it doesn't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Sir Steve Redgrave Posted June 18, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Is the JBL alternate commentary any good on the One Night Stand 2005 DVD?

Big Rob Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Have their been any good articles written about the history of deathmatches, or deathmatches in general? I seem to recall seeing one online, but I can't find it anymore. Â Edit: Also, has anyone ever promoted a match that could only be won by countout? I used to do those all the time on No Mercy N64.

I used to do those all the time on No Mercy N64. Â The only match I recall that had an element of that was the Savage/Crush falls count anywhere match at WMX which required a wrestler to be counted out of the ring for 60 seconds after a fall had taken place. Which was stupid, they should have just had a standard weapon-strewn arena-wide brawl ending in one pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fox Piss Posted June 18, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2011 Does anybody know the deal between Sunny and Bulldog? Reason I'm asking is because I'm watching the Candido shoot and it didn't really confirm or deny and i remember the Sunny shoot (Later 1 after Candido died) saying she was going to tell the Bulldog story but then didn't and said she would leave it for her book.
