Dr.PeterVenkman Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Just seen Robocop and Sting in the worst attire thread, does anyone know who played Robocop in that segment? I'm assuming Peter Weller wasn't up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) This'll be the first year in a while I haven't had Sky or Virgin to order the Rumble. What are WWE like with shutting down streams for it? Â And while we're at it, in preparation, what are they like for Mania?

NEWM Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Did Shawn Michaels have any televised matches between the Rockers breakup and the '92 Rumble? Â I don't think so. I remember having this same thought a while back, and if memory serves, other than some SWS/WWF crossover stuff where he teamed with Japanese guys or WWF heels (which I don't think was televised), they had loads of Rockers stuff already filmed from December (including the Barber Shop segment) that carried the breakup on TV all the way to the Rumble. Â Again, I'm going off memory a bit here, but IIRC, they filmed the Barber Shop segment well early in December, and The Rockers still did a shitload more house shows together safe in the knowledge that the breakup segment wasn't going out on TV until early '92.

Going by the historyofwwe site, I think you're right, although i'm a bit surprised as I would have guessed otherwise and said he'd had a Superstars or Challenge debut in the new gimmick. Â You're definitely right regarding the Rockers still teaming for a while after the barber shop incident was filmed, as I remember finding out a few years back that the barber shop incident was actually taped at the This Tuesday In Texas taping. Â Was Jannetty gone by the Rumble, or was he just being kept off tv to sell the injury before returning to build to WM8? I always wondered whether the he was planned to make an appearance in some way. It wasn't the type of incident that absolutely needed a long layoff, they could have given him a brutus/virgil mask or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Pepper Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Why do WWE have Referees Inside the cage In cage matches. It seems unnecessary . WWE seemed to start this practice In the 90's,before that they only had referees outside the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had other stuff to build up and I'm sure it more than likely got a mention on Mean Gene's update segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted January 31, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Checking the history of WWE site, the Barber Shop angle aired on the 12th on Wrestling Challenge. It was then re-run on Superstars the following weekend, which was the weekend of the Rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, cheers. So if what was probably planned a few weeks in advance came to fruition, the Rumble could have been even better as Jannetty and the Hitman would no doubt be involved.  Not a bad couple of matches for the heartbreak kid to begin and end his career in....

Snitsky's back acne Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Anyone know what's happening with Martin Stone? Is he still injured? Has he left the business?

Big Rob Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Besides the multi-gimmick cage match with Ted DiBiase, can anyone recommend me some good Jim Duggan matches? If they were online as well, that would be super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
