Paid Members air_raid Posted January 20, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 thank you was just watching some 94 wwf and it just made me wonder. Â Sure, Tatanka in '94 had some heat, but that had a fairly limited shelf life, as did the Corporation as top heel unit in general, even if they did give Taker a bit of grief. Nobody ever stayed THE star of Team Ted, it was always about the next acquisition to keep things fresh, and I think Tatanka suffered from that. I'm assuming the Lex/Tatanka run was something they decided on when Luger's planned title reign got shelved. Lex makes it sound like he was forever being told he would get his time when it was right, I can almost imagine Vince promising a program with Diesel once he and Tatanka had been blown off. If so much attention wasn't focused on Bam Bam/LT in the early months of '95 and the ongoing Luger/Tatanka dispute given a bit of television attention, they could have had their grudge match on 'Mania rather than Sunday Night Slam. Allied Powers was the writing on the wall for Lex, he was never getting his turn. Â Sorry, I hijacked your Tatanka post and turned it into a Luger post. I need to stop doing that. I fucking love Lex.

Richie Freebird Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Didn't Superstar Billy Graham say he was dieing ages ago and he's still kicking about? Was he working or? He's been having a little internet feud with Chris Jericho recently too. I can't seem to find his posts about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 20, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Just a quick one (oo-er). When did the "Fake Diesel" debut in the WWF? I remember that chaotic Raw ending with Fake Razor brawling with Savio Vega, but no sight or mention of "Fake Diesel". Cheers.

patiirc Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Watching The Rise and Fall of WCW, both Sting and Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, do a variation of a Head Scissors takedown that basically involve running up the opponent, sitting on their shoulders and then using their body to pull them over. Is there anyone who still does that today or a reason why it's fallen out of favour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 20, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Probably not the reason, but I've always felt that it looked a bit dodgy for the guy taking the move's neck. It does look quite worrying when they take them over like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Raw Thursday wasn't til February '97. You're probably getting confused with Raw Championship Friday which aired early September. The first Raw appearance of DieselKane DDS was the 30/09/96 Raw when he interfered at the end of the Savio/"Razor" match, although really his first appearance was a glimpse of both of them beating up Vega at Mind Games.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Pat Patterson was responsible for the finishes and the general booking of the PPVs, though. Most of the matches would have been went through Patterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted January 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Does Patterson have any role with the WWE these days? I heard he was a consultant, but what does that ever mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
