Paid Members air_raid Posted March 26, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 26, 2015 My son was having a match with his figures just there. Los Matadores vs The Usos with a very unique stipulation. The losing team have to face each other in a match and the loser is fired. Anybody ever seen this in any promotion? Major or otherwise. Sounds like a tremendous plot device. After you've fought tooth and nail to avoid getting the sack, the anger with which two guys will then fight, each blaming the other for them being in that predicament... yeah! Of course if it was THAT match, at the end of the singles match I would want 2003 Eric Bischoff to magically appear, Dr Beckett style, and inform ALL FOUR of them that screw them, THEY'RE ALL FIRED! Oh boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm incredibly proud that he hasn't even been on this planet for 5 years and he can come up with stuff like that. Personally I'd tease a fingerpoke of doom offer from the guy who got pinned but turn it in to a crafty Roll up - Mero style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jizzlobber Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Going to be in London this weekend and just wondering if anyone knows anywhere showing Mania? I'm aware of the Hooked on Wrestling event, but curious to see if there's anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted March 28, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2015 Has Sting ever set up the Scorpion Death Drop with a scoop lift? I ask because, years ago when I used to get CAW formulas to re-create Sting in the SmackDown! games, the authors always said to pick the reverse DDT that was set up with the scoop lift. I thought the reason was it was the closest to the Scorpion Death Drop, as the other reverse DDTs were the Christian-style ones where the attacker drops on their stomach as opposed to falling backwards. But even Sting’s Wikipedia page says ones of his finishing move is, “Scorpion Death Drop (Inverted DDT, sometimes preceded by a scoop lift) – 1996–present”. I’ve never seen Sting set up the Scorpion Death Drop in this way. So has he at any point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted March 28, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2015 I don't think he ever did. That's a wiki edit by someone confusing video games for real life, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule One Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 A long shot but does anyone know where to find a high quality picture/scan of the side of this cabinet? *WWF Wrestlemania Cabinet Picture* Not 100% perfect but this may help: http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag58/synonym999/Midway%20Fighter-cabinets/Cabinet%208%20-%20WrestleMania/DSC_0409_zpsb488a6dc.jpg~original Picture is huge so I've linked it instead of posting it. There's a few more of the unit here as well: http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/synonym999/library/Midway%20Fighter-cabinets/Cabinet%208%20-%20WrestleMania?sort=2&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 30, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 30, 2015 Why was the Survivor Series 88 vhs out of order? I remember as a kid thinking it was odd that halfway through the video, Howard Finkle introduced the Warrior's team and said "this is your opening contest."

Paid Members JNLister Posted March 31, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2015 Don't know for sure, but I always figured that in editing it down to two hours they decided the main event and tag match would be complete and the other two highlights, then decided it made more sense artistically to go full/edit/edit/full rather than have the first match on the tape be edited down.

Paid Members eugenespeed Posted April 1, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 1, 2015 I remember during the Invasion, a segment where Steve Austin beat the living crap out of Tazz to "teach him respect". They were both on the same side, what was the reasoning behind this? Was it ever explained? Also, why wasn't Taker at WMX and 16? Was he injured?

dopper Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 He took time off after Royal Rumble 1994 as his first kid was being born which led to him missing WM10, and he had surgery on a torn pec (iirc) in late 1999 which led to him missing WM2000.

Paid Members eugenespeed Posted April 1, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 1, 2015 Makes sense. If he hadn't have missed those two, I wonder if he would he been 23 - 1 and Lesnar defeated him, or if they would have ended it earlier. Guess only Vince and Co will ever know.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 1, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I'm sure the torn pec was the initial injury in 1999, but didn't he also tear his groin while training for his comeback? I have this memory in my head from the time that he was supposed to return in January 2000 and got another injury which put him out of Mania. EDIT: Actually he was limping around in mid-99 if I remember. He might have went down with a torn groin and injured his pec before Mania. I know he had a load of injuries and was thinking of packing it in. Edited April 1, 2015 by IANdrewDiceClay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yeah I seem to remember him picking up minor injuries all the time was why they put him with Show, to ease his workload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
