Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted December 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I remember I had that cracking figure. Always the champ in my fantasy fed back in the day. I gave him a spinning Mabel-esq kick for his finish. Memories. Like the smiles we left behind. Edited December 29, 2015 by bAzTNM#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryFice Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Â Â Just checked on Cawthorn's site. Warrior pinned Undertaker a few times, most of them were DQ finishes though. I couldn't see anything on there that said he'd pinned him, I don't know if I just missed it. Some would say DQ, some just said Ultimate Warrior beat Undertaker or Ultimate Warrior vs Undertaker. It seems like they'd have done the same finish every night, although Warrior did beat him in bodybag and coffin matches so a pin isn't out of the question. Â It seems mad to me that they'd have Taker beaten by Tito when Tito didn't even really exist anymore. Although El Matador was still him, wasn't it? It wasn't like Saba Simba and Repo Man. Saba Simba was acknowledged as being Tony Atlas, at least he was on the debut of the gimmick. Roddy Piper's commentary on it is a hoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Was he not announced as el matador, Tito Santana? Have it in my head that's how it was done at wm8 Edited December 29, 2015 by Louch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 They ran a series of vignettes showing him training to be a matador so we were definitely supposed to regard him as Tito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted December 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2015 Jesus Christ, yes. Every single Matador match ever, Tito was also introduced by name as though "El Matador" was a given nickname like "The Apex Predator" is for Randy Orton, and the commentators would also refer to Tito by name, and his history, on occasion talk openly about his going back to his roots as we saw in the vignettes described above. Â While we're at it, I also have the Matador Hasbro. You all really needed to know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2015 I remember being proper chuffed when my dad came in from work one night with the El Matador and Tatanka Hasbros. Fuck, I was easily pleased. Life was simple back then, wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DraxSpago Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 When WWE went through that phase of desperately wanting to replace JR in 2005 (chucking money at Mike Goldberg, hiring Joey Styles) why didn't they just do what they ended up doing a few years later and move Michael Cole over to Raw?

Slapnut Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Are there any episodes of NWA World Championship Wrestling on the Network that are classed as must-watch? I want to make my way through some of them but I'd prefer to just watch the more important ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted January 3, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2016 28 December 1985 with Magnum TA-Ole Anderson and Flair-Ron Garvin is meant to be pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really Big Shoe Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Was their a new WWE Main Event last week?, as it wasn't on last Thursday. There was one earlier hours of this morning, which is up on Sky on Demand so I assume that's the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
