David Bixenspan (who I appreciate can be a polarising figure) did a great piece on it here https://www.sbnation.com/longform/2016/1/20/10785762/paul-wight-wwe-boxing As Hogan is involved I take some aspects with a pinch of salt, but it makes for an interesting read if you have some time. Cheers for that, didn't know any of that, only thing I remember is him and Hogan having a match in Memphis, didn't have a clue he'd done a bit of boxing training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted May 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 17, 2020 Watching an episode of Nitro from â96 on WWE Network and Jerichoâs come out but to his âBreak The Walls Downâ WWE theme. How are WWE able to replace just the entrance music, but leave other audio (i.e. crowd and commentary) intact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) The crowd sound is most likely artificial and they can probably seperate the audio track for the commentary and add it back in over the new music and bogus crowd noise.

simonworden Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Has it ever rained at a Wrestlemania either in an outdoor venue or one with a huge roof that would make an enormous sound? I was curious how they would deal the sound of heavy rain on the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted May 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2020 Didn't it rain at The Big Event? Hogan vs Orndorff. I think it was at a Baseball stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted May 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) There was a smattering of rain at the beginning of 24(? - the one that started with Finlay vs JBL) but it was very light IIRC. Could sort of see it on the camera right at the very beginning. Somewhat related, there is a Hogan-Studd match from Puerto Rico (I think) where it absolutely fucking hammers it down, the crowd run for cover. No cover over the ring, they carry on wrestling for a bit but Studd slips over in the wet and the ring mat (which is red) bleeds dye all over đhis white tights. They get the fuck out of the there shortly after that. It was on the Hogan DVD set they put out in the early 2000s so may well be on the Network. Edited May 18, 2020 by Statto Fuck knows how that thumbs up got in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP RULZ Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Okada and Suzuki had the "draw in the downpour" 2 years ago in Suzuki's 30th anniversary match Went the 30 minutes in torrential rain Great match and worth checking out just for the visuals of it all as well That's the most notable match in the rain I can think off.

simonworden Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Was just trying to clarify a response i'd made in the Random thoughts thread and came across this event from 2001 on Cage Match "ECW Reunion Show"- Elks Lodge 8/7/01 Singles Match Chilly Willy defeats Tom Marquez Singles Match Kid USA defeats The Mighty Finn Singles Match Nova defeats Chris Chetti (w/Elektra) Singles Match Mikey Whipwreck defeats Swinger Singles Match Balls Mahoney defeats Jack Victory Tag Team Match Danny Doring & Roadkill defeat The FBI (Guido Maritato & Tony Mamaluke) Singles Match Sabu (w/Bill Alfonso) defeats Angel Singles Match Tommy Dreamer (w/Francine) defeats CW Anderson (w/Lou E. Dangerously)  Anyone got any info on this as it seems like it was a a good chunk of the final ECW roster that wasn't signed to WWE (and Dreamer), mostly curious if it was an ECW booked event that someone on the card took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Thesz Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 What is the submission hold that sees the aggressor have their opponent face down with their legs crossed. The wrestler then applies a bridging threshold whilst pulling up on their opponents neck. Should be simple to find butvfuck me I'm struggling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
