Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 Good old Bamboozle. We used to have to visit an aunt every month and it was the most tedious place with nothing to do at all. If not for Bamboozle, those trips would have been horrendous.

Richie Freebird Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 One friend of mine who's a particular fan of kung fu films responded to me once that martial arts movies in general are more realistic than wrestling. This may be true, but they can't possibly be that much more realistic - I don't think I've ever seen any fights which are rhythmic and "clean" the way they are in the movies. Most real-life fights are messy as hell - you've only got to watch cage-fighting or stand outside a shit club to realise that. Â I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Wretch Posted February 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 Scrolling through the questions thread, I've remembered another one. The fanpage on Sky Text told me that when Jericho debuted in the WWF, they were changing his name to Chris Gericho and revealing it was he who was responsible for GTV.

Paid Members eugenespeed Posted February 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 The first ones that come to mind is when someone told me around 2000 that Yokuzuna and Rikishi were the same person and when I was a kid, back in the World of Sport era, someone had had a chair put right through them during a match. Â Actually, one that may or not be true, from the same era, during a Big Daddy vs Giant Haystacks match, the ring collapsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members neil's bitch Posted February 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 Actually, one that may or not be true, from the same era, during a Big Daddy vs Giant Haystacks match, the ring collapsed. That one might be true as aparently back in the day, UK wrestling was well known (by the uk workers anyway) for the rings falling down. Â Back in the late 90's i went to an Allstar show in Hanely, only to see the ring collapse during the final match, (The guys were of average size, not super-heavyweights, and it was from one of them coming out of a hiptoss. He landed on his back and the ring just fell over). Â What made it ok was they put on a hardcore match to send people home happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireBrand Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Who else kept on hearing the "rumour" that Ultimate Warriors arm burst? Â I was told this around 1991-1992 and at the time it was as if it was receieved wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 There was a rumour back in the early 90s that if you ever took a trip down to Comb Country Georgia, and you didnt read the sign or further more showed a lack of respect to the Law and Order, you'd be inclined to serve something. Forgot what it was though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted February 10, 2011 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2011 When I figured out how to cheat at Bamboozle, my childhood was over and my innocence gone. What was your cheating method? I used to find that if you pressed the incorrect colour then a lot of the times it would take a few seconds for the "WRONG" page to load, whereas the correct answer would load immediately. Therefore you had just enough time to press other colours to get the right answer. Â Sad and pathetic really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that led to the different page was the right answer. You just needed to look the page number in the top left hand corner.  On some TV's, if you wanted more time, they had a stop button, which stopped the next page from loading whilst keeping the page number up there.

Yep, this was my method too! Brings back memories that does. Was frustrating when you'd be on the third (wrong) colour and just before you hit the fourth it would bump you to the "wrong" page and you'd go back a few questions.

Paid Members air_raid Posted February 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 I hate you Bamboozle "insiders," looking down on the rest of us. We still like to pretend it was real, genuine yes or no stuff. Don't want you exposing the ins and outs of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
