Paid Members JNLister Posted April 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 The line-up will have been something along these lines (there were two crews touring the UK then):  Typhoon defeated Damien Demento Kamala defeated Kimchee Yokozuna defeated Jim Duggan Doink the Clown defeated Crush via count-out Mr. Perfect defeated Lex Luger The Nasty Boys fought the Headshrinkers to a double disqualification WWF IC Champion Shawn Michaels defeated Bob Backlund  The venue website claims a capacity of 6,000 for seating in the round, so it certainly would have been a viable venue given the popularity then. The same tour was doing places like Whitley Bay Ice Rink and the Brighton Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snitsky's back acne Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 WWF/WWE has run Hull Ice Arena several times, as recently as 2005 with stars like HHH, Batista, Flair, Kane, Edge, Shawn Michaels, Jericho etc. and it holds about 3000 max. with a ceiling so low that some wrestlers hands touched the ceiling when they raised their arms when standing on the middle turnbuckle. Â Venue's so small they had to have their merchandise stall outside the building too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 They used to run quite a few smaller towns and cities, Peterborough was one I remember being on their itinerary. I think they may have come to Reading as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shovanist Pig Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I reckon the WWE could pack a few seats out at the Bournemouth International Centre. Â http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bournemouth_I...national_Centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget about the fucking Butlins shows and do a tour of the south coast instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same tour was doing places like Whitley Bay Ice Rink and the Brighton Centre. Brighton Centre must have been the other crew then, because in 1993, we got matches like Undertaker v Giant Gonzalez, Bret Hart v Bam Bam Bigelow and with a bit of luck, at least one match where both participants are still alive today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'd say WWF was more popular in the UK in 1993 that it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
