Paid Members Statto Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) As I'm typing this I'm not totally sure if this happened or if I made it up, but there was a short lived Big Show / Spike Dudley team along the same lines during the Invasion that I always liked, if it existed. Â There was: Â Â I recall a couple of occasions too where Spike wrestled in a singlet like his partner (probably the outfit he has on there without the trousers) and was referred to as "The Little Show".

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 "Big Show" had a few partners around that time. He teamed up with Billy Gunn as "The Show-Gunns", which lasted all of a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I always thought Show-Gunns was a great team......then again I was always a Billy Gunn mark back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 For whatever reason I thought they lasted a bit longer than that. It goes to show just how things from that era, even if really short lived, stick in the mind much more than stuff from 5 or 6 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wright Mark Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) There's a wrestling themed segment on Judge Rinder right now.  A Scottish promoter has shafted a worker called The Original Craig (yeah, me neither) out of £105, and now they're looking to sort it out in court.  So far, Kenny Williams and Wolfgang have been mentioned. For some reason, they censored Williams's last name on a match graphic they shown on screen. Edited November 28, 2016 by Alex Wright Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 What's the promoters name/company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wright Mark Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) They seem to prevent mentioning last names, but the promoter is called "Paul". No idea what promotion it is though. Â EDIT: Just done some research! It's Craig Stephens from W3L. Edited November 28, 2016 by Alex Wright Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) They had one on in the last season which was two guys obviously working some sort of angle. Some guy was saying that the "head trainer" of a wrestling school was "too tough" on his students. At the end, they were screaming in each others face, in the grunt and groan style.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 There was a show in the US years ago similar to Judge Rinder and Bill Alfonso and Missy Hyatt turned up on it. And if that didnt make you think it was a work, Missy had her fucking book with her plugging it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 This one was a work as well. W3L are promoting it on Facebook with graphics and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Everything is paid for on those shows. My Uncle was having a dispute over a garden fence about a year ago, and the idiot next door rang ITV up. They phoned my Auntie and told her "would you be interested if coming to the studio to take part in a Judge Rinder taping, and we'll pay for expenses and in the case of the judge deeming a payout." My Auntie told them to fuck right off. The whole things a bunch of bollocks. Its why you see so many "my brothers a cunt, I want 2,000 quid off him" and in the hope they can split the money afterwards.

Snitsky's back acne Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 A company in California ran a death match tournament this past weekend in front of 19 people. Here is a write-up of the show complete with pictures.  http://socaluncensored.com/2016/11/27/xtreme-world-wrestling-2016-ultraviolent-cup-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 This one was a work as well. W3L are promoting it on Facebook with graphics and everything. Judge Rinder treated them both like idiots, the wrestler admitted he only gets paid £35 a show and it was a work?! Fucking tragic. I'm sure face wrestler who settles fueds by taking people to a camp daytime TV court will be a great story line for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon-Carr_92 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I remember the last wrestling lot they had where one of them wanted compensation after a badly done Pump Handle Slam. The defendant went by Exodus among other names. That's the only one I could remember. Anyone know who uses/has gone by that name other here?

Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 Yes, if it's the same guy he has also wrestled as Blockbuster amongst other names. Tall wrestler that used to team with one half of the Henchmen (formerly Jekyll) back in their MPW days I believe. Assuming it's the same guy.
