Cobra1000 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I actually quite like Christopher Daniels, he's nowhere near as terrible as he is made out to be. He is a tremendous talent, its probably just a shame his fan-base has tainted him somewhat. Some of his TNA run has been magical, while of course a lot of it has been woeful too. Â The Amazing Red is one for me, maybe not late 90's but definitely a name thrown around a hell of a lot, same with Low Ki too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Milano Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Â Vic Capri Had the truely awful nickname of 'Ice Pick' Vic Capri. Only ever saw him the once on an IWA-MS show when he was being managed by Sherri Martel. No idea what the Queen was doing working shows for Rotten, but at least she didn't end up blading on this one, like she did on an earlier show that she worked for him.

Paid Members Benno Posted April 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 Great idea for a thread, and the big shouts are already taken. On a slightly different tact, HOW FUCKING MUCH were Power Slam on Scott Vick's cock when he was in OVW or Memphis or wherever it was? It seemed like every bastard month they would mention what he'd been doing whilst waiting for the call up. "Billy Gunn is set to return in October, he may be involved in the Austin hit and run story......The Rock's meeting with team behind "The Mummy" was said to be encouraging......Scott Vick nipped out to Asda to buy a bag of apples.....Bret and Vince have had a chat on a bench...." and the like.  I'd not been that switched on to WCW between 98 and 2000, so I was pretty excited to see what we were getting with this huge signing. Then we all went fucking spastic when "Katie Vick" was named. He's coming lads, he's coming!!! Never came. Thanks a lot Power Slam.  Haha, that's all I could think of when the name Scott Vick came up, count me in as another one really excited waiting for his non-debut...

Benoit's missing tooth Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012  Vic Capri  Remember him being all over the mags at one point. When I was about 13 or 14 (about 10 years ago) I went to a show in Maysfield leisure centre in Belfast which had him, Daniels, Modest and Doug Williams involved. Never heard or read too much about him after that but remember thinking he must have been a big deal if he was all over the mags. Cant remember much of his match that night either right enough.  He wrestled James Mason (who came out to Boyzone - when the going gets tough) if I remember correctly. He was pretty decent but think he retired not long after due to injury. That tour is what Doug Williams credits with him getting his start in America.

Dirty Eddie Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 In 2002 when I was in NY for Survivor Series I caught a show with a bunch of the people mentioned on here so far. It was the debuting Alpha Pro Wrestling at the old ECW stomping ground, the Elk's Lodge in Queens. Â 78 fans was I believe the official turnout. It was a proper laugh though, as half of the wrestlers realised it was a washout and they just had a laugh. Da Hit Squad were especially funny, breaking out Hogan and Freebird impressions. Â Some of the guys there were...

Paid Members air_raid Posted April 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 Da Hit Squad were especially funny, breaking out Hogan and Freebird impressions.

Â Maff was fucking April Hunter out back while Slyk Wagner Brown cried, wanked and filmed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted April 26, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have two additional names to throw into the mix.  Quiet Storm  This guy was being touted for great great things, he was getting regularly booked in ROH and went over to Japan to learn his trade (Michinoku Pro IIRC) he then subsequently disappeared off the face of the planet.   BJ Whitmer  Trained by Les Thatcher, and at certain times I even heard the lines 'The Next Benoit'. In reality he was bog standard average and all he could really do was suplex people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ Impact Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 BRAKUS Â Powerslam wrote alot about him around 1997, hailed him as the next big thing etc, I remember a few promo's aired on Raw talking about coming after Jeff Jarrett then Bret Hart. Â Only saw one match of his from ECW against Taz I think, great body but was awful the Rob Terry of the late 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's looking at returning to Japan soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wideload Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Spyder Nate Webb   Saw him in the WWA in Glasgow, 2002 possibly. Fairly sure that was his biggest gig and don't recall that much from him afterwards, aside from coming out to Teenage Dirtbag in IWA-MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Nate was also on WSX on MTV and even NWA-TNA for a few weeks as one of Daniels' minions along with an unmasked Delirious and GQ Money.

Paid Members air_raid Posted April 26, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2012 Webb is fucking terrible. Possibly my least favourite performer in the history of OGS. Shit look - who actually believes this guy should beat anyone up? - bloody Wheatus entrance song designed to get the mutants in attendance to sing along, giving him an apparent reaction much louder than he'd get if he came out to basketball highlights #27, stupid indyrrific repertoire. That finish he does/did(?) called Soylent Green was the worst, because it used to prompt Gargiulo to shout "IT'S PEOPLE! IT'S PEOPLE!" like the motard he is. All the worst things about indy wrestling, MUCH worse than the Kenny Kickpads ensemble, at least some of them look a bit like they'd knock your block off. Webb looks like that dickhead that went to your college that you wish you had an excuse to punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
