Paid Members JNLister Posted April 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2012 This was my first. Bought it from Martin's newsagents in the Bridges: [ Â I take it some of the magazines articles written in advance, because as far as I can recall the Undertaker - Nailz feud did not take place. Â Quick question about that pic? The article about Sgt. Slaughter being head official? Is that about him working backstage? I don't ever recall seeing Sarge as an official until 1997 (in the same manner in which you used to see Pat Patterson and Jay Strongbow etc) Â No, they did a very brief spell in late 1992 where they decided with all the roided giants out of the picture, they'd pretend to be All Japan or something with clean finishes. Slaughter would appear on TV and DQ heels for cheating (Rick Martel lost to Max Moon, Nasty Boys lost a squash match), and the house shows (starting with the European tour) were Flair against Savage or Hart for 30 minutes+. As with most revamps, Vince changed his mind after a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Â Mine was this one from January 1992. Still gives me the heebie-jeebies. I ripped that one in half after the Rockers breakup. I think it took me more goes than it did Shawn though. Â My greatest memory of the mag is finding out about Bret Harts world title win from it. Having no access to Sky, must have seen the magazine just before Survivor Series which I persuaded a mate to record. Unless your mate didn't give you the tape of Survivor Series until Royal Rumble time, there's no way you first found out Bret Hart won the belt by reading the magazine.

NEWM Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 My Raw's and WWF Mags are in A4 Folders in plastic wallets, like a proper fucking nerd. Motherfucker! Â My first one was the WM 7 special. A mate gave it to me. Â Â Oh yeah, forgot some of those were from your equally well-looked after collection, sorry Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say it's my greatest memory but my memory may not be so great. I still have the mag at home but am not there at the moment. Tried searching online for the date of the mag I'm pretty sure(could be wrong) it was the one with Bret Hart with Papa Shango in the sharpshooter(which i think was his first tv title defense). The story about the Bret Hart Ric Flair match definetrly had yellow pages. Will check when i get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two months out of date. This just in.. Â The stamp of "A Grade 100% WWF Tested Prime Beef" seems odd now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moofasa Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 It's worse than that. This is the one I was thinking of from August 93. I'm still pretty sure that the cover shot was taken from his first televised defence in 92 Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 That picture brings up a question. Was there ever any onscreen reason given (well, prior to Cena's one this year) for how Rock went from the "The Rock don't even got his gear!" complaint when he had to defend the title in the tracksuit to just wearing it all the time? I watched Raw every week at the time and don't remember it being brought up, but it seems mad that it wouldn't be, considering he made a big deal of it not being his wrestling attire the first week.
