iMPACt! Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 That picture of Flair has been majorly photoshopped. There isn't one wrinkle and his hair hasn't looked better in years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 18, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 Well, obviously. They aren't going to stick that picture of him with his arse out on the Australia tour on the poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Eddie Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yep. 63 year old man doesn't look like he did in his 30s. What a cunt he is.Still, it takes a special kind of man to be put through 3 divorces and go broke to now being the face of a Coca Cola spinoff and earning more money than he did in his prime. Flair's financially set for life now. The man is just incredible.Probably why he is now no showing TNA events and will probably be back on WWE TV soon.So how much money is he getting from this Coca Cola deal?

The yellow on the cover stood out like a sore thumb. Still one of my favourite shows to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was full of old NWA matches if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted May 18, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 I've got a couple of those NWA tapes too. I remember I got one from some random shop in Weston on my jollys, along with Classic Heroes Ironhide from Woolies. Â Apologies for those of you that have heard this story in the reasonably frequent "how did you get into wrestling?" thread that pops up. My first wrestling video watched was WrestleMania VI, lent to me by a mate when I asked him "why do you watch it? It's fake." He literally just put the tape in my hand and said "just watch it." I can't pinpoint the exact moment I switched on, it probably wasn't The Model vs Koko. But it may very well have been the promo, entrance and victory of Demolition. Â Throughout the rest of the tape, a combination of factors - the Rockers' high flying stuff, the Harts looking cool-but-ruthless, the intensity of Boss Man, the ice cold promo of Jake the Snake and the incredible ending - meant that it was inevitable I was going to end up a fan. Afterwards said mate lent me Survivors 90, 91 and 92 as well. I've been a fan ever since, and somehow twenty years later nothing has quite grabbed me as "THE main event" as much as Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior. Â The first tape I ever bought ended up Survivors 89 as I marched into John Menzies with my birthday money keen to buy "a WWF tape" without knowing what. I had promised not to watch anything older than Mania VI, but at the time I was well into the Survior Series concept, and the sight of the Hulkamaniacs unit on the box really made it a must-purchase.

Evo2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 My first match was the 'I Quit' Match, off a VHS recording of the Royal Rumble '99 from that very week.My first proper Silvervision purchase was a copy of Breakdown: IYH! It was a nice surprise to buy Judgement Day '98 the following week and found that they led onto each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Joe Joe Jr Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Though I had a Best of Wrestlemania vhs I wore out when I was a toddler, the first one I got as part of being a proper fan was No Way Out 2000 for my birthday that year. My mum got it from Forbidden Planet in Croydon, and I still remember watching it that morning. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have sold quite well back in the day.Video is just an episode of the Mid-Atlantic TV show, isn't it? Something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
