Mr Butternut Squash Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I see they've put the Chris Masters story up on WWE.com. Finger crossed something comes of it.
Professor Paul's Bin Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) I watched House of Hardcore the debut show yesterday and really enjoyed the show. Thought it had a nice flow and a cracking roster with the likes of Dreamer, Knox, Tony Nese, Rhino, Callihan, Big XLG, Scott Steiner, Edge, Big Daddy V, Chris Masters, Crowbar, Winter, Jazz, Shaun Davari etc. Plus some really good matches. Luckily they didn't make it all about the ECW names and the parts they were involved in weren't too bad either. Tony Nese is very good, it's a shame TNA never bothered with the bloke. What happened to the October event they were advertising and promoting at the end of the show? Edited March 22, 2013 by Twinn
MoistVaj Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I've been listening to quite a few Scott Steiner radio interviews from the past couple of years on Youtube tonight. He has to be the funniest bloke in wrestling, intentional or not. He buries the Quebecers in several of them without going into too much detail other than '' they were fucking horrible''. Anyone shed any light on this or is it just Scott Steiner being Scott Steiner?
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 23, 2013 Paid Members Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) A load of people hated working with Jacques Rougeau, and Pierre Outlette had a bit of a rep for wanting his own way as well. Pierre had a fight with Diesel and Jacques had a scrap with Dynamite Kid, so they weren't a quiet pair. The Fabulous Rougeaus had the same rep. Jacques always used to do little dances and flips and general silliness which rubbed up the super serious lot like Dynamite Kid and Bret Hart the wrong way. I imagine if anyone is going to be wound up by them, its Scott Steiner. The Quebecers were awesome though. Completely forgotten about. No Mattel Legends figure for us PCOnatics. But they were over huge for a few months, and usually delivered the goods in TV matches. Pierre and Jacques were squash match masters. Go watch one of their squash matches. They just slap these poor fuckers about. Edited March 23, 2013 by IANdrewDiceClay
hitman89762000 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I could be wrong but weren't the quebecers in the tag match that saw owen turn on bret at the rumble? If so that was a belting match from what i remember of it.

I was pissed off when they won that Quebec Rules match on Raw but generally I loved them and thought they were hilarious.

Mr Butternut Squash Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 The Rougeaus were brilliant. Probably my fave WWF tag team behind the Rockers. One of the greatest matches I've ever seen was that one against the Rockers in London(?) where they're stooging and show boating for like ten minutes but the Rockers just wind them up and make them look like mugs every time. PCO is underrated too, I need to check out his post wwf stuff.
Paid Members JNLister Posted March 23, 2013 Paid Members Posted March 23, 2013 Yeah, it's London from the 89 tour, though they do much the same schtick on Paris, which is on the WWF World Tour 89/90 tape. And it's great.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 23, 2013 Moderators Posted March 23, 2013 Now, I love Jacques Rougeau, probably for reasons everyone else hates him. He can do what he wants and still sell out the Molson Centre. Probably could now. He was also a talent in my eyes. But still... Molson Centre... I'll pretend to retire... I'll sell it out... Anyone will put me over clean for a cut... "Brother?" I'm KING OF QUEBEC!

Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted March 23, 2013 Paid Members Posted March 23, 2013 Given previous UKFFers were being criticised a while back for calling current WWE stars Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli I guess you meant to call him Zeb Colter? But more relevantly that's pretty cool! My biggest wrestling facebook achievement was getting a reply from Tyler Reks regarding a meme of him going about.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 23, 2013 Moderators Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Dirty Dutch is different. After all, Zeb's been called Dirty Dutch for about 30 years, if not longer. So I think it's a touch different. And also, his FB account is under Dutch Mantell. It's not as if that's a new name, he did commentary on Worldwide on ITV 21 years ago under it. Bill Dundee was never Sir William, and Dutch Mantell will never be Zeb Colter. (Even though, for the record, Dutch still being Uncle Zeb is some awesome WWE continuity and the first time he cam out with Swagger, Jerry Lawler made it amazing. That's why Lawler is the best ever. Mongs say Michaels, Men say Lawler, or Funk, or Hansen). Edited March 23, 2013 by PowerButchi

I missed that from Lawler, I just assumed the name was a nice little nod to his old character but if it's the same person that's amazing.
TheShowOff Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Back in 2000 when ECW started airing on Bravo again and released VHS here in MVC(!!) I remember reading in Power Slam that there were rumblings about the ECW running a show here. Anybody have any light on this? How close were they? Would Chilly Willy and "Wild" Bill Wiles have been there?
