neil is brill Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 One for the WWE Music in Other Places list. Â Just watching a documentary on Hurricane Sandy and they used the same music WWE use for their Don't Try This At Home bits. Â All the tattoo programmes on TruTV have had The Hardy Boys entrance theme on them at some point or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted October 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2014 And NFL Redzone uses the WWE Mark Jindrak theme which has a Hammond Organ-y bit from 2002 or 2003 or whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Just to hopefully stop him being slagged off on here once and for all seeing as he's always getting called miserable and bitter, here's a question and answer from Lance Storm's website (from Nov. '10)  Q: It seems like your fans in your Q&A section are more insulted or bothered by you not receiving more of a push then you are what's your reaction to this? A: I appreciate the concern, and sure a bigger push would have been nice but I think fans often forget the level of push I got earlier in my WWE run (IC Title, 4 WWE Tag Team titles) and only remember the crap they had me doing at the end, there is no point being upset over stuff you can’t change now.  See! He isn't bitter!  Oh and from the same Q and A, here's one for Pity  Q: Are there any wrestlers you can think of who never had a run with anyone's world title, but whom you think would have been successful had they gotten that chance? (I'm thinking specifically of Roddy Piper, though I'm sure there were other factors at work.) A: I hate speculating on stuff like this so I won’t. There is always the problem of timing. There are a lot of guys who might have been able to pull off a World Title run if they were given the chance but like in the case of Piper, there was a better option available (Hogan) so he didn’t. That’s just the way it goes.      Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Fucking Lance Storm, trying to fit things in pre-existing timelines. Timing means nothing in wrestling, he should know that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShowOff Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Lance Storm stating somebody(Piper in this instance) was talented enough to be World Champion, and he's right. As encapsulated as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yeah I was thinking more of the part where he mentions Hogan being the better option to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShowOff Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Depends how you want to look at it.  Roddy Piper could have been world champion, going off his talents and popularity, on his own standings.  Roddy Piper was a better choice for World Champion than Hulk Hogan.  Two very different statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yeah I was thinking more of the part where he mentions Hogan being the better option to be honest Yeah but if Hulk Hogan never existed, and if we were talking about a fruitloop's fantasy federation rather than eighties WWF, Piper could have done it.

I'm not having a go but whether it's could or should makes no difference, he couldn't have been champion because it wouldn't have dented Hogan's popularity and if you're going the Mania main event being Hogan v Piper in a rematch for the belt then it fucks the mainstream appeal of Mr. T being in the main event (which admittedly has been said in the other thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Linus Posted October 27, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 27, 2014 Good opener. Jonny Storm is still brilliant. Wild Boar has something. Enjoying this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Linus Posted October 27, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 27, 2014 Dan Head and Andy Simmonz have a great, long match, with plenty of audience participation. I've obviously not seen these lads for a long time - they've got ringcraft to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
