EdgarTheSlouch Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 He also referred to Big Show as his "slave name". That's mental. What a ridiculous thing to say. He also went through a 3 week spell of wearing a 'no gimmicks needed' Tshirt....just going under Paul Wight
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 10, 2015 Paid Members Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) At the start of an episode of ECW Hardcore TV in late 2000 the show begins with a load of medics and police standing around and you see these legs hanging out of a bloke dressed in red. Heyman is there looking on and a police officer kicks off saying "what do you want to cover, missing parts moron?" to the camera man. Turns out its the Sinister Minister lying there after his gun exploded and blew his fingers off and shot a hole in his stomach. Its madness. Everyone is looking worried and the ECW staff are desperate to get footage of poor James Mitchell with his guts hanging out. This by far has to be the most odd opening to a wrestling show ever. Its quite surreal. Everyone walking around out of character looking concerned (apart from Heyman who is desperate to get his camera man up close). The Sinister Minister was quite hilarious in the dying days of ECW. Especially when he started wearing this gold and black pimp suit in the final few shows. His old perv character was quite an interesting take on the devil worshiping gimmick. Edited May 10, 2015 by IANdrewDiceClay
Undefeated Steak Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 If it wasn't wrestling I'd think you were taking the piss. There has to be mileage in a thread with the most surreal things caught on camera at a wrestling show.
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted May 10, 2015 Paid Members Posted May 10, 2015 Turns out its the Sinister Minister lying there after his gun exploded and blew his fingers off and shot a hole in his stomach. Jesus, what’s the story here? I never watched ECW (my parents didn’t like me watching wrestling full stop, let alone ultra-violent hardcore wrestling), but why did Mitchell have a gun, let alone fire one?
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 10, 2015 Paid Members Posted May 10, 2015 He had a little gun that he shot fireballs out. And he overloaded it and was shoving the flash paper in with a toothbrush and his backfired and shot him in the gut and blew his finger off.
WyattSheepMask Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 And turned to Whipwreack and said "Mikey.....this is not good". I've still got his shoot he did with ROH somewhere in my loft. Well worth a watch if you can find it anywhere even if it is now 10 years old
Paid Members Maverick Posted May 11, 2015 Paid Members Posted May 11, 2015 James Mitchell is one of the most entertaining guys in wrestling, would love to see him pop up in GFW, he gets it.
buba3d Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 just watching the blue ray of ecw vol 3 and something stevie richards says during the blooper reel, he mentions that you can go to kickasstorrents to watch the dvd.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 11, 2015 Paid Members Posted May 11, 2015 Rhino hasn't aged in 15 years. I was watching him on the ECW show I mentioned earlier and he looks exactly the fucking same as he does on NXT.
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Clearvision have announced this morning that they will no longer be producing TNA DVDs for the UK with the One Night Only World Cup event being their last release. All preorders for Bound for Glory and the Best of Sting have been cancelled and refunded and they have reduced most of the DVDs they previously released down to £6.99
WyattSheepMask Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 I'm all six customers are very disappointed with this news
Sphinx Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 What the fuck was going on with Angle's music in 2006? I assume they were trying to get rid of the part the crowd would usually sing 'You suck' too. It sounds a mess, like the CD's skipping - the first part repeats five times against Orton at Vengeance '06!
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 11, 2015 Paid Members Posted May 11, 2015 They should throw together a new Wyatt Family, bring back Harper & Rowan (this looks like it's already happening), chuck in Adam Rose as Leo Kruger and Bo Dallas as Bray's long lost brother who lost his way coming back home and one of the divas as his obsessed sex slave.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 11, 2015 Paid Members Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Mike Awesome - wrestled like the baddest man on planet earth, had a mullet, had great music, sounded like a cretin. Odd how that works. A man who had a million things going for him and against him. ECW did such a great job hiding his weaknesses. This guy seemed to only have good matches in ECW and was poor in WCW and WWF (not like it was all his fault, though). Its funny the difference between Heyman and Russo/Bischoff was noticable within 10 seconds of Awesome debuting. ECW kept his promo time minimal (and usually backstage where he could be produced), always had him as the biggest man on the roster, always had him working smaller, althetic men who could bump for him and he was a star for them. WCW debuts Awesome by having him attack Kevin Nash (who dwarves him) and then cuts a shite promo on a live Nitro. Amazing how it pretty much shined a light on WCW's ability to protect people. Still say he should have won the Hardcore title at WrestleMania instead of on Raw. A week after WWF bought WCW, seeing a WCW guy win a WWF title at WrestleMania would have been unreal at the time.
