Paid Members garynysmon Posted August 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I recently finished (slowly) working my way through all of the 1996 Raw episodes on the network, and have started with the same year's Nitros. I've always considered myself a Hulk Hogan fan, but in honesty and hindsight, he was the biggest single detriment to the WCW product by then after the initial boom he brought them. I can't remember viewing it that way as a 12 year old child, but looking back, its painfully clear why they had to turn him heel by the summer and freshen up his act.

moofasa Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 With UKFFers Grado (TheLostScot) and Tom Irvin (mid 00's poster Penis Suplex) making waves in the BritWres industry at the moment, I wonder which current or former UKFFer will be the next breakout star in the Pro Wrestling business (in the UK at least). It could be one of you! Shortordercook can be seen on progress smaller shows and as a henchmen for jimmy havoc on main shows. Remeber Ian saying if he started a promotion shortordercook would be his Randy Orton certainly looks the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted August 11, 2015 I think the worst thing looking back was, Hogan beat the shit out of the Giant the night Hogan was going to take months off to film some movie he was doing. And that was just because the Giant was to beat Flair for the belt. Its an underrated moment of selfishness nobody ever seems to bring up. Even I seemed to jump of the Hogan bandwagon in 95/96. He was so skinny and dull. And I had to watch WCW via DSF at the time, so every time I think of that period, my neck starts burning at the thought of watching German women playing with themselves during the adverts as my Dad sat there pretending to read the Echo.

Paid Members garynysmon Posted August 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) My favourite is when I tried recording Bash at the Beach 95 on DSF which was on late on a Saturday night (as they all were from what I can remember). I started watching it the next morning and was in the middle of the Savage v Flair lumberjack match. It was all going ok until the moment on the recording where my Dad had come home from the pub and started flicking through all the softcore German porn on VOX (christ, I miss the German channels so much). You wouldn't get that with Sky+ would you? Edited August 11, 2015 by garynysmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgehead Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Was told there was a bubblegum vs Ligero vs. hitchman match on Wttv last night. Had to switch off after 60 seconds. Worst commentator ever. Purely because he would not shut up for a second. And the show up to that point was terrible. Scraping the bottom of the barrel for a topic, they discussed tna's next big star. Tna is dying you fools!

Tna is dying you fools! Heard that for years though. Seems a sensible enough topic to be fair, seeing as they're short on name talent. Plus seeing as it immediately follows Impact, you'd have to assume a large percentage of the audience watches TNA. Hell, those watching on Freeview may not even be familiar with some of the WWE's wrestlers. Edited August 11, 2015 by garynysmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great, seemed like a genuinely nice guy on here and I hope he does well. He has an intimidating presence on the Progress shows too. Very good look.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted August 12, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted August 12, 2015 Very disappointed to find that Lenny Lane no longer seems to be running his wrestling-themed kids' parties — sounded like a blast. And by a blast, I meant a lot of miserable kids wondering who the fuck Lenny Lane is. His other business is also seemingly finished, if it was ever real (I really hope it was): In June 2008, Lenny started a wrestling party business for company meetings Wrestlingmeetings.com. The business has Lane going to the office that hired him, and ambushing a chosen individual (usually a manager) and putting on an impromptu match with the confused individual. Bonus: My poem about Lenny Lane and his mates. Lenny Lane there is a wrestler showing photographs Of every heel he’s had the pleasure to have known And all the people that come and go Stop and say “who’s that?” At the party is a worker with a rented car The little children laugh at him behind his back And the wrestler never wins a match not in any ring… vs. Silver King Lenny Lane has brought some beer and cherry pies There beneath the blue suburban skies He stretches, and hindu squats With Lenny Lane there is a fireman whose first name is Chip He used to team with a man called Chris Champeen. But now he cleans out pools and smokes too many Kools From vending machines Lane Lane’s in no-one’s ears, nor in their eyes Four hundred and five in the rankings in PWI Many summers back In Len’s Lumina double-parked by the humble roustabout Devon Storm is eating brownies from a tray Lenny promised him a cut from today’s pay He’ll split it fair, three-ways Lenny Lane, the jobber lies flat on his back Waiting patiently for the quick pin Chip the fireman lazily covers him For the win 1-2-3 Lenny Lane, is on the way, to motel six To share a room with his mates Chip and Devon Storm They’ll cuddle up, and keep warm Cup of joe, some bengay, and Jeopardy Wondering what the next day will bring Well, it’s a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
