truthofsin Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Actually, as I understand it from the first post this thread is about TV shows that didn't get to the air. So UWF doesn't even come into the fucking conversation anyway, as Fury Hour ran on and off for a while. Â When i created the thread that was the intention but i think promotions that actually got TV and then died soon after makes for interesting conversation also. Maybe 'promotions that shot TV that either never aired or only aired for a matter of months before their demise' might be more appropriate lol. Â Â Whatever happened to Ring Ka King? That looked like it had potential! Â It made for pretty decent TV, the shows i've seen anyway. Not breathtaking, but not bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Cheers. I remember a match from it when David Young beat AJ Styles for a Wildside title, at the time when they were doing that streak with Young in TNA where he hadn't won for about 2 years or something. It was a great match, never understood why TNA didn't do something interesting with Young. Â He was a bit short, but a good wrestler, like a Dean Malenko but a bit more mongy. I can't see what more they could have done to be honest - he wasn't X Div and he was a bit too bland for the heavyweight scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted April 30, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 What was that UK promotion that was on Live TV? Was it UWA? I remember they did a big card from Coventry or somewhere. Â UWA was on Live TV. That was followed by UCW which did the Coventry show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I reckon they could have done a decent tag team with him instead of lumbering him with useless Simon Diamond. Who at TNA thought Simon Diamond was interesting enough to have his own fucking stable?

Be ta fuck, what a rotten stable they were! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 30, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 It was Diamonds In The Rough with Diamond, Young and Elix Skipper, I think. There might have been someone else at some point. They made Three Man Band look like Evolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of his silly name and general botchiness, I always found Skipper amusing because of how obviously he'd go on and off the 'roids....   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Didn't Simon Diamond announce Xplosion last year under a name that's totally gone out of my head? Â He wasn't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted May 1, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 1, 2013 Whatever happened to his erstwhile tag partner Johnny Swinger? He was the best of the lot, I thought. Â Went to WWE and was rechristened Johnny Parisi, did a few matches on Heat but mostly hung around Deep South (he had a fair few matches managed by Angel "Angelina Love" Williams before she accepted TNA's offer at the tail end of 05) until he got let go in July 06. Â Spent about 2 years in NWA Great Championship Wrestling based out of (briefly) Columbus, GA then later Phenix City, AL where he got to work with in various capacities guys like the aforementioned David Young and Skipper (he even "broke Young's arm" during their feud), Disco, Raven, Sonny Siaki, Scotty Too Hotty, Bull Buchanan and various non-entities. Amazingly in one title defence against Raven in December 2006, Swinger was managed by none other than Sherri Martel. Â Also of note he got to tumble with the Bullet! : February 10, 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgi86 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Whatever happened to his erstwhile tag partner Johnny Swinger? He was the best of the lot, I thought. He worked two of the One Night Only TNA PPVs that were taped back in March (10 Reunion and Hardcore Justice) so we'll be seeing him on TV later this year.
