Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted December 26, 2017 Paid Members Posted December 26, 2017 According to Bruce Pritchard, the Tombstone the Undertaker gave Jake Roberts on the outside at Wrestlemania 8 wasn't planned. It was Roberts idea, so if he was staying around, he'd have been sacked. Vince went mental.
The Dart Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Just read an interesting statistic that Jimmy Uso has been in the main roster longer than anyone else without taking any time off. 24 days is the longest he’s gone without a match, which was probably when Jey was injured.
Paid Members Statto Posted December 27, 2017 Paid Members Posted December 27, 2017 I presume that includes house shows? Because the put him on commentary on Smackdown & Main Event when Jey was out injured, and IIRC he didn’t wrestle on TV during that whole period. May be wrong, mind.
Guest Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 He had a couple of matches tagging with Roman & Dean I think

NoUseforaUsername Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Skimming through William Regal's book and get to the part about Sid and Arn's scissorfight. Regal says accounts of it were in all the national papers the next day. Why is it then that I've never found any paper clippings online referring to it and scarcely any other official accounts? According to Regal it happened in Blackburn, which seems to be the common consensus but I have also read accounts of it happening in Germany. There's a famous headline about one of John Gotti's trials in the 80's, "I FORGOTTI", referring to a victim failing to give testimony about one of Gotti's crimes on the stand, which is another white whale of mine; never saw a pic of said headline, but it did happen. LOL at the anecdote about Regal, Austin and Foley unwittingly larking about on a beach full of homosexuals, or "shirtlifters" as Regal calls them.
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted December 28, 2017 Paid Members Posted December 28, 2017 I don't know about the Sid incident but that Gotti headline sounds like a New York Post or NY Daily News headline. Might be able to check their archives.
Really Big Shoe Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Sid/Arn happened in Germany [or] England, Some quotes from those who saw it go down, this refers to an incident in Frankfurt (?) https://prowrestlingstories.com/pro-wrestling-stories/sid-arn/ edit: weirdly there's two versions of this story, one where it happened in Germany, the other in England. * There are many versions of this story out there, including various reported dates and locations where this incident took place. Some sites report that this happened in England while 2 Cold Scorpio says it happened in Frankfurt, Germany. As no police report/charges were filed it seems there's why there's an alternate story and 2Cold said it happened in Germany. Unless they had a confrontation there which continued over into England where the incident really went down. Quote March 25, 1986: Charges dropped against Gotti in parking space fight after witness refuses to identify him. "I FORGOTTI!" reads the front page of the New York Post. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gottis-life-by-the-numbers/

Infact im sure it happened in a travel lodge Correct, although to be precise it was the Moat House Hotel in Blackburn. According to Fin Martin’s book anyhow.
returner82 Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 It definitely was in the paper at the time, although I never kept a copy. I was just as shocked to find out Arn's real name was Marty Lunde.
Sphinx Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 I'm sure the rum and cokes and whiskey and cokes have contributed to it, but I experienced a whole gamut of emotions watching the Flair 30 For 30. Awe, pride, tears, sadness. I was surprised Hogan said that Flair is much better than him and when people say Hogan paved the way he feels it's all Flair. Has there ever been a greater world champion? Not in my eyes. It also made me fall back in love with wrestling a bit. I follow what's going on in current wrestling but it doesn't really do it with me on an emotional level. I'm lucky enough to have a fuck ton of wrestling in the past that I've never watched. World Class really appeals to me but I'll certainly check out more Flair, Dusty and Horsemen too.
Merzbow Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Which one of you is this asking him about the darts?
