Infinity Land Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Erik Watts v. Chris Benoit Yoshi Kwan v. Frankie Lancaster Mark Starr v. Big Sky 2 Cold Scorpio & Marcus Alexander Bagwell v. Harlem Heat Johnny B. Badd v. Maxx Payne They ran Winston-Salem the same day with the bigger names. Brought in 1,200 according to Cagematch. Cagematch had this show as 130. Looking at the B show loop it must have been depressing. As they would hit those kind of numbers on other shows. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted March 13, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 13, 2022 On 3/11/2022 at 3:06 PM, Snitsky's back acne said: A WCW house show from 1993 in front of less than 100 people in a gym in Bloomfield Indiana. No music. No PA System. Times were BAD in 1993!   Is that Tony Gillam as the ring announcer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossman Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I saw in April 1993 WCW ran MSG and were charging $25 for ringside seats. Imagine what they charged at that gym house show and the attendance. No wonder Bischoff stopped running all house shows when he got the power to do so. It was Bob Dhue who was in charge of the house show business in 1993. According to Bischoff on his podcast, he said Dhue knew they were badly losing money on house shows, so to alleviate this, his remedy was to...do even more house shows. I saw WCW also use to run shows for trainees and experienced wrestlers at a place called the Crystal Chandelier in Georgia. You were lucky on those shows if you got more than 50 people to show up.

Â Not sure it would be MSG. I know they ran the smaller theater that was part of the complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Paramount where Owen and Shamrock had the Lions Den match at SummerSlam 1998. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted March 15, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2022 WWE are a bit random with their choices of free full matches on their channel but today you all need to watch this. Let’s be honest ; it’s better than Mania X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 20, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 20, 2022 I posted in here about Gary Hart recently, well that Kayfabe Commentaries YouTube channel has uploaded his Guest Booker; I’ve seen his RF shoot years ago but never this. I remember reading about this at the time as Gary passed away the day after this was filmed, Sean Oliver talks a bit about it at the start of the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSM Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 https://njpwworld.com/p/o_original_0075_260e Not exactly YouTube but thought it was more appropriate to put here. New Japan have put out a free match on NJPW World and it's Hulk Hogan Vs The Great Muta from May 1993 now with new commentary from Kevin Kelly.

Cutting Edge of Bluntness Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Any info on this at all? At face value it seems like a weird parody of American style wrestling in the early 90s without the usual tribute acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 GLEAT currently streaming today's show live. Ok to be honest I'm only posting this as an excuse to say that BULK ORCHESTRA might be my favourite faction name ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSM Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Â A quick 10 minute Q & A with MJF from this past weekend in Liverpool. Amongst all the swearing and insults there's some pretty decent answers given. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Monopoly put up the other Q&As from the weekend as there were some ones I missed out on for various reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
