Snitsky's back acne 789 Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 (edited) WWF ran one show from 'Bergisel Stadion' in Innsbruck, Austria in 1994. Essentially it is a giant outdoor ski slope. WWF also used to run 'tent shows' every summer - the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis, Massachusetts, the South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset, Massachusetts and the Musical Theatre in Warwick Rhode Island. Love seeing 93/94 era WWF in the UK being mentioned too. Crazy to think they ran Blackburn, Exeter, Telford, Peterborough, Brighton, Bournemouth, Whitley Bay and Hull during that time.

Triple H took on The Undertaker. Undertaker tombstoned him on the escalator I always wondered if HHH was scared that his hair would get sucked into the mechanism and pull his skull skin clean off.

Paid Members air_raid 3,759 Posted March 30 Paid Members Report Share Posted March 30 Ahh, Shotgun Saturday Night. When they pretended to do more over the top than Attitude before Attitude even happened. With swear words and pretending Terri had her bare tits out and everything. Remarkable to think how quickly “Shotgun Challenge” ended up just another weekend show, lost to the mists of time with Heat and Metal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz 108 Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 I'm sure that WWF were told to tone down on Shotgun after complaints about Terry Funk's promo in which he called Pettengill's mother a whore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was broadcast at midnight. Goes to show how different TVregulations are /were between the US and UK. Cant say 'whore' at midnight in the USA. Can say essentially anything after 9pm in the UK.

Except on BT Sport that censor every single UFC interview that has a curse word, in the middle of the night. For some bloody oddball reason.

I guess that's probably it then, hadn't thought of that. Like the time Bellator ran long and got main evented by Peppa Pig because it went past 6am then. If Wrestlemania was still on Sky Sports today than I guess this would apply, seeing as it's usually 8 weeks long these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(I don't think I've actually ever been near it!) You dont want to, its a shit hole of the highest order. Freezing cold with bits of the roof dropping down. Possibly my least favourite rink to visit (including Grimsby with the Tractor instead of a Zamboni) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's like when I went to the Granby for 1PW. Everyone was going 'It's a total shithole' so I went to see for myself and, well, yeah... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
