I think I saw him win one with a crucifix pin, but wouldn't swear to it. Most of the time, he was jobbing. If you owned enough Silver Vision tapes you got to see him beat Hercules with it one of Alfred Hays’ “Call Of The Action” spots. The truth is the bold part, not that it wasn’t what he used to win, but you haven’t seen him win many matches from that period. Here’s a squash from the way to Rumble 92. He sets up with the Russian leg sweep which would take over for him using to pin jobbers after they’d put his run with Ted to bed for good, presumably because they wanted to move on from “used to be DiBiase’s gopher” and see if he could stay over without that story. He didn’t.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitoRyo Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Loved his IWGP Title run. Back when that title actually meant something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fond memories of Muta “joining the nWo” alongside Chono, even though people into New Japan (who I assumed the angle was for) will have already been aware he’d been a member over there for nearly two months already. Making Sonny Onoo like a total buffoon for bringing Muta in as Chono’s “worst nightmare.” Sonny was pretty solidly in the heel camp too having just betrayed Ultimo Dragon causing him to lose the TV title to Billy Regal, so it was stretching the “cheer anyone against the nWo” idea a bit, but after making him look so dumb, is it any wonder the fans cheered for the order that night on Nitro for the beating they probably thought he deserved? LOL WCW. Oh, and Vincent sometimes came out with the nWo B team. Edited February 29 by air_raid Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Some Guy Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 As A Wembley Summerslam attendee, my memory says the crowd were not indifferent to his match and recognised a genuine talent. He definitely made his mark in wrestling and deserves to be more than a punchline/meme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t.  I can see why he didn't stay over, sadly. Not that I'm some great wrestling psychologist, but there were some pretty glaring gaps - he never "showed out" or looked to the crowd at any point, stopped bashing the guy into the turnbuckle when the crowd were audibly counting at six instead of listening to them and going on till ten (could've sworn I could hear some "oh..." when he stopped), and he pretty much rushed through the whole thing. Not leaving enough gaps between the bigger moves to let the action "breathe", etc. A shame, because in terms of actual technics and athleticism, he was decent. Edited February 29 by Carbomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s one Coliseum match, I think it was the one with Shawn on WrestleFest 93, where Lord Alfred absolutely slates his dropkicks as “really quite poor” or something like that. People get a bee in their bonnet for Monsoon slagging off the wrestlers at times for what he saw as poor execution but Al did it too.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted February 29 Paid Members Share Posted February 29 Lord Al Hayes slating anyone for been poor is terrible hypocrisy. Like me calling someone fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 29 Paid Members Share Posted February 29 No idea this happened and it’s such a random as fuck match but trust Terry Funk to bring a completely different side out of Virgil.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
