They even managed to get Ultimate Warrior to recreate the match with Honky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny but having read this I wondered if I was mis-remembering a Marty Jannetty vs Anvil match as having been ECW when actually it was NWC, so I looked it up. Turns out I wasn’t, but old Who did indeed grace the Silver Nugget including one show losing to Hacksaw by count out - on last, no less - which I’m sure was unforgettable for those in attendance. Coming immediately after Junkyard Dog beating Mr Hughes by DQ, which sounds like the worst match of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â NWC sounds a lot like LAW from post WCW in terms of random and cross-promotional matchups. That clip of Funk v Virgil is 100% Funk though, selling like HBK going against Hogan.

Merzbow Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Calling Mr Hughes a worker is a bit of a stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

METAL ON METAL Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 So it’s since been revealed by his management that Virgil was actually 11 years older than he was billed as! Everyone (himself included) had always stated he was born June 1962 but it turns out he was born April 1951, meaning he was 40 when he won the Million Dollar Title. A true worker till the end.

JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Was literally just going to post this. So he was actually 73!!!! 3 years older than Ted Dibiase. Kind of now makes more sense the ageing and health issues last few years as he was hitting his 70s not 60s. Basically he's about 18m younger than Flair  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 3 Paid Members Share Posted March 3 (edited) He went from a young wrestler death to "actually quite a decent age for a wrestler." His gofundme can fuck off then. I dont like being lied to from my 80s wrestlers. Edited March 3 by IANdrewDiceClay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted March 3 Paid Members Share Posted March 3 Is it just my need for everything to be orderly or is 11 years a weird amount to lie about. 5 or 10 years, fair play if you can get away with it, but 11, he must be a psycho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
