I didn't know that he cancelled all the wrestling back then though. Quote

Not sure how long that lasted, and assume it was Sky picking it up that put a stop to it. EDIT: no it was cancelled along with all the other wrestling on ITV by big bad Greg Dyke. Yes, and they put on quite a line up for the ITV debut. Imagine only seeing British wrestling and then you’ve got this extravaganza from Madison Square Garden Quote

I could imagine him wrestling 465 days a year with a New Japan contract, timezones and all that. Would actually be fun to see him match up with the REAL American in Don Frye and a Mutoh title feud. Fuck, Onita was all over NJPW in early '99... that's my messed up dream match right there. Edited August 14 by Merzbow Quote

Would another channel, perhaps channel 4, taken it on? Or would it have gone pretty much under the radar in the UK until the rise of the internet? It certainly would've made for some massive changes. If the recent Wrestle Me with the Rocco stuff is anything to go by it might have ended up on that cable uk or whatever it was called. Quote
TheScarlettChad Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Would ITV have allowed the smut that was 2000 WWF though? Channel 4 was having none of it after Mae Young got her baps out on PPV. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 16 Paid Members Posted August 16 I thought it was because of all the complaints about the Cactus/HHH street fight? Then they got even more complaints for sticking it on an hour's delay to allow them time to edit out the violence. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted August 16 Paid Members Posted August 16 Mae Young whipping her tits out probably had something to do with it. Quote
Johnnyreggae Posted August 16 Posted August 16 What if Mae Young's hand baby grew up to challenge for a title? Quote
