Dunny Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Just watching the Rise & Fall of ECW DVD, inparticularly the Raven & Stevie/Pitbulls 2 out of 3 falls match.Was a really good match, my question is about The Pitbulls. How good where they? I've never really heard much about them, and you dont often see them linked with ECW as one of the heroes (like Dreamer, Raven etc). But they looked pretty good in this match, obviously not wrestling clinic type good, but pretty charismatic and good brawlers.What did they do in ECW? What are they're stories post and pre ECW?

Larryboy Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 They were OK brawlers, not very good in the grand scheme of things, but they were one of the acts who benefitted from the peak of ECW in that they were made to look alot better than they actually were.In ECW, their most famous angle was the breaking of Gary Wolfes' neck. Shane Douglas gave him a single arm DDT that really injured his neck, and Pitbull 2 sought revenge. It was a smoking hot feud but they did keep it going a bit too long I think. They left ECW after some sort of charge for drug dealing.Gary Wolfe still wrestles, he was 3PW champ for ages before they closed down. Anthony Durante died a couple of years ago from a drug over dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer wrestling 'cos dead.Was their superbomb on Francine at Heatwave 1996 the first time a woman was put through a table on a major wrestling card?

No longer wrestling 'cos dead.Was their superbomb on Francine at Heatwave 1996 the first time a woman was put through a table on a major wrestling card?Probably.Pit #1 was also known in the early days (when he was a solo) as Pitbull Psycho Mike. Pit #2 was then briefly known as Pitbull Psycho Spike. They were a great team in their day - not great technically, but tremendous brawlers. Their matches with the Eliminators in late 1995/early 1996 were the true state of the art for tag team matches at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Flag Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 This may seem like a stupid question, but ive only just really got into TNA. So anyway, is Bound for Glory like their 'WrestleMania'? If so, then what is the point of Slammiversary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Flag Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Yes, but surely that should be the 'WrestleMania-esque' PPV over Bound for Glory then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryboy Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Does it matter? they all cost the same, they all come from the same arena, they all have the same content. No TNA ppv is really any different to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinyahashimoto Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 It makes sense to push an event(BFG in their case) as your 'big' event of the year. If you can also push your anniversary, that means you have two big shows rather than one. TNA don't have the history of Wrestlemania, Summerslam's etc, so they have to tell us, any filmsy excuse will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnum Milano Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I would be extremely happy if Rob is still playing in his band and living off his ill-gotten gains. That crazy bastard worked his ass off for a long time and made a shitload of money. By rights, he should never have had to work again.Can't say enough good things about Rob, as he was always a pleasure to deal with and a superb wrestling writer (I always found him better than Fin Martin in SOW & PS). It was a shame when he gave up his tape trading, but I then moved onto buying off Glen Radford, who was also a great guy. I only ever bought one video off GWI, the people who took over from Rob, and was not impressed with the qulity (was an ECW PPV) so never used them again.
