Paid Members Rob Lowe Posted August 20, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted August 20, 2007 what is the name of bobby the brain heenens autobiography, i have seen a couple of different ones and am wondering which is the one he actually wrote ?Heenan has written two books. His first was 'Bobby the Brain - Wrestlings bad boy tells all' and his second was 'Chairshots and Other Obstacles - Winning Life's Wrestling Matches'Ive only read the first book. It was a great read but was way too short and skipped around a lot. Which is probably why he wrote (and had enough content) for a second book.

Paid Members JNLister Posted August 20, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted August 20, 2007 The first Heenan book is a straight autobiography. The second is more of a self-help/life lessons book, with examples from his career given to highlight the various points. Obviously a lot of it ties in with his cancer battles.

Paid Members CoreyVandal Posted August 21, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted August 21, 2007 The need to know the answer to this question is pretty purile, but did Big Dick Dudley & Balls Mahoney ever tag up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 The need to know the answer to this question is pretty purile, but did Big Dick Dudley & Balls Mahoney ever tag up?Considering their respective booking when they were both in ECW, I doubt it. Balls Mahoney and Chilly Willy were a short lived team for exactly the same reason though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 The need to know the answer to this question is pretty purile, but did Big Dick Dudley & Balls Mahoney ever tag up?In ECW, I'm 99% sure the answer is no.Balls debuted on 20th December 1996 and stayed babyface for the most part right through his ECW run.But Big Dick, Bubba and Sign Guy turned heel on the February 1st 1997 show, just six weeks later.So with them being on opposite sides of the fence the entire time they were both in the company, I wouldn't think they would have tagged.Outside of ECW I only know of Big Dick wrestling in XPW where Balls never went, so I doubt it ever happened.

Magnum Milano Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Did ic flair and jerry lawler ever feud over the NWA title in memphis?By feud, I am guessing you mean did they have a series of matches, to which the answer is no. However, they did wrestle each other on at least a couple of occasions there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$tew Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Just read this - Joey Mercury has replaced Tank Toland as the lead instructor for OVW's beginning class.[PWInsider.com]Last I seem to remember, hadnt Mercury got released?Yes, as had Tank Toland before him.OVW is owned and run by Danny Davis, and they have three levels of class - beginner, intermediate and advanced. Those under WWE developmental contracts are "advanced". Who Danny chooses to teach the intermediate and beginner (i.e. people not under WWE developmental and paying to come and train in Louisville) is entirely up to him - it doesn't matter whether they're WWE employees or not.The beginner class is also known as the "goof class" and is for people just starting out. Intermediate is trained by Rip Rogers and those are the guys on Derby City Wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the least likely candidate to ever make OVW, let alone WWE, and this was on a show that also featured Sonic and Fang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh D Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 How would training to wrestle in Japan be different from here/the States? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBT Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 In Japan (At least for the bigger promotions) you live in a dojo and have to train every day, as well as doing general runner duties, i.e. cleaning other people's boots, doing errands, stuff like that. I imagine they have to help set up the ring for local shows and stuff as well. There is a class each year, although how the selection process for that works I don't know. In America, you turn up once a week, pay some cash, get stiffed and then told to come back next week with some more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was like some kind of a cross between Drew McDonald and Mad Dog Vachon! Totally agree that he's the most unlikely person to make OVW or WWE, but damn he was great to watch.

GIB Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Does anyone know if WWE will release every Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, Survivor Series and WrestleMania on Tagged Classics? Up until the change from 'F' to 'E', obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
