$tew Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Big masked guy. Should have mentioned that. Looked pretty generic as I recall just tights and plain black mask. Is this the guy?He was billed as The Machine. It was probably Emory Hale under the mask.He fought DDP on the Feb 2nd 2000 edition of Thunder, but according to the reports, he lost via Diamond Cutter in 3:59 and was never heard of again.

CTXRussomark Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Big masked guy. Should have mentioned that. Looked pretty generic as I recall just tights and plain black mask. I remember exactly who you're talking about. A quick check reveals they called him The Machine.I don't remember seeing any promos or hype videos for him whatsoever, so when he turned up on Thunder and the announcers made a pretty big deal about him I was slightly taken back. Then 5 minutes later he jobbed cleanly to DDP was never even heard from again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sichadelic Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 "Hale" actually made a couple of appearences on WCW Saturday Night IIRC. Not sure if he wrestled, but I'm sure I remember him being with Jimmy Hart and doing a run in of sorts sometime in late '99/early '00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny McBride Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 On the surfboard issue - number one, intention is not necessary for a pinfall. In amateur wrestling the WHOLE point of the game is to stay off your back. In Lancashire style, as soon as either man goes to his back, the get stood up. A wrestler should NEVER allow his back to be to the mat. Secondly, if intention is going to be an issue for you, do German suplex double pins bother you?

For two seconds of pain? Heck, Tajiri can hold the Tarantula for a count of four before DQ and it's an entirely illegal hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean fans at the front shouting "two!"/jumping up with 2 fingers like the ref does when he counts to two? If so, I've seen this on Nitro before from '98.

JPC Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 It really took in Canada though at a WWE PPV some time. It was 2003 cos they were doing it during the Hunter/Steiner match loads. In fact they were doing it all night there Was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
