When did WWF first tour the UK?

Posted (edited)

According to http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com, these are the details of the first WWF UK event:

October, 10, 1989 in London, EnglandLondon Arena drawing ???Shown live on Sky OneKoko B. Ware pinned Boris Zhukov.Dino Bravo pinned Bret Hart.Jim Duggan pinned Honkytonk Man.The Rockers beat Jacques & Raymond Rougeau via pinfall.The Brooklyn Brawler pinned Paul Roma.WWF World Champ Hulk Hogan pinned Randy Savage.

I think the first proper tour was in 1991 if not then... Edited by Van_Dammer

How did WWF start plugging Ultimate Warrior's return at WM12? There was no mention of it at Rumble 96, so the deal must have been signed (and promos for it aired) between January and March 96, but how exactly did they announce it?

Cant remember anything other than short videos showing him in his glory days with a caption reading "ULTIMATE WARRIOR RETURNS: WRESTLEMANIA XII" kind of thing. He wasn't on TV at all iirc, as many peopel were wondering right up until the day if it would be the same guy with lots of "I heard he's bald and dead skinny now" talk in some circles.I do remember in the weeks leading up to the 1996 Royal Rumble they had a few segments where Pettingill or whoever had updates on the talks between WWF and Warrior negotiating a comeback at the Royal Rumble. But that didn't happen.

can anyone remember any instances of kurt angle ever bleeding whilst in wwe? i can't honestly remeber any occasions.

Summerslam 2001 against Austin and the Armageddon 2000 6-Man Hell in a cell match I think.:)

Angle bled at Armaggedon 2000, and Summerslam 2001. He's also had numerous busted noses/lips and such.

Yes and no, because they actually did a Birmingham date either the night before or the night after this London show, which would, I guess, technically class as a tour (I think they did a Paris date as well). But, yeah, the first long tour was in spring 1991 - something like 9 dates...

On the same sort of strand as when was the first WWF show in the UK etc, when, where and what was the WWF's first non-North American show (Canada doesn't count)?

Probably way wrong but on the WWE Global Warning Tour DVD there are three matches from a previous WWF tour in Australia from 1986.

They had shows in Australia earlier in 1985 as well. I believe those were the first WWF cards outside of North America (excluding Japanese tours in the early 80s where only some wrestlers would go)

...and they're all bloody awful, though the 2002 show itself is really very decent, even with Benoit and Angle edited off for some reason...
