Where the hell are KC James and Idol Stevens off Smackdown? They appear to have just vanished completely without a trace.

They've been taken off SmackDown while Michelle McCool recovers from some nasty injury/illness suffered in November.

Who was "P.N. News" brahs?Do you think he could legit rap?Thank you.

Paul Neu. He is now based in Germany and wrestles as Cannonball Grizzly. He also competes for All Star semi-regulary sometimes using the name American Avalanche. I don't think rapping was his strongest talent.Wikipedia link -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_NeuAnd a fairly recent pic -aa1be133b511d4a1e04b8b76a445fb51.jpg Edited by Phil Jones

Yeah, he popped in for a cup of coffee between being a Dynamic Dude in WCW, then returning to WCW as Rick Steamboat's partner.

I remember watching that live(or however delayed it was on SKY) , show's how old i am! Anyway was that his only television apperance in that run? I don't remember seeing him again.
IIRC, Douglas was in for something of a big push, with the story going that they were planning on having him as a recording artist, backed up by music videos for MTV. Sounds unlikely, I know. He was around for about 3 months, and did the odd couple of Superstars, Challenge and Prime Time Apperances, and had a few MSG shots. He even teamed with Marty Janetty when Shawn Michaels was out with his knee injury (a point ECW played on when Douglas defending the title against Janetty in 95). He left because his dad got ill, and I can't recall him wrestling anywhere until he went back to WCW in late 92 to team with Rick Steamboat.His first 6 or 7 years had Douglas as your arch-typical pretty-boy wrestler. It was therefore quite a shock when he turned up in ECW as a heel, cutting about the best promos in the industry at the time...

I downloaded a torrent of "WCW Saturday Night" from sometime in June 1991.On it it had the WCW debut of "Stunning" Steve Austin. Instead of Lady Blossom being with him, it was some hot woman called "Vivascious Veronica". Anybody know who this was?Thank you brahs.

Steve Austin was initially managed by an Atlanta area exotic dancer who went under the name of Vivacious Veronica. Veronica was a one night only replacement for Jeannie Clark, who was unable to make it from her Texas area home to the tapings at the Center Stage Theater in Atlanta. When Austin found out that she couldn't appear at the show, he panicked. At the suggestion of Ric Flair, he went down to a local strip club and hired Veronica straight off the stage. He brought her with him to the Center Stage Theater and she accompanied him for his initial matches in the company. Clark was able appear at the next set of television tapings and Vivacious Veronica was never used again(Clark Being Lady Blossom)
I'd always though Veronica was around in other promotions before then. Certainly someone by that name worked in other promotions after WCW, with the USWA and PNW ringing a bell. She was definetly useless in WCW, mind, with England's own Lady Blossom being REALLY good in that role (and, as I didn't really appreciate it as an 11 year old, she was so much hotter than any other woman in the industry)...

Does anyone have any idea on the progress Mark Henry is making from his injury. I remember he was going to be out injured for a good number of months, and it's been 6 or so now.

WMP should work, as long as you have the right codecs. Tryhttp://www.divx.com and download their Codec Pack, install it, and you should be good to go.Some videos can be a little tricky, but im pretty sure theres a universal codec pack somewhere on http://www.download.com. If that fails try finding VLC Media Player, it looks pretty basic, but it plays pretty much anything, even files that are still being downloaded (although I doubt it would work in torrents since they download differently).Hope that helps :thumbsup:

I always thought she managed Eddie Gilbert at one point, possibly in Joel Goodhart's Tri-State in Philly.

You download a wee file from PWTorrents, or some other Torrent site.Open that file in a Torrent program. I'd suggest UTorrent ( http://www.utorrent.com/ ) . UTorrent is light on the hard drive, and works fine for me.Wait for your file to download.Need any more help then PM me brah.

Is Billy Gunn in the hot chocolate drink 'options' advert or is it just someone who looks incredibly like him :confused:
