Mab Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 I didn't know Fonzie was a WWF referee, was he called Bill Alfonso then?
Paid Members JNLister Posted October 26, 2007 Paid Members Posted October 26, 2007 He was indeed. He also served as Giant Gonzales' handler/helper/road buddy (in the same way Tim White did with Andre).
Ant Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 He was indeed. He also served as Giant Gonzales' handler/helper/road buddy (in the same way Tim White did with Andre).Assume Khali has someone doing the same for him?

He also served as Giant Gonzales' handler/helper/road buddy (in the same way Tim White did with Andre).Assume Khali has someone doing the same for him?The reason why WWE agent Dave Kapoor (Runjin Singh) has been made The Great Khali's manager is because he can speak Punjab & Hindu and Khali doesn't know much English. Also, Kapoor is better at explaining finishes and match layouts to him.

Paid Members wolfvinson Posted October 29, 2007 Paid Members Posted October 29, 2007 On Russell Brand's Ponderland tonight, there were clips from a 1970's documentary following a laughably meek church organist called Keith who wanted to be a wrestler. Johnny Saint was interviewed in his house ("How would I train someone to be a wrestler? Break his heart"), and Keith took some really awkward back bumps in the world's hardest ring. Anyone have any idea what this was? It looked awesome, and I'd love to see the whole thing.Think that would be from the Esther Rantzen series "The Big Time". 1981 if memory serves correct.Sheena Easton got her break in one episode.
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted October 29, 2007 Paid Members Posted October 29, 2007 Just wondering if Jericho and Rey Mysterio Jr. have ever had a match in the WWE?Thanks.
Paid Members Ron Simmons Posted October 29, 2007 Paid Members Posted October 29, 2007 Just wondering if Jericho and Rey Mysterio Jr. have ever had a match in the WWE?Thanks.The only match that they had together while with the company was at a Video games awards show on Spike TV/TNN (I think)...it was some sort of video games show regardless...

It ends with the guy working a match with John Naylor at the Albert Hall. Except they deliberately never tell the guy about working and he goes into it thinking it's a legit contest. Which, in this case, it is.The show ends with him recovering from his injuries.Me also want tape.

TapOut Tapes Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Why is Jay Phoenix now called James Wallace? slightly confused by that
Paid Members JNLister Posted October 29, 2007 Paid Members Posted October 29, 2007 Correction courtesy of Simon Garfield's "The Wrestling": The match actually ended with Rawlinson going to hospital for the night. The BBC decided this wasn't a very nice ending to the show, so later went back to the Albert Hall and filmed some fake footage of Rawlinson leaving the venue as if it was just after the match.Obviously such a thing would never happen these days.
