firstnameunknown Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 What can anyone tell me about the British promotion, TWA. All I know is that Juventud Guerrera wrestled for them in November 2002 in Bournemouth, against Zebra Kid and then in a six-man tag team match the same night which also featured Ricky Knight. Is there any way of getting hold of this event?! Just thought it'd be pretty interesting to see Juvi and Ricky in the ring together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$tew Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 What's the Rita Romero Special? Upside down surfboard - you know, when the person doing the move is on ther back and is holding their opponent in the air by all four extremities.Words fail on how much it irritates me when a referee starts counting down the shoulders of the man doing the move.

Is it possible to bridge someone down into a pic from a Mex Surfboard without the hold falling apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know, I thought I was the only one that got pissed off by that. In what sense is that a cover? Well, their shoulders are down, and their opponent's on top of them.Is it possible to bridge someone down into a pin from a Mex Surfboard without the hold falling apart?IIRC, yes it can, although the wrestler going for the pin may have to be on the back of their head. I think it was done in a RVD vs. Jerry Lynn ECW match. Edited May 23, 2005 by MFrV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJC04 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Question time.I seem to recall in WCW in probably early 2000 the debut of this mysterious guy who had been getting vignettes aired for a few weeks. I seem to recall him beating DDP in his debut match on Thunder and then disappearing of the face of the earth.Any clues as to who this was?Sorry if i'm a little vague. I'm pretty sure this was in the period of time between Russo getting his matching orders in the January and coming back in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like one of the F.B.I to me. I don't think any of the old-style WWF Hasbros looked liked that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His shoulders aren't being held down by his opponent though.He is not being pinned by his opponent, as his opponent is not in control, and therefore no pinfall should be counted.

Do you know, I thought I was the only one that got pissed off by that. In what sense is that a cover? Well, their shoulders are down, and their opponent's on top of them.A pinfall attempt should involve a wrestler attempting to hold his opponent's shoulders to the mat.The recipient of a Rita Romero Special is not making an attempt at pinning his opponent in any way, therefore I do not believe the referee should be counting a pinfall.Is it possible to bridge someone down into a pin from a Mex Surfboard without the hold falling apart?Yeah, the person doing the hold has to roll backwards a bit so that the recipient's head and shoulders are touching the mat. It requires some dexterity.Sorry if i'm a little vague. I'm pretty sure this was in the period of time between Russo getting his matching orders in the January and coming back in April.If you're right, it must have been a Kevin Sullivan idea that they nixed when Russo came back to power. I have no idea, but can you describe the wrestler physically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
