Sichadelic Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 ...and also the guy that could supposedly force a man to submit in hundreds of different ways via nerve holds.Yoshi Kwan, his finisher was some weird thing where he grabbed his opponents armpit.All I know about him is he also wrestled as Chris Champion elsewhere.*EDIT*Obsessed With Wrestling has this:July 19, 2002: Chris Champion suffered a major stroke and is in the critical care unit of St. Thomas Hospital in Shelbyville, TN Wow....Thanks for the names, and the albeit sad news. Now I know the names I'll happily research elsewhere. Thanks guys.
Kenny McBride Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 *slaps head*Yeah, I should have remembered Chris. He never did much in WCW (though he did have a pretty good match with Cactus Jack), but when after he left, he went and did a bunch of awesomely crazy shit in front of less than 200 people in Shelbyville with Gypsy Joe. Barbed wire boards, barbed wire baseball bats, cutting Joe with his sword - man, I fucking LOVED Yoshi Kwan!
fraserbee Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 (edited) What happened to Mark Rocco?I believe he had a heart condition or something which forced him to retire in the early '90s. Edited June 4, 2005 by fraserbee
NBT Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Yoshi Kwan's gimmick was that he was a wrestler from the future, the year 2002, as far as I remember.
The Mighty LC Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 Yoshi Kwan's gimmick was that he was a wrestler from the future, the year 2002, as far as I remember. Not sure about that, but a previous Chris Champion gimmick had him as a wrestler from the future, when he formed The New Breed with Sean Royal in 1987 JCP...
The Mighty LC Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 Do RF Video own the rights ECW events that they shot (fancam etc) or do WWE own this footage along with everything else ECW? Well RF still sell the Fancam stuff, so I would assume they at least have some agreement...
King Cobra Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 What was Warrior's last match of his 1998 WCW tenure? Not last televised match but last match in general. Thanks.
CTXRussomark Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 What was Warrior's last match of his 1998 WCW tenure? Not last televised match but last match in general. Thanks. The only real match he worked during his entire run was the Havoc match with Hogan.He was technically involved in the War Games match at Fall Brawl and a tag match on Nitro but did virtually nothing in them. At Fall Brawl he just appeared and chased Hogan away and on Nitro he was in the ring for about 30 seconds before a huge nWo run-in.
CurryAngel Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 What was the reasoning behind JRs heel turn in early 99?
King Cobra Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 Thanks, CTXRussomark. I think I remember that tag match. If memory serves me right, it was Warrior & Sting VS Bret & Hogan. If I recall correctly, Warrior's only real involvement was knocking into Bret a couple of times.
Larryboy Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 What was the reasoning behind JRs heel turn in early 99?That Micheal Cole had stolen his spot while he was suffering from Bells Palsy. And he was not too happy about it.
619 Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 The "bodies have been bruised, necks broken, careers ended in an instant..." video inludes footage from a tables match involving Shawn Michaels. Can anyone tell me what event this is taken from?Cheers.

Can anyone tell me what event this is taken from?Cheers. Was Shawn wearing tights or street clothes on that clip you mention? If it was street clothes, it was SummerSlam '02, as Pegasus Kid said. Otherwise, it was Armageddon 2002.
