Porkchopcash Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 A top episode from Memphis. Featuring Macho, Lanny, The Fabulous Ones, Koko Ware. Savage is on fire throughout the whole episode. You can see where Vince stole the Savage/Steamboat angle from.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchopcash Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Never heard of this before. Was it legit? I know it probably was not set up as a legit fight but did it turn into one or was it a work? Andre’s back was mashed st that time wasnt it. Looks awkward tho whole thing. The Hearthquake had a similar shoot thing go one years later as well i think.

Maeda had a reputation for pulling that kind of stunt, particularly if he was booked in situations he didn't like, or against people he didn't see as "legitimate". I don't think the full story's ever been clear - one school of thought is that Andre started it, possibly at Inoki's instruction, to try and teach Maeda a lesson. For all the stories of Andre being potentially uncooperative, I think this would be the only real example of footage of him actively trying to shoot on someone if this were the case. The other explanation given is that Andre was drunk, and Maeda took exception to having to work with him in that condition, getting more frustrated as the match wore on. That Inoki seems to have a problem with Maeda when he storms out, and not Andre, would certainly suggest it was him that started it. Either way, the match was apparently unadvertised, and only booked with a couple of days' notice, so something was likely up before the bell had even rung.

DavidB6937 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Too many of them to link directly but the Performance Center videos from the Royal Rumble weekend are well worth watching. Wish they did these things more on TV. So much easier to get behind people with genuine reactions. I know it doesn't work for heels in general but for the faces? Definitely. I got more from Black in about 20 seconds in his post Rumble reaction than for most of NXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffbag Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The only footage (i believe) of Tommy Rich winning the NWA title and his only interview as champ.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always cringe when you see the locker room empty to "celebrate" a new champion. I get that it is to put over the magnitude of the win, but logically a babyface win would hurt other babyfaces from receiving a shot at the belt, if the majority of matches are Heel v Babyface? Also if you accept that back then wrestling was portrayed as a sport, is there any other sports that you would see an individual win celebrated by rivals? I can't really imagine Cliff Lazarenko/Eric Bristow and Alan Evans jumping for joy, when Jocky Wilson won the World Darts Championship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boshealecta Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) I got bored whilst off work sick. Laid up with a bad back and wanted something to do with my hands (no jokes please). I need to get out soon! https://youtu.be/ArtV9ndCsfM Edited February 6, 2019 by boshealecta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've seen that loads. You can't tell me you don't like the footage of Andre celebrating with Hogan and pouring champagne on him. It made the heel turn even better. Edited February 6, 2019 by gmoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
