Looks like Heenan but I have no idea what it's from. Of course, it could be foodfight/jam stuff too. It’s Heenan after he got his face shoved in a pie. It was from the Halloween themed SNME November 85. A Classic SNME.

I was thinking it seemed so at odds with the kind of stuff they were doing at the time, so guessed it was probably food-related. It's a hell of a visual.

Big E is a treat, that singles push is so overdue.

I think it was on New Japan on Eurosport with Craig De George and Oliver Humperdink commentating. They knew nothing, made stuff up, and decided that because Nailz had "D.O.C" on his uniform and was announced with Japanese pronunciation as "Nail-sa", that his name must be Doc Nelson.

I used to love their commentary. I remember Hump saying about Earthquake, who had 'Quake' on the front of his tights - 'What's that say, Shake n Bake?'. I know they couldn't use their WWF names but, seriously...

Not sure (without checking the footage), but I think it may have been part of the 1994 G-1. I don't know how many years the Eurosport footage covered. I'd always thought it was essentially '91 - '93, but Gigante & Nailz did have a 3-minute match in August '94. "Jim Owens" (Owen Hart) was my favourite. Couldn't have made him sound more like a plumber, if they'd tried.
Paid Members garynysmon Posted February 17, 2020 Paid Members Posted February 17, 2020 Not sure if this is a false childhood memory, but I could have sworn that Gordon Solie commentated on at least some of these shows? My main memory of these Eurosport bouts is Road Warrior Hawk teaming up with a Japanese wrestler and they were known as the Hellraisers. I hated him and couldn't understand why Animal had left.
KingofSports Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 It was Kensuke Sasaki (as Power Warrior). I too have vague memories of Soley commentating on some NJPW stuff. Might have been WPW, or something like that.
Paid Members JNLister Posted February 17, 2020 Paid Members Posted February 17, 2020 Started on Eurosport in 94 as World Superstars of Wrestling then became Ring Warriors (because they were worried about getting sued for being too similar to WWF Superstars or World Championship Wrestling). They had Solie, Humperdink and De George in a couple of combinations.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 19, 2020 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2020 Great promo. Always liked those lads on the fringes in WCW back then. They were all massive. Guys like Gomez and High Voltage. They'd all be monsters now. Love that the "young" 38 year old Jim Powers is on that vid though.
