  1. Before Tony Khan wearing a neckbrace to sell his AEW injury on the NFL draft, what other examples of wrestling people selling injuries on mainstream TV are there?

    I can only think of Jim Cornette wearing a neckbrace on Regis & Kathy Lee over 30 years ago, and that was especially noteable because it was an injury sustained in SMW, while he was on the show promoting WWF SummerSlam '93.

  2. I remember the Mongolian Mauler for having a cup of coffee in WCW in 1990, including being in the finals of the "African tournament" to be in the Pat 'O Connor Memorial Tag Team Tournament at Starrcade '90. He also wrestled in Britain for quite a few years, notably appearing in the Robbie Brookside Video Diaries documentary in 1993.

     

    RIP.

    Vader

    Davey Boy Smith

    Owen Hart

    Yokozuna

    Mantaur

    Jimmy Del Ray

    Rip Oliver

    Dick Murdoch

     

     

    That's 11 just off the top of my head. There's definitely more if you consider all the guys Cornette managed in Memphis when he was Jimmy Hart's assistant.

    RIP Trevor Francis, Britain's first million pound player and someone who I spotted in the crowd at the first WWF house show I went to, in April 1991.

    And another Wednesday/Forest legend Chris Bart-Williams passes away the same day. RIP.

    Whether the results are in wrestling data or not, Sullivan wrestled all over the world, including Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Middle East, in addition to lots of independent shows in the 90s. 

    It doesn't have any results for him from any of those countries. Only USA, Canada, Japan, the Bahamas and one match in Switzerland. 

    I'm sure there's lots missing from the site. Small non-Mexico City Lucha shows, shows in community centres in Britain attended by kids and old ladies, random tours of Asia and Africa that have been run over the years. There was a tour of Australia in 1990ish headlined by Paul Orndorff vs Bam Bam Bigelow which I remember reading about in magazines which isn't on there. I saw El Hijo del Santo vs Blue Panther in a church in Colchester, England in 2005 (they had a 2nd match in the same city the following day), that's not on there.
