Weren't the Fantastics also in WCW at the beginning of the Nitro era? It seems strange that Tommy didn't go back there for a JTTS role like so many of his contemporaries did.

I have a feeling they changed it because of the outcry over Angle's induction.

I think it's 35 years OR 10 years in wrestling. Or at least it was then. I agree that Kurt went in far too early. And probably for the reasons you noted.

Just noticed his T-shirt saying that on prowrestlingtees. Chesterfield is my hometown so it jumped out at me. Bram actually went to the same school as me. To take a guess where he's got the "plague" thing from: There's a village near here called Eyam that was pretty much wiped out by the black death, spread to there by a package of cloth being sent to a local tailor from London. They quarantined the village successfully so it didn't spread but most of its population was wiped out.

Is it true that Bram is now being billed as "the Chesterfield Plague"?

Bobby wasn't that bad of a promo before he got Cornette as a manager and didn't need to try anymore: o

Did Boogaloo Brown manage in any mainstream promotions or just Women's Championship Wrestling and LPWA? What about "the Prince"?

When was Tony Schiavone's last appearance in the WWF? I know he was at WrestleMania VI but I'm not aware of him appearing onscreen at that event. Was Capital Combat his onscreen return to WCW or did he appear on TV before that?

You'd lose the Japan money though. Ringside seats at the Budokan were the equivalent of $3000 (by today's exchange rate). I don't know how much ringside seats were at Shea for the Bruno vs Hansen match that actually took place that night, probably 1/100th of that. The only viable finish in my mind is one that looks like a win for Ali to the boxing fans, but a win for Bruno to the wrestling fans.

If the WWWF had had a Ali vs Bruno match at Shea Stadium, with CCTV coverage throughout all the territories, how would it have done compared to the Ali vs Inoki match that happened in reality?

And the World Junior Heavyweight title.

Anyone read the Dick the Bruiser book?

After Arachnaman got kiboshed by Marvel, Brad Armstrong suggested he play Captain Planet, but it never came to fruition.

It was a minimum. I'd imagine they were actually making a fair bit more than that. Although I'm not sure how long they were there for.

Saint should be in the HOF. Maybe he will go in, if WrestleMania is ever in London. Might be the only way any British guys do get in. My class for the HOF that year: British Bulldogs William Regal Lord Alfred Hayes Johnny Saint Mark Rollerball Rocco Big Daddy Giant Haystacks Kendo Nagasaki Kent Walton Chris Adams Mick McManus Jackie Mr TV Pallo Fit Finlay Ceremony to be held at the Royal Albert Hall.

The new show is Lawler is not surprisingly, great.

This spot. I fucking hate this spot. Me too. What is it called?

Was it agreed that WM V would take place at Trump plaza before WM IV even took place? I think they could have got a stadium crowd for Hogan vs Savage.

Here's Dancing Dave in action:

They likely would have put the IC title back on Savage as a babyface somehow, using someone else as a transitional champ between the two. Probably means never getting Savage as WWF champ as the whole scenario with Honky refusing to drop the title never happens. DiBiase wins at WM4, Hogan gets the title back at SummerSlam '88 and then who knows what.

Was amazed to see Meyers age. Only 43, which made him 23 when this picture was taken:
