I always thought a superplex factored in as well.
I think the regular suplex was originally one of the five but over time people replaced it with the Sharpshooter instead.

WCW: Starrcade '90 PPV intro. Spot the mistake:

What are the chances that Andy Kaufman and Dan Shocket, the heel writer from the Apter mags were one and the same? Kaufman died in May '84, Shocket was reported as having died in the January '85 magazines so the timeline matches up. Kaufman famously knew Apter. Their heel personas were pretty much the same.

Dale Mann at his outlaw mud show best.
Dale "TNT" Mann apparently killed at least one person:

Polynesian Pro is only getting an episode because of who the producer is, and it's inexplicable that Georgia, the most viewed territory of the late 70s/early 80s that these shows are mainly focused on, doesn't have an episode.
If they are going a 5 man roundtable of notable stars from that territory for each show, they are really going to struggle with Portland, Stampede and World Class.

Honestly, Flair bleeding at WMVIII, as even though it made a great match even better, he had to force a kiss on Liz in the aftermath.

Blake Jenner would make a good Kerry Von Erich.

What was the second WCW Thunderdome cage match? Not the 89 one with Flair and Muta
Was Ron Simmons vs Butch Reed at SuperBrawl 1 in the Thunderdome cage? I remember they billed it as "Thunder Doom".

Anyone ever heard of "Bonecrusher" Dan Sileo? He's listed as a former CWA (Otto Wanz) World Champion on Wikipedia, beating Road Warrior Hawk for the belt, but I've never heard of him and every other source has Rambo winning the title on that date.

I think once you get to like the MC Hammer era is when you see a throughline between people popping up doing rapper gimmicks and folks quoting rappers.
However, before that though, we had the Wrestlerock Rumble:
My Mount Rushmore of MCs: Rakim, KRS One, Kool Moe Dee, and Larry Z.
The trauma of being involved in the WrestleRock Rumble strongly influenced young Curt Hennig's muslcal tastes.

Davey Boy won on all the UK shows, including winning the prestigious Samovar battle royal at European Rampage '91, and the European title in 1997.AFAIK his only loss in Europe after leaving for Canada in 1980, was to Michaels at One Night Only in 1997.

Tajiri's book is expensive and only 132 pages. I'll give it a miss.

Iceman Parsons and Lanny Poffo vs Jim Neidhart and Butch Reed. Good but fairly nondescript match from 1983 Mid-South TV but notable for being the first match where Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler worked as commentary duo.

Some of the early WMs weren't that bad but at least they were memorable, the roster was kept fresh and you had different guys in different places on the card on every show. King Kong Bundy won a squash at the I, main evented II, was in a comedy match with midgets at WM III, and then he was gone. The roster has been so stagnant in the last 20 years, people stay around forever in the same spot, and all the WrestleManias blend together with the same few guys rotated around, facing each other in different combinations.

Anton Geesink the third guy?
I see you discovered Meltzer's notebook the week before Bash at the Beach '96.

Good job Brian Knobbs was wearing that t-shirt as he's unrecognisable otherwise. He looks great.

Yep. As a collaboration with the game, before that Jim Steele was the Lacrosse.
Why was he named after Canada's national sport?
And why wasn't there a Jeffry McWild wrestler as well?

That' a European zero, not an 8.

I think Patera saw how much money Paul Orndorff made during that 85-87 period he was in prison and thinks that should have been his spot. Which it wouldn't have been he'd have been low down the Heenan family pecking order, below Orndorff and below Bundy. He'd have been the designated jobber in tags and 6 mans against Hogan and partners. Maybe he'd have got a few matches with Hogan. Going to prison did cost him several hundred grand at the end of his career though. He might as well be honest about the McDonalds incident at this point, since it's not like putting a rock through a window sent him to prison, he'd have only been fined for that. Him and Saito beating up 13 cops and breaking the leg of one of them was what sent them to prison.
