odessasteps Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 As a man who once played Captain America, Frakes would not have stolen the Mid Atlantic title. 2

Mister TV Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Looking back no promotion ever having a "Russian" turn face and "defect" to the US was a huge missed opportunity/ I'm not talking about at the end of the Cold War when it was silly to have some Soviet flag waving heel, thinking of 1985 and either Vince, Dusty or Bill Watts watches Moscow on the Hudson and gets the idea for it.
The Great ML Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 But would Gorilla Monsoon stop calling him a piece of garbage every time he saw him? 1

Nikita's turn was out of necessity, had Terry Allen been driving a Volvo and not an Orthodontist killer, the turn doesn't happen the way it did. 2
Infinit Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) The free Impact show at the CNE last Friday was pretty cool! Got to see Yuya Uemura up close, and he looked really good in a losing effort to Rohit Raju. Jake Something, who is a really really big dude, beat Champagne Singh in the main event. They ended with a Q&A with Santino Marella and Josh Alexander. I've known Santino for over 15 years, it was great to reconnect with him. And Josh was a really good dude. Great that he's healthy again. I actually got free tickets to the show last night but unfortunately couldn't make it. Edited August 28, 2023 by Infinit 11

Robert S Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 I just realized that the "real" NWA World Heavyweight Champions are dying out. In principle Dory and Flair are the last two "real" ones (as in NWA-board approved and defending the title in different territories). Tommy Rich's run never took him outside of Georgia and by the time Garvin got it, JCP controlled the board (and at least cagematch does not have an non-JCP matches during his reign; there are a couple of UWF dates, but that was after Watts sold the company). 1

Mister TV Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) I was in Las Vegas last week for a Roller Derby convention and on Sunday I was on the hotel elevator and Jimmy Hart got on, at first I was like "that dude looks like Jimmy Hart" and then I realized it was him! My god is his combover amazing!!!! He should do a Master Class or Ted Talk on it, I'm not really saying that in a joking way, it's an impressive site to behold. I didn't want to bother him so I just said hi when we got off the elevator, shortly after that when I was eating breakfast I saw him talking with Madusa, as she was leaving I told her I enjoyed her book and we chatted for a bit, the Cauliflower Alley Club was having their convention/banquet that night. When I was telling Medusa that I coach Roller Derby she had a total look of "don't kayfabe me" when I explained that it's an on the level sport, I'm assuming there's no way to convince someone from the pro wrestling world that modern derby is as real as real can be.

I completely missed this era of Raw/WWE This is EC3 in his first WWE run on the old pre-black and gold NXT Redemption that was web only (I think? Maybe it was in syndication too or on Hulu?) - some real weird stuff in that run, with Johnny Curtis (now Dango) as the highlight. 2
Dewar Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Johnny Curtis, Derrick Bateman and Maxime were the best on that NXT run. It still aired in Canada on regular television at the time. 2
