No one was asking about when did guys start coming to the ring to music. I seem to remember Demolition's theme being played after they won. Hogan is the first guy that I remember having his theme song play after b/c he would do his postmatch posedown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I don't remember post-match music in NWA/WCW until the mid-90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demolition's music should be played as much as possible because it's that fucking awesome. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happ Hazzard Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Yeah he did, AFAIK Zeus had exactly 5 matches 3 in WWF, (SuSl '89, SuSe '89, NHB: The Match) 1 in WWC with Abby, and the Doomsday Cage debacle in WCW). But I count Zeus as a celebrity, not a wrestler. Otherwise guys like Mr T and Gene Okerlund would count). When was El Gigante's first match? Was it GAB '90?

clintthecrippler Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Are we counting mid '80s JCP as a still a territory at the time? Big Bossman went straight from being a jobber on the Saturday Night TBS show to the Big Bubba gimmick, and I don't think he had any experience in anything more than maybe some outlaw shows in Georgia.

cwoy2j Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 What about DDP? I know he tried his hand at wrestling before he was a manager in the AWA but hurt his knee. Don't know if he actually wrestled in any territory though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if we're only counting guys who debuted when territories were still a thing (before 1990 or so), but The Giant's first match was winning the WCW world title.

WWA Heavyweight Title: Frank Finnegan (c) defeats Paul Wight by Count Out WWA @ Route 30 Mall in Clementon, New Jersey, USA Finnegan appears to have been a Sharpe "lifer" who was billed as being 6'8" and 450 pounds.
