sydneybrown Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I mean in fairness, summer "unofficially" starts with Memorial Day and pretty much ends with Labor Day. I give them a pass on that one. A WCW thing to do would be to hold Halloween Havoc in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely because they didn't really need it at that point in the feud. No reason to waste a gimmick match if the two never met in the ring at that point. The Desert Storm match was really just something to keep the interest in the house show market at that point. Right after WMVII, looks like they were doing Slaughter winning by DQ in a lot of the normal stops, and some of the Desert Storm matches were actually the second stops on some of these towns after WMVII. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember they were still running hogan-slaughter in August of 91. I'l never forget my first live WWF show was in Landover, MD and the main was Hogan-Slaughter with Savage as ref.

elizium Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 They showed clips of this match on the Andre doc. Why was Friday (proto-Kim Chee) reffing? During the ring announcements they said that he was replacing the "ailing Freddie Blassie", who was Sheik's manager at the time. Was the angle that Andre could beat Sheik even with his own manager reffing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhock Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I’m assuming that’s 1984 since Andre doesn’t have the haircut yet - Blassie was doing some refereeing of Sheik’s bouts at house shows; there was an IC title match against Santana in Philly with that gimmick.

Was there anything more WCW than the fact that they had a pay-per-view named after a season in Fall Brawl, but it never actually occurred in fall? It was always the waning days of summer. September is definitely in the fall season in the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Did we ever get a Sting/Steamboat match? Or any real Savage/Hogan interaction on TV post WM 7? I remember Savage making the save on the Funeral Parlour and that was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Sasha Banks wears glasses outside the ring. When she wrestles, does she wear contacts or can see enough without them? Thanks. Thinking about that reminds me of Stan Hanson. Hanson could barely see so made sure the stiffness and not the light in hard hitting puroresu.

Liam Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Did Roddy Piper quit WWF between WM2 and 3, or take time off for films, or something else? I've read a bit about it, but it doesn't seem very conclusive. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment Regal referred to Sting as "sunshine" still resonates woth me some 24 years later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 When did the Bill Watts UWF go from showing UWF matches to just showing JCP footage? I guess what I mean is when did they last show UWF content on their own show, considering by the end of 87 it looked like it was just an extension of JCP.

sydneybrown Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 9/19/87 was the first show that started using Crockett matches and 10/19/87 was the last official UWF TV taping. The last UWF TV show period was 12/26/87. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage was the special ref for some Hogan and Slaughter matches during the summer of 1991. Also on March 29, 1992, Savage and Hogan faced Flair and Sid in Auburn Hills. It was Piper and Hogan teaming together, but Piper didn't appear there that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 If I was looking for Memphis TV match listings, where would my best shout be? Between the footage I have and the stuff on Youtube, it is getting difficult to work out what aired when and where. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 MemphisHistoryWrestling.com. But there's a catch, because they pulled all the results due to publishing them as a series of books. Go to the Wayback Machine archives and THEN go the site circa 2011 or so. It gives the results in poster and newspaper clippings form of all the Memphis Coliseum shows the TV was building to, so not quite the TV results, but the next best thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Was there ever a time where Ole Anderson to the WWF was ever considered a thing? I wish they'd have given him a humiliating gimmick in the early 90s, like pairing him with The Model as his mouthpiece, and instead of Arrogance, they used Oil Of Ole instead. Pretentious artiste Ole would have been tremendous. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
