I don't have the WWE Network to verify it but I remember a promo with Marc Lowrance and Bronco Lubich going over the rules and Lowrance being very concerned about the safety of everyone involved in the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great ML Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Oh wow. Never caught that...if that's the case, I wonder if they were playing off of "Mongolian who hates Japanese" then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 The visual of Khan in all black is quite the striking visual. But I always chuckle when everyone (including the announcers) pops when he removes the hood for every match. Like it's a big surprise lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Think they did a similar gimmick in dying days of WCW (Filthy Animals against either Team Canada or Jarrett and the Harris Nazis?) Early TNA with AMW possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theendcomplete Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I’m watching the Bunkhouse Stampede 1988 right now. Were they attempting to push the Road Warriors as singles competitors at this time? How was Flair and Hawk built up going into the event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Animal was in the Bunkhouse Stampede finals with Dusty. Hawk came up on the WCW Chore Wheel that month. James Edited June 11, 2019 by J.H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 They were 6 Man Champs and the other 2 were obviously in the Stampede. The Killer Kahn thing above has my attention. I’m not sure about the Clash question that was unanswered but I would bet the answer is yes for a few obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyChamp Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I didn’t like it at all. I don’t mind racism in works anymore than I do in movies, which are also works. If I did, the contrived, cheap execution of these promos would still be the worst part lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grilledcheese Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I don't quite understand the idea of the Horsemen being all "anti-gang" anyway. All they ever did was rat pack guys in parking lots and backstage and shit. They were a fucking gang! You can't join a gang and then complain about gangs existing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 So, how different do you think AJPW main event scene would have been in the 90s if Tenryu hadn't left? The pushing of Kawada and Misawa in particular was hastened by the departure and Tsuruta's ill health, so do you think Misawa is never crowned as the ace the way he was? Is Tenryu king of the mountain throughout the decade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 By being exactly what they claimed not to be, wasn't that just the Horsemen being normal heels?
