Did Ron Waterman ever end up on TV at all or was he strictly a dark match guy?

He never made it to TV.

Doom were Tweeners for that feud with the Horsemen too, there was even a match where Sting teamed with (I think) Ron Simmons after Butch Reed no-showed.

NWA @ Charlottesville, VA - October 7, 1990 (3,400)
The Master Blasters defeated Mike Rotunda & Tim Horner
Ricky Morton & Terry Taylor (sub. for Robert Gibson) (w/ Steve Travis) defeated Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane after Travis hit an interfering Jim Cornette, with Taylor then hitting Lane with Cornette's tennis racquet
NWA World Champion Sting defeated the Black Scorpion
NWA World Champion Sting (sub. for NWA Tag Team Champion Butch Reed, whose father was in the ICU) & NWA Tag Team Champion Ron Simmons defeated Ric Flair & Arn Anderson when Sting pinned Flair

 

 

 

I was actually at the Charlottesville show. I remember someone threw some candy or something into the ring and it hit Bobby in the face. They had to stop for a minute b/c I think he had something in his eye. Luckily he was ok and they found the idiot who did it and threw him out of the building. Had it been Louisiana or somewhere in the Mid-South territory back in the day, he would've probably have been escorted to the back to have a "talk" with one of the wrestlers.

And I wanna say that Al Perez played the Black Scorpion that night. WIki says that Angel of Death or Jeff Ellis was the one doing the house shows but I thought it was Perez that night just because of the way he moved. I've never seen Jeff Ellis but IIRC, the guy I saw was too small to be AOD. Keep in mind this was 30 years ago and I was only 11 so I could be wrong but I thought it was Perez.

Yep...guy on Twitter responded actually. He has a ton of cool art btw. I don’t see Barry Sting off the top of my head. Pink and black paint I think it was and there’s some pink on there but no black.

Thunder in Paradise and a made for TV movie he was in I think. 

I always thought it was stupid when Bischoff referenced the movie and showed a clip of it, when Sting was still the badass guy up in the rafters.

I don't remember it, but that sounds like a Bischoff move.

I can't find a clip of it, but it's from the November 10th, 1997 episode of Nitro. The night after Montreal, where they all have the Canadian flags.

But yeah, totally stupid thing to bring up or show. Damaged the mystique a month before killing Sting's build all together.

Can a show with Malenko/Guerrero on it really be the worst show ever? 

Yep lol Malenko wasn’t into it as his wife was in the hospital or something IIRC

She was in labor, I believe. I think Tenay mentions this during the match or at least the next night on Nitro. 

To which I'm assuming Heenan said something derogatory.

I obviously understand Malenko but I always thought that had everybody else did business right that night, he would have to. You had Hogan up and quitting, Nash, and Raven. So Malenko said f*** it me to I’m ready to go home and see my youngun. None of those guys have ever admitted it but they were all in in WCW until that night.

As a kid I felt it was my duty as a wrestling fan to support any pro wrestler’s movie, so I definitely watched Shutter Speed. I remember trying to get my mom to let me rent The Real Reason (Men Commit Crimes) on PPV but she thought it was a soft core movie.

Yes.  I have almost no memory of that match, not to mention the best guys in the world can still have serious letdowns.  Chris Benoit wrestled Eddie Guerrero at One Night Stand 05 which at the time was one of the best received WWE PPVs ever and you could argue that may have been the worst match on the show.  It was absolutely the most disappointing.

I can't remember where I heard it, maybe Prichard's or JR's podcast, but apparently Eddy was in a really shitty mood that night and absolutely did not want to be there.
