Nice Guy Eddie Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Damn, did they win?The Montreal Canadiens defeated the New York Islanders 5-1. The Buffalo Sabres defeated the Quebec Nordiques 7-4. Hockey-reference.com is an awesome site, btw. Hmm, so it wasn't a total loss.Not really. Dino Bravo had retired from being an active wrestler and had been boring since about 1988 while the Habs won the Stanley Cup in 1993. I'd trade a boring retired wrestler any day of the week for a San Jose Sharks Stanley Cup championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 According to cagematch.net, Bravo's last match was in '91, teaming with Sheiky Baby against the LOD. That must've been... unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 When did WWE switch from the guard rails to the black foam set up they have now? Was there a specific incident that lead to the change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 it seems like something they did in 1998, as for specific incidents, probably nothing, but it'd seem a bit more safe to go from a rail to a barrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Figured it was for safety reasons. ROH and TNA can get away from it due to the reduced schedule. They still look better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 yeah, easier to take bumps into the barrier than the rail. Plus we got a few years of Jeff Hardy barrier running spots out of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I was at a house show at the Anaheim pond where Road Warrior Hawk got sent into the barricade and it hit a young girl at ringside. I think she left on a stretcher. The black walls weren't very long after that had happened, so I always figured it was related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The barricades were introduced the week before Summerslam 98. I very vividly remember it, because I immediately pointed out how fucking stupid they looked. I HATE the barricade. I miss the old guardrails. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Probably because the tops of them were so damn shiny (or they were white) it was distracting. I can't really tell, the footage I have looks like a 3rd generation tape or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Bugg Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 And since we're talking about old-school frivolities, am I the only one that fucking HATED the WCW logo circa 1999? Also, did Ronnie Garvin's contract with JCP expire in 1988 or did he basically give Crockett and Rhodes the middle finger and hit the bricks for Connecticut? Seems to me that it's stupid to have Garvin turn on Dusty at the Great American Bash if he was just going to go to the WWF anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Dusty booked himself to go over Garvin AND Al Perez in two-on-one handicap matches, so Garvin walked. And he didn't go directly to the WWF, he spent about five months in the AWA before going to Vince (including wrestling on SuperClash III while technically being signed to WWF.)

cwoy2j Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Dusty booked himself to go over Garvin AND Al Perez in two-on-one handicap matches, so Garvin walked. And he didn't go directly to the WWF, he spent about five months in the AWA before going to Vince (including wrestling on SuperClash III while technically being signed to WWF.) I remember reading an interview he did recently with one of the Apter mags where he said as much. He had been booked to hold his own against all 4 Horsemen at once, beat Ric Flair clean in the middle and knock Dusty out and then all of a sudden he's supposed to be losing two on one handicap matches. Also, didn't he make a stop in Puerto Rico after the AWA adn before the WWF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdA Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 What story now? Perez supposedly threatened to shoot on Flair and win the NWA title. According to Gary Hart, Perez told Hart of this, Hart told Flair and Perez was quickly gone from WCW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
