PetrolCB Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Because they knew it was a decent amount of time to get up and get some concessions and/or use the toilet and they wouldn't miss anything. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Anyone know if the footage aired on Pro Wrestling Plus (I gather that it was a Pro Wrestling This Week type show that aired in Canada on TSN) was the same as what was on PWTW? Someone uploaded an episode from ‘88 to YouTube. I had no idea that this show even existed. Ed Whalen is certainly not the replacement most would want for Pedicino or Solie, though. The stuff airing here doesn’t match up with the PWTW listings I have, but I’m not sure how complete/accurate those are. I’m in the process of cataloging my DVDs (it’s been my quarantine project) and haven’t gotten to that set just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow this so always happened and I don’t know why. Alot of dumb moves popped the crowd, but they atleast had a past. The Sleeper, the Claw, the Heart Punch, etc were always good for a pop because they were great once. The Abdominal Stretch was always good for it to and I don’t know why lol!

And I swear I remember mid south airing on the channel on Saturday mornings back in the early 2000s You are remembering correctly. I marked out huge at it, after seeing Golden Age of Wrestling for so many weeks (not that that wasn’t cool, but seeing Mid-South pop up out of nowhere was epic).

BloodyChamp Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Todd and Rip throwing strikes with no closed fists and not hitting the ropes until the finish. I found this looking for a match that I know happened. It was the last time I ever saw Todd IIRC but that part might be wrong. I know this match happened some time though and I never forgot it because it was the only time I ever saw somebody pinned with the headlock counter. 1 2 3. I want to saw it was on Worldwide in 94. EDIT: Well lookey there. A couple of interesting comments in the comments section lol! Anybody have any info on that?

Thomas Bugg Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I've heard it said that in 2000 when The Rock and HHH were feuding, Rock would stick to the bullet points in promos and segments, but Triple would be unprofessional and fly off the handle. Are there any clear examples of this on WWF TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 How was Scott "Hog" Irwin's death handled on TV? Was he still teaming with Bill as the Long Riders in the AWA at the time he passed or had they moved on by then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irwins finished up in the AWA in April 1986, and Scott's last match per Cagematch was in Canada for International Wrestling in September 1986. Bill Irwin went to Watts UWF shortly after Scott's last match, and Scott passed a year later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International Wrestling had a working agreement with the AWA so I thought the Long Riders coming in was part of that. Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Was it ever explained on tv why Bret Hart started wrestling singles in his initial run? Like '89 or so when he faced Savage on SNME? Was Anvil just hurt or something? I was watching at the time, but don't recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Savage match was in 87 when he was still very much an active member of the Hart Foundation. The initial singles run in '88 him and Anvil were still a team, but the singles emphasis was started with him and Bad News Brown being the last two competitors in the Wrestlemania IV battle royale, and after shaking hands and agreeing to split the prize money, Bad News turned on him to eliminate him and win the match. So that catalyzed into "he's still teaming with Anvil, but has a personal score to settle with Bad News". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I need to go through the Mid-Atlantic Gateway at some point and learn more about US Champ Snuka. Most of us really don't have great working knowledge of 79 JCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
