MORELOCK Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Who was Big Al, anyway? Al Green, who later wrestled as "The Dog" Not the same guy. Also, no booker was responsible for Tank pulling a knife - the story is that was all Tank, who audibly threatened to "fucking kill" Big Al before the camera cut away and the announcers fell apart trying to cover for it. So unless Meltzer or someone has since come out and said it was all an elaborate work, you can't blame Sully for this one. But you can totally blame him for booking this as a "Leather Jacket On A Pole" match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 He almost "fucking killed" Big Al with that weird "letting your opponent fall from the top to the outside, after you climb it with him on your back" spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The best part of all of that was Schiavone trying to cover up the whole thing by saying, "Oh, Tank was threatening to cut off Al's beard". And of course, Al was clean shaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Who was Big Al, anyway? Al Green, who later wrestled as "The Dog" Big Al is usually credited as being Al Green or Al Poling (911, who wrestled in WCW a few years before the Abbott incident). The Big Al who wrestled Tank is a different guy, who I've never heard of since (or before). I'm remembering Big Al as being some friend of Tank's who wasn't a wrestler, but I could be wrong about that. Not sure if Meltzer said that, or some other dirt sheet or ?

Spritenaut 32 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I hope the team was running a 70's night promotion. Otherwise, I'm at a loss to explain the guy on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoffman Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 And then there was the time Harry Truman was hanging out with Larry "Bud" Melman. I can definitely picture Larry "Bud" Melman as an ineffectual and slightly frightened NWA representative announcing an unpopular ruling, followed by him very slowly getting out of the way after the resulting fight breaks out at the boardroom table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
