Phantom Lord Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 According to Bret on the law, The DVD is going to be complete bullshit because of Martha's meddling. I think Bret might be a little confused. He said that there wouldn't be any Stampede stuff on it but there it is in the listing. I have no doubt though that concessions had to be made to Martha though. As for the match in Times Square, that was part of the big hype for Bam Bam vs. Lawerence Taylor. They had "open workout" as it was called with a ring set up. Didn't know they did matches so that's a cool little gem they dug up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they redo it a couple of years later in Boston for WrestleMania XIV? Wrestling outdoors in Boston in March sounds like being sentenced to the 2nd circle of hell.

(BP) Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 The Boston workout was the one where they did a DX/Austin beatdown and Shawn showed up wasted and almost left when someone threw something at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Athena worked Booker T little indie promotion. I know that most the talent are lesser known indie guys from the Houston Area but has there been any other talent thats gone to NXT from his promotion I know the Uso's wrestled there before going to FCW. It would make sence for ROW to be another feeder system for NXT as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Remember when Booker T was told his promotion was gonna be the developmental system for TNA. So Book when out and bought an expensive video production system and cameras then TNA management undermineded him and made the Dudleys promotion the developmental system for the company. Leading to Bookers departure from TNA. Chalk that up to LOLTNA. Why couldnt they use both companies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Athena and Busick are awesome, but I won't be fully satisfied until they sign Dalton Castle, damn it. While I would love to see Dalton on a huge stage, I'd hate to see him in the WWE. I know he did one match for one of those TNA "one night only" ppv's and they gave him girls. I can't imagine the WWE would ever let him do the full on Dalton with the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week, their TV show moves to a better station and time slot, and they're building a combination school/TV studio for their home base. And he's got a couple of guys working for him that I could easily see getting picked up someday by WWE or ROH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I vividly remember the line "The Heartbreak Kid doesn't lay down for anybody!" as wellHe was saying that a lot at the time. I think he was such an obvious lame duck champion and a speed bump in Austin's ascension that they were trying to create intrigue around a shoot deal where Shawn would refuse to job.

Victator Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I am certain that was WWE who screwed Booker on getting the developmental territory. They started FCW from scratch instead. It was a big factor in him leaving WWE years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a big factor in him leaving WWE years back. I was wondering if I was the only one who remembered the story that way. Yeah, I remember Booker T being led to believe his promotion would become a WWE developmental system and they went to Florida instead after Booker sunk money into cameras and a few other improvements. Almost certain that's the way the story was reported in Wrestling Observer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Went to the Calgary house show last night. Reigns vs Wyatt street fight, Rollins vs Ambrose, Jericho vs Owens, Cesaro vs Harper, and a red-hot match between New Day (Big E and Xavier sans Kofi) and the PTPs. Also had Bo being Bo and huge hometown support for Nattie. It's difficult to rank these things, but definitely one of the better shows I've attended. Compared to the paper-thin Huntsville show from last night, I'd say I really lucked out. * Dolph Ziggler defeated Rusev * Neville defeated Adam Rose with Red Arrow * Jimmy Uso defeated Heath Slater in a dance off. Uso superkicked him and Slater complained, demanding another match. Uso defeated him again but Slater wanted another match. * Mark Henry came out and defeated Slater. * Ryback retained the Intercontinental Championship over Big Show * Becky Lynch and Charlotte defeated Sasha Banks and Tamina Snuka * The Dudley Boyz defeated Los Matadores and The Lucha Dragons in a Triple Threat. El Torito ran down during the match and attacked Matadores * Randy Orton defeated Sheamus with a RKO. Orton got the biggest pop of the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
