mco543 1,382 Posted August 31, 2013 Jesus Christ that was something. What promotion was that for and how the fuck did that make air? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Territorial 244 Posted August 31, 2013 Jesus Christ that was something. What promotion was that for and how the fuck did that make air? Women's Championship Wrestling. I have no idea when - or if - that promotion got off the ground. Never been able to find results or anything else from the promotion. The Prince promo in that video (and the one before it) are from a commercial VHS tape called "Best of Women's Championship Wrestling - Vol. 1". All the footatge I've ever seen from that promotion comes from that tape. They advertise Vol. 2 at the end of the tape, but I don't know that it ever came out. The promoter (whose name escapes me at the moment) went on to promote :LPWA. Most of the promos on the tape are racist, misogynistic, or homophobic. It's really a nasty, amateurish production.

Territorial 244 Posted September 1, 2013 Just came across this on Youtube. I saw this when it aired and forgot all about it. From International World Class Championship .Wrestling out of Boston, Vic Steamboat.... tells a story on the air. Tells a story in the most relaxed, boring manner possible. I'm not sure how this would make me want to see him wrestle. It does sort of make me want to hear him read a book on tape, preferably late at night when I'm trying to fall asleep. If nothing else, Victor has a very soothing voice (really, that and a good physique were about all Victor had going for him) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKzn8yHxhEY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BEN! 1,957 Posted September 1, 2013 I'd like to know, TO TRULY KNOW, how Ken Patera wasn't able to talk his way into that McDonald's when he had such superior oratory skills as was showcased in the profession of professional wrestling, BOY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notoriusvig 457 Posted September 2, 2013 That Hogan strap promo isn't too bad but who the hell came up with that name for the match? Just call it a strap match. I do love hearing Hogan say "a-cha" every time he swings the strap at the floor. Also, I'd love one of those yellow on red Hulkster shirts for the gym. The yellow letters really stand out. The Prince doesn't look so good looking, btw. Maybe that was the idea, I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mco543 1,382 Posted September 2, 2013 He looks exactly like you'd expect some sniveling rat bastard 80's teen movie bad guy to look when he grows up and becomes an investment banker or hedge fund manager.

davidb 52 Posted September 2, 2013 That Hogan strap promo isn't too bad but who the hell came up with that name for the match? According to Kevin Sullivan in his End of WCW DVD from Kayfabe Commentaries, he says it was all Hogan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Victator 4,637 Posted September 2, 2013 That Hogan strap match promo was great. It sounded like a real wrestling promo and not thirty hours of lame back and forth. He said he intended on cutting Flair up and peeling his hide off with the strap. I remember Jericho shit on it in 2000. Which I guess is because it did not have enough jokes and one liners in it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Mann 2,075 Posted September 3, 2013 In a vacuum, that Hogan promo is perfectly acceptable. It's just that WCW was going to hell in a handbasket around it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JRV 266 Posted September 3, 2013 Sorry, but the thing bothered me most about the AJ promo was the fucking audience. "YES!" at a TNA show. That's like that one indy show with Mr. Belding where the faces started doing WWE catchphrases. It's fucking stupid. The promo was just fine. It's pretty compelling and energetic throughout. Why would that go in this thread? There are some suck ass promos in wrestling history.How are those two things anything alike? Are the fans workers now? Is it fans job to get the show over? If you're gonna complain about fans chanting shit to amuse themselves well I'm afraid that ship sailed like 15 years ago. Oh god. Oh god god god. Were you part of those old debates about dueling chants and ROH fans constantly trying to put themselves over and not even watching rhe ring anymore? Are the fans workers now. I didn't say anything of the sort. I can lament the abundance of self-indulgent marks and it doesn't mean I'm saying fans need to behave in a specific way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace 4,873 Posted September 3, 2013 So the real reason the WCW crowd turned on Hogan before his turn was because they were too self-conscious? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Victator 4,637 Posted September 3, 2013 Because he was squashing Flair, Vader and other long time favorites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
