Of course, she looks great for 40 regarless - especially since 40 for a wrestler is 57 for everyone else. Indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them showing the end of the match on Worldwide but never seen the full match. What was the reasoning for Flair (1) Getting the title back (2) Getting the title back at a house show? And I know he hated his look then but I always dug it Ahhhh the glory days when WWE were having to go back and edit the F out of all their old footage so Sky Sports began showing 1990 WCW Worldwide shows instead. So many Doom and Steiner squashes <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISTR they were pushing this show huge locally and were expecting a big crowd before the blizzard killed off their walk-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 On the topic of both body shaming and Gail Kim, I was scrolling down the channel guide the other day and an episode of her husband's show read something like "Robert demands his wife to get in shape before an event". I was like, "you're telling that to a fucking pro wrestler?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Heh, my bad. The Robert Irvine Show appears to be a Springer-esque talk show. I thought it was a reality show which is why that blurb seemed so ridiculous; Gail could remove his appendages one by one if he suggested she slim down probably.

Still don't get why it was not Barry Windham. Would have been a better match, since Barry could disguise himself easier. Or hell just go with Angel of Death.

Flair used the Black Scorpion ploy to mess with Sting's head, leaving him vulnerable, you mean. It's just like how he made Warrior and Savage paranoid towards each other so he could steal the belt back in 92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actualy makes everything tie together retroactively. ven Barry as the faux Sting works when you realize Flair didv not want Sid to win the title.

Scott Hall on JBL's little interview show on the network talked about how they would steal JBL's cowbell he brought with him to the ring and wait for him to be wrestling to stand at the entranceway and ring it until he noticed. A great rib. Cutting up people's gear and stealing passports not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They backed off the Angel Of Death plan. I would guess because they knew him and Sting could not have a PPV quality main event. Which seems off now but in 1990, more was expected of the NWA Champion. The Sid/Sting match being the outlier. As a kid I thought it would be Rick Steiner but that would have too many complications. Just occurred to me that Eddie Gilbert would have been perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
