Captain Kronos Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) That outfit from Wembley Stadium is an all-time Sherri classic, and I never tire of clips and stills from that show. But of this batch, I think I like the one with Dibiase the best. Do we know what that's from?

caley Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I really thought Vince was going to finish off with "and in the bedroom" rather than "as a father" and I was weirded out, but not overly surprised. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is consolation Abby. I am so sorry. How much did you spend? Contact me thru PM, I'll try to make it up to you. I am going off memory. I use to buy PWI religiously as a boy. The pics of Abby burnt were in an issue I missed. I knew I missed the Hogan/Sting issue. Let me check my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage, Dibiase and Shawn are all very different wrestlers. But Sherri looked like it was a natural pairing. Even great managers like Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart could not do that. I see Bobby paired with Missing Link and Adrian Adonis and it looks wrong. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon now -- I run a WCW fansite, that issue of PWI is something I've been putting off for a while now. I knew I had to buy it eventually, I'm just not a fan of black/white wrassle mags. We're good. Currently scanning in a German WCW magazine now, some good stuff in this one: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I too have seen that burnt Abby pic. Way nasty, worse than him eating raw chicken and furniture polish on promos. I will look around as well. - RAF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I am pretty sure that whatever PWI issue it was, there was a headline tag somewhere on the cover along the lines of "Graphic Photos: Abdullah The Butcher SET ON FIRE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Clint is right. I remember having that issue, and it was advertised having such photos. To be honest, I'm not even sure it was PWI. It might've been The Wrestler or Wrestling Insider (?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintthecrippler Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Found it. Having trouble posting image from phone but it's February 1995 cover date for Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Cover story was "WCW Civil War". And the Abdullah headline is even more sensational than I remember: "ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER ROASTED ALIVE!" With the giant Parental Advisory logo next to it.

Considering the Apter mags used to stick the bloodiest possible pics on their covers, I think they showed remarkable restraint. I totally remember the pic, basically the top layer of his skin was completely burnt off. There was a big pink area where the fire hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I've said it before and I'll say it again, Sherri always brought so much to any match she was involved in - moreso than just being a mouthpiece or eye candy - and should be in any self-respecting wrestling fans top 5 managers. I don't think Shawn would've gotten over as much as he did initially if he didn't have Sherry in his corner, she brought an air of legitimacy and added so much to the HBK gimmick to get it up and running. On top of that, she certainly brought an air of 'madness' to Macho Madness and I don't think Savage's heel run would've been half as effective or prolonged without her screaming away 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that Savage would try to hide behind her like he did Liz. Because dudes were unwilling to run over sixty pound Elizabeth So he tries the same thing with Sherri, guy looks at Sherri thinks "Oh fuck this." and runs over her to get Savage. It is very interesting to see how Savage changed his matches to accommodate for his change in personnel. Elizabeth was a shield, Sherri was a weapon. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I realize she could have worn all black and somehow make it work, she was that damn good. Man, we might as well make a Sherri tribute thread at this point. Heck, I'm going to tweet WWE Network and see if they can get a Sherri collection, there's a lot of goodness they can add. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 To be fair to Onita, that is probably the most formal thing he owns. Was that at a memorial show or something? He may have just not brought anything better if he was on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
