A Guy Named Tracy Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 8 hours ago, mattdangerously said: He was doing a Little Richard gimmick, so I think most people just came to the conclusion that he was also black. I don't think his race was ever discussed on the air at the time. EDIT: Didn’t see BP’s post Regardless, here is a terrifying photo of JBB from the WCW comic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Going back to the Sid thing, I watched a clip of an interview with him, and he was talking about working a triple threat match with Shawn and Bret. He said that in the lockerroom before the match he and Shawn were coming up with all these good ideas for the match, and all Bret's ideas were terrible. And then he said during the match Bret was completely lost, and he and Shawn had to hold it together. I don't think I put much stock into what Sid says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they actually even ever have a triple threat? They were pretty rare still in WWF at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Comic book JBB looks like demonic transvestite clown. I kinda think that that's what the clown from Spawn looks like in a speedo. I didn't discover Mero was white until long after he retired, but it wasn't until the mid-2000's. There are some really odd gaps in my knowledge where I should have been clued in to something because I was reading the Observer and other dirt sheets early on, but still got some wrong-headed idea and didn't discover till way too late that I was wrong. It's only been in the past 3-4 years that I bothered to google Big Show and realize that he is not related to Andre. For some reason, I assumed the WCW bit about him being Andre's son was true. There's also a post on some old version of the board where I set someone straight about Trevor Murdoch being Dick Murdoch's son by explaining he was actually Dusty's son. Sigh. I thought he was Cody and Dustin's half-brother. I don't even remember where I got that idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t bother looking it up, but was this the dark match from the Skydome Raw in early ‘97? I know Shawn and Bret were involved in something from that night.

Also, the Lawler feud was so contrived. And there's no winning a feud like that for a young champ. If he loses, he lost to an old man. If we wins, he beat up an old man. They should have gave Lawler a one day title reign. That was a very crystalying moment in realizing WWE will never do anything resembling a risk. 28 minutes ago, PetrolCB said: I can’t bother looking it up, but was this the dark match from the Skydome Raw in early ‘97?

The week before they were promising to show the Rumble match in a bait and switch. They ended up showing clips of the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At King of the Indies 2001, I sat near a couple of Asian kids (about 13) who were cheering for Low Ki because they thought he was Asian. I'd have let that go, but another dude pointed out he wasn't. So they decided to cheer for Super Dragon instead 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I thought Mero was black right up until I was running that theme music tournament here. The Johnny B Badd theme drew the 2 Cold Scorpio theme in the first round, and I said something like 'here's a battle between two black WCW midcarders'. And someone commented 'what? Mero's not black', and someone else replied 'I'm pretty sure he's making a joke'. And I was like 'yeah.... a joke'. You should be able to take a man at his skin colour. I do feel better knowing that actual black people also thought he was black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
