PetrolCB Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I was riffing on his weirdo foot fetish. Let’s kill this beebopping and scatting, before Rippa loses it. It’s only May 2nd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always lumped the Matador run and the Dragon run in together in my head. I remember they did a couple of videos with Santana going to Spain to become a bull fighter. He was always Tito Santana, but after a while they just were calling him El Matador. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part of the training footage was when they'd use Tito's face for the closeup shots, but stock footage of bull fighting for the far shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, either Windham went from fighting people to hunting animals (not too big a jump) to become that, or failing that he had too much fun once and a woman told him to buzz off...but she didn't know that they were meant to be together and he had to show them this....it was only because of true love, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 The thing that confused me about El Matador was it came so many years after the Martel split that it was almost too little too late. As for the Dragon, I'd much rather have him breathe fire than carry a fucking lizard to the ring but yeah, acting like he was a 'new' superstar even though it was only three years ago he was last in the company was ludicrous. Speaking of bare feet, remember when Barbarian was Fatu's tag partner in the Headhunters and they tried to get Fatu to start wearing boots and it kept distracting him from winning matches? I don't care, I loved that gimmick as a kid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm really liking the match listings for The Evolution of WWE Women's Division DVD. I'd only make one or two changes: http://www.wrestlingdvdnetwork.com/full-match-listing-evolution-of-wwe-womens-division-dvd/154103/ Notice there's Moolah matches but no spotlight on her. I'd lose the former with the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Why did they pick the shittiest of the Blayze-Nakano matches? Put on SummerSlam '94 instead. And if they're spotlighting Ivory, why is her match her getting squashed by Chyna? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 At first he was El Matador Tito Santana, but at some point they dropped to just El Matador. I *think* Gorilla said something about The Dragon, El Matador and The Texas Tornado being all three former intercontinental Champions at SummerSlam '91, after they had all lost their full names. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I think the RAW match was better than the SummerSlam match (the shittiest is the Hog Wild match fwiw) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot the title change was in Japan, was thinking it was at SummerSlam. Then I retreat fully to my other explanation: they picked the better match.

Goodear Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 They really should have just gone to having a last name... Steamboat Santana Von Erich It honestly... kind of works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I started watching in 1991 right around the time The Dragon and El Matador were a thing. To me, it never felt like they WEREN'T admitting Dragon was Steamboat, etc, just that it wasn't the name they referred to them with. I recall a last name or two coming out every so often, and they didn't ignore their past history. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORELOCK Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 The aforementioned SummerSlam 91 was a tape that got worn out in my VCR, and I can confirm that Fink definitely announced Kerry as "'The Texas Tornado' Kerry Von Erich." He was only around for a few months after that, IIRC, so I'm not sure they ever fully dropped it. They also never fully dropped Santana's name (or acted like Matador wasn't Santana). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
