odessasteps Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 Given the board's interests... Cornette mentioned on his pod this week that Ricky Gibson was first person he saw do a missile drop kick (in 1974). 1
Mister TV Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 14 hours ago, Victator said: Sabu went into more detail about why he hates Jim Ross. In 1988 the NWA ran Detroit with the Sheik in the main event. His pay was 10,000 dollars or half the gate, whichever was higher. The show was a near sell out and Sheik only got ten grand. Someone told Sheik that Ross made the call not to pay the money. So he views it as Ross stole 90,000 from his family. Jim Cornette mentioned this show and there was some skirmish about pay, Sheik was suppose to do a return match but quit. The show did not draw half of what Sheik drew. The first show had Dusty and Sheik as partners vs I think Al Perez and Larry Zbyszko. Sheik turned on Dusty and the next Detroit show would be Dusty vs Sheik. Wasn’t The Sheik notorious for stiffing pretty much everyone?

I'm not home so I've probably missed his PPV match but im looking forward to watching it tomorrow 2
RIPPA Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Just a quick follow up on the Sabu thing. From the WON Daily Update Quote Sabu had very negative comments about Jim Ross after his fall yesterday. When asked to explain, he said it was over a 1988 Great American Bash show at Cobo in Detroit where he said that they gave Sheik $10,000 and his family was owed $90,000 more. Ross wasn't running the company and a $100,000 payoff for a house show didn't exist in that era. It doesn't really even exist in this era. $10,000 was unheard off for one show in 1988 unless it was a PPV show or perhaps a giant house show. I think Kevin Sullivan was the one who felt Sheik would help them draw big in Cobo and he did get a big reaction. It was a short main event with Dusty Rhodes & Sheik over Sullivan & Dick Murdoch in a cage match and Sheik used his camel clutch on Sullivan.
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 I KNOW everyone here was wondering how Enzo has been doin' since he was kicked off that flight. Well... 2
RIPPA Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 For those not following along - Enzo got himself into the 2nd row on the hard cam at Survivor Series and then when asked to leave caused a scene 1
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 I read that Enzo made a song about Liv Morgan also, I refuse to seek it out. 2
Guest Edwin Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Got kicked off a tour bus, got kicked off a flight, got kicked out an arena... You can't teach that!
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 I can only hope they took him to a back room Casino style. 1 2

Peck Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 I think we're thisclose to Enzo getting his very own Dumpster Fire thread here. 2
evilwaldo Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Enzo shows up at Raw after getting kicked off a plane for vaping. Smackdown goes 0-6 We got this at the AAA show tonight. Quite an interesting night of wrestling.
Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Never say never in wrestling. I could see Enzo being brought back. Part of me thinks this is a work.
evilwaldo Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 I think Enzo is trying to turn it into a work but HHH is having none of it. Vince on the other hand. Randy Orton is still around and Enzo did sell a lot of merchandise.

HumanChessgame Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Apparently a fan was injured during Enzo's outburst, likely when he took a header off the row of chairs. He's going to have zero dimes in pretty short order.

Hey someone else wanna make the consensual penis joke? I feel bad for talking about my weird toe, I don't wanna derail the thread again 1 1
RIPPA Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Just for the bigger picture concept I will mention this here. Meltzer said that the NXT taping at this past San Jose weekend show is a test for then for how they are gonna do show house shows on the Network. Starrcade will be the next one. Basically they are gonna just edit the 3 house shows into one hour shows.
