No, he was actually working as a babyface. Walking out with Fujinami's old Macho Dragon theme. Kendo Kashin I mean, not Bradshaw. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 What's the over/under on how many indy workers were named "Chris Michaels" and "Suicide Kid" back then? Notice they had to specify the territory of the ranked versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would guess there's at least 7 others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Funnily - Cagematch claims there have only been two Chris Michaels There is the one who worked WCW and Smokey Mountain who also went by Chris Comet And the one from New York who was in UWF and ECW when it was Eastern Championship Wrestling (plus was a jobber on WWF TV under a different name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because fed could easily mean federal agent, rather than wrestling federation. And it could be seen as you're panhandling for funds to bribe a law enforcement officer there. Also, airfare to Japan, hotel, tickets to a show and however you organise a sponsored meal with a wrestler can't come to much than ten thousand at most, right? You could be having dinner with Hana next week if you set your mind to it. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Masters was getting good near the end of his WWE run, so if he still had that fire, then sure. It’s that I just remember someone here suggesting Masters was better than Owen Hart in any point in Owen’s career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s that I just remember someone here suggesting Masters was better at any point in Owen Hart’s career. On a side note, looking back at Owen Hart, that dude was really fucking good, maybe actually underrated even in the light of how he's been lionized after his untimely death. I enjoyed his high-flying babyface stuff in WWF and NJPW, but he was an amazing firey babyface, a great comedy heel, and a great vicious heel. His range in terms of portraying a character on the mic and through his work was fantastic. He probably should have had a run with the big gold at some point. The perfect place in terms of my own interest in the matches and feuds, I think, would have been to lift the gold off of Michaels at IYH: DX and then hold it up until WM 14, dropping the gold to Austin and turning back heel in the process as he became more desperate to hold on to the champonship, targeting Austin's neck in sneak attacks, etc. Of course, neither Michaels nor Austin would have wanted anything to do with any of that, but I would have been endlessly entertained by it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's kind of the charm of this place. You'll get people saying how amazing Chris Masters is while also saying that HBK wasn't that good or that Batista carried Benoit in that one match on Raw they had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Regarding Owen, I remember as a kid watching him as the Blue Blazer and wondering how he did all of the flippy shit he was doing on Superstars. If I would have seen Japanese wrestling or lucha at that same age my brain would have exploded. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The DVDVR has charm. Most other wrestling related places on the net certainly don't. My head would have exploded like Scanners if I had seen Japanese wrestling or Lucha in 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I am 90 percent positive that the first time I verbalized the words "WHAT THE FUCK" was at 13 years old seeing 2 Cold Scorpio as the mystery man doing a 450 splash at Clash of the Champions. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also saw Liger in WCW, and that dude just blew my fucking mind and let me know that Japanese wrestling had some dope-ass, agile performers. I'll never watch Liger/Pillman again because I think now it wouldn't be as great as it is in my memories. That match just blew me away as a kid. Honestly, WCW/JCP's working relationships with Japanese performers and companies was great for opening my mind to other types of wrestling at a young age. Six-year-old me was a massive Great Muta stan, for example. MASSIVE. Actually, I downloaded his WCW theme to use as an alarm on my phone, so still a massive Great Muta stan, I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
