Isn't that the Reason why Roman still wears the vest? Roman wears the vest because he wears a compression girdle due to some herniated discs years ago, so the vest hides that.

Johnny Sorrow Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Gator Scott Hall was a WCW gimmick. Verne called him "Big" Scott Hall then "Magnum" Scott Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a team for ten months, but because it wasn't the 'Monthly PPV' era yet, they didn't have too many PPV/ Clash matches as a team. Part of what made them a great squash match team was that their squashes are almost the thing that defined them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 "The Brush With Greatness" Tour was a great hook for their squashes as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That babyface arm flailing Hall did after every offensive maneuver looked so out of character for Scott Hall. I mean he did that shit as a heel, but back then it made him look like a prelim jobber.

The Four Horsemen with Windham challenges that. Probably the best Horseman incarnation and also one of the shortest.

odessasteps Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) As I have said before, Tully and Arn were not a team for all that long, in the grand scheme of things. If you dont count them teaming in the "pre Horsemen" era with ole and Arn were the regular team, they're Tag Team Champs for about a year from beating the RnR in Sept 87 until leaving in Sept 88 (minus the month Lex and Barry had the belts). And then their wwf run. Edited August 5, 2019 by odessasteps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt925 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I don’t know if this is opening a can of worms here, but apparently the dude who took the Ohio shooters gun right before police killed him was an Indy wrestler, Jeremy Ganger, who was moonlighting as a bouncer at the bar where the shooting took place. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Windham turn when I was waiting for Luger to be the one to do it really got me as a kid. Then Windham putting the black glove on and clawing everyone in sight...yeah, that stuff was the best. Quote They way people speak about them in retrospect you'd think they were a team for more than a few months. I remember watching a few several WCW PPVs a clashes from that era with them as a team and his seems like they were together as long as Da Bar. I think they came about at the right time for people in my age bracket. I was about nine or ten and a devoted watcher of WCW Worldwide and Saturday Night, so most of what I saw was them killing dudes and Austin doing the camera bit, which was so good that I immediately started rooting for them even though they were heels. I'm also a big mark for Steve Austin's TV Title run where he was managed by Rob Parker, most of which I experienced via Worldwide episodes. Like, to the point that I think I enjoy it as much as anything he's done as Stone Cold Steve Austin. It's heavy nostalgia talking, I know, but that's how I feel.

Brian Fowler Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The run with Parker is actually the U.S. title. He had the TV belt before and during the Dangerous Alliance run. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was because they were featured on every single WCW TV show that makes it seem like they were a team longer than they were.

Matt D Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I do like Hijo Del Fantasma a lot. He's a guy that I had wished hadn't left CMLL when he did because he would have been a good staple for the years that I was most into watching CMLL on a weekly basis. He has some definite pros as it pertains to the WWE: Decent size, good look, able to work a lot of different styles (within lucha confines), probably a good sense of wrestling politics given his family, a great English speaker. Him coming in at 35 with at least fifteen years of taking bumps feels very different than Garza, Jr. coming in 26 or Almas who is only 29 now (which is about the age Mistico was when they brought him in). The closest comparison feels like Del Rio who was 32 when he was signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
