Honestly, you really do have to include the sumo match against Yokozuna on Raw. It's such a great moment when he wins (spoilers for a 25 year old match). It was a really nice send off for him, as it was his last televised match before heading to WCW. Probably one of the few times a wrestler was given a big win by Vince on his way out the door. Definitely a testament to how well liked he was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I’ll say more about Tenta tomorrow but look for the Bossman matches if you want to see his WWF work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again given Stampede's shaky on-off scheduling, he could have worked PR at the same time. Working out Puerto Rico history is tricky but Chicky Starr took credit for the gimmick, bringing in Moffat from a New Japan tour to play Jason. Moffat said he hadn't even seen any Jason movies at that time and had to rent them in Japanese while in Tokyo. After a six month run in PR, he took the gimmick back to Calgary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Double post! Cagematch's entries for these monsters are all over the place. They list Bob Baragail as working a lot of them in W*ING when he only really turned up right at the end. They undersell Rafael Rodriguez's tenure as Jason considerably.

Custos Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Not sure if this is too random to belong here, but with the news that Russia is forbidden from using their country name, flag and anthem for the next two Olympics, my mind obviously went to wrestling, having all the athletes embrace their ‘otherness’ and insist on being announced ‘...from Parts Unknown......’ with some kickarse alternative flag and entrance music. Just a thought. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while on Twitter it might be worth following this account. They do a pretty good job being Monsoon and Heenan and cover live shows going on. And while Heenan was alive apparently they found out from his wife that he liked it. So there you go. https://twitter.com/WWFPrimeTimeNow Edited December 18, 2020 by NikoBaltimore Had to put just the link as linking to their page lists a bunch of tweets.

Jan 2021 in MS there will be no attendance caps on indie shows. One state to the west,LA,their commission has said it might be 2022 before they allow any wrestling to happen.

Yeah, well our grandfathers were damned bad-asses and still got extremely lucky. Hey, I was in the army, like the majority of Finns, as a civic duty, and I don't really like our chances. So, thank you for the vote of confidence, but we REALLY hope it will never come down to that, again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Yeah, they did try you again in the Continuation War, which I didn't know about until now. The more you know... But anyway I'd like to think Scandinavia is pretty much off-limits whereas the UN are murkier about Ukraine and other satellite countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's a super valid reason us Finns don't like to talk about that one! Our own little "wait, doesn't that make us the bad guys, then?"-moment.
