RIPPA Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 To briefly recap the Bo Dallas thing During the COVID purge last year - one of those fake Twitter accounts said he was fired so people got swept up and thought he was even though it was proven this was incorrect Somehow it come up last week that people realized he was still on the roster (Meltzer mentioned it last week but I dont know if he was the origin in the renewed interest) The WON comes out and Dave has this blurb Quote Regarding Bo Dallas (Taylor Rotunda), who is under contract but never used, he is not even brought to TV to sit in catering. He’s still getting paid and has a farm living with Liv Morgan and they’ve started a family real estate business and studying that to prepare for life after wrestling As Mark noted - you can see which part people latched onto.

SirSmUgly Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I don't want to see a dude spike himself in his own stomach or anything, but the idea behind it - heels bring in a monster to do their bidding, but the monster turns on them and one face gets over by stepping up and ending the destruction - is pretty great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for them If he would have told people way back then, that THIS is what you can achieve with it, he would have had more followers for sure! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was part of my introducing to puro. I think I saw the links on here and watched Noah talent in ROH. Everyone looks cool in this feud. Nothing is match of the year quality but it's fun. Ivpvideos had a compilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Was this aired on Hardcore TV? Is there a full version of this with Styles on commentary? From Fall Spectacular '97. Same show with Shamrock/Vader, and a weird FMW appearance by Kobashi. Edited February 20, 2021 by PetrolCB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I imagine the resident FMW expert @BAHU would know. I've tried googling this for like 10 minutes and literally nothing comes up except that tweet. English commentary over FMW matches is giving me flashbacks to those awesome (yet horrible) Tokyo Pop VHS tapes I used to have back in the 2000s. I think those tapes were my first exposure to deathmatch wrestling AND joshi (Megumi Kudo more specifically, felt like she was all over the match listings for those tapes). I also really liked the Headhunters at the time, but I was also like 11 years old and thought Ministry Undertaker was the edgiest and coolest thing ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cursory search on the network: It's the January 3, 1998 edition of Hardcore TV (23:17 is where that tweet is from exactly). Interestingly enough, Fumi Saito opens up the episode. The episode is basically clips/matches from ECW's trip to Korakuen Hall as well as Joey calling bits and pieces of FMW matches to introduce folks to FMW talent (including Masato Tanaka/W*NG in an exploding rope barbed wire match, Gladiator/Masato Tanaka, the aforementioned match above, etc.). Kinda neat. AEW should rip this off if they get rights to air New Japan content. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like What Happened When peaked with Tony being introduced to New Jack along with the Halloween Havoc '95 episode, the Black Bart "I'm gon git 60 dollars for a blade job from now on" promo, the Alabama Doink match, and the WCW SN episode with the good-but-way too long Austin vs. Windham 2 out of 3 falls match. I feel like Minoru Suzuki will help Schiavone reach his full crazy potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 20 hours ago, Elsalvajeloco said: IIRC Lanny's money came from whatever Macho was making essentially per Bischoff. The other people in WCW who were sitting at home didn't have that same deal. They had absolutely no plans to ever use him. It was less bad WCW money management and more Randy making sure his brother was alright financially. And it led to Lanny being able to afford his sweet ceiling tv. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorman Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 20 hours ago, StevieNippz said: I thought Brock's undefeated streak when he debuted in 2002 was wrapped up pretty well. He looked so awesome tossing Big Show around at Survivor Series that the title loss and screwy finish didn't seem to matter. They also didn't constantly bring up his win/loss record so it didn't become part of his identity like others mentioned Also, Brock took a loss shortly after his debut on the UK PPV when Stasiak tagged himself in and lost to the Hardys.
