Infinit Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 Happy New Year everyone! And RE: Jimmy Hart On this week's Tony Schiavone podcast where they cover the XWF, they said that at that point Jimmy was dating Leia Meow/Kimona Wanalaya. Which is wild. Good for Jimmy. 6 1
Cobra Commander Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 BABY TODAY IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE BECAUSE KIMONA WANALAYA IS DANCING ATOP THE ECW ARENA BABY 2 18

AxB Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 The two big Indie shows going head to head on New Year's Eve, they both put the heel over. In the last match of 2023 (EST time zone) Jun Kasai defeated Nick Gage in his home state of New Jersey, for GCW. In the first match of 2024 (EST Time Zone) The Atrocity Krule defeated Alec Price in his home state of Massachusetts, for Beyond, and is the new IWTV Champion. 1

Cobra Commander Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 now that I think about it, there's probably a timeline where if Jimmy Hart was 30 years younger, he wouldn't have been in wrestling but he would have been the DJ at a Strip Club doing his trademark lines and asking people to tip the dancers 2
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 For an extra $50 he'd perform a live version of Keep On Dancing during a private show 3
Cobra Commander Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 You haven’t lived until you see a stripper run out to the Ultimate Warrior’s theme music while in 6 inch pumps 4

Octopus Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 Instead of Dragon Dragon is it Strapon Strapon?

odessasteps Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 Can’t ever blame someone for leaving a show at the Arena early, esp if it’s still daylight.
Cobra Commander Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 They had ECW shows that started early enough to leave in daylight? But how did the vampires get to the show 3
odessasteps Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 I only went to 1 ecw show in the arena but chikara and other companies run Sunday afternoons, so at least in the summer time, you might be done by 7 or 8 in the evening.
Cobra Commander Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 (edited) now on YouTube on the Brian Turner channel- The time that Jamie and Bill Dundee appeared on the Jerry Springer Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxIzpxwyE90 edit: holy hell Bill Dundee's jacket is amazing.. meanwhile Jamie is in amazing form working his character here. Also since it's 2000, the crowd is pretty much booing everybody at one time or another except for Bill and maybe the sister. Edited January 3, 2024 by Cobra Commander
Kaptain Kayfabe Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 Is it weird that Jimmy Hart's birthday got me to post something for the first time in almost 9 years? Holy heck, it's been a minute folks. But yeah, Jimmy is the Dick Clark of wrestling. Youngest looking 80 year old I know. 4 1

To be young and dumb again... Now I'm just old and dumb. 4

Always had some free swag hat-shirt combo that was a combination of some 2000’s era PPV shirt and hat. 1

I might have typed this before on here but finding out that some Raws were taped shortly after becoming a fan in 1997 was something that made me question the rest of these things because if they said it was live and it wasn’t then 4

They had Dok Hendrix in the ShopZone hyping up a big cage match in Newark or New Haven or whatever for a Saturday night, which I assumed to be Shotgun. Now, as a grown man indoctrinated here over the last couple decades, I'd probably be psyched for the Papi Chulo/Scott Taylor match or whatever it was I actually ended up seeing - but as a kid I was HEATED.
