Gonzalez Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 There's the 1 in 97 in M-Pro that's been posted and there's 1 in 94 on a WWF house show in Japan that the first few mins of are on youtube as well. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xjric7_the-undertaker-vs-shinzaki-hakushi_sport
Swift Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Otunga you fool. Such an unforgivably easy setup.
FLIK Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I love that huge schmozz going on and Lanza (?) Not sure, looks like Lanza but http://www.purolove.com/ajpw/history/carnival79.php doesn't list him as being a part of the Carnival that year
Stosh Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 The Sharpe brothers Correct me if I'm wrong. But these guys were the 1st big gaijin stars, right?
Curt McGirt Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 http://www.pwhf.org/halloffamers/bios/sharpe.asp This thread needs more Rikidozan. and for a bonus!
MGFanJay Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Saw this on my Facebook feed and thought of this thread immediately.
cool arrow Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Facebook is a great place to find wrestling pics. Like this one, for instance. And then you have the ones with the annoying watermarks. 1
Pete Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I love that huge schmozz going on and Lanza (?) Not sure, looks like Lanza but http://www.purolove.com/ajpw/history/carnival79.php doesn't list him as being a part of the Carnival that year Lanza never worked the Carnival and Dos only worked it in 1979, so process of elimination leads me to believe that was Bill Francis (Ed's son, Russ' brother).
cool arrow Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Hard to find good pics of Bill Francis, but here he is (year unknown).
Pete Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Yeah the entracnes were cool but then you have 1990's not good yet Undertaker doing his slow motion shit against Hakushi doing his slow motion shit. Spoiler: There were rope walks. My advice is find the Hakushi vs. Great Muta match instead. What a crazy, bizarre spectacle that was. Only in pro wrestling. And the Muta match is why Hakushi's covered in blood here, IIRC. Muta "killed" him, and he was resurrected to face Taker. I know Pete had one of the magazines where Shinzaki went to that really big cemetery in Queens to bury his Hakushi gimmick. I forget if it was after the Muta match or the Taker match. After the Muta match because that was the "death" of Hakushi. I so wish I kept that mag because it also had a photo of Shinzaki with Vince signing his release form and rocking a perfect "the shit I gotta do" face for the cameras. That Hakushi/Muta match really was insane. Muta using Hakushi's blood to paint the kanji for "death" on his gimmick as the crowd loses their collective shit and the announcer screams "DEAAAAATH!" 1
BrianS81177 Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 What is this from? I dont remember hearing about 3 Leatherfaces in one match before?
The Great ML Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I apologize for the quality, it's the best I could do...taken from the new JCP doc: 3
Gonzalez Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Okay, what the hell? Did the Horsemen have a mafia themed photoshoot, or was that a real mafia hit, and it happened in a Italian restaurant that had a autographed 4 Horsemen mural painted on it's wall? 2
The Great ML Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Either way, JJ is ecstatic with the proceedings...
Curt McGirt Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I like that you look at that pic and out of five guys you still want to punch Tully in the mouth in the worst way. I'd like to say that for the second (and he still looks the most punchable) but he's just too old and nice now. Actually Vince is the most punchable in that one so we have a winner! No idea where the Leatherface image came from, just something I picked up on a Google search for Cactus vs. Kanemura
damnnearfonzie Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 The GREAT ML, thanks for that scan brutha!!! 1
FLIK Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 What is this from? I dont remember hearing about 3 Leatherfaces in one match before? I didn't notice at first but if you look closely it's a photoshoped pic whear they took 3 diffrent shots of Leather & merged them together That or it's just a weird square shaped ring with 6 turnbuckle corners & 2 sets of triplet cameramen
SovietShooter Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I cannot think of anything more offensive to me, as someone growing up idolizing the Horsemen, than Vince fucking McMahon flashing wrestling's ultimate symbol of excellence. Humbug!
Ace Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Mongo had least had the football pedigree. Roma was a WWF JTTS. The biggest moment of his career was a 1 minute job at Wrestlemania.
cool arrow Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Roma was also probably the only guy in the WWF who ever jobbed for Hogan's Axe Bomber. But he was still light-years ahead of Mongo as a worker.
