Isn't that the same boat Finn was in this time last year? He ended up doing alright on the main roster... Booking wise, obviously, the injury was bad luck. 1

Wyld Samurai Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 I can't believe I forgot about such a glorious attraction.

I keep meaning to post somewhere how I think that match might be better than their overrated Iron Man match. I certainly wouldn't call it "pretty crappy". To each his own but in my opinion, you can see that Rude doesn't really have a clue how to piece together a match at that point. He's just randomly clubbing away, punching and putting on chinlocks with no real goal in mind. It was like watching someone like Mason Ryan wrestle where you can almost see the wheels turning in his head where he's struggling to think of something to do.
cwoy2j Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 As I was watching WWE Network today, I was wondering who owns the XPW tape library and would Vince ever want it? I have two of their tapes that I bought for like $10 from one of the old Suncoast video stores. Terrible stuff but I remember always getting a kick out of Homeless Jimmy and White Trash Johnny Webb.

If true, that would be a dumb hill to die on for Dunn, who historically, has been able to read the tea leaves on who the McMahons favor. And considering the rumors that Vince (and Steph) really like Irish wrestlers it would be dumb for Dunn to admit he does not like her Irish accent. So you're saying that Kevin Dunn needs to be fired. On air. With no one in the production truck to insist on seizure inducing editing and camera wobbling while he's fired. 1

Zakk_Sabbath Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 I've been a big Bobby Roode fan since the Fox Sports Net days, but the reality is that he's 40 years old. So like AJ and Joe, it's really gotta be now or never

Swift Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 I presume this must have been shared before, but it just popped up in my youtube recommendations... 1
Curt McGirt Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Wow. Just... wow. Good lord it goes on even longer. This shit is SURREAL. 2
Niners Fan in CT Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Who was filming and why? I would have figured in 1988 that was still not a thing they'd want to be doing. Exposing the biz and such
MonteCarl Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 I swear that video made the rounds a year or so ago, because I know I saw it somewhere. Still, fascinating stuff to watch. I'd love to see a similar video, but behind the scenes at WrestleMania 5 1
RIPPA Posted October 29, 2016 Author Posted October 29, 2016 In quickly glancing around - there is a reddit thread about the videos from April 2015. So it at least was around since then. 1

I would have figured in 1988 that was still not a thing they'd want to be doing. Exposing the biz and such Jimmy Garvin filmed it. I assume it was supposed to be for his personal use and not a legitimate documetary, but it's been floating around the internet for years. LOl, I've got the footage on DVD (bought from a "tape trader" long time ago). As to why.... um, blackmail? I have no idea why you'd film that stuff, though this was 1988; pre-internet and before people started assuming everything they record could end up on the internet somewhere. Edit; In answer to the question of how long the footage has been around, I acquired it something like 10-15 years ago. And I'd been seeing "Behind the Scenes at the Bash" listed in traders' catalogs for a while before I picked it up. 2
Infinit Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 There is a Jimmy Garvin Forum on wrestling classics, I think Jimmy might have answered some questions re: the Bash videos on there. 1
