The Valentine/Stasiak angle is so great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I looked up "Gypsy Joe Lothario" YESTERDAY because I remember him from when I was like FOUR- and I assumed it was a Jose Lothario gimmick from 50 years ago. I now realize it was Gypsy Joe Rosario and he was weird enough to remember fifty years later. What a freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I honestly assumed that was just the same crazy old man I saw show up in FMW or whatever it was. There are two Gypsy Joes? HOW MANY ARE THERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanna dip into this era of AJ. Like, 98 to the split, and then the weird interregnum period before Muto jumps over. But I’m super unfamiliar with the end of the 90s, when they bring in Vader and UWF guys, and Omori starts getting pushed, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I just thought it was pretty interesting, considering just a few months prior, ECW had their supershows with FMW, and Awesome obviously didn't participate given how and why he left FMW. And then he pops up in fucking All Japan, in the midst of his monster push in ECW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAN Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Bobby Heenan was a great wrestler. I can't figure out how this was supposed to get Zumhofe over. He didn't get beaten by a wrestling manager in ten minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Speaking of the Gypsy Joe we all know, I didn't know he was the ref for the IWA Japan King of the Death Match tourney until I started watching it (for the first time ever completely, actually. Almost finished). EDIT: Well okay not all the matches. Speaking of which, man did Dan Severn have the best match of his career with Goto that night. Real fire from him, plus Goto just kicked the shit out of him too. Edited July 21, 2020 by Curt McGirt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a Gladiator bio on Bahu's site and there's no notes in his August results. What's the story, or, better yet do you have a link?

The Road Dogg/Al Snow/Hardcore Holly run and the Crash Holly run of that specific championship were fun, but I always thought there was a lost opportunity with getting heat on Dan Severn by being a guy that wins the WWF Hardcore Championship with wrestling holds, until eventually someone brings out the hardcore fire in him like in that Goto match.

Curt McGirt Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 That would kinda be biting Shamrock's "MMA guy that snaps" gimmick though, right? Severn was between a rock and a hard place his whole run there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
