There was definitely some kind of business dealings between WWF and AJPW in 97 and 98. There is even the story about talks regarding doing an interpromotional feud either for Wrestlemania 13 or 14 (which in the end obviously did not work out). Besides the New Blackjacks, also Bart Gunn (RWTL 98) and Vader (May Dome show in 98) were working All Japan while being under WWF contract.

The opening match is MJF vs Spyder Nate Webb, and Wheatus played Webb's entrance music live. So this is going to be a dumb question since I just subscribed. But when the shows air live do they eventually make their way to the On Demand section? If so how long does it take to get there? I was looking for it in the GCW section and didn't see the show listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for it in the GCW section and didn't see the show listed. Usually stuff they stream for watch along gets added to the archive a day or two later. Sometimes it's immediate. Occasionally the stream was a one-time thing and the show is not added to the archive, but I think that's to do with Fite tv exclusivity contracts. Which have time limits. I think Lost in NY is going to be on there soon though. Tweet @indiewrestling and ask, they get back to you quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept picturing a phonebook covered in blood arriving with a package of tapes and was unclear on the reasoning... John McAdam's brief flirtation with voodoo circa 1998 was incredibly disturbing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph2112 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I know this isn't the collapsing of WWE, regardless of all of the recent setbacks. BUT: They are taking a large risk here for the sake of live vs taped shows. It's likely that someone else on the crew will contract the virus. It's not likely, but not impossible that someone could die. If that were to happen, things could get really, really ugly. And would be really tragic to boot. I can't imagine even Vince thinking this risk is worth it. This is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this odd feeling Roman will be guilt tripped back. I mean Vince is a very convincing person to a lot. Roman isn’t immune to it. I can see in the next few weeks the company start to acknowledge what’s happening outside(Now that they got the local governments approval), and maybe even concoct a storyline based in reality for Roman.

DreamBroken Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 5 hours ago, LoneWolf&Subs said: So this video just appeared today. It’s former WWE Diva Amy Weber. You know the one that was the target of Orton’s infamous gym bag rib. Well she opens about the harassment she received from Orton, but also Edge as well. Rochelle Lowen was the bag rib one the following year, but this was a great watch. I had always heard the Japan photo rib story as the reason Amy left so it's nice to finally hear the full reason and that there was more to it. Also that JBL had nothing to do with it as was reported at the time, nice to hear that she's all positive about him. Shame/sad to hear that Edge and Orton were the actual reason she left, she was my favorite from all the Diva Searches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I'm curious if Vince is mad at Roman for of they just didn't mention him in order to not call attention to the last minute change. If this eventually ends up with Roman out of the company... That's the final nail in squandering the most "can't miss kid" in two decades finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
