John from Cincinnati Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 He's completely unremarkable in the ring. They'd have coached some of his good instincts out of him. He has personality, but they'd have put it into a certain box. I've said it before, but if he were in WWE he'd be either Miz or EC3. And all the people who love his work now probably feel very differently about him. 2

And Nightclaw And there was more than one Gato Everready, it wasn't always Drago for sure Ernest The Cat Miller probably wasn't mentioned because everyone answering is a disappointment. Two fucking pages for Blue Panther. Seriously. There's also at least one Lucha shitshow unauthorized Hello Kitty. Edited April 2, 2020 by Tromatagon

I know of a few specifically. A lot? I guess that's open to interpretation. I'd definitely making some assumptions here. Edited April 2, 2020 by West Newbury Bad Boy

Not sure if the same person or not (likely not due to age), but wasn't "Pink Panther" the name Justin Gabriel's father used to wrestle in South Africa as well? If so, him too. 1
Spontaneous Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 So I am an idiot and watched Bunkhouse Stampede 1988 after watching Starrcade 1987. I knew nothing about the show and I thought Eaton-N. Koloff and Flair-Hawk would be good. A dull draw, a Larry Zybysko match and average Flair-Hawk match later came the Bunkhouse Stampede, the most Dusty match ever. That show needs a warning label. 2
ReiseReise Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 You're absolutely right about Gabriel's dad, different guys. Meaning there's an Original Pink Panther and Pink Panther II. Also, Rajah Lion (if the second word is meant as the English Lion and not an Indiana word with the same orthography). 1
Robert S Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Yuji Nagata also wrestled a couple of matches as Lion Maru (from the looks of it, a live-action TV character: a samurai who can transform into a lion).

You will never see a more lukewarm reaction than Dusty winning that Bunkhouse Stampede. 1 1
Brian Fowler Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 The good news is the WWF successfully counterprogrammed it, and basically nobody saw the show.

I would love to witness history and see the last gasp leaving the body of Jim Crockett Promotions. When Dusty leaves the ring holding that boot trophy awkwardly under his arm knowing that reaction was tepid at best, you almost expect a doomsday countdown clock to appear in the bottom, right hand corner of the screen. As for the opener of Eaton vs. Nikita....I know that it was thirty two years ago but that match may be still going on.
odessasteps Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 That clock likely began its countdown 2 months earlier at Starrcade 87 in Chicago when it was a) moved out Crockett territory, b) saw the a Warriors not win the belt in their “hometown” c) up against the Survivor Series on PpV. 2

All that hurt but the fact you could only see it in a select number of cities on PPV was the stunning blow.
