Okay, thanks.

Does anyone have any information on when Japanese wrestling PPV's started in that country? (I realise that some Japanese shows such as the WCW/NJPW Supershows were on PPV in the States from 1991-1993.) Are they relatively recent in comparison to the US (i.e.: the build tended to be towards big attendances rather than big viewing figures?) How important are they in Japan? Is there a list anywhere of which shows were on PPV and which ones were not? Thanks.

Most original thing I've seen in a US womens match in years.

I could be wrong, but wasn't this an aborted angle WWF was going to do after Savage's "retirement" in '92? The retirement angle was in 1991 as he returned to wrestle Jake Roberts on PPV at This Tuesday in Texas, but yes - he wrestled a few matches under a mask as Mr. Madness in the run-up to that PPV.

I started watching during the World of Sport days on British TV in the early 80's (most of which was terrible.) I began watching WWF a few years later (rather bizarrely in Switzerland.) Randy Savage was a legend to me back then.

IIRC, Snow was backstage at the tapings, but he wasn't used. Nothing since the PPV. On the recent Wrestling Observer Radio, Foley said that they had some ideas for Al Snow but they fell through.

Certainly one of the better Mark Henry matches I've seen.

Word.

Jericho? Interesting.

There's a guy 3 or 4 rows back in the crows who is literally asleep!

This show's gonna run late, isn't it?

The whole concept of successfully defending your title and getting a new title reign added on is fucking stupid.

Edge waiting up on the ladder kinda sucks here.

I guess there's a chance they might go outside of the cell, since they haven't done that since HHH vs Y2J at Judgment Day '02. Called it.
