That chinese dude (Charlie Minn) is now a sportscaster on our local Action News . . . yes, it's actually called Action News . . . and no, April O'Neil is not the lead news anchor.

The WWF did a marketing survey in late 1995, asking fans which person in the WWF would you most like to get powerbombed, and Didinsky came first. Shortly after, he was fired. Too bad they didn't have Diesel powerbomb him on his way out. Could have only helped Nash's popularity at the time.

I hated Barry Didinsky . . . or however you spell that douchebag's name

Uh oh, guess that means the Midnight Wars in Cleveland will be starting up . . . WWE's Bottom Line vs. TNA's Impact

Jacob Blu? Personally, I would prefer Eli's autograph. I'll take Uncle Zebechiah for $200 Alex.

Molly is still negotiating?

If he wasn't such a flake then Randy Savage. As it is, Ric Flair.

The Premier of Assault on Devil's Island wasn't much better either, I feel sorry for the people who watched that just to see a quick Sting/Hogan contract signing. On the bright side, Shannon Tweed was in it.

The Premiere of Adventures of Robin Hood

That's a nice list. I think Steamboat vs. Austin from Clash of Champions 8/94 should be added as Steaboat FINALLY triumphed over Austin in an awesome match which would unfortunately be his last in a brilliant career. With all those CW matches you have at the end, I think the 10-Man Cruiserweight Countdown Match has to be added that took place on Thunder leading up to SuperBrawl Revenge. It was Shane Helms vs. Shannon Moore vs. Evan Kourageous vs. Jamie Knoble vs. Billy Kidman vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Yang (Akio) vs. Kaz Hayashi vs. Lash Leroux vs. Elix Skipper The rules were just like the match at WMXX except the wrestlers came from the back and not from just outside the ring. The CW Countdown ran a lot longer and was much finer than the WMXX match. It was a 20ish minute breath of fresh air and would be one of the last of its kind as WCW was bought out soon after as the Cruiserweight Division as we know it died. Quite honestly, I'm not sure why Mortis & Wrath Vs. Ernest Miller & Glacier is on it. Must be better than I originally remembered.

I know one can hear crickets in this forum but I went ahead and edited the list to reflect tapes that are gone and tapes that are added in. The most notable addition is probably - UFC 1: The Beginning (Commercial Master w/ original box)

I have 2 Shawn Michaels CVs and that match is on neither. It is on Slamfest 95 (Other matches are Luger/Diesel, Kid/Yoko, and a couple others, just a 60min quickie).

But Kurt Angle was. Wrap your mind around that one and your head will explode.

Except then they'd be spitting in the faces of the fans who are still willing to buy tickets to house shows. Not that WWE wouldn't do it anyway, but it's a bad idea to begin with. Wouldn't that make house show attendance go up a bit in the hopes of actually seeing a title change? When I say spin it, I meant in reality you have Cena get bopped in the head w/ the belt but the announcers can scream Bloody Murder and how Heel X stopped at NOTHING to win the championship . . . not necessarily lying but a grose exaggeration.

If they really want to protect Cena, they can have him drop the belt at a house show to whomever. That way, WWE can spin it (not the belt) any way they want and the fans would have to accept it since 99% never saw the change.

You may be right but you may be mixing in the tournament for a #1 Contender leading to Backlash 2003 which Cena won.

We'll discuss here.

Heyman will be lucky to be on the writing committee for the show . . . he'll probably be out of a job by then.

^^^ He'll squash RhYno in a ECW/World Title Unification Match after a 2 week mini feud on Raw on the level of Undertaker/Tommy Dreamer '02. And the sad thing about Steph being threatened by Heyman is that it's strictly an ego/power thing. Mostly in the real world, when someone feels that their job is threatened, it's due to the potential of having to take a position w/ less money. Obviously, that's not the case w/ Steffy at all. Makes me sick.

That's sadder than the reason I thought it was . . . they didn't feel like it.

Totally agreed S_D. Just leave ECW alone unless Heyman gets 100% control of the content of the show even if he has to use WWE contracted guys that were in ECW at some point and maybe a few other guys like London, Akio, ect. Sometimes I think Vince does indeed 'get' what the fans really want but he is polluted by what his family thinks is best. And deep down, he would really rather please them than the fans.

Who the fuck is Steph to say who will be on the ECW ppv?

Eh, I'll always have a soft spot for WM2 since it was the only wrestling tape our video store had to rent for years. It was an interesting concept but only gave the fans a 1hr live show before having to watch the rest on a big screen . . . of course most of the fans that go to a Raw show nowadays have to endure the same thing. The Tag Title match was excellent. The Funks/JYD/Tito tag match was quality. I enjoyed the battle royal as it used the NFL players about as well as you can w/o the wrestlers looking incompetent . . . aside from the Fridge/Studd scenario, but that doesn't bother me in the slightest since it wasn't as if it made Studd look weak or anything. The boxing match was entertaining and I would say the same for the I-C Title match if not for the fact that they did the same match for almost 2 years. The cage match was about as good as it could be considering the participants.

I don't see the "Over the Top--Off w/ the Top Match" (aka Holiday Topless Over the Top Match).

I'd love to read them.
