BUTT

OK, I just found this from a 2002 interview with The Maestro (AKA Gorgeous George III) http://www.sportsonly.com/nb/8661/bin/201.html

Ugh. 8 minutes of Masters? I'm guessing he didn't show any talent that he's been hiding on Raw, did he?

Maher is one of those guys who I'll often find myself agreeing with (especially when he talks about the media and their "political correctness") but then he'll say something so incredibly fucking stupid that I'll be ashamed to have agreed with him before.

Two quick questions: 1) Was it really Shane Douglas in the FIRST Dos Hombres-Hollywood Blonds match (not the Slamboree one but the non-title match on free TV)? 2) Is it true that Randy Savage bought the rights to the name "Gorgeous George" with the intention of having his brother use it, only to give it to his girlfriend when Lanny's deal fell through?

How did Dark Journey bring down the territory? And "Doc" refers to Steve Williams, right?

MillenniumMan something.

Didn't one of his matches as the Dingo Warrior air on the MSG network?

Did you know there are two accounts that have been on the "Awaiting Authorization" list since last summer?

Just wondering, what was your opinion on Hogan/Warrior? I personally think that Hogan/Rock was actually better than it, even though I didn't think either was good when it came to actual wrestling.

I just watched Hogan/Warrior from WM6 again and I must say, this match was not very good. Why is it praised so much? Is it just due to the memories fans have of the excitement over the "Ultimate Challenge". To me, I saw that the match was comprised mainly of three things: 1) Stalling 2) Restholds 3) Really weak punching and brawling sequences I also thought the finish looked really lame, because Hogan was sitting up after he missed the legdrop and then he seemed to lie down for the Warrior splash, which connected VERY softly but still put Hogan down for three. I think they could have come up with a better finish than that. So why do people like it? I know it had the huge crowd and "big match atmosphere", but that doesn't make a match great, in my opinion. Sure the match had a lot of drama, but that only really works when you're seeing it as it happens, and already knowing that Warrior wins really takes a lot of the "drama" out of it.

It's a joke. Gamespot and IGN already confirmed that.

Jeff Jarrett returned to the "Double J" gimmick the same night Tyson joined DX. Another classic catchphrase which didn't catch on: Shane Douglas - "THAT'S A FACT!! THAT'S A FACT!! THAT'S A FACT!! JAAAAAAACKAAAAAAAAAASSS!!"

Of course, Dinosaurs ended up doing a "special episode" for the finale, where the dinosaurs went extinct because Earl messed with nature and killed some plants, or something like that.

No, he doesn't. WWE owns the name "Ultimate Warrior". He had his name legally changed to "Warrior", so that's what he called himself in WCW.

I think "The Blues" sounds like something off of one of the "Use Your Illusions. On a side note, I just got a DVD of GNR'S Madison Square Garden performance from 2002, the last concert they have performed to date, and the night before the Philly riot I was at. Should be interesting to watch. Did you pay for that? Some GNR website had those videos up for free download a few months ago. It's a great show, but supposedly Axl decided to cancel the tour after hearing one of Howard Stern's producers say it sucked.

Well, he did a good job of dodging the question. But it's been obvious for a while that what he's saying is true. For better or worse, this is an Axl album. If Slash had his way GNR never would have done songs like "November Rain" or Estranged". If people want to hear what Slash's GNR would have sounded like, listen to Slash's Snakepit. I couldn't imagine Slash being big on songs like "The Blues" or "Madagascar".

Here's something I've always wondered: How the fuck did Husker Du's Bob Mould get a job on the WCW booking team?

From what I've read, that Arquette match is pretty good.

Cawthon's site says Moolah wrestled Cowgirl Shalo (which is a God-awful name, by the way) on May 21, so you're probably right.

I personally don't understand why so many people hated that ending. I mean, sure, it was shitty for Hogan to pull a power trip like he did, but think about it: if the show had just ended with Hart or Yoko winning, it would have been the most uneventful WM ever. Hogan winning the belt was totally unexpected, popped the crowd huge, and as a seven-year-old Hogan mark, I personally loved it (although I loved a lot of dumb things back then, but you have to realize that I was in the demographic the WWF was aiming for with Hogan's win, not the "workrate fans"). While it's certainly unsurprising that so many smarks hated the ending, and considering the aftermath it might not have been such a great business move (mainly because Hogan never defended the title at house shows during that run) I don't think WWF was wrong to give Hogan the belt at Wrestlemania 9.

Go here. Then click on "Wrestling". Then click on "Matches, Matches Everywhere". There's no minimum post count required, but if you don't post and just download matches you'll get banned.

Remember though, Goldberg didn't want to work with Jericho. I would have put Goldberg with DDP and Hart and turned the match into a three-way. DDP vs. Hart was no main event, because it had already been done on TV several times before, and when is a US title match a PPV main event anyway?

Are you actually a member? You have to be a member and be logged in to see the board.

By the way, was Goldberg ever supposed to wrestle Luger at World War 3 '98? I remember reading that a while back and that Luger wouldn't job so they cancelled the match. World War 3 '98 has to be the biggest example of how WCW shit on their fans. I mean, not only did the Norton vs. Booker match get cancelled, but Rick Steiner vs. Scott Steiner and Hall vs. Nash were advertised and then neither match took place, and certainly neither match would have been good, but those were the only non-battle royal matches besides DDP-Hart that weren't complete jobber matches. It's mind-boggling that WCW, featuring so many big names and great wrestlers, would put matches like Stevie Ray vs. Konnan and Wrath vs. Glacier on PPV.

Yeah, just like his stint there years later.
