After he started hanging with Shawn. It was Shawn's nickname for him. So I'm guessing ... Steptember / October 97.

I liked the first show. It had the same intrigue as Rumble 92, and I even thought Flair was going to win. The rest all have at least a few good things to check out. Eddie / Rey ... Ultimo / Rey ... but 98 totally blew.

Why?

I got back from the weekend-long Mid-Atlantic Fan Fest in Charlotte, NC last night and wow ... what an experience. I don't have the time to go into everything now but just wanted to hit a few key points. - Rob Feinstein from RF Video was there shilling his tapes as well as Scott Teal (author of the History of MSG book, Whatever Happened To?, and Ole Anderson's new book). - Both Jim Cornette and Ole had late night Q & A sessions Saturday for the fans with VIP tickets. Ole didn't come across as bitter, as he's been described since the book came out, but he was set in his ways. Cornette's session was gold and, even though it started at 10pm (and I woke up that morning at 2:30 to get ready to drive down), it was impossible to not be entertained by his giving views on Bischoff, Russo, Vince, Montreal, and road stories (including a classic about a SMW trip to Dairy Queen). The session was joined by Bobby Eaton, referee Tommy Young, Les Thatcher, and a surprise cameo by JJ Dillon. Oh yeah, and some unruly ICP fans showed up as well before Cornette told them off and had them kicked out. That scene was incredible in itself. - Legends on hand for autograph signings included JJ, Cornette, Eaton, Ivan Koloff, Blanchard, Ole, Arn, Steamboat, Ron & Jimmy Garvin, the R'n'R Express, David Crockett, Bob Caudle, Les Thatcher, Dusty, Tony Atlas, Jimmy Valiant, Larry Zbyszko, Sensational Sherri, Buddy Landel (who was drunk ... LONG story there), Greg Valentine, the Masked Superstar (Demolition Ax), Dory Funk Jr., and many many others. The only major name missing, IMO, was Ric Flair who was at a wrestling meet for his son (hope he doesn't get fired again). - I brought along printed results from my WWF site running from 1963-91 (my ink ran out; I would have gone further) to get signed by the guys. Several of them were impressed including Supestar and Atlas. I had JJ sign next to the single MSG card he worked in 84 - which he took an interest in and even asked for a photocopy since he forgot who all was there. I gave him my web address. - Aside from the guys (and ladies) that signed the record book, I also brought along two Crockett video covers - Starrcade 86 and Crockett Cup 87. Starrcade ended up being signed by Bob Caudle, David Crockett, Dusty, Tully, Ole, the Rock 'n' Roll Express, Cornette (who got a kick out of it as he blew out his knees at the show), and Eaton. I had Magnum TA sign the Crockett Cup tape as it featured a retrospective on his career (he can't use his right hand at all, which I was unaware of). - There were vendors all around the bottom floor of the Charlotte Hilton, selling t-shirts, figures, videos (including bootlegs, NWA footage, and WWF footage that McMahon would have flipped over had he known about it), posters, 8x10s, books, and more. It was overwhelming. I took plenty of pictures that I'll post soon enough. Just wanted to give a quick recap of the event and urge all of you guys to look into going next year - the $100 VIP ticket was more than worth the price. I'll be back later with more details on the convention.

Back when Regal dominated the WCW TV belt in 93-94, I saw Mark Starr take Regal to a time-limit draw. For a jobber, that was a big deal and I always expected Starr to eventually take the belt or at least continue the success he had there. Other than that, and I know he wasn't always a jobber but he was when I started watching, I'd go with Jim Powers. Always thought he had a good look and could work off both speed and power.

Hey that wouldn't be such a bad thing cause that would mean the return of your friend and mine: Dirk Benedict. He could be the guest ref in the main event. Yes, please! Bring in Murdoch too ... ah hell ... let's see Mr. T while we're at it!

Time out. That match kinda blew. If you want to mention Benoit in a great ladder match, try Starrcade 99 vs. Jarrett.

Despite all this, I still have to believe Chris Benoit is walking out with the title. If Benoit won a half-assed battle royal 3 weeks before WrestleMania then sure, I would pick Triple H to retain but they've been hyping Benoit since October ... he made Brock tap at Survivor Series ... and he currently holds the all-time record in the Royal Rumble. I don't like the triple threat idea ... I don't like triple threat matches in general ... but it doesn't make sense for either Triple H or Shawn to win. WrestleMania is about looking to the future - it always has been. Each and every year, save one or two, it has featured the "changing of the guard" so to speak - where the previous year's top dog passes the torch to the next big thing. It happened to Savage, Warrior, Bret, Shawn, Taker, Austin, and Brock. If Shawn wins, it's a step backwards. If Triple H wins, the company stands still. If Benoit wins, it's a step in the right direction. I think it ultimately comes down to where the Raw Title match is booked on the card. If it's halfway through the show (which I don't think will be the case), then I could see a screwjob. However, if it's the final match of the card, Benoit is a sure bet. I'm an optimist but I can't predict how this is going to turn out.

Actually, attendance and ratings started to tank without Hogan as champ. It was so bad, in fact, that there was talk of putting the belt on Rude at Summer Slam so he could act as the transitional champion for Hulk.

Did we forget Dusty's run in the late 70s / early 80s? Apparently so. Actually, outside of working MSG, did Dusty ever appear on W(W)WF TV before coming in in 1989? I know he made quite a few appearances at MSG before the WWF left the NWA for good in 1983, but who outside of tape collectors and MSG regulars would remember that? Dusty worked the entire territory while feuding with Superstar in the late 70s, more than just MSG. I don't know if he worked the Hamburg and Allentown TV tapings but he was pushed pretty strong at the time and came close on more than one occasion to taking the title.

Did we forget Dusty's run in the late 70s / early 80s? Apparently so.

Did I just hear Randy Orton compare himself to Ringo Starr of the Beatles? Wow ... he's accurate on so many levels.

I really wanted to go to the HOF but no way am I paying $200 to get in - especially when that's basically the same price I paid for my Mania ticket.

That's the problem with quoting results posted on websites - they're often inaccurate. If this is the same match featured on Crockett Cup 87 in Magnum's career retrospective (which I believe it is), Magnum got the pin IIRC. It's concievable Bash 85 consisted of more than one show - it's just that the Charlotte event is the only one listed wherever this info came from.

The second of the two long ass quotes is from me. You might also check out the Mid-Atlantic thread I started in this folder when I got back from the convention - it's got more detail as to what went on as well as photos from the event.

I picked up a few things; couldn't quite afford the more rare items for sale. Over at one table, there was an assortment of compilation tapes from around the world - best of Superstar Billy Graham, the Bulldogs, Hollywood Blondes, Backlund, etc all caught my eye. There was even a recording from one of the WWE shows held in Japan shortly before WrestleMania X-8. In the hallway, there were several WCW pay-per-view posters for sale - Bash 91 (with Luger vs. Flair advertised), SuperBrawl 1, Music City Showdown, Starrcade 88, Beach Blast 92, Starrcade 92: Battlebowl, etc. They were plenty big but a little ragged around the edges and the asking price was $50 so - as nice as they were to look at - I passed. I ended up getting Souled Out 2000 for $6 (had to see Benoit win the title) and some newsletters for $10. The vendor I bought both from ended up giving me another $15 in newspaper clippings and PWI Weeklies since he was such a big fan of my site. There were plenty of action figures, loose and carded, and as I said before RF Video was there so they had a huge selection of shoots and compilations. Highspots.com was also in attendance but their better tapes were gone by Sunday; they had a 3 for $20 sale on most selections.

Everything during the weekend started late, and that actually began with Saturday morning's registration. So Cornette was supposed to start at 10pm but didn't get up there until 10:30 (Ole's started late which was the reason why). So he was there until about 1 if not a little past. I didn't get to bed until 3am. Steamboat was there but I totally missed him. Being that I woke up at 2:30am Saturday morning to drive down to Charlotte and didn't get to bed until 3am, I ended up sleeping late and missed my chance to go through the line. I caught everyone else in the VIP room but Steamboat never went in.

Here are some of the better shots I took from the weekend. Crowd Shot Dory Funk Jr., Sir Oliver Humperdink, and more sign autographs Bobby Fulton of the Fantastics Jim Cornette half posing / half caught offguard with a mouth full of soda Bill Apter begins Ole Anderson's Q&A Don Kernodle says hi to Ole as Scott Teal and Apter look on Teal, Ole, and Apter Jim Cornette's Q&A begins Bobby Eaton, Les Thatcher, and Tommy Young JJ Dillon joins the panel JJ finds a chair Bill Apter about to do his Dusty Rhodes impression Cornette and Eaton confront the disruptive ICP fans The ICP fans Larry Zbyszko signs autographs while Sensational Sherri does the same (she's blocked)

The two big stories coming out of the legends convention were the late night sessions and the Buddy Landel situation. I'll start with Buddy. Buddy was the last to be introduced for his panel and was booed by the fans in attendance, simply for the fact he used the name 'Nature Boy'. It was all in good fun, though. However, once the lines started moving and the signatures were made, Buddy started becoming a bit ... loud. He was singing and being a bit obnoxious, but I didn't realize until I got closer and saw his half-empty bottle of beer that he was drunk. Arn Anderson, who was on the same panel, took exception to Buddy's behavior and repeatedly told the security staff to shut him up (they were on opposite ends of the table). I don't know if that was what Arn was talking about when I got up there but whatever the case, he was anything but super happy when I shook his hand. When I moved down to Buddy, he got up and left for no apparent reason. So I stood there a moment, puzzled, and followed him off the stage. Moments later, I found some friends chatting with Buddy upstairs in the bar. At one point, Buddy pointed to a female nearby and said (and I quote) "Her ... whore" while making fisting motions with his hand (not punching motions, fisting as in sexually). There are few things funnier than hanging around a drunk wrestler. He did eventually sign the program for me but did so by putting an "i" in his name (I can only assume it was an "i" since it was dotted). Later on, there were rumors that he got into a fight with either a fan or a cop. It turned out to be a disgruntled husband after hearing Buddy made some disparaging remarks about his wife. Not sure what the consequences of that incident were but he obviously wasn't around for Sunday's festivities. Now for the late night Q & A's. Ole's came first, at 8pm, and was hosted by famed PWI editor Bill Apter. Scott Teal, the co-author of Ole's book who I met earlier in the day, was also involved and helped with some questions. Ole was asked by those in attendance about his favorite era of his career (no, the Horsemen were very much not it ... he went with his tag team days with Gene), his relationship with the original Horsemen (doesn't talk to them much for various reasons), what he thinks of the product today (mentioned Kurt Angle but said the guys today with an amateur background can't go like the guys from his day), Black Sunday and his thoughts on the Briscos selling their stock to Vince, being the voice of the Black Scorpion, and working with Eric Bischoff and Jim Herd while in WCW (obviously not a fan of either man), among other things. Ole's hearing is really bad so Teal had to help out a bit. Afterwards, he stuck around to sign copies of his book. After a short break, giving me time to head up to my room and throw water in my face to wake up, Jim Cornette's segment began and ran from about 10:30 to nearly 1am. Sitting directly in front of me, and I didn't even realize it for a few minutes, were Sensational Sherri and Bambi (sadly, I have to report that Sherri was wearing a wig while at the convention earlier in the day ... her hair is only to her shoulders but still looks good). Cornette immediately woke the crowd up and asked our permission to cuss ... which he did quite often. Sitting with him was Bobby Eaton and Tommy Young, with Tommy fielding questions from the crowd for Cornette. Cornette was magnetic and answered all types of questions from the crowd - about his first impression of MSG (he didn't appear there until WrestleMania X and the experience left him preferring the Charlotte Coliseum), his thoughts of Vince Russo (Cornette gave him a call after Russo went to WCW and told him what he REALLY thought of him and couldn't say when they were both employed by the WWF ... when Cornette was trying to give him his # for Russo to call back later, Russo hung up on him), and a ton of other topics. Not a personal fan of Paul Heyman due to Heyman lying to both him and his friends - but respects him immensely as a talent. Talked about the fact he no longer flies to shows (mentioned IYH Buried Alive and how there was a horrible storm in NY which cancelled the World Series game ... Cornette drove to Indy and got there before JR, due to Ross being rerouted and having flights cancelled on him). Pretty soon thereafter, Cornette went to the restroom due to having a random nose bleed as a result of medication. So Les Thatcher temporarily took over. When Cornette returned he soon brought JJ Dillon up on the stage (JJ was in the back row and not too many people had noticed him until that point). Cornette spoke about the time in Philadelphia after Arn and Tully left for the WWF and, as a result, the two managers were forced to fight each other in a steel cage match - with JJ getting the credit for making the match passable. JJ spoke about his one spot at MSG in 84 against Tito Santana and how it was always a dream of his to work the Garden. There was one story Cornette told about being in a van full of Smokey Mountain guys (Chris Jericho and Jimmy Del Ray among them) and driving up to a Dairy Queen. After giving a huge order, they got up to the next window where the woman working there was surprised to find out the order was legit and not a prank. Cornette, furious at this point that the food wasn't even prepared, went apeshit on the window and said (and I quote) "LISTEN, YOU STUPID CUNT ....". Jericho responded with, "You know they're going to spit in it now." Apparently one of the guys in the back of the van had a video camera and recorded all of the incident, which eventually got out into the tape market (I'd love a copy). His view on Montreal was that it was Vince's belt and since the belt was never really won, then it couldn't really be lost either - as wrestling is a staged performance. He had nothing bad to say about Vince as Vince had never lied to him (I saw Sherri shaking her head in agreement, so I'm guessing that was her view as well). Said the 1998 NWA invasion was thought of by Russo just to make Cornette look like an ass and, when it started getting over, Russo had everyone doing weely jobs until it turned into a joke. The Brawl for All fight between Holly and Bart Gunn was a sign that it was all over. Be back with more on Cornette later ...

It didn't start as a PPV until 88. Prior to then, it was a summer tour through all the big NWA towns such as Atlanta, Greensboro, Charlotte, etc. The Crockett videos are simply highlights from the tour. All of these were held in Baltimore at the Civic Center / Arena. 1988: NWA World Champion Ric Flair vs. Lex Luger ... the infamous Dusty finish 1989: NWA World Champion Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk ... a great match that was bumped off the Flair DVD in exchange for the I Quit Match 1990: NWA World Champion Ric Flair vs. Sting ... Sting's first world title 1991: Lex Luger vs. Barry Windham (sub. for Ric Flair) ... Steel Cage Match for the vacant NWA World Title ... took place days after Flair left for the WWF and was a horrible show that featured the crowd almost rioting as they chanted "We Want Flair" throughout the card

Why did Canada hate Shamrock? He just got through dominating a feud against Owen, for one. For two, he had gained a reputation for being an ass to fans - and that story had already made its rounds in the weeks prior to Breakdown.

Interesting note - While Shawn did not wrestle after the Rumble and before WrestleMania, he did get physical on Raw from time to time. In one incident, he hit the superkick (I believe it was on Austin) to close out a broadcast. Immediately after the show, he had to receive a cortizone shot in the back due to all the pain he was in ... just from hitting the superkick.
