I believe Gorgeous George is the answer but this thread on KM might shed some light on others - http://pub138.ezboard.com/fkayfabememories...icID=5295.topic

I would bet money on that being it. The Rumble has a long tradition of putting a hoss in at #30 and then hyping his chances of victory before he's quickly tossed out after a matter of minutes.

Holy Shit, I was six years off. I wonder why she didn't last enough to be on TV, it's not like she would refuse to sleep with anyone. It might say in her book. I never bought it, just skimmed through it a few times while at Barnes & Noble. I remember her saying she and Eddie Gilbert (her then-husband) were upset it wasn't a package deal with him getting a contract as well. About 5 years prior, he did a stint in the WWF working with other young talent such as Curt Hennig.

February,Superbrawl 3. IIRC, the R 'n' R's worked a few WCW TV matches prior to that PPV. The interpromotional match was hyped up pretty well, much better than the rematch at the Survivor Series that November.

Sunny didn't work for the WWF until she came in with Chris Candido in early 95. Prior to that point, and around this time, she was in Smokey Mountain. She didn't go by her real name and wasn't used on TV prior to the Body Donnas gimmick. Missy was in and out of the WWF before anyone noticed back in 1987.

Who got the better end of that one? Probably Anaheim, if only for the surprise appearance of the Rock.

Probably the same chick that interviewed HBK & Diesel on Superstars after they punked the 1-2-3 Kid in the aisleway. For the longest time I thought it was Mike McGuirk but I guess not.

He's a lowlife. About 3 years ago I got into some minor trouble with the WWE (it's called overpromoting your illegal tape selling and trading). Anyway, he and I had been working together on bringing in a bulk shipment of WWF TV tapes from another guy and I kindly asked that he hold my $40 worth of tapes until the situation blew over. Well when I asked for some help in getting my History of the WWE site off the ground in terms of info from his tapes - making it clear that I knew he still owed me $40 in one form or another - he made a big deal about how it was me who told him to keep the videos. I didn't get squat in return. I'm not one to report copyright abuse but if I had to pick one person to report it would definately be him.

Yeah, I'm having bandwidth / credit card issues with Angelfire. I called them yesterday but they said it might be a few more days before the problem is fixed. Sorry about that.

It was a prosthetic arm. That show didn't 'promote' the feud, it started it. It was because of that attack that Crush missed the 93 Rumble and as a result they had the match at WrestleMania.

As someone who is currently going after a journalism degree, I can say it certainly helps but it isn't necessarily required if you're looking to enter that profession.

1. Don't believe so 2. Yes ... it was stupid and forgettable. Basically consisted of Lawler hitting Drose over the head with his trash can one week ... then a few weeks later, Drose did the same and was fined for his actions.

I'm thinking those were the promos for Doink just prior to WrestleMania IX.

Savage appeared on WCW Saturday Night a few weeks before Starrcade 94 (taped in early December). I remember watching it and being pretty shocked ... also my interest in the PPV increased somewhat since Savage said he would be in Nashville and would either shake Hogan's hand or slap him in the face. I don't recall if he had any on-screen dealings with Sullivan, the Butcher, and Avalanche at that particular SN. He certainly didn't appear with Hogan until the PPV. He started working house shows right after Starrcade against the Faces of Fear. The match with Arn Anderson was after Arn won the TV title (mid to late January 95). Savage pinned Anderson right after the 15-minute mark - thus no title change (the title was only on the line for the first 15 minutes). The match with Austin was in May 95 and was a quarter final match in the US title tourney ... also, I believe it was Austin's last TV match in WCW.

He unoficially made both Bret and HBK tap out in singles matches shortly before the Survivor Series. Then the day after the PPV, HBK involved himself in a match Shamrock had with Triple H.

The only reason Bret dropped the belt was because his contract was about up and Vince didn't want to risk Bret showing up on WCW TV with the IC title much like Flair had done months earlier, coming in with the WCW World Title around his waist on WWF TV. The fever was kayfabed. Steiners received no video buildup, just a promo that they would debut the following week and they were verbally built up by the commentators. Kona Crush was around for several months before he admitted he was from Hawaii. He didn't do so until the 9/14/92 episode of Prime Time. Bret was no stranger to working singles matches and had done so off and on for several years prior to 91 ... so no explanation was needed. Neidhart went into semi-retirement and did commentary on Wrestling Challenge while Bret went on as a singles.
