Actually Brunzell was on Warrior's team. The Killer Bees wrestled their last match in September before splitting and working singles (which meant doing jobs for Terry Taylor, Curt Hennig, and the like). On a side note, Blair was a substitute for the Junkyard Dog and Brunzell was a sub for Don Muraco. JYD and Muraco were both fired in October for their behavior during a tour of Europe.

This is a variation on the one that first popped up a few weeks back, simply the PPV logo on a Roman coliseum backdrop. Stephanie looks like a demon in that photo.

Because that's not stalkerish at all. Yeah ... I'm the only one that does this...

Their new RF shoot. A poster on The History of WWE message board uploaded this for our own personal enjoyment Dec. 29. Between then and now it's received 68,000 hits. Today it got plugs on both PWInsider and the Observer website.

Downhome and Haws bah gawd - I've got both days off of work so if you guys want to meet up - that's cool. Just drop me a note. Charlotte is 40 miles one way, Greenville is about the same in the opposite direction. What I'd like to do is get to the arena early enough to meet talent as they're coming in. Either that or find out what hotel they're using.

I have a ticket for the Raw in Charlotte and Smackdown in Greenville, SC in three week's time, just before the Rumble. I wanted to see if there were any members on here that going that wanted to meet up before the show. The dark match for Charlotte is advertised as Cena & Flair vs. HHH & Angle. No clue on what's planned for Greenville.

Today was "Spend your Best Buy gift cards" day. - The WrestleMania 1-21 DVD set - Rob Van Dam: One of a Kind - The Eddie Guerrero Story - News Radio: Season 1

Thanks for that, I appreciate it.

Kennedy worked dark matches, Jakked, Velocity, etc. off and on for several years. I would say back to at least 2002. A quote from his old website: Kamikaze Ken is currently enjoying wrestling in the midwest independent circuit and has been contacted several times by the WWE. He has appeared on Smackdown as an extra, twice on Jakked. Once against Essa Rios, and again with Skullkrusher vs Chuck Palumbo and Billy Gunn. He has also had a dark match against Scot Vick. (formerly Sick Boy from WCW). http://www.geocities.com/kamikazekenanderson/

I smell a feud with the Undertaker!

I sometimes like to check out the prelim matches from recent years and see just how far the relative unknowns have come since their squash match on Velocity or Jakked. Here's a mix of dark matches and prelims dating back to 2000 involving talent that have gone from no names to stars. Some pretty interesting matches. WWF @ Anaheim, CA - Arrowhead Pond - October 9, 2000 Dark Match at Raw taping: K-Krush (Ron Killings) pinned Christopher Daniels WWF @ Indianapolis, IN - Conseco Fieldhouse - November 14, 2000 Dark Match at Smackdown taping: Shelton Benjamin pinned Rob Conway WWF @ Memphis, TN - Pyramid - December 11, 2000 Dark Match at Raw taping: Spanky pinned American Dragon WWF @ Phoenix, AZ - America West Arena - February 26, 2001 Jakked: Essa Rios defeated Samoa Joe WWF @ Cincinnati, OH - May 14, 2001 (12,022) Dark Matches during Raw Taping: Nick Dinsmore vs. Leviathan (Batista) Rico Constantino vs. Randy Orton WWF @ San Jose, CA - May 21, 2001 Jakked: WWF Light Heavyweight Champion Jerry Lynn pinned Christopher Daniels with the tornado DDT at 4:36 WWF @ Tacoma, WA - Tacoma Dome - July 3, 2001 Dark Match during Smackdown taping: Essa Rios pinned Christopher Daniels at 4:18 with a moonsault WWF @ Memphis, TN - Pyramid - September 18, 2001 (11,345) Dark Matches during Smackdown taping: The Island Boys (3 Minute Warning) defeated Charlie & Russ Haas after Ekmo hit a top rope splash Justin Credible pinned Kid Kash with the superkick WWF @ Kansas City, MO - Kemper Arena - October 22, 2001 Dark Matches during Raw taping: Chuck Palumbo pinned Randy Orton with the superkick Billy Gunn pinned Brock Lesnar with the Fameasser WWF @ Wichita, KS - November 27, 2001 Dark Match during Smackdown taping: Brock Lesnar pinned Randy Orton with a powerslam WWF @ Greenville, SC - Bi-Lo Center - January 21, 2002 (9,420) Jakked: The Hurricane (w/ Molly Holly) pinned AJ Styles with the Vertebreaker at 4:36 after Styles missed a Shooting Star Press WWF @ Jonesboro, AR - Convocation Center - February 11, 2002 Dark Match during Raw taping: Shelton Benjamin defeated Leviathan (Batista) WWF @ Little Rock, AR - Alltel Arena - February 12, 2002 Dark Match during Smackdown taping: Leviathan defeated Randy Orton WWF @ Chicago, IL - AllState Arena - February 18, 2002 (13,967) Dark Match during Raw taping: WWF Tag Team Champions Tazz & Spike Dudley defeated Brock Lesnar & Leviathan WWE @ Oakland, CA - Arena - June 17, 2002 Dark Match during Raw taping: Shelton Benjamin defeated Prototype (John Cena) WWE @ Minneapolis, MN - Target Center - September 10, 2002 Dark Matches during Smackdown taping: Val Venis defeated Horace Hogan via submission with an inverted figure-4 Mark Jindrak & Lenny Lane defeated Bull Buchanon & Doug Basham WWE @ Cincinnati, OH - November 11, 2002 Dark Matches during Raw taping: Nathan Jones defeated Rob Conway Charlie Haas & Lance Cade defeated Chris Kanyon & Damaja (Danny Basham) when Haas forced Kanyon to submit to a leglock WWE @ East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena - January 12, 2003 Dark Match during Smackdown taping: Nova (Simon Dean) defeated Aaron Stevens (who be on TV soon) WWE @ St. Louis, MO - Savvis Center - August 12, 2003 Velocity: Sean O'Haire pinned Ken Anderson (Ken Kennedy) at 3:49 WWE @ Detroit, MI - Joe Louis Arena - August 19, 2003 Velocity: Chuck Palumbo & Johnny Stamboli defeated Eric Young & Bobby Roode when Palumbo pinned Young with the Jungle Kick to the back of the head WWE @ Raleigh, NC - RBC Center - September 16, 2003 Velocity: Matt Hardy pinned Joey Matthews (Mercury) with the Twist of Fate WWE @ Chicago, IL - Allstate Arena - September 29, 2003 Sunday Night Heat: Rodney Mack pinned Ken Anderson (Kennedy) with a spinebuster Tommy Dreamer pinned Sheik Shawn Daivari with the DDT WWE @ Long Island, NY - Nassau Coliseum - January 12, 2004 (6,100) Dark Match during Raw taping: Lance Storm & Val Venis defeated Travis Tomko & Kevin Fertig (Mordecai) following the Hart Attack WWE @ Houston, TX - August 3, 2004 Dark Match during Smackdown taping: Sho Funaki pinned Carly (Carlito) Colon with a roll up WWE @ Charlotte, NC - December 6, 2004 (4,000) Dark Match at Raw taping: Chris Masters pinned CW Anderson with a fisherman's suplex

????? Yep, it's the same Shamrock.

You're right, that's a fantastic shot. I totally forgot about it.

Here's a pretty good Taker "My Sacrifice" video. While there are plenty of quality fan made clips, I'm just sticking with stuff that aired on TV. xhttp://s60.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=21OFBF29ZI0GA0NUQXAI8PJU8R

I'll upload the ones I have and post links later.

I posted this on my board but wanted to hear your opinions as well. I think the WWF/E production team should certainly be commended for the number of great video packages and music videos produced over the past 6 years. Out of all of the various tribute videos, what would you say was your favorite? "Hurt" by Johnny Cash - Eddie Guerrero "One Thing" by Finger Eleven - Chris Benoit "Clocks" by Coldplay - Kurt Angle "My Sacrifice" by Creed - WWF 2001 "Not Enough" by Our Lady Peace - Jeff Hardy "Beautiful Day" by U2 - Triple H "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down - Eddie Guerrero "Lonely Road of Faith" by Kid Rock - WWF History 2002 "I Will Remember You" by Sarah McLachlan - Mick Foley "So Far Away" by Staind - Mick Foley "My Immortal" by Evanescence - Freddie Blassie The various Creed / Scott Stapp songs / "Right Here" by Staind - Middle East Tours ... And I'm sure I'm forgetting several. Some might remember that Sunday Night Heat, back in 99 and 2000, would have weekly recap music videos. There was one in particular that I thought was great - "Yeah Yeah Yeah" by Uncle Cracker, from the "Shanghai Noon" soundtrack. Various clips from KOTR 2000 / Raw / Smackdown with the chorus line of "I don't know why I come here, but I know I'll never leave, it's the only place I want to be, yeah, yeah, yeah" Thought it worked well for giving the perspective of a wrestling fan.

How hard to find is an original copy of this show? I only ask because Amazon has no DVD copies and - last I checked - only one VHS (which I ordered yesterday).

When was that? PA was a little outside their core territory.

Miami Vice Superman Returns X3

The Saturday Night immediately after Slamboree 95 consisted of a show held in this fashion - during the rain - with Paul Orndorff winning a TV title shot by defeating Brian Pillman in the finals of a 4-man tournament. He cashed in on the title shot at Bash at the Beach that summer. Newly crowned tag team champions the Nasty Boys also appeared at the show.

Mulligan dominated a number of house show bunkhouse battle royals in late 86 / early 87, most notably by eliminating King Kong Bundy during a Boston Garden show. He also had a babyface run throughout 84 and 85, just not very high profile.
