Enigma

Tanaka went on to hold the ECW Tag Team Championship twice. Once with Tommy Dreamer and once with Balls Mahoney. And regarding the replacement PPV, I do believe you are thinking of ECW Hardcore Heaven 2000. Balls Mahoney was supposed to face Kintaro Kanemura, but Kanemura didn't make it for whatever reason (since this was so close to the end of ECW, probably a $$$ issue), and Tanaka replaced him, since Tanaka used to be a former championship partner of Mahoney.

I thought it was RVD at first.

Statement from Matt on the photo:

Throw my name in the hat for The Rockers going for the tag titles.

PWInsider reports that Justin Credible & Jason, The World's Sexiest Man have signed on for ECW One Night Stand as well.

I used to have Tanaka's theme on an FMW CD somewhere, but my CD book got stolen a few years ago.

Shawn said he burned all of his old Rockers outfits back in 1995 when him & Marty were on the outs with each other. I am so pissed, I could have gone to RAW tonight. But they were just here in December for Armageddon and I didn't have the cash.

Former ECW World Champion & Tag Team Champion Masato Tanaka announced today in Japan that he had been invited to appear at the 6/12 ECW One Night Stand PPV at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan, New York and will be appearing on the show. Tanaka held the ECW World championship for several days towards the end of 1999, defeating Mike Awesome in Nashville, TN on 12/17, losing the belt back to Awesome in White Plains, New York on 12/23. Tanaka also held the ECW World Tag Team championships with Balls Mahoney and Tommy Dreamer. credit: PWInsider

I want to see an interpromotional match at WM21 with Edge facing Bob Holly. That'll learn him.

He had tons of cow shit shoveled into Vince's office.

Remember when Mark Jindrak was going to join Evolution?

That was awesome when UT beat Brock & Big Show in a Handicap Match 4 times.

Paul Bearer said that the wrestlers backstage pissed and shit in the slop bucket that was dumped on Sunny in that angle with Phineas Godwinn.

Yeah, we talked about this a long time ago.

I never knew Liz was a rat.

In his book he indicates being on the road took a toll with him and Alanah (Val's sister), and then he realized she wasn't "the one". At the same time he talks about meeting the new woman, and having a connection with her. He then decided to get a divorce from Alanah and wound up marrying this new lady, who he then cheats on. From the way it sounded in the book, he was seeing the new lady while still married to Alanah and THEN decided a divorce was necessary because he wanted to be with the new lady. See the pattern? Any bets on when they'll become Adam & Amy Copeland?

Lesnar F5'ing the shark was awesome.

I could see where someone could get a totally warped vision of the business when you win the WCW World Heavyweight Title from Hulk Hogan in your very first official match in professional wrestling.

The fact that it was on a Tuesday and going up against ALCS Game 6 didn't help.

Yes.

What would be awesome is if during the middle of Angle vs. Jannetty, HBK tried a run-in and Jannetty totally turns heel and him & Angle throw HBK through a glass window.

Probably should have been posted in the spoilers thread.

Whoever wrote that initial report is a retard. Angle didn't challenge HBK to a ladder match. And wow, Booker did a Harlem Hangover to Heidenreich?

TLC4 was horrible? Wait, I could have swore it was the RAW Match of the Decade!

Marty returned to WWE in fall 1995 and stayed until fall 1996 doing the New Rockers tag team with Al "Leif Cassidy" Snow. Then he did some random jobber appearances on Nitro until 1998. I do believe Jannetty was in the Cruiserweight Battle Royal at Slamboree 1998.
