I doubt they will edit him from this show because its on TV, its only on commercial releases they have to edit him (although they may not have to now due to the Hall of Fame deal) I have a bad feeling however that this show will be cancelled at the end of the year when Sky's contract runs out with WWE, and this probably will be one of the shows that isn't renewed. Hopefully not though as I look forward to watching it every week now.

just looking through some WCW 1992 PPV/Clash results and noticed a few things Clash 1/92 - Vinnie Vegas (Kevin Nash) & DDP wrestle (haven't been on World Wide yet, Oz was on a few times in 91) Wrestle War 92 (May) - Super Invader (Hercules) wrestling. He didn't waste a lot of time then from leaving the WWF. Also Greg Valentine on this show Also did JYD return? it says that there was a scheduled match for this show as JYD/Ron Simmons vs Cactus Jack/Mr Hughes, but that was changed to Hughes vs Simmons Dean & Joe Malenko are on the June Clash and so is Chris Benoit! Also the Silver Kings and Head Hunters whomever those teams are Shane Douglas, the Barbarian and Jake Roberts are on Halloween Havoc in October Is there anyone else important I have missed? Also was this a one-time match for Benoit or was he on TV shows as well?

in WCW in 1992, did anyone end up co-hosting World Wide Wrestling with Schiavone? This show is currently airing in the UK and last weeks episode was the first of 1992. I have heard Jesse Ventura came in to WCW in 92, but did he host World Wide? Or does Schiavone keep doing it solo? Also were there any big stars who came into WCW in 1992 who I should keep a look out for?

I recently got several tapes of a show called International Wrestling Challenge, which I think aired in various countries, one of which was Australia where I got the tapes from, and also possibly the UK. Basically the format of the show was that it was hosted by Mean Gene and Lord Alfred Hayes in the WWF studios, and normally included 4 completely random matches, which I guess most aired on Prime Time Wrestling also. Anyway, what I want to know is if anyone can help with the location of this show, which includes these 2 matches: Brad Rheingans beat Terry Gibbs (on an episode of International Challenge) Hercules beat Billy Jack Haynes (chain match) (on Even More Unusual Matches video) Gorilla Monsoon & Billy Red Lyons are the commentators The show is from June 1987, because Gorilla talks about the recent aligning of Bobby Heenan and the Islanders (which aired on TV May 31st) in the Rheingans/Gibbs match. The arena seems quite smaller than other venues, and the ring has some red steps which are placed on the arena floor at the middle of the ring apron. I want to say its from June 1 in Kitchener, ONT but I have no idea Also whats the date of this match in Toronto MLG: Cowboy Bob Orton beats Scott Casey This is after the split of Orton and Muraco because Gorilla mentions it during commentary. I asked about this match on Gary Will's Toronto wrestling site and he said he has no Scott Casey matches listed for 1987 in Toronto. But the bout definitely took place because I have it on tape! If anyone could help that would be great, thanks!

I don't remember that but I do remember Bigelow jumping Tatanka backstage and cutting off some of his hair. That's what REALLY started things up. Luna didn't show up with Bam Bam until KOTR 93, IIRC. And Tatanka / Bam Bam started a few weeks prior to that. Bigelow was doing the interview alone, Sherri came out to bitch about Luna, Bigelow was all like "Its my time bitch", Sherri ignored him. Bigelow got in her facce, the interviewer (I want to say it was Ray Rougeau) tried to make him back off, but he grabbed her hair and she fell to her knees. tattanka made the save, and that is probably why he was attacked a few weeks later and had his head shaved. Luna was added with Bigelow to combine the fueds i guess. This incident occured on Superstars during the same week that Mr. Huges beat Jason Knight on Raw. I think Crush main evented Raw that week, but I can't recall On Superstars on 4/24/93, Raymond Rougeau is scheduled to itnerview Bam Bam Bigelow in a special interview on the interview platform. Ray introduces Bam Bam, but Sherri comes running out and starts complaining about what Luna did to her at WrestleMania IX. Bigelow & Sherri eventually end up arguing because this was after all Bigelow's interview. Bigelow grabs Sherri by the hair threatening her, until Tatanka comes out and atatcks Bigelow and dropkicks him off the stage, and then all the refs/officials break them up Then later in the same show, Tatanka is scheduled to have a match against Steve Vega, and is introduced the first time, but no Tatanka. He's then introduced again, and again no Tatanka. Vince then says there is something going on backstage and footage is shown on the video wall of Tatanka knocked out cold on the floor and Bigelow cutting Tatanka's hair. In a Coliseum Video Exclusive match at a Challenge taping Tatanka beats Bigelow by count-out, but then Bigelow atatcks him after the match and cuts more of his hair This is all recapped quite well on the Year in Review 1993 video (although I have heard this wasn't released in the United States) In another bit of interest on Superstars on 7/31/93, a bout was about to happen with Sherri and Luna, which didn't take palce due to interference from Bigelow. I think this is Sherri's final WWF TV appearance

These two matches are from the same WWF Superstars taping in 1991, but I don't know which one. Both matches aired on Prime Time Wrestling PTW - March 2, 1992 - Virgil defeated the Mountie (w/ Jimmy Hart) via disqualification at 7:23 after Mountie used the shock stick as Virgil had the Million $ Dream applied on Hart PTW - March 16, 1992 - Repo Man pinned Jimmy Snuka after Snuka missed a 450 splash off the top rope at 6:49 I want to say these are both from the taping in Wheeling, WV (9/30/91) but I have no idea Thanks, to anyone who can help

LOL, have just worked out where the matches are from. I checked the Bret Hart/Mountie match on Year in Review 1992 and the locations are identical, so both matches are from Amarillo, TX on 1/27/92 I don't know why I said a 450 splash, it was just a plain front somersault by Snuka. I guess he wanted to do a different move in what seems to be his last match at a TV taping until 9/93

i will check the tape back - I am sure he did a 450 splash, it wasn't his regular splash, he did a flip in mid-air - have I got the name wrong? EDIT - Ok it can't be Wheeling then, Virgil doesn't wear the belt to the ring, so the bout is either before he won the belt at SummerSlam or after he lost the belt in November Mel Phillips is the ring announcer if that helps anyone
