I was surprised at how few times Johnny Attitude jobbed to Goldberg; guess it just took too much time out of his busy scheduling jobbing to TV Title contenders.

Gotta love the line about Sunny's 'natural assets,' especially since this is 1996.

Forget PDF, I'll just post it as a DOC: http://www.geocities.com/starrcadesite/streak.doc Additions, deletions, comments welcome.

I'm currently working on creating a COMPLETE listing of Goldberg's matches during his legendary winning streak from 9/22/97 to 12/27/98. While there are several lists out there, I've found in my research that none of them are by any means comprehensive. I've used many resources to compile a complete listing of Goldberg's matches, including all house show matches, dark matches, and rare televised matches (i.e. Worldwide). I'll be posting it in PDF format later today, so keep an eye out!

Amen to that. You know that image is going to everyone's avatar after Thursday's broadcast.

And one of my best friends works for Pro Wrestling Iron, and I've got the NWA president's home number on my cell phone. So? Wasn't meaning to brag; just trying to explain to someone that I'm not BSing.

IRON MAN?!? Dios mio.

+1 for using the Diva Search to shill for Alter Bridge's 'Open Your Eyes.'

I assume those are the boards for Capitals games. And they're 'boards,' JR, not 'walls.'

Fixed it; sorry, guys.

My thoughts exactly... Will the kiddies even know who Rush is? I know I don't. I was about to ask was I the only one, of what I heard thought that for PPV theme was completely crap..but evidently I'm the only one. One of Canada's greatest rock bands, Rush celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Discography of the legends,

Here's the thing, though: the last time someone got killed by a "wrestling manuever" in America (the kid in Florida who was unsupervised by his legal guardian, who proceeded to beat ths shit out of a little girl), there was a huge media uproar here, even speculation that pro wrestling should be taken off TV. First of all, the kid was 8. Second of all, the 'wrestling defense' was later admitted to be a fraud and an attempt to draw publicity for the case. The attack was not inspired by wrestling, as the child himself later admitted.

No. That didn't start until after the Invasion PPV and everything got fucked up to hell. After Vince bought WCW but prior to pulling the trigger on the angle (during the period where Shane was talking about how WCW would be coming Real Soon Now), WWF asked Viacom for a timeslow for a show and was denied. After this, they considered giving WCW the Raw timeslot and this was quite widely reported out there, until it became obvious crowds were not going to approve of this roster. Then the WCW Raw idea was scrapped, and the Excess time slot appeared, after the Invasion had already started. Why were they planning to tape Nitro on the dates I mentioned and air it Saturday nights from 11-1 if that slot wasn't available? You can look in Google Groups (look for old Ross Reports) and see that that was their plan, so it's pretty clear that Excess was made to replace the WCW Nitro series that never happened.

Would've needed some fancy booking to explain how Shane could steal Vince's Thursday night spot. Remember, people: the company couldn't get any more TV time during the Invasion. They tried, but it turned out the XFL completely jinxed this. WWF Excess. That show was going to be WCW's show; in fact, that's why WWE trademarked 'WCW Saturday Nitro' (you can look it up). It was going to be on from 11-1am on TNN In fact, the first edition of Nitro was first booked for May 9 in Trenton, NJ, then June 13 in Fairfax, VA, then it was never really brought up again (except as a possible replacement for SD! after the live shows in mid-August). -------------- Oh, and Mike Awesome was NOT brought in post-Invasion; in fact, he was the first Alliance member to win a WWF title (Hardcore Title in MSG the night after KOTR).

Suicidal Youth (XBW): trained by NWA Wisconsin most of EWW: trained by NWA Ireland Black Tiger of UWA: wrestled Donovan Morgan, has met NWA President backstage at a show he worked. Question my integrity, you get pwn3d.
-
XPW had graduates? Well, one of BWA's guys was trained by an XPW wrestler, so that's what I meant.
-
FUN FACT: That video got pulled from MTV due to rights issues involving using Freddy's likeness.

Exactly. I'm wondering if they couldn't just have had Shane come out on RAW in 6/01, say "I'm starting WCW (insert name of show and time here)" and heel Vince could be like "You're fucking dumb. I'm so sure that nobody will care about WCW, if ANY WWF stars want to leave and work for this guy, then go." Have a couple big WWF names join WCW, then the 2 companies work like RAW and SD! today. In this plan, the 2 companies would be totally separate in storylines (except for ads during each others commercial breaks). Instead, you take 20 guys with years of character development and make them into heels with their motivation being that they WANT to GET PAID. WTF?

Well, you've got to remember that the average backyard wrestler is between 15 and 20, so having the $$ to get trained (or drive/get driven to a trainer), so that's another factor as to why people don't get trained.
