LessonInMachismo

I don't see the point...are you saying that these "lost" matches are the ones where he took on guys who could carry him? If so, then it doesn't prove that he was good in the ring, but only that he could put on good matches with guys who could carry him. <<Nobody has ever called Bruno a good worker. I have no reason to expect he has 5 star classics hidden away where nobody can see him. Honestly, fuck Bruno Sammartino. The biz doesn't need more bitter has-beens. He makes Bret Hart look well-adjusted.>> Word to the herd.

Reading this in Cornette's voice makes it even better.

Gotta love prowrestlinghistory.com.

Didn't they even do a PPV in California? EDIT: Yep. Heat Wave 2000 July 16, 2000 in Los Angeles, CA Olympic Auditorium drawing 5,700 Shown live on PPV

November to Not Remember?

Are these guys' looks and promo skills as good as the Fallen Angel's? Excepting Styles, of course, due to his TNA membership.

Check the dash...Bat-man.

Deep, deep like the mind of Minolta, now picture this! Let's picnic inside a morgue, Not pic-a-nic baskets, pic-a-nic caskets, And I got the machine, that cracks your fuckin chest plates, open and release them guts, Then I release def cuts I also liked Tha Dogg Pound's album.

This is a widespread question. I just ran a search. "Tha Next Episode" and another song called "Doggystyle" (feat. George Clinton!) were removed at the last minute, but I guess they forgot to take the song name off the prints. I'm reading that the song "Doggystyle" is pretty damn tight. My guess is that the cassettes would have been too long, even though the CD's could hold the songs. Strange how they didn't simply make them bonus CD tracks.

"Gz Up Hoes Down" was pretty short and came after "Pump, Pump" right? And as for "Tha Next Episode" (Tha, not The, see), I remember the title but I don't remember the song. It's possible that it was the skit where Sam Sneed's bitch "chooses" Snoop, right around the same area as "Pump, Pump." The one on Chronic 2001 is simply "Next Episode." It's possible that the two tracks were combined with other tracks or that they were removed altogether. I bought Doggystyle when it first came out on cassette, but my car was stolen in January/95 so it was lost. Do you need these tracks?

Didn't Race's injury stem from him going through a table after Hogan moved out of the way? And Heenan blamed Hogan for moving? Considering all of the tabling that goes on these days, I guess wrestlers have become tougher over the years. Didn't they even do a Heenan Family interview on the stage and do a ten bell salute to Race?

Hate to bring this shit back up, but can jumpingbombangel or somebody else provide me with a link with some kind of info on the Dawn Marie/Simon Story? Kind of like the X-Pac and Tori Christmas Story, only different.

I thought he had a hint of Asian/Pac Islander in him, but a lot of Central-Americans look like they do, too, because of their diverse history, including islanders coming over on balsa wood rafts. My cousin (who is much older than I, something like 50) married an Indonesian guy years ago and their kids (who are closer to my age) look something like Bat-man. But I just assumed he was Hispanic-American. Thanks.

Can anybody tell me Batista's ethnic background? He is either Hispanic-American or Italian-American. They bill him from Washington, DC, and that city has a high population of people from El Salvador (and probably other Latin-Americans). While we're on the topic, is Al Snow also of a Hispanic origin? I remember years back they had some kind of Latin-American rally and Eddie was on stage with Al and somebody else.

***** That gets five just because of the quick response. It would've been four...

Who thinks he will go over at Mania and drop it at Backlash? Speaking of JBL, I found this nifty page to look at the hot chicks on Fox News Channel. JBL's new wife is in the left column. http://www.gogomag.com/talkingheads/foxnews_f.htm My favorites are Dagen McDowell (I love her accent), Laurie Dhue and Page Hopkins.

I think the "release" was voluntary. Unless I'm mistaken...

<<The Rougeaus debuting their American flags after telling Craig DeGeorge about their "Fabulous time in the states">> All-American boys!

They didn't have time. Flair left on July 2nd, and the GAB was two days later. Ah. I was under the impression that it was used on a long term basis. Even so, seems like they'd have a backup.

Thanks, res. I have another question: In The Death of WCW, they mentioned that WCW used the Western States Heritage title when Flair kept the big gold. Why didn't they simply have a new one made?

Has any man had so many booking positions without showing any actual ability to write a good story? I don't think Russo has ever managed to pull off ENDING a storyline. -=Mike I think Russo would be good if he had reins on him. Like he could throw out some wild shit and other writers could mold it into something coherent. Didn't WWE bring him back a few years ago for like one show? But he walked when they tried exactly that?

Ah, hell, anything with Dibiase...

Well, to balance it out, he did stereotypes of his own Italian-American culture. And now he is producing Christian videos. Give the guy a break.

I think the point of the angle would be that they are BACK together...
