While I can sort of understand Of Mice and Men being there...
Spoiler (Highlight to Read):
since the guy gets shot to death and all...
...that is just an awesome story. I bet the lame 1939 movie where they changed the ending is acceptable though
Stevens was brought in in late-1982 to help cement Jimmy Snuka's face turn (he piledrove Snuka on the concrete floor at a TV taping before doing jobs to him around the horn). Not sure he stuck around much more than six months.
Yes. In fact, when Pat Patterson was doing color commentary with Vince on play-by-play, they wore the same ugly suit.
Like I said, it was pretty much a series of house show matches until the TV match and never really built up.
But that's really the closest thing I could think of to an actual feud for face Backlund circa 1993.
1. Backlund had a house show feud with Shawn Michaels for the IC Title (mostly as a sub for an outgoing Marty Jannetty, but one of their matches aired on the 1993 SummerSlam Spectacular show).
2. Outside of that brief series with Diesel right after the title change, I can't think of anything.
They never really used Backlund as anything more than filler during his comeback.
I think that's right, but that was in December 1972. Who knows whether that match was taped, and even if it was, whether Verne Gagne kept the tape or taped over it?
Has anybody ever found a halfway decent copy of this card that includes the Backlund-Race match? I wanted to use that match for a today in Wrestling History column, but the only version of this show I've ever seen on tape doesn't have it.
See, you don't have to worry about that from me because I'm too damn honest to ever work for WWE.
I'm biased toward Lesnar and Angle, but still gave it what i felt to be a fair rating
I really don't care how I do in the tournament, really, because it's no concern of mine if people like me more than, say, The Dames.
But if I'm the thing, I might as well play to win, right?
Wasn't there a Dr. X that was doing house shows around 1985? That was Danny Davis. Maybe Mr. X or something like that. I know I have a tape of him wrestling under the hood someplace.
