Guest cynicalprofit Report post Posted October 13, 2002 didnt they fight in wcw? According to google.com m wrong, but i swore they had a match on nitro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted October 13, 2002 It's entirely possible. Whether or not they would be given the time and respect NJ could have provided is another story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Midnight Express83 Report post Posted October 13, 2002 Its possible from anytime in 96 and 97. Because both were on the roster at the time. I guess it could have been a house show match from then or a Sat night match. Great match that never happenend: Midnight Express vs Heavenly Bodies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cynicalprofit Report post Posted October 16, 2002 No way theyd be given the correct amount of time.(i swear im dyslexic) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest XdojimeX Report post Posted October 17, 2002 Kawada/Hashimoto or Kawada/Takada. "I think Benoit did fight ultimo" Maybe a WCW house show but certainly not in Japan. Aside from a throwaway tag in NJ with Malenko but that's it. Frickin' crime too, especially considering the match was sitting RIGHT THERE in their primes on a certain December night in Tokyo but didn't get the book.

Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted October 17, 2002 Yep, we got Liger/Gedoh instead. There is no justice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wayzing Report post Posted October 17, 2002 Vader vs Aja Kong...damn. Hmmm. What's that feeling? Strange. Ah, now I know. It's an idea. Dump Mutsumota Hulk Hogan But I'd probably prefer a high profile match between Barry Windham vs. Ricky Steamboat in the late 80's. I think I've seen pictures of them in the ring but it's probably from a house show or a tag match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bravesfan Report post Posted October 21, 2002 ...Bret Hart in a match with Kurt Angle would kick 345,000,000 different types of ass. And it wouldn't matter which played face or heel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dc_tapes Report post Posted October 25, 2002 Bret fought Mankind on Shotgun Saturday Night 1/25/97, so it would have been face Bret vs. heel Mankind.

Flair won by dq when Andre threw Flair over the top rope, where in the NWA, was illegal. Thats how Flair kept his title against Brody, Masked Superstar and other tall/giant wrestlers.... I dont quite recall Angle v Backlund. Maybe a house show??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cynicalprofit Report post Posted October 25, 2002 I could have swore one of the first guys Angle made submit was Backlund. It may have been a segment, but wasnt Backlund coaching him or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest McLeary Report post Posted October 27, 2002 Yeah, Angle & Backlund were doing a "tough love" thing and Bob gave taught him the crossface chickenwing. Angle put Bob in it in an interview on the WM 2000 pre-game on SNH. He really should bust out that move again sometime... I'd really would have liked to see Angle, Benoit and possibly Lesnar work against the top UWF-I and Rings shootstyle guys ( Takada, Maeda, Tamura, Kohsaka, Han) and I guess they'd have to do it in WWE ring so they could do all all the cool shooty mat stuff but not be limited strictly to it. It's still possible for bothe Benoit and Angle to have the opportunity to work with all the pimped indy guys(Dragon, Ki). It might not seem likely now, but the wrestling world as we now it now didn't seem very likely a couple of years ago, either. An AJPW/UWF-I feud would've been cool, as both companies were in their prime at about the same time, and it would be fun to see if the could mesh both styles into something cohesive(I had Kobashi fight Takada in VPW2, and it was GOOD, I tell you). I also doubt Baba would have screwed them over the way Chosyu did. I'd have liked to have seen Hogan-Flair happen in '89, as both guys were in their primes and really at the height of their popularity(moreso than they were post '94), and it would have been a huge spectacle and Flair at that point would take a game Hogan to ***** easy. I'd have liked to have seen Hogan in AJPW in '93, as opposed to the NJPW stuff he did(hell, Bossman worked AJ in '93) because his best match was with Hansen in '90 and it just would have weird and interesting to see him go a couple times. Hogan getting kicked in the face by Kawada would be fascinating(I actually do like both guys, but for very, very different reasons, obviously). -I think Tiger Mask Sayama vs. Tiger Mask IV would be a freaky mirror match. -Ohtani vs. Vader(another VPW2 clash) would be great if they made it more than a squash. Vader as the monster beating the living hell out of Shinjiro, Ohtani doing his comic overselling and countering at all the right times with his springboards and kicks and some well placed attacks to the arm and leg. I might be perverse enough as a booker to have him pull off the upset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
