Guest JacK Report post Posted October 10, 2003 I know Shamrock went off to UFC, but I don't know why; and I also don't know what happened to Malice, Apollo, Monty Brown; and all those other guys that were around then but aren't know. With most of them, that's not a bad thing, it's a good thing; but Apollo seemed decent enough from what I saw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2003 Apollo is the IWA-PR heavyweight champ. I wouldn't be suprised to see him in TNA if Dutch Mantel is booking for both. Talent swaps could be good if the introduce talent wisely. I think Jeff Jarrett even wrestled Apollo on the IWA tv show a few weeks back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LucharesuFan619 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2003 I saw Monty Brown's name in some Michigan (I think) indie results in one of the Observer updates. Malice had been touring in All Japan. Monty Brown worked a tag match not too long ago that featured Gangrel, Sabu, and another guy who I forget the name of. Malice also worked in XPW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Gary Busey Report post Posted October 10, 2003 After the talk of Malice getting a WWE developmental contract died down, there hasn't really been anything from him lately. What about the Johnsons? Dupps? Midgets? Steamboat? Brad Armstrong and his dad? JJ Dillion? Percy Pringle? Sabu? Harris Brothers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bort Report post Posted October 11, 2003 I was not an Apollo fan, anyone remeber when he blew the super kick during the Truth vs jeff title match, Monty Brown seemed ok and his press slam into a fallwayslam was pretty cool, his fued with elix sucked though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Randy Pan Report post Posted October 11, 2003 I mark for Cheex! Bring him back! As for most of the other names mentioned, I didn't think much of them anyway. Malice had improved from his "wall" character but was my no means worthy of a regular spot. I always thought Monty was overrated, Sabu is good but past his prime and unreliable. Harris brothers - Meh!, Pringle is too old for active TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syxx2001 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2003 Monty was cool. Him and Truth would have made a good tag team. The Malice character rawks~! Apolo is good too. He has TEH LOOK~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2003 I marked heavy for Malice and Monty Brown. Brown, for somebody as green as he is, was actually very good. Solid look, solid in the ring, solid mic work, and a good amount of charisma. Everything about Brown, to me anyways, screamed "possible superstar." Why WAS he let go, anyways?

Guest Jay Z. Hollywood Report post Posted October 11, 2003 Bo Dupp=Trevor Rhodes in IWA: Mid South Stan Dupp=Otto Schwantz in Carolina Indies You got those mixed up dude. Stan is Trevor Rhodes (related to Dusty and Dustin.) Bo is Otto Schwantz Yeah, I miss the Alpha Male, he always entertained me, he had charisma and a cool moveset, and could have been a solid upper-midcard player.

Styles 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2003 Um, are we all forgetting that Monty knocked out The Truth with a botched powerbomb (this was when they were building Killings for the NWA title) and he was never seen again. I don't think it was a coincidence... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JacK Report post Posted October 13, 2003 Oh, ok, thanks for all that. It was weird, though, watching these older shows and wondering who the hell everyone on it was. Though it was cool seeing Truth become, well Truth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JacK Report post Posted October 14, 2003 I've got a question, though he wasn't around at the beginning, but what happened to Mike Sanders? He just up and disappeared all of a sudden...I miss him... YES!!!!! FINALLY! Someone else who misses Sanders!!!! I never thought I'd see the day . . . wow, cool. All this time I've been bringing him up everywhere I can, and even buggin Tenay and stuff about it. I think they got rid of Sanders because of his backstage attitude or something, or some such thing like that. One of those torch/observer dealy things said something about it a while ago . . . but then, the same one said David Young was gone, but he's BACK, so maybe Sanders will be too . . . one can only but hope. Also, what happened to Divine Storm and The Hotshots, where either of them any good, and how long where they around for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syxx2001 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 David Young was let go because they didn't have anything for him. He only came back because Johnny Swinger had to have surgery and Young was backstage, so he took his spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JacK Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Oh, ok then. But still, Sanders needs to come back, even if he just stands there, does interviews with Goldy, and Says 'Hey!' a lot. That was Gold damnit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, Monty is working in the AWWL here in Lansing, MI (my hometown). Sabu shows up pretty often, and Kevin Sullivan is fairly prominent as well. AWWL is owned by the Iron Sheik's sons btw...
