Hogan, Hart Want To Start New Wrestling Promotion?

I didn't know if I just put this here or in Gen. Wrestling. So if it's in the wrong sorry.

 

Hogan, Hart Want To Start New Wrestling Promotion?

 

BS or truth?

 

During an appearance on Magic 105 KMJX yesterday, Jimmy Hart stated that he and Hulk Hogan want to start a new wrestling promotion. The promotion would apparently be based out of Universal Studios in Florida. Hart said they had already spoken to people like Ted Dibiase, Sting, Buff Bagwell, and Bret Hart. The only mention of TNA was that Hart said he had met up with Lex Luger and Sting there.

Hmmm I guess that Hogan deal with TNA is no more.

Didn't they already do this minus Bret?

 

And it failed miserably.

Not going to happen. Vince will get Nostalgic again and get Hogan in for Wrestlemania.

 

I think this is what happened last time. Hogan said he was thinking about starting up a promotion and then Vince got him back for the nWo reformation.

I can't wait until they do show #1 and only draw about 250.

Well if it's run out of Universal Studios, FL then the tourists would act as the audience like when WCW taped Worldwide.

 

It would be a full crowd no matter what.

 

They did the same thing with the XWF. BTW, are any XWF shows available on tape?

The good old days where they would have a lit sign (like the Applause one) that would tell the crowd to cheer or boo depending upon the wrestler who entered.

Except this time the wound is fresh between the two. They also had wanted to do it out of Cali last time and would have needed a TV deal..with Universal they can run 3 or 4 shows a day and make decent money.

Yeah wasn't the fed called the XWF. Not only did Vince hired Hogan from them he hired Curt Henning who was also wrestling for them.

I thought they were doing the tapings at Universal Studios as well?

[Guest FrigidSoul]

I had read Cali, but with all these reports who knows.

Um.....didn't we already deal with this 2 years ago called XWF? with Sable as the Figure head Chairman lol

Yeah I remember it also had Piper and the former Tugboat.

I'm sorry but Jimmy Hart is just too over the top so his wrestling promotion will probably be the cheesiest thing ever. Probably an embarassment to wrestling fans.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Yes the Nasty Boys can add another prestigious title reign to their collection!

 

And Ed Leslie will be the "X-TREME COMISSIONER".

 

Maybe Big Boss Man (called The Cop) and Earthquake (called The Squasher) can attack Hogan, and Lord Alfred Hayes can commentate.

 

Get this fucking thread out of here. Jesus Christ. As if the 100 god damn "WM XX NEWZ!" threads weren't bad enough.

Probably an embarassment to wrestling fans.

We already have one.

 

It's called WWE.

Here's the XWF card I attended:

 

XWF Results from Green Bay, Wisconsin 12-30-01

Submitted by William Martinez on Monday, December 31, 2001 at 12:48 AM EST

 

 

Thanks to Will "The Thrill" Sentowski for sending this report in!

 

XWF House Show

Sunday, December 30, 2001

Brown County Arena Green Bay, WI (across the street from Lambeau Field...Go Pack Go!)

 

If you've seen the XWF infomercial...the house show looks NOTHING like it. No ramp, no banners, no JumboTrons, no pyro, no lighting truss. They just used the NAWF ring from Chicago, and threw an XWF ring apron on. And around that ring: 2 tiny blue protective mats, 1 on each side. Each was maybe 1/2 the length of the ring.

 

The "aisle" was an alley with curtain walls, and a curving set of chain-link, leading to regular guardrails surrounding the ring. Yeesh.

 

Anyway, on to the show...which hardly differed from the Milwaukee card the night before, except no Rena Mero.

 

I won't even bother transcribing Potzie, the DJ from 107.5 FM.

 

XWF commish ROWDY RODDY PIPER hits the ring to his old WCW music. Some of the shots he took at WWF include:

 

"Not one of you kissed a promoter's bum to get in here."

"OUR wrestlers actually like women."

(when a few fans start with "What?") "None of that BS here."

"Here in Green Bay, we actually drink our beer, instead of pouring it over our heads."

 

Again, Piper threatens to tell a Hart story, and that brings out JIMMY HART with his latest protege, HAIL (who looks a lot like Bill Goldberg.) Piper books a match for the strapping young lad, and it's on right away:

 

 

HAIL vs. GREG "THE HAMMER" VALENTINE

(referee: Mickey J)

 

Valentine is REALLY showing his age and weight...very flabby and leathery. Hail, surprisingly, did all the stalling. Hart had him mock Hogan, doing the big boot, legdrop, earcup to all 4 sides, and legdrop again...but he missed the 2nd time. Valentine locks on the figure-4, Hart rakes his eyes, Valentine goes for Hart, Hart swings megaphone, hits Wall by accident, and The Hammer pins him. Who's carrying who here? A dead opener.

 

 

DREZDEN vs. BIG VITO

 

Vito also kept his old "Mamaluke" WCW music...and gear...and gimmick. Some decent old-school stuff here between the ring and guardrails, I guess. Drezden catches Vito's flying crossbody off the turnbuckle attempt, and hits front fallaway slam for pin. Nothing to write home about.

 

 

JOSH MATTHEWS (from MTV's Tough Enough) vs. KID KASH

(female referee)

 

Now THIS ruled. Good, long matwork sequence to start. Josh's selling is pretty darn good...but neither man could decide who the heel was. Nice little spotfest where Josh baseball slides Kash outside the ring, and Josh hits a flying front somersault over the top rope onto the blue mats...only to have Kash repeat the whole sequence on him moments later. Kash broke out a couple of nice submission holds: surfboard, devil lock (as seen by ACW's Sam Hayne). Kash eventually wins with double arm underhook powerbomb...but he raises Josh's hand aferwards. Easily the match of the night, from a couple of good young kids.

 

 

"THE BRITISH STORM" IAN HENDERSON vs. NORMAN SMILEY

 

Yes, Virginia, Norman Smiley still wears low-cut shoes to the ring, and he still does the "bouncing pecs" gimmick. (Crowd started chanting "USA"...but they're both British, and one lives in Mexico City...ow, my head...) Anyway, after a swinging scoop slam, Norman does the wiggle and gets the female ref to spank him. Uh...yeah...and he gets hit with a falcon arrow (I think) for it. Henderson gets Smiley to submit with some sort of leg scissors headlock.

 

Penzer pimps Polaroids with XGI Girls (too much eye shadow there, Gorgeous George), and we're at intermission.

 

 

THE WALL vs. HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN

 

Duggan comes out to his same ol' march, and stalls to start with broken board comedy, and "USA" chants. Hacksaw pins Wall with 3-point stance, but Wall beats down Duggan and female ref afterwards. Duggan recovers, and Wall bails. Wall looks to be in great shape, but the match was a snoozer.

 

 

TRIPLE JEOPARDY: BUFF BAGWELL vs. "THE ORIGINAL" CURT HENNING vs. VAMPIRO

 

XWF "Triple Jeopardy" rules mean 2 men start, 1 man on apron, can tag himself in or be tagged in at any time. It's supposed to be only 2 men in the ring at once, but you know how rules go in wrestling.

 

A LOT of stalling and mic work (nobody since Hart really had used the mic yet at this point) at the start here, with Bagwell and Henning competing for who's-the-bigger-superstar, until Vampiro announces the biggest one is...Mickey J. Huh? Onto the wrestling...Buff and Vampiro take it into the crowd, and Vampiro jumps off the first-level railing (about 10 feet) onto Bagwell...spot of the night. Typical old-school ending: heels can't work together, Henning swings for Buff and hits Mickey J, Henning goes for the knux, Buff swipes 'em and KO's Vampiro for the pin. Vampiro recovers, clears the ring of heels, and thanks fans for supporting XWF's first tour.

 

So far, a LOT like Milwaukee's card, eh?

[Guest Frank_Nabbit]
