cawthon777 Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 For those of you who frequent my website, just wanted to let you know that I've re-posted the 150 or so print ads I have into fuller size images (and added a few more). They start in 1964 and continue to November 2003. Yes, now you can actually read where the show was held. If you come across any others, feel free to drop me an e-mail. Here's the direct link: http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/ad.html
Guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 Thanks, I was waiting for those so I could see the rest.
BifEverchad Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 Dammit Graham, I had an ad from a newpaper around here somewhere from the July 2002 SmackDown! house show, I coulda scanned it off for ya. Shit. I'll have a look.
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 On the Japanese one, was that Tenryu on the opposite side of Yoko???
JJMc Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 The other day, I found a full page ad from the USA today hyping the first ever Smackdown! from April '99..might you have any interest in that, or are you only looking for live event ones?
cawthon777 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Posted February 10, 2004 You know what ... I think I might be interested. So far I've only posted live event ads but I have received a number of Saturday Night's Main Event and The Main Event ads (I think from TV Guide). I'll probably add them all soon enough.
cawthon777 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Posted February 10, 2004 On the Japanese one, was that Tenryu on the opposite side of Yoko??? Yep, he worked several of the WWF's May 94 Japan tour dates. What I'm not sure about is the Japanese wrestler featured in the ad from 1980 that also includes Backlund, Inoki, and Hansen. I'm a bit Japanese illiterate so if it's obvious and I'm just not getting it, forgive me.
Guest Markingout Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 After the last one in 92 all the ads became red Xs. I refreshed and the same thing happened.
Slayer Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 Who do you know in Flint, MI? (I see a lot of ads from the Capital Centre) I also see a couple of events I went to long ago (in Wichita)
cawthon777 Posted February 14, 2004 Author Report Posted February 14, 2004 Who do you know in Flint, MI? (I see a lot of ads from the Capital Centre) The Capital Centre was in Landover, MD ("Capital" since it was so close to DC; later renamed the USAir Arena and torn down a few years back). I'm from the area so everytime I go home, I'll find a few more via old issues of the Washington Post.
cawthon777 Posted February 14, 2004 Author Report Posted February 14, 2004 After the last one in 92 all the ads became red Xs. I refreshed and the same thing happened. I just tried it and they all showed up. Don't know what to tell you.

D'oh... there's a Capital Centre in Flint, MI and that was the first one I thought of (since I'm originally from Ohio/Michigan) Looking back at the ads for Wichita from the early 90's, there was a time when they came here every six months or so... now we're lucky if they come here every two years or so (last time was an SD house show in August)
The Tino Standard Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 Those were AWESOME... Great collection.
snuffbox Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 damn Cawthon, this shit is awesome!
Caliban Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Whaaaaa? Hogan vs Warrior with Mike Tyson as ref? Did this actually happen?
Drury37 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Whaaaaa? Hogan vs Warrior with Mike Tyson as ref? Did this actually happen? It was suppose to happen but then James "Buster" Douglas beat Mike Tyson and therefore that never happenend if I have my story straight which I believe I do on this one. Thanks.
Caliban Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 I think you are right, if Tyson had appeared on SNME I'd have thought WWE would have brought it up at some point around WM XIV.
cawthon777 Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Posted February 18, 2004 Whaaaaa? Hogan vs Warrior with Mike Tyson as ref? Did this actually happen? Savage, not Warrior. WWF @ Detroit, MI - Joe Louis Arena - February 23, 1990 The Main Event III - shown live on NBC: WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan pinned Randy Savage at 11:14 when guest outside referee Buster Douglas (sub. for Mike Tyson) made the fast count following the legdrop; during the match, Douglas sent Sensational Sherri, who was in the challenger's corner, backstage; after the match, Douglas knocked Savage out with a punch
Drury37 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Yeah that is exactly what I heard had happenend but that makes no sense if they where going to use Tyson why not just have him be the referee at WWF WrestleMania VI in the Title Vs. Title Main Event between Hulk Hogan Vs. Ultimate Warrior it just makes no sense that they would waste him on the other match but that is what would have happenend. Thanks.

Title Main Event between Hulk Hogan Vs. Ultimate Warrior it just makes no sense that they would waste him on the other match but that is what would have happenend. Actually, there was talk at the time of Savage being a transitional champion for Warrior - since the WWF was so lukewarm to face vs. face matches (talk from fans, mags, etc). Involving Tyson - or Douglas for that matter - bumped up the anticipation for the free TV Hogan vs. Savage title bout (a match that had happened nearly every day of the previous year). Also, involving a boxer as the guest referee means he would have to knock someone out ... couldn't do that with Hogan vs. Warrior.
Drury37 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Yeah I heard that it was going to be Savage Vs. Warrior at WWF WrestleMania VI which would have been interesting to see Hogan not in the main event. Yeah you are right he could not have knocked out either Hogan or Warrior so it somewhat makes sense. I heard that Savage Vs. Hogan match from WWF Saturday Night's Main Event was really bad. Let me add that Cawthon777's site kicks major ass!!! Thanks.
