Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 Credit: PWInsider.com & WrestlingObserver.com At today's WWE show in Tokyo, Japan, both Rob Van Dam and Jamie Noble were complaining of back pain. Noble's injury seemed to have come during his match, while RVD was experiencing pain and complaining about it after the show. Both Chris Jericho and Hulk Hogan are on the current "I Love the 90's" show on VH-1 that runs constantly. Jericho was talking about Zubaz pants and the Crash Test dummies. This Thursday on WWE's Byte This webcast, Rhyno stated that he'd rather blow his brains out than go back to Smackdown. He mentioned that the writers for the show had no idea what to do with him, and he is very happy to now be on RAW. If his own words are true, Chavo Guerrero Classic was drugged and kidnapped on the days of the house shows that led to his release from WWE. By now, everyone knows the story: Chavo was fired for missing two shows without calling in to explain. Original reports stated that he took the firing in stride and accepted it. However, the latest word is that Classic actually claimed to management that he was "drugged and kidnapped." Very few believe this story, especially since Eddie and Chavo Jr. did not fight for Classic's job. Many also contest Classic's claim that he had rejected various storylines proposed by management while still with the company. Jim Ross recently went on record and used the word “challenging” to describe several aspects of the Great American Bash PPV which fell far below anyone’s expectations. He stated that Kenzo Suzuki, Luther Reigns, and Mordecai weren’t established yet and not ready for PPVs. He gave the overall PPV a slight thumbs down. A new US champion will be crowned next week, with John Cena working a program with whoever it is (there is talk of Booker T, management aren't too happy with Rene Dpree at the moment). The angle will be that Cena will introduce his own, custom made US title which will lead to a unification match on PPV. Mick Foley will be appearing on Ring of Honor's September 11 event. Newsday has article up about former WWE star Akeem who now works on death row. Eddie Guerrero did work the second Japan show despite his hamstring injuries. He was heavily protected in his match (he teamed with The Undertaker against Kurt Angle and John Bradshaw Layfield). The two Japan shows did not sell out but due to high ticket prices, grossed a very high amount. The exact numbers are not available yet but it is expected that the two shows grossed over $2 million at the gate. WWE's RAW Diva Search special on Spike TV yesterday drew a 1.1 rating with a 2 share. Chris Jericho is putting his alterego “Mongoose McQueen” to rest for future Fozzy recordings. Jericho is said to be very happy with the original music the band has produced and wants to continue on that route moving forward. Mick Foley underwent knee surgery last week and is healing well. Gail Kim is out of action as one of her implants was leaking. We'll keep you posted. Kevin Fertig (who was Mordecai) has totally changed his look and has been sent back to OVW. Speaking of the OVW training center, Akio & Sakoda have both been sent back there as well. Test, who is set to undergo neck surgery shortly, was on his way out of WWE. He was due to be released but as WWE don't release anyone whilst they are injured as a way of policy, he survives for now at least.

Guest Staravenger Report post Posted July 19, 2004 Finally....whoever had a hard on for Test and his non-stop pushes to get over has finally gave up on him. I hope Rhyno doesn't get in trouble for his comments....they might send him back to Smackdown as punishment. Everything else isn't too important, but it's nice to know Akeem is working with people being prepared to be executed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it was nice of Bossman to recommend his old buddy Akeem for the job. It'll be interesting to see how Cena and Book pull off a unification bout, especially if they decide to make a ladder match.

Jericho was talking about Zubaz pants and the Crash Test dummies. He also gave an excellent explanation for the premise of "the X-Files". Jericho's role on the "I Love the..." shows is one of the Explainer Guys, as he always has to do the set up while Hal Sparks and Michael Ian Black get all the best lines. Bret Hart will be meeting with Shane McMahon at some point today. Sadly, I can't come up with just the right Montreal joke for this. Can someone help me out?

Guest The Ultimate Fantasy Report post Posted July 19, 2004 Bret said last night that he wants the iron man match with HBK on the dvd, the matches with Mr. Perfect, the owen tribute match, the match with Hakushi and a couple of others. Hopefully they seprate it into different sections, in order to focus on the whole Hart/Austin feud, so as to include the Hart Foundation, and maybe guess commentary between Bret and HBK.

Hogan was being typical Hogan with his comments. On Jesse Ventura becoming Governor in 98: "I knew we were all in trouble". He went on to say that if Jesse were to run for president, he would have Hogan's vote (yeah, right) ... but made sure to mention that the Hulkster could still beat Jesse in the ring (um ... because it would be a legit fight, right?). Sadly, he didn't mention the fact that it was his fault Jesse was fired in 90. Oh, and apprently Hogan sneaks into his office to watch Jerry Springer.

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 I hope Rhyno doesn't get in trouble for his comments....they might send him back to Smackdown as punishment. As long as he says that its been a lifelong dream of his to work with HHH when he is asked about those comments, I'd say he'd be fine. I think the comments won't be an issue. It seems like they are trying to make it look like the brands are in competition with each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really hope this happen, as the owen and iron man matches are already on on other DVDs, and would jsut take up space(especially the Iron Man match) I'd be pleased/surprised if they put the waltman Raw match on there.

geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 Bret said he considers the iron man match perhaps the greatest match ever, saying it has never been duplicated. He really wants that match on the dvd. He also said he wanted the Bulldog wembley match on there. My Bret dvd would look like this: Hart Foundation vs. the Rockers Bret vs. Perfect from Summerslam Bret vs. Piper from Wrestlemania Bret vs. Bulldog from Summerslam Bret vs. Flair 1st world title Bret vs. HBK 1992 Survivor Series Bret vs. 123 Kid Raw Bret vs. Lawler Summerslam Bret vs. Owen Mania 10 Bret vs. Austin Survivor Series Bret vs. Austin Mania Bret vs. Taker One Night Only DVD Extras would Be: Bret vs. HBK ladder match Bret vs. Perfect King of the Ring Bret vs. Flair WCW Souled Out Thats my list. I took out Bret/Owen cage because it is on bloodbath and I already have one Bret/Owen match on there and the tribute match is on Chris' dvd. That would take 4 dvds I assume, and I would buy it in a second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Promoter 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 I would like some of the tag team matches from the 80's with the British Bulldogs. He might ask for the company to put at least one. He always said that those matches use to steal the show back then. The Killer Bees rivalry wasn't too bad either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw the Bret vs Owen ironman match the other week. These are some of the matches Bret said he wanted on the DVD. I never heard the interview but this is what I found searching around the net. WM match against Austin Slam match against Perfect Raw match with Hakushi! Survivor Series against Diesil If he can Stampede matches against Dynamite!!!!

algrim 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 For historical purposes, do you think they would put the 1999 Starcade match with Goldberg? I really hope not. It was an "okay" match, but the ending just plain sucked, aside from not making sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 Bret vs. Piper from Wrestlemania Shit, I totally forgot about that one. It's been YEARS since I saw that match, but I remember marking for it hard, because I always liked Piper (when I was a kid) and that was probably the best match I had ever seen him in.

He also said he wanted the Bulldog wembley match on there. Man, Bret's stroke has screwed up his thinking. His match with HBK at WM12 was his best ever? Yikes And a Bret DVD should include at least one Hart Foundation v Bulldogs match. The ones from before DK's injury age extremely well. Also, why is management allegedly down on Dupree? -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Age 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 Dupree seems to have gotten WORSE since going solo. I liked him as part of La Rez on Raw, but he just hasn't done anything for me since going to SD! I wish Conway had his push. And why where they even considering Cena vs Dupree? Cena's pinned him, like, 8 times or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 i'd Add in the DVD for historical moments Bret Hart vs Tiger Mask II at the WWF/AJPW 1990 cross promotional event Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Decadent Slacker Report post Posted July 19, 2004 The US title hasn't carried my interest since Eddie lost it. I haven't seen SD! in about 2 months, but i was almost digging Dupree. Not enough for his position on the card, but in that warm & fuzzy kicking Funaki's ass on Velocity way. The Bret DVD interests me. It by law should be as thought out as the Flair one, so that's 3 discs minimum. Just for the love of god, make it quality. I have this horrible thought of Yankem being there in some capacity.

Guest tangerine Report post Posted July 19, 2004 A Bret Hart DVD would be absolutely splendid. A long list of matches to choose from and I'm happy to see that Bret apprently has a good deal of control of his DVD. However, I will agree with the consensus about how The Iroman Match is a outlandish belief for Bret and shawn to feel is their best matches. I never really seen either men properly explain why they felt this is their best match. Personaly, Bret's best match was 1996 Survivor Series against Steve Austin. For Shawn? Mind Games 1996. The Ironman Match isn't even the best match between the two, It's a rather disapointing thing that The 1992 Series match goes overlooked. I would love to see Bret Hart's DVD split into chapter form(with various promos related to that match and such) DISC ONE Chapter One The Hart Foundation Hart Foundation Vs British Bulldogs-The title change match Hart Foundation Vs Brain Busters-Summer Slam 1989(?) Chapter Two The Best there is... Bret Hart Vs Mr. Perfect Summer Slam 1991 Bret Hart Vs Roddy Piper Wrestle Mania 8 Bret Hart Vs British Bulldog Summer Slam 1992 Bret Hart Vs Ric Flair-The title change Bret Hart Vs Owen Hart-WMX (The Cage Match is already used) Bret Hart Vs Hakushi- Raw 1994 Bret Hart Vs Diesel-Survivor Series 1995 Disc Two Chapter One Shawn Michaels(A chapter devoted to their history) Bret Hart Vs HBK-Survivor Series 1992 Bret Hart Vs HBK-IronMan Match (since bret's so die hard for it, if he wants it this bad, i'll respect it) Bret Hart Vs HBK-Survivor Series 1997 (Might as well throw in a piece on Montreal with this section anyways) Disc Three My Greatest Run (The Hart Foundation Reunite) Bret Hart Vs Steve Austin-Survivor Series 1996 Bret Hart Vs Steve Austin-WrestleMania 13 The Canadian Stampede 10 Man Tag Match Bret Hart Vs Undertaker-One Night Only (This chapter is loaded with H.F Vignettes) Chapter Two The WCW Days Bret Hart Vs Ric Flair-Souled Out 1998 Bret Hart Vs Chris Benoit-Owen Tribute Match Bret Hart Vs Kevin Nash-Thunder 2000 (Bret's last match of career) (I'm drawing a blank on other significant WCW matches. This tells you how horrid this run was) Chapter Three Misc. Promos-Music Videos (They SO need the "You start the fire" video). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
