The Buzz 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 I just saw a little blurb on a few sites that Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, and Ultimate Warrior are all appearing at the same New Jersey convention to sign autographs in May. What an unlikely group to appear no matter how far away their tables may be from one another. Also If there is already a comments thread that I missed when I looked feel free to delete. I just thought the thread could use one for appearances, and other notes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Buzz 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 FROM: http://wrestlingfigs.com/inner2.php?id=448...a0f2ccafdfd854d I'll admit that I went into this signing with a pessimistic outlook, the costs of certain things and the supposed reputation of the Ultimate Warrior. But I must say that all of the autographs I got today went really smoothly and I was very impressed. I was especially impressed with Ultimate Warrior and how he handled his autograph session. He was on time, he was very social and he made time for everyone that came up to him to chat. I got to chat with him for a couple of minutes and left very happy. For a man who supposedly "self-destructed" I didn't see one piece of evidence to back that claim. I also met the Iron Sheik and he was very nice and posed for photos with everyone. I managed to meet him right before the incident with Warrior and that itself was a scary moment because Sheik threw his coat down and called Warrior out for a fist fight. Warrior just stared as Sheik dropped a lot of F-bombs, it was broken up fairly quickly but I guess that's the world of pro wrestling in the fact that anything can happen. Bruno Sammartino was very social and he signed and posed for all of his fans. The line for Hulk Hogan wasn't that long by the time I got up to him. I was greeted by Jimmy Hart who is always cool to talk to and finally got to meet the Hulkster and chatted with him for a minute, got my picture signed and posed for a photo and decided to find the nearest White Castle before another battle royal started. Overall it was a very well run autograph signing and if anyone who reads this has the chance to meet any of these legends I highly recommend it. Joseph DeSario If anyone was lucky enough to get a picture of Warrior and Bruno together, I would love for you to email me a copy for my personal collection on Bruno Georgie [email protected] I also heard that Iron Sheik slapping Eric Simms should be on You Tube soon....

The Buzz 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 I loved how once there was no one holding the iron sheik back, he just turns and walks away anyway. Earlier in the day I guess Bruno and Warrior had a pleasant meeting. To bad no one puts up youtube videos of stuff like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2007 http://cpmunk.ytmnd.com/ Does anyone have any idea where the picture came from? Punk's character and gimmick have been parodied by the wrestling federation CHIKARA with the character CP Munk, the straight edge chipmunk. The character is simply a chipmunk mascot costume which includes references to Punk such as X marked wrist tape, a Pepsi logo on the costume's left shoulder, and a high-pitch version of Punk's best-known independent circuit theme song Miseria Cantare - The Beginning, as performed by the band AFI. That's from Wikipedia. He wrestled at the August 13, 2005 Negative Balance show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timmy8271 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 Wasn't CP Munk played by Necro Butcher? And Joker played someone. I think it was Colt Cubunny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2007 Yeah it was Necro and Joker. Here's a match with two of the ROH trainees vs Munk and Cubunny. http://youtube.com/watch?v=DWt8JPc4IYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2007 Yeah, the backstory was Necro had beaten them up in the Tag Tournament the year before. CP Munk was used a couple of times before, Necro was only CP Munk for that one match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garth 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2007 I'm really interested in where it goes now. It seems logical that Jimmy finally wins Lacey over, but it just feels all wrong. It's amazing that the angle has been going on now for what, a year and a half now and still seems fresh. It's a testament to how well it's been booked. It's made Jimmy a real player in ROH. I heard rumblings that before the angle took off he was going to be dropped. Funny how far removed Jimmy is from that happening now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard rumblings that before the angle took off he was going to be dropped. Funny how far removed Jimmy is from that happening now. What really makes it work is that this has Jimmy's work all over it. From the fantastic videos, promos (expecially the AS3 promo, which might have been the greatest promo in ROH history if it weren't for Punk's rant on Raven at WrestleRave) and most importantly, the amazing brawls with Cabana and Whitmer. The cage match is the far ahead leader for my 2007 MOTY selection right now because not since Tully and Magnum have I've really felt two people hated each other and escalated it in the process of some truly sickening shots. There are some mumblings that another girl gets involved and leads to a jealous Lacey angle. Who knows? This is one of those rare times where as a fan you just stick back and don't even want to imagine what is next because it'll blow you away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2007 As long is they avoid the obvious twists of Lacey teasing falling for Jimmy only to turn him down yet again or Jimmy suddenly deciding he doesn't want Lacey after all, I'll be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2007 I sent you a transcript but for those who haven't seen it, you should do yourself a service and find it. While not quite as great as the ASEIII promo, the follow-up promo the next night prior to the blow-off match was also very well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Flamboyance 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2007 Yeah, Jacobs is currently my favorite ROH character. I was going to buy ASE3 and SOH2 at the ppv taping but I couldnt afford it so I'm downloading them instead. I keep hearing about the promo and I can't wait to hear it. Also, I'm dying to see the cage match. Right now, I'm up to FYF: Finale and just finished watching the Falls Count Anywhere Match between him and Whitmer. It was incredibly brutal. It REALLY sucks that he won't be wrestling for some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DangerousDamon 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2007 I think Nigel McGuiness' lariat against Jimmy Rave at FYF: Finale has to be one of the grossest lariats in the history of mankind. *RANDOM QUESTION* How is that ROH can't have TNA guys booked, but IWA-MS can?

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2007 It's partly due to the PPV issue with ROH. TNA don't want their guys working for companies with DVD promotion, apparantly. Or DVD promotion through Highspots it would seem. They've been pulled from ROH and also Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, who are with Highspots. IWA:MS sells their DVDs through Smartmark Video, which apparantly isn't a problem to TNA seeing as SMV don't stock their DVDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
