Matches You Didn't Think Existed

[Fall of Epic]

Never knew they used the Saturday Night set for Worldwide.

I don’t recall my area having Worldwide during this era so seeing Sandman on that set is a trip. And I chuckled tonight with him wearing a Sandman shirt, as I don’t think I would’ve recognized the character on his shirt back when this happened.

Never knew they used the Saturday Night set for Worldwide.

They used the Saturday Night set for Worldwide from the time that the Disney taping ended in Fall of ‘98 until when Saturday Night went off the air in March of ‘00.

then they taped the Worldwide exclusive matches before Thunder tapings until WCW got so broke they started taping Nitro and Thunder in same taping in late October ‘00. At that point, Worldwide just became a recap show.

Maybe most recent match ITT.

This must've been just before I got AXS TV or something. I thought Rey Mysterio did something at one of their early USA shows but I don't remember him interacting with Tana or Okada at all!

Low Rent Indy Thread crosspost.

Gangrel Vs Big Cass and Mil Muertes Vs Wes Brisco are definitely matches that will exist. Not advertised in that post but supposedly going to be there; Roddy Piper's daughter Teal, Charlie Haas, THE BOOGIEMAN, Melina, RODNEY MACK, and Selina Del Renta.

Also this is the promotion that Lacey Von Erich co-owns so we'll probably get a fun loving, confused drunken promo from her.

 

[Valeyard]

If there's a timestamp it's because I tapped out midway through, but PN News vs Rene Dupree is something that happened once. Cannonball Grizzly is the greatest wrestling name ever.

ngl. The King Vs '94 Chris Voldemort is a match that intrigues the hell out of me.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Barbarian vs Kamala in a squash match. Followed by a very odd Masked Superstar promo where he doesn't seem to have a direction for his injury angle.

Mance Warner Vs Tommy Rich happened last night on AIW's mystery show.

I saw a few pictures and was like "Did Mance wrestle Gangrel? Or did Raven let himself go even more!?" Nope! It's the former NWA World Champion!

Idk if there was ever a big match that seemed designed to be instantly forgotten than this one. And I even recognized this when it happened in 2013. Undertaker wrestling a singles match on free TV in 2013 on a B show?

And the weird thing is it was probably Undertaker's last objectively good singles match (I loved the Boneyard last year but it's not really a match!)

WWF @ Omaha, NE - Civic Auditorium - August 25, 1994 (1,200)
Bruiser Mastino (sub. for Virgil) defeated Nikolai Volkoff

Proto Mantaur vs 1994 Volkoff might be among the worst things I could ever imagine.

What!?
Looking at Cawthon, the match never happened cause Nexus ran in and beat down both guys as it was starting. 2010!

 

[Valeyard]

That Bret run never happened so a match can't exist if the time never existed.

 

[Valeyard]

Now here we go.

 

[Valeyard]

Oh no.

5/28/ 1988 - WWF ran Providence, Rhode Island at the Civic Center drawing 5,400 featuring the following results:

Bobby Heenan & Haku & High Chief Afi defeated Koko B. Ware & The British Bulldogs in a steel cage match when, as Smith and Haku were the final two men in the ring, Heenan slammed the cage door into Smith's face allowing Haku to escape

Random WCW Bullshit Thread Crosspost.

Is Julio Sanchez the least memorable guy to make appearances for WWF, WCW, and ECW during the Monday Night Wars? Also I had no idea how long his career was. He made his first WCW appearance in 1995 and his last WWE job duty was in 2008!

Barely remember Vader showing up in Destination America Impact and getting squashed by IIRC Bram but I wished I didn't.

Edit- Vader actually went over by DQ but IIRC and I think I *was* still watching Impact regularly at this point it was cause Bram just beat the shit out of him and wouldn't stop. This was also the episode where Jeff & Karen Jarrett returned and started that stupid Impact Vs GFW feud that no one cared about.

God. Mid 2010s Impact is a weird ass promotion that no one talks about, mostly cause no one besides me and the TNA Asylum nerds were still watching.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Yeah, I definitely don't recall that but I do remember Bram's gimmick at this time issuing open challenges and random legends accepting.

There was a Hardy Boyz-Fabulous Freebirds match in January '00! Has to be the last in-ring appearance by the Freebirds, yeah? I'm amazed Terry Gordy even had a match this century given what rough shape he was during his WWF run three years earlier.

Both teams are kind of "Whaaaaaaaat!?"

2002-03 WWF/E truly is the weirdest timeline.

2002-03 WWF/E truly is the weirdest timeline.

Really tempted to start a Ruthless Aggression era BS thread.

Mind melting match from Vader's brief 1991 babyface run.
