When we film my Buck Zumhofe movie script, I think I found my star.

HELL YEAH @Laz

I'd like to respond but it's age restricted and won't open

It’s SID’s ‘04 comeback match where he teamed up with PCO in a tag team royal rumble.

Did Sheik and Sabu ever work against each other?

And man those people got to watch ICP before they were clowns. Hell yeah.

 

[alkeiper]

I read that they had one match against each other in the ‘80s but I can’t source it at the moment.

Babyface Skandar Akbar brings in Kevin VE to seek revenge against the Hammer.

This is basically the end of Kevin's career. He's almost 40 and has all the tragic things in the still recent past. He really doesn't look like his heart is in it.

Did Dave bang Cornette's wife?

The fact that it was Doink III made me LOL.
Then I realized they were kayfabing the Doink double and not a previous knock off

No love for the Ultimate Chippendale?

Hannibal should put a call out for one of UW's early 80s gay escort clients to do a shoot interview.

Did Warrior and Jim Barnett cross paths?

 

[BruiserBrody]

Did Warrior and Jim Barnett cross paths?

My notes indicate Barnett's "suicide" attempt was May 87. Warrior came in weeks later.

There are apparently 2 versions of what happened. Barnett either made a power play that went sour and was fired or he commented too often about missing Atlanta, so they sent him home without a gig.

XPW when it was good.

 

[Valeyard]

She is SO early 2000s LA second-class porn queen.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

That's XPW in a nutshell.

I am sure 1999 Bob Backlund Vs Buddy Landell was electric.

I want to believe a coked to his tits Herb Abrams actually did this.

Me and Brod’s dream double main event.

 

[alkeiper]

I went to a show in ‘99 that had Bushwhackers vs. Headshrinkers and Snuka vs. Bundy. Also had Nikolai Volkoff against whatever Indy worker was also doing a russian communist gimmick.

If you can get past making awkward small talk with a young Devon Storm and the Metal Maniac, you can bowl with a glassy eyed Superbly.

Do you think he bowled barefoot, Brad?

 

[Valeyard]

I'm imagining me at nine or ten badgering my parents into doing this and never living it down.

Would have deadass asked if he regretted his strategy for that IC title battle royal and if he thought he could've beaten Razor.

 

[alkeiper]

Tbh, doesn’t seem like the worst time.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Bowling Lanes and coke lines. Sounds like a fun day.

Rookie DDP in a rare appearance.
Hopefully Kunte Kinte never had a strap match.

 

[alkeiper]

It's always amazing to go through old results and see guys named things like "Tokyo Joe." People aren't maliciously racist but the only exposure they have to other cultures is Hollywood tropes.
