No wonder Repo put a mask on at the end of the gimmick's life. He was preparing for Eadie to repurpose the Masked Superstar hoods!!

OF COURSE, both me and Brody would post about Barry Darsow pitching Bill Eadie becoming Repo Man 2.

Hello longtime reader here on this board first time posting: I was wondering rumors for a Jerry Lawler vs Tenryu match at Wrestlemainia 9 were circulating in the dirt sheets around this time, this seemed like a random ass match to throw on a huge card like Wrestlemainia, And I thought with them brawling after being eliminated Mr.Perfect would end up wrestling Lawler. I guess they always say...Card subject to change.

 

[BUTT]

I just looked through some Observers from the time and Dave says that Vince held a press conference for Japanese press on 1/26 in Fresno announcing that Tenryu would be at Mania. And he worked the Superstars tapings beating Brooklyn Brawler but it didn't air. I couldn't find any mention in there of a match with Lawler.

Fake edit: It did air but only in Europe I guess

 

[JHawk]

I once emailed Dave about why Tenryu didn't show and he basically said the deal fell through.

No clue why Lawler didn't show though. He worked Nashville the day before and Memphis the day after but nothing the day of Mania

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

it’s probably just a creative has nothing for you situation. And tbf, RAW the night after WrestleMania was built around Lawler actually wrestling on WWF TV in a one on one match for the first time.


Granted, the first RAW after WrestleMania was approximately 10,000x less important than it would go on to be but still decent enough consolation. Better than what Bam Bam Bigelow and Kamala got for getting cut off the show.

Dude just said he wanted to see your face and neck smashed in front of his very eyes while full of joy and mirth. I'd spit on him too. Sadist.

Damn forgot the youngest daughter from the Nanny was in uhh, Mr. Nanny!

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

She certainly was typecast.

Was Brian Pillman an angry young man…because Hulk Hogan left wrestling for THIS?

 

[Valeyard]

Listen I don't care how shit that movie is, Sherman Hemsley and David Johansson are a fucking riot.

Was Brian Pillman an angry young man…because Hulk Hogan left wrestling for THIS?

Even though he was a heel ATT, I was definitely shocked to see Pillman referred to as angry in Fall of ‘93.

 

[Valeyard]

Also that movie is the debut of the Zodiac, which must mean that it is Ed Leslie's passion project as a character.

[Valeyard]

Is it unfair to say that the two month joshi invasion was the best women's division would be for at least another 20 years?

 

[SuperMachine#1]

If Vince didn't cut the women's division in 95 I would of loved to see the Jumping Bomb Angels return and wrestle with Kong,Bertha Faye,and Alundra Blaze. The Bomb Angels were way ahead of their time in their initial run in the WWF 87-88. They were exciting and doing moves that this 9 year old kid at the time was impressed with.

 

[Valeyard]

Bertha Faye is a name no one mentions when it comes to Vince fucking a talent up when she should be kinda high for the time and reputation.

Bret Hart to have name raised to rafters at Saddledome March 11

'To have my banner raised at the dome just speaks a lot to me of my life's work as a wrestler in this city and things that my father did and how fortunate I am to be celebrated the way I am in my home city.'

You know I thought I could have my name retired. I didn’t even need to play a team sport. I could be just like Billy Joel. Who’d he ever beat?

 

[BruiserBrody]

If I knew Disco Inferno was in the USWA 2 years before his WCW run, I've forgotten.

Polo and Sherri were an on screen item here too. That could have been a twist to Polo's WWF run.

As opposed to the Kliq, who were loaded on pain pills for the lulz.

Like to imagine the alternate universe where Crush slams Yokozuna on the USS Intrepid and we got this match at SummerSlam ‘93.

 

[Valeyard]

Wait those were rare tights? I feel like I've seen them a lot. More than the weird orange trimmed ones from Survivor Series '96.

I'll always defend Crush being the guy to slam Yokozuna, too. He could've made that work if only because he was a face already. Never getting a Bret/Luger blowoff still sucks, too. Should've swapped Luger and Bigelow's spots in KOTR at least.

 

[BruiserBrody]

But will we be able to understand anything he says!?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

He was on Gregory Iron’s podcast last year. His normal speaking voice is understandable.

Speaking of Ahmed…

Get your wallets ready, lads.

 

[BruiserBrody]

I wasn't expecting a murder story to be behind what robbed us of Typhoon's new generation resurgence.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

At least we got him grooving to Oscar’s rapping before he left.
