He worked some matches on I believe metal or velocity, never anything significant though. There's a match with him and Hurricane on youtube.
 
Hey, just wanted to know what was the reason they released Goldberg from WWE? Also, I read that The Dynamite Kid can't even speak the name of Davey Boy Smith because he hates him so much, what's the heat between them?
 
I love watching AWA classics on espn. Brings back great memories since I was in 7th grade when it came out.. My question is who owns those late 80"s seasons? I thought the wwe bought up the AWA. I dont see any WWE logos in the corner or after the credits. I would think they would want everyone to know they own the AWA.
 
As far as anyone knows did the WCW ever try publically bringing in the WWF/E top draw superstars such as Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, The Rock, Triple H etc. during the Monday Night Wars, and if so which ones and what were their offers?

Goldberg left the WWE after his contract expired to pursue other interests. Dynamite Kid is probably mad at the British Bulldog because Bulldog left the team when they were working in Japan to return back to the WWE.

The WWE does own all of the AWA footage but in the mid-80s the AWA used to have a weekly show on ESPN so the ESPN networks are able to show any of the episodes that aired back in the 80's on ESPN.

As far as I know the only thing they ever did publicly was when Eric Bischoff challenged Vince Mcmahon to come and fight him at one of WCW's pay per views. There were probably some things said that made people believe they were referring to some WWE stars but they never came out and used any names publicly.
 
What was the deal with the Brody trial, i know Atlas never came foward and whatnot.
but jeez, how does a guy get off like that.

also, who knows what happened to Hayabusa after having his mask melted to his face?
after versing Funk/Pogo?
 
uhh i may have missed something big, or a name change or something, but what ever happened to the 1-2-3 kidd my gosh, i love watching his matches when they have him on wwe 24/7
 
I'm hoping this isn't a serious question, but he went to WCW where he was called Syxx and then went back to WWF as X-Pac. Then he was released, went to TNA for awhile and is now in Mexico.
 
The 123 Kid is actually Sean Waltman who has wrestled under the names: X-Pac, 1-2-3, Kid, 6-Pac, The Lightning Kid, Kamikaze Kid, Cannonball Kid, The Kid, Sean Waltman, Syxx, Syxx-Pac, and now X-Pack in AAA in Mexico.
 
Has there ever been a PPV that's ended with an angle istead of a match. I dont mean a heel turn or something happening after a match. I mean has there been an advertised angle that's happened at the end of a show?

I know im late on this, but i actually just saw a ppv that did this yesterday, at the jappan ppv when they united the wcw belt/japan belt, it saw the show ending in ric flair taking his belt back during an interview screaming that (i completly forgot his name) it was still his belt, and if he wants it he can come to wcw and get it (the jappanees wrestler had cheated and thrown flair over the top rope and the ref saw it was a huge angle, i really got into it)

once again, i know im very late on this, the question grabbed my attention and i just remember watching it.
 
Back in the late 90's there was a show broadcast on tv called 'Secrets Of Pro Wrestling Revealed'. If anyone remembers it, it was ridiculous. The creators of the show acted like nobody knew wrestling was staged and that they were revealing huge 'secrets'. Anyway there was a group of wrestlers on the show who were masked 'to hide their true identity' so they wouldnt get in trouble i presume.

Does anyone have any idea who these wrestlers are? There was a rumour back in the day that one of them was the Road Dogg, and after viewing the video again on Youtube, one of the masked men looks a lot like Dustin Rhodes. Anyway, does anyone know?
 
Doubtful, both at the time were under contract I believe. Working so many dates, I'd think it would be hard for either to disapear to film this. Lou Albano was the main guy on the show, I wouldn't be surprised if the masked wrestlers were simply indy guys. I'll check on it.
 
Should Ric Flair have retired? Here's where I get this, I just read on this site a post by someone(not gonna say who) that he didn't think Flair should have retired. I don't know about you guys, but I'm glad he retired. Here you have a 58 yr old man who's muscles have turned to mostly flab. Not that his inring ability was bad or anything cause it never was. It's just that when you've been in the business that long and you are that old your body becomes more fragile and more prone to injury. I'm no doctor but if he had tried to go for a few more yrs cause he wouldn't have gone to part time, he could have hurt himselfand that injury could be life threatening or atleast career threatening. So really he would have had to retire any way so really by staying in the business he's just prolonging the inevidable. So what I want to know is, what do you guys think, should he have retired or not?
 
Closed questions only.

These are questions that require you answer from a pre-defined list of responses. Yes, no, quick example and so on.
 
As Jake has pointed out, this is a question/answer thread. By all means, find another thread about ric flair and voice your opinion in there. I'm pretty sure there'll be one around somewhere, if not use rep comment and ask me to make one if you really want

This was in 1991, probably March. WCW was in the process of splitting with the remaining members of the NWA Board and was no longer using their talent on their US shows. Here, several WCW stars went to Japan for a stadium show, attended by more than 50,000 ppl, headlined by Flair defending the WCW/NWA title against a top japanese star (name escapes, maybe Tatsumi Jujinami???). In any event, in order to make Fujinami's appearance in the US a few mths later meaningful, the match had a scew job ending with Fuj getting a pin after back flipping Flair over the top rope, an automatic DQ in WCW at the time. Fuj was declared the new champ, only to have to the decission reversed, leading to Flair storming the press conference, taking back his belt, and heading home to the US.

In Japan this was huge because Flair was one of the most popular US wrestlers who toured there. In the states, where Japanese stars usually are not as over, it wasn't a big hit with fans. WCW rarely made mention of the controversy, even when Fuj came to the US that summer to finish the feud. In Japan, Fuj was portrayed as NWA champ but Flair was still WCW champ due to the DQ rule. WCW never acknowledged as much here, they simply started referring to their World Title as the WCW Title, no mention of the NWA name, basically usurping that title as their own.

Flair won the re-match in ST Petersbug, Fl, to a mostly pro-Flair crowd who cheered for him despite him being a bad guy because Fuj was looked at as the "invader" from another country. In the US the match was quicly forgotten, another successful Flair title defense while in Japan it was stated Flair re-uinified the WCW and NWA titles.

A few months later Flair left for WWE, Luger became WCW champion, the NWA brand name was mostly ignored, and the whole trans-atlantic fued was
forgotten.
 
What was the deal with the Brody trial, i know Atlas never came foward and whatnot.
but jeez, how does a guy get off like that.

There were no witnesses willing to come forward and say what happened, so there was only the word of Huertas himself, and he said he acted in self defence. No one refuted that, so he got away with it.


also, who knows what happened to Hayabusa after having his mask melted to his face?
after versing Funk/Pogo?

He carried on wrestling till 2001, and then he retired and became a singer. Apparently he normally appears in a wheelchair, which isn't very surprising to be honest.

When trawling youtube ages ago, I found a video of Robocop resuing Sting from the Horsmen in WCW. I reckon it must be about 1990. I was just wondering how this angle came to be? How did Robocop enter WCW, why did he side with Sting and how did he leave?

You can see "Sting and his buddy Robocop" here.
 
It was really just an idea that someone in WCW thought to be good to promote the movie Robocop 2, or capitalize on its success. Nothing ever came of it, just a one shot deal. He sided with Sting because he was the face because he was a hero.
 
hi people, in the latest madden column it mentions a DDMe, who is this??
