Beeker Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 To be honest, I'd be fine not knowing, and letting the wrestler have his secrecy. Hence, why my "spoiler" was kind of a joke. Just trying to have a bit of fun. DVDwarrior, I don't think you know what comedy is. Every comedy post you make on these boards I read as... wow... he doesn't know what humour is. Back on topic. * I watched Andre the Giant sell fear of a rubber snake that Jake Roberts tossed at him at a house show back in the day * The Godwinns once did karoake at a bar near the coleisum I forgot they worked at * Watching two orderlies taking Hakushi's staff away from and back to his corner was better than the match itself. * The Ding Dongs could not be pinned but could be submitted * Tyson Kidd once used 'rolling fisherman suplexes' as a small show I attended, leading me to quip, 'not every move is rollable.' * When I saw Davey Richards he bored me with his basic INTENSE moveset. * Rebecca Knoxx is the best diva ever * I've chatted with LuFisto, Nattie Neidhart and Cheerleader Melissa after a show. * Scotty Mac deserves better.

20LEgend Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Never knew their was an actual mystery surrounding who he was and as much as I want to know I like in a way that 'in this day and age' not alot of people know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 * CW Anderson was hired by the WWE to be part of their relaunched ECW brand. He was on the payroll for something like 6 months and was only used on television about once. * I was THERE. It was the only pro-wrestling show I've ever attended. http://prowrestling.wikia.com/wiki/August_22,_2006_ECW_results CM Punk beat him. * The WWE was in that same Wilkes-Barre arena the night Vince McMahon "died" in the limo explosion.

dvdWarrior Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 dvdWarrior, I don't think you know what comedy is. Every comedy post you make on these boards I read as... wow... he doesn't know what humour is. I see. No more comedy posts from me then. You could have said something sooner, I would have happily stopped at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Century Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I see. No more comedy posts from me then. You could have said something sooner, I would have happily stopped at any time. Beeker, that was rude. dvdWarrior, I actually laughed at that joke, so don't listen to Beeker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Beeker, that was rude. dvdWarrior, I actually laughed at that joke, so don't listen to Beeker. I agree I thought it was funny as well dvdWarrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slack Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 *Ric Flair has only executed one successful top rope maneuver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKid Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 *Hernandez was the last wrestler to be managed by Freddie Blassie. *Koko B. Ware's bird Frankie was killed in a 2002 house fire. *Japanese promoters originally created the Big Van Vader gimmick/mask for Jim Hellwig, the Ultimate Warrior. *"Rowdy" Roddy Piper was originally hired by the WWF to be a manager. *Ric Flair was adopted. *Konnan briefly appeared in the WWF as "Max Moon" in 1992. Konnan played the role of the man who hailed from "outer space" for a single WWF Superstars TV taping. The role was continued by Paul Diamond.

HughBatey4 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 *Ric Flair has only executed one successful top rope maneuver. Horribly incorrect. People like to claim that, but back in the day, he went to the top rope and successfully executed moves often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningHamster Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 * Dawn Marie is actively part of the wrestling community, and runs the charity "Wrestler Rescue". Also, she was engaged to Simon Diamond at one point. Interesting sidenote to this one, Wrestlers Rescue is not a registered charity and Dawn Marie was under investigation by the FBI for pretty much not using the funds collected to rescue any wrestlers. Steve Williams is one example of a guy who was supposed to benefit their fundraising but never recieved the voicebox thing he kind of needed to help him speak during his battle with throat cancer.

Personally I think there's no substance to those claims, personally. I think Dawn is a person perfectly capable of supporting herself without scam the business that gave her so much over the years. If an investigation proves me wrong so be it but I'd be utterly shocked. * Raven worked for the WWF before ever joining ECW. He was a manager known as Johnny Polo, something ECW fans would later chant at him during the early stages of the Raven character (also occasionally when he return from WCW, which was pretty stupid considering how dead the joke was at that point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dawn Marie is a no good scumbag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have thought those guys would be the biggest names in the biz less than 5 years later. It's amazing to think how much the landscape of the US pro wrestling scene changed from 1992-1997, from 1997-2002, and then consider just how little it's changed since 2002.

BHK1978 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 And before that he was in Global as Scott Anthony and before that he worked in Portland and CWA as Scotty the Body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 And if I'm not mistaken, Raven was actually based off Johnny Polo. The history of Raven was that of a spoiled rich kid, a la Polo, who was neglected or somesuch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
