The Barrel Bottom of Relevance
 

Post something wrestling related in this thread that you either:

A) Hardly remember, but you think other TPWW members may be able to "FILL YOU IN" on...

or

B) Remember quite clearly, but you doubt many others remember.


It could be a wrestler (Alex "The Pug" Porteau) or an event (Raw Bowl)...anything really.

Have fun.

You know how Zack Ryder used to wear those one-legged tights? I will give a nice, shiny reputation point to the first person to name a guy in WCW who used to wear the same style of trunks.

Gonna guess EZ Money he wore some gay ass tights in WCW...

Not who I was thinking of. Did he wear those too?

HINT: He was (probably still is) black.

Scorpio!

He had some funky tights, but I don't think he had the one-legged ones, did he? I'm thinking of someone entirely more obscure.

Yeah I'm wrong for Scorp... I keep scanning my brain for WCW Saturday Night and Worldwide lol....

You're definitely getting warm with this line of thinking.

I can't find a picture of the actual tights, but here's the answer for anyone who doesn't want to guess:

CSL clearly cheated, but I will rep him anyway,

Who was the guy they were going to bring in to feud with Undertaker straight off the bat about 5 years ago maybe.

They gave him promos on Smackdown. I think he was bald and maybe there was two others coming in with him in a sort of modern day ministry stable. Don't think he ever had a match. I can just vaguely remember it.

That does sound vaguely familiar, but I can't think of a name.

Hade Vansen?

Damn you, CSL...

THIS guy was going to feud with The Undertaker?

Weird.

You know, I always thought that Just Joe was an interesting gimmick. He would just go around backstage and spread false rumors about other wrestlers just to piss everyone off. I would have liked to have seen that develop more.

wait, i remember harbody harrison as being a white guy. who was i actually thinking of then? he was short and either bald or had short blonde hair. hmmmm

Hardbody Steve?

Can someone explain to me the realty and the storyline of Scott Alcohol (WCW). He would come out wasted drunk and get squashed or not even have a match, very weird. I thought it was a work at the time but now I'm not so sure.

Also, when the Giant came to the ring smoking, was he smoking joints? Because they were mostly hand rolled.

Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker?

http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.co...s/sarge/03.jpg

no, he didn't have shoulder straps

this may be unanswerable as i'm going completely off memory from ~15 years ago

Not sure about the Scott AlcoHall bit, but they were just cigarettes for The Giant. I remember him always instructing Vincent to 'hold his cigarette' before each match, then winning the match before the thing even burned out.

Wikipedia is saying the Hade Vansen thing was in January 2009. Surely it wasn't that recent was it?

Totally agree. And Joe E. Legend wasn't half bad in the ring, either. Not going to give you a five-star match every night, but he could go, which would have helped the eventual payoff if they hadn't just dropped the whole thing.

I thought it was a lot longer ago.

Promo on youtube agreeing with the late 08/early 09 timeline. Guess it was then.

Wasn't he friends with Edge and Christian backstage?

Mordecai!

mike sanders, that's who i was thinking of. google saves the day

"Above Average" Mike Sanders

Remember WCW's Lethal Lottery? or when Dusty Rhodes was in the nWo?

Lethal Lottery, vaguely. I remember Big Van Vader and Cactus Jack having something to do with it.

Dusty Rhodes in the nWo? No.

I only remembered Dusty in nWo because I just watched Superbrawl VIII when he came out with the Outsiders for their match against the Steiners. I had no recollection of him being there, but there he was.

And I liked Lethal Lottery when I was a kid. But looking back, it was kind of a silly idea.

I remember a guy that was doing security ringside in wwf during the attitude era, the guy was pretty big, was he a former wrestler or indy guy ??

I remember Dusty in the NWO only because of when he got kicked out or "fired" by Eric Bischoff.

Bischoff: "You're fired!"

Dusty: "Oh I'm fahhhhhd! I'm fahhhhhhhhd!"

I remember Jericho at one point in WCW had 2 guys as his security and know one was Ralphus but no clue who the other guy was or how long he was shown on tv with Ralphus.

He shows up during the skit where Jericho gets lost while mocking Goldberg's entrance but can;t remember any other time he showed up besides in pictures.

Wasn't his name Jericholic Ninja?

Wow, totally forgot about Jim Dotson until that picture.

I remember back on an episode of Superstars in 1991 when Tom Stone the jobber beat Jake the Snake by dq because Jake wouldn't stop beating on him. This was during the feud with Rick Martel when he got sprayed in the eye with arrogance.

I doubt he ever got a pony.

anyway..

This is an awesome thread...how about Papa Shango using his voodoo to make the Warrior sick?

How about Jamison?

<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pM6607zqpRg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

wade barrett was there as well

You know who was really great and then just completely fucking disappeared?

Blitzkrieg.

<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NK3KZQsFLSg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Also Juvi on the rare occasion when he wasn't high out of his mind.

Yeah, Blitzkrieg was fucking incredible. I've got some awesome matches of his in the 1999 Nitro's pack.

Anyone remember Jim Cornette debuting the tag team known as the Arabian Butchers (aka The Headhunters) on an episode of Raw in 1997?

They attacked LOD after a match and were never seen again

I saw Joe E Legend at an indy event in 2002, he went mad heel when the crowd realised who he was and started chanting "You're Just Joe" halfway through his match. It was beautiful.

Salvatore Sincere

I remember him being a huge jobber, then turning face after Marc Mero made fun of him for being a huge jobber and started calling him by his real name, Tom Brandi.

During my picture search here, I uncovered that Tom Brandi also worked at some point under The Patriot gimmick. WWE's Patriot was Dell Wilkes, though. Did Brandi just take the gimmick on the indy circuit or what?

I swore for the longest time that I imagined this. Nice to know I'm not going crazy.

Blitzkrieg didn't disappear, he was just injured all the fucking time.

Tom Brandi was quite good and IMO would have "made it" had he "made it" about 3 years earlier, or was able to come up with a relevant gimmick.

I always enjoyed his matches on Superstars and thought he was a hard hitter with realistic moves.

Also as has been mentioned by Taker it Easy about a month ago...

Remember when Roddy Piper told Goldust on Raw before WM 12 "IM A LESBIAN" ....

That statement put confusion in my head til this very day. Does that mean... I am a lesbian?

What happened to Charlie Minn?

I preferred the version with The Jackyl.

Blitz was awesome. He retired after WCW closed down and is a teacher or a computer programmer or something now.

What I don't get is that Blitz is nothing more than a spot monkey, but everyone here rips on Jack Evans, his predecessor, who is considerably better in the ring than Blitzkrieg ever was.

/IWC

South African Truth Commission. Never was really over, though Kurrgan was a spectacle. Recon and Sniper worked an indy fed in Orangeburg for a bit a few years ago.

Waylon Mercy was a great character. Remember him? Too bad he didn't last

Which one was Bull Buchanan? Recon or Sniper?

Chavo's horse Pepe`!

Pepe is top of the barrel quality.

kinda miss the oddities

minus the insane clown pussies, of course

<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xbrEbWNl39E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I saw this fucker in USWA for a few months, and was looking forward to seeing what he would do in WWF. The answer to that question was... Nothing!

Lives are gonna be...in Waylon Mercy's hands. Know what I mean?

Hade Vansen seemed pretty badass

kind of bummed he never showed up

Yet

WWE's really getting serious about long term booking

VANSEN: I'm finally here to challenge you at Wrestlemania, Undertaker!

TAKER: ......um, what?

Thank you. Wasn't he the one who also had a promo with some blue chains as props?

Kwang was pretty bitchin too!

Remember when TNA was gonna debut a character named Andromeda?

http://i42.tinypic.com/33xd8ab.jpg

Was really going to be a homosexual man in drag.

Who was Shawn O'Haire's manager during his very forgettable run in WWE? And who did he beat in his first ppv match in WWE?

WHo debut once,and only once as the character "Seven" in the late stages of WCW?

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper
Don't remember. Hogan, maybe

Dustin Rhodes

Wait, no, it was Rikishi that O'Haire beat, because I remember being very impressed that he could hit his finisher.

Or do you mean his tag match at InVasion. Now I've confused myself...

So was Savio Vega. Anybody remember his Carribean Strap Match with Steve Austin at what I want to say was 'In Your House: Beware of Dog'?

Actually, the power went out at that PPV. They continued the show live, but the feed was lost to paying viewers, so they had 'Beware of Dog 2' for free. The power went out during Savio Vega's entrance.

I just made myself a little sad upon realizing that I know that.

I was at InVasion in the 9th row. Palumbo and O'Haire v. Edge and Christian, right? This was the same night that RVD made his WW(E) "debut" (if you don't count the mini-ECW invasion that happened circa 1997 when Sabu jumped off the "R" in the word "RAW" onto Flash Funk or someone) against Jeff Hardy and Steve Austin joined the Alliance in the ten-man tag main event.

Other matches included Earl Hebner v. Nick Patrick and a tag team Bra and Panties match where Trish Stratus and Lita defeated Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler.

Just in case anyone was wondering.

how do you have a child/sex with women?

If I recall he lost at InVasion

It probably has to do with looking nothing like you.

I'm sure it has something to do with daddy issues as well

also your magnificent black cock probably

All good answers

Palumbo and O'Haire went against the APA in the Invasion ppv while Edge and Chritsian wrestled Lance Storm and Mike Awesome. I had to look up to see who E&C wrestled but remembered the other tag match because of both teams being tag champions and the hype promos for it.


I remember one of the In Your House ppvs had a lead up on RAW where the WWF would call people to be contestants which ended up the chance of winning a house if your key matched a certain lock. Although it could have been money as the prize instead and not a house.

Sabu more "Fell" than "jumped," and it was onto Team Taz during the Taz vs. Mikey Whipwreck match. Other matches included Little Guido (I think the FBI was with him, but I can't recall) vs. Big Stevie Cool (complete with the bWo and a Raven cameo) & Tommy Dreamer vs. Bubba Ray Dudley (which featured D-Von and Sign Guy in a post-match attack and then Sandman making the save). Also, Saturn and Kronus hit Total Elimination on a ring announcer or someone.

Remember when Dusty was in ECW at the end? I remember him teaming with Tommy Dreamer and Sandman...

Dusty Rhodes vs Steve Corino

Steve Corino.
