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.

Jordan 07-29-2011 07:31 PM

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.

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.

Jordan 07-29-2011 07:37 PM

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.

Anybody Thrilla 07-29-2011 07:40 PM

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,

Corporate CockSnogger 07-29-2011 07:42 PM

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

Hade Vansen?

Damn you, CSL...

CSL 07-29-2011 07:44 PM

no idea what he's been up to since, figured he'd have come back "home" but he's not working shows over here

Anybody Thrilla 07-29-2011 07:47 PM

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

Anybody Thrilla 07-29-2011 07:51 PM

Hardbody Steve?

Jordan 07-29-2011 07:51 PM

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.

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.

It was a work based on his real problems.

And no idea, be very very surprised if it was pot though.

Corporate CockSnogger 07-29-2011 07:55 PM

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

CSL 07-29-2011 07:56 PM

2 and a half years, dunno sounds about right

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.

Corporate CockSnogger 07-29-2011 08:00 PM

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?

CSL 07-29-2011 08:02 PM

He trained with them and Rhyno at Sully's/Ron Hutchinson's school, toured the Canadian indies together etc

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

Anybody Thrilla 07-29-2011 08:16 PM

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

Dusty Rhodes in the nWo? No.

loopydate 07-29-2011 08:36 PM

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.
