On the other hand, CZW did a show in the middle of a field and when it got dark they had people park their cars around the ring and switch their headlights on.

Has there ever been any other big incidents like the Montreal Screwjob where the promoter screwed over one participant by arranging a "secret" finish? I would imagine this happened a decent number of times back in the Territories but dunno if it happens in any big places or on camera.

How reliable is New Japan World for those with less than stellar internet connections? Netflix, WWE Network etc usually work fine if that is any indication.

I've had no problems, but I've heard of problems occurring specifically for people in Europe during live streaming that seemed to affect nobody else, so that's something to consider based on where you are. When I was in the UK, I had no issues watching live on my parents' horrific Internet connection though.

Why isn’t Adam Cole recognized as NXT tag champ anymore? He was, but now he’s not. Same with Killian Dane in Sanity.

Henri DeGlane bit (or had someone else bite) himselfbetween falls of a 2/3 falls match with Ed Lewis to double cross Lewis and win the title via DQ (biting.) Most historians believe he colluded with the promoter and the MAC. A minority belief is that it was a planned finish so both guys could promote themselves as champion. This of course happening in Montreal! There are a few examples of promoters paying off top shooters to double cross weaker non wrestler champions in the 20s and 30s. Wayne Munn being the most famous example.

The guy who invented the Irish Whip was so afraid of double crosses he'd no show. (Which was what the promoters wanted and why they'd spread the rumors.)

This is a god-tier stupid spot to do. It's totally unsafe, you can't even see it on camera, and it's on a show no one cares about.

Davros1 posted:It was absolutely Foley's idea to get thrown from the Cell He was talking about the chokeslam through the cage from the top. It was supposed to be the cage roof popping at one end, and Foley basically rolling and pratfalling into the ring, instead the cage roof gave way entirely. Then a chair fell down and whacked Mick in the head.

Still, suggesting getting thrown off the roof of a cage was dumb as gently caress. There was nothing safe about it. If that one announcer had reacted quick enough to move that moniter, Foley could've broken his back Davros1 fucked around with this message at 21:44 on May 12, 2018 |
