That's probably the best revival-era ECW match. It's wicked fun, the crowd are SUPER into it and Burke's running knee to Sabu THROUGH a table is such a ridiculous spot.

Counterpoint:

It's weird how Sunny looks entirely average now, but she used to be basically a sex symbol.

That's from a few years ago. She lost a lot of weight and looks good again.

I've always been curious how dark matches like this wind up a.) getting out and b.) why they're recorded by the hard cam almost like a TV match.

During RAW and Smackdown tapings you used to be able to intercept the raw feed that was being transmitted back to Titan Towers.

That's how we got gems like this:

I didn't watch the whole thing, because I'm not watching an eleven minute Scott Hall promo in 2011, but he at least is coherent here. Walks (stumbles) out on his own accord and while he does need a little assistance getting onto the apron, it's not like he was being propped up while in the ring. And the bits of speech I heard weren't slurred or anything.

So, at least that one show a while back was just a scare and COULD have truly been due to his actual medication.

Or maybe rehab worked...until his next inevitable relapse.

quote:

Hulk Hogan THREATENS Lawsuit Against Warrior!

47 minutes ago by TMZ Staff


Hulk Hogan is not taking the bashing from The Ultimate Warrior lying down, telling TMZ he plans on filing a lawsuit against the Warrior for "spewing sewage."

The Warrior went crazy on a 7-minute video tirade, saying, among other things, that Hulk is a cocaine user who had an open marriage and encouraged ex-wife Linda Hogan to have sex with other wrestlers.

For starters, Hulk says the allegation of drug use is "a blatant lie."

As for claims about Linda, Hulk says, "None of that ever happened. This guy is out of his mind."

Hulk says he's tried ignoring The Ultimate Warrior, to no avail. So now Hulk has gotten his lawyer involved and plans on dropping the hammer -- in court.

"BOMBSHELL TONIGHT, ULTIMATE WARRIOR REVEALS THAT HULK HOGAN HAD AN AFFAIR WITH A VALET. IS THIS A PARKING VALET OR ANOTHER CRAZY WRESTLING TERM?"

"Joining us now, someone who had legal troubles with Mr. Warrior before, Lowtax!"

This must happen.

The whole "Showdown at Shea" show with Foley/Cole on commentary aired on 24/7 a few years back.

Most of it's on Youtube:

EDIT:

In the Hogan/Andre video, Foley mentioned wrestling Andre in Japan right before he died, and sure enough, one of those matches is on Youtube:

Andre is so hunched over at this point it looks like he's the same height as Foley.

Even worse...Andre wrestling in Japan just 6 weeks before he died:

I never thought Botchamania 100 was going to happen (never mind 181) and ‘quality’ control’ is something I try to maintain, even if it doesn’t always work out. But I don’t know how long I can keep on churning these out and keep them at an acceptable quality. The easiest way to assess the quality of the videos and see if Botchamania is indeed burning out/jumping sharks is to check feedback right? Shame every video gets positive feedback. Even the poo poo ones.

Basically all this drivel amounts to: Botchamania will end. Maybe soon, maybe later. It won’t be due to a shortage of botches, as new ones are made on a weekly basis. It’ll be due to me losing the ability to care, or not having the time to watch God knows how much wrestling on a weekly basis.

Until then, a new Botchamania or two will be out soon.

Bill Goldberg says he's "probably" wrestling again this year:

I don't see WWE taking him back, so TNA maybe?

Goldberg-Joe would be somewhat interesting. He also has never faced Kurt Angle.

New Japan has started airing matches from their May US tour on Japanese TV:

5/14/2011 - Day 2 - Basketball City, NYC

Prince Devitt vs. Low Ki

5/15/2011 - Day 3 - ECW Arena

Jushin Liger vs. Kenny Omega

Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi vs Low Ki & Homicide

Davey Richards vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi

MVP vs. Toru Yano (Intercontinental Title Tournament Final)

Rhino vs. Togi Makabe (Street Fight)

So even if JAPW flakes out and never releases these shows on DVD, we'll get it this way.

Was it just me, or was the finish of that match kinda awkward and messed up? I know that both Saint and Kidd are no spring chickens, but it just seemed weird, but the crowd went along with it, so it didn't detract from the match.

I think Saint was supposed to schoolboy Kidd, but he wasn't in position for it.
