Has there ever been a set-up where opposing wrestlers come out of opposite sides of the arena? I imagine it's more work than usual, and you'd need another screen for video, but I was thinking I'd like to see something like that.

Maybe my mind's playing tricks on me, but I think I've seen that done in Japan. And Saturday Night Slam Masters, of course.

Which sums Mid-South up really

Wasn't it the inVasion PPV where the WWF came out of the right side and WCW/ECW the left?

Alright so I've seen a few Japanese wrestling matches that either are comedy matches or serious ones where after a few fast pace moves or some other spots every one in the match, including the ref; spin, hop in the air, and act surprised or ashamed. Basically what is the origin of that comedy spot/what is it supposed to signal, as it sounded like it started in Michinoku Pro from the commentary on this one Chikara match involving Dick Togo, Jinsei Shinzaki, and Great Sasuke.

Some time ago someone posted a video of highlights/compilation of a mexican wrestler who did this dangerous running suicide dive but he threw himself with his back and back of the head so he never faced them. Who was it and does anyone have the YouTube link? What ever happend to WWE's old head of security Jim Dotson? He had a really brief beef with Steve Blackman but then he vanished.

Why did every WCW performer, whether the move was in their arsenal or not, always attempt to powerbomb Kidman? this belongs in the Rhetorical Wrestling Questions thread, but this conversation came up between friends last night and the memory was cracking me up.

Again, that's why I said rhetorical, the actual obvious answer wasn't needed. I just thought people might like to laugh at the memory of guys attempting power bombs when they normally never did (I think even Hogan tried it). FishBulb's answer is the best

The weird thing is Kidman actually took a lot of powerbombs. He just reversed a lot of them, too.

Well, the reverse STO, for one. (It is one of the funniest things in wrestling to me that a simple osotogari throw is called the "Space Tornado Ogawa.")

Well, they're still widely regarded as some of the best tag team matches. And some of the best TLC matches.

For people that can speak Spanish and watch wrestling. Are the Spanish announce team still shocked and dismayed when their table gets destroyed, or are do they take a "ugh, not again" sort of approach to it after all these years?

VogeGandire posted:"What came first? Jake Roberts' nickname, or Damien?" Thats surely not a rhetorical question; it was the nickname because his limbs were so long. I dont know if he started carrying an actual snake off his own back, or if that was a "Ricky the dragon is a literal firebreathing dragon" McMahon invention, but it worked so fair enough. I was always just glad McMahon latched onto the dragon part instead of trying to make him some sort of steamboat-willy type character.
