TL posted:Similarly, the Raw that had the hour long Michaels-Cena match was also advertising a Randy Orton-Edge match that never happened as the previous match “ran long”. I love the rare occasions they do that, it helps with the presentation of it as an actual sport. I think I remember Edge and Orton then using that as storyline motivation to put on a pretty great match the next week(?) which wouldn't have made as much sense otherwise since they were buddies at the time and didn't really have any incentive to go all-out against each other until HBK/Cena got everybody fired up.

Tato posted:Are the tape libraries for USWA Memphis still in legal limbo? I know it's a complete mess since there were so many ownership shares in the company that changed hands so many times as well as some bankruptcies in there. Memphis TV never ran with a copyright notice at the end of shows, and Jarrett never registered the shows with the U.S. copyright office. That means that everything before March 1, 1989 is public domain: https://copyright.cornell.edu/publicdomain This is why Lawler, despite his recurring claims to the contrary, has no chance of selling anything to WWE: Not only would they be purchasing no copyright to the best stuff, but there's no real master library to go with it. Even the tapes that Lawler saved over the years is pretty minimal and eventually ended up in the hands of a picker in Jonesboro after Randy Hales got rid of them. For March '89 through the end, it's trickier. WWE appears to own the rights of Jarrett-era Dallas footage and the Tennessee/Kentucky tapings they did while out of Dallas in late 1990, though it's unclear who they bought that and the GWF footage from. (There was no announcement publicly, nor a note in the WWE SEC filings.) For the main Memphis shows, that's where everything is really in limbo, especially from January 1990-on when they used the USWA name. There's a belief that Lawler only sold "the USWA" to the Selkers, but I dunno if that's true. And whoever put USWA era stuff on Amazon Prime Video appears to just be a random who got it past their screening. As for master tapes, Bill Behrens has some from that era as well as safety copies since he syndicated the TV, and that may be all that's out there. Basically, pre-March '89 you can do whatever you want without restriction, and from then on you probably wouldn't be bothered by anyone but someone still may own the rights. And if you're selling stuff at a show where Lawler is working, he'll probably get angry at you, especially if his picture is on the cover, but he's likely unable to actually do anything. There's also the whole matter of the Highspots/Cory Maclin/Lawler thing, which...just read this: http://web.archive.org/web/20101227...stling-footage/

So has Lawler just always been a scumbag? The more time goes on, it seems all he ever had going for him was the Kaufman feud and his initial run with JR on commentary.

Lawler was a great wrestler who worked a limited style to great effect for a long time, and he has also always been a scumbag. Rule 1 of the 2010s Big in the 70s? Probably a sex pest.

I wasn't even watching at the time but every time I see reference to the HHH/Booker T feud for WMXIX I get upset all over again. Has whoever was responsible for writing Booker to lose that match (I assume Hunter, given the time period) expressed regret about it in interviews in the years since?

I can't remember if Prichard was on the creative team at the time but he expressed no regrets on the Conrad podcast. Also argued that HHH's promos weren't racist.

He's explicitly said that while he was in the ROOM while they were booking that match, he didn't say anything!! Meanwhile, Booker wasn't allowed to sit in.

He's legitimately a big fan. But honestly, his biggest and most successful role was Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore, and he's probably better remembered by wrestling fans than by anybody else. Doing some indie matches and podcast interviews is probably not a waste of time for him as far as publicity is concerned.

I've been reading more and more stuff about USWA and am interested in them since they lasted so long, even though the last few years of flea market shows was really sad. I guess I'll just go watch on Youtube and Amazon Prime, was hoping some good quality master tapes had a chance of getting preserved on the Network. Alas.

Do your favorite wrestlers actually like each other or did they like each other(if they're dead)? All the people I know and like hate each other's guts.

The rumor is that Slaughter lost the GI Joe deal because of that angle, but I've never heard him say that in an interview. He's definitely said he left because of the GI Joe deal. He appeared in episodes after he turned heel, but they may have been in the can before the turn. I believe all he's said is he lost it when he returned to the WWF for the same reasons he left when he got it. MassRafTer fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Jan 16, 2019 |

If Slaughter lost the deal when he returned in 1990, I'm assuming the toyline was kind of waning in popularity as well at that point. I wonder if they also might have wanted to save money at Hasbro at the time because of that so letting him go was a smarter decision than keeping him on.
