Wrestlers mentioned to enter a territory that never did
I'm finishing watching USWA 1990 and in October, they had a top 10 list with guys like Dr. Death Steve Williams and Ricky Steamboat to challenge Jerry Lawler for his Unified title. To my Knowledge, they never wrestled in USWA. Dick Murdoch was also teased to team with the Dundees in a feud with the Gilberts but that never happened. either. What are some examples of guys being mentioned on tv as coming into a promotion that never happened?

[1995-03-25-USWA-TV] Interview: Wolfie D
JC's neck brace is ridiculous. Kinda funny to see Wolfie and Bill together especially after what happened later in the year.

[1995-03-25-WWF-Superstars] Bret Hart and Hakushi
I don't get this angle at all. Why do they think Bret hates Japanese people? And I can't believe the camera guy totally missed Hakushi's awesome moonsalt from the stag to the floor.

The joys of Memphis wrestling
What about Beau James promotion in Kingsport TN? I'm not sure if he's still got local tv but the promotion does have weekly shows on Youtube and they have been around for over 20 years doing Memphis type shows.

Massively hyped and then buried at the event
The New Fabs in Memphis. Hell the New Rock N Roll Express with Cousin Jason Gibson in Power Pro.

FCW 2012: The dedicated thread
At tonight's FCW show, the mood seemed to be positive. I think they have enough guys that can split between both Florida and CT.I talked to someone that is pretty good friends with Steve Keirn and she said that the plan isn't to close down FCW. They should put the show on Youtube like NXT and Superstars. They already got shows well into May including one back in Orlando on May 18th with Christian.

FCW 2012: The dedicated thread
I'm guessing they canceled the Brighthouse show cause it cost too much. They were probably paying for time. It should be interesting what happens if Dave is right. I'm guessing some guys will quit right away cause they don't want to move. Will they move guys like Ambrose, Rollins, Cesaro and Hero straight to the main roster or move them to CT?

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
I don't get why they would want a new tv outlet? I guess they could try and get on the old Sunshine Network that is probably in more homes than Brighthouse Sports Network. Tomorrow's show in Orlando should be interesting to see the morale of the guys.

[1995-03-21-JWP-Dead Heat] Mayumi Ozaki & Cutie Suzuki & Candy Okutsu & Sumiyo Toyama vs Dynamite Kansai & Devil Masami & Hikari Fukuoka & Hiromi Yagi
This was way too much to follow. That might not be a bad thing. What's the story behind it? I'm with Loss that the 1 count thing was kinda nice. Why did they have to do a regular tag after the elimination thing?

[1995-03-21-AJW-Wrestling Queendom: Success] Manami Toyota & Blizzard Yuki vs Kyoko Inoue & Takako Inoue
The ref in this is just the worst. I know he's done it before the the slow as hell near fall is annoying. Like he goes "1,2.......3". And he does it during every pinfall. Is the Yuki gimmick supposed to be like Eric Young's "Super Eric" without the superpowers? She wasn't very good at all here. I did like Takako kneeing Toyota right in the head while having her in a tombsone.

He actually lost weight about a year ago but seemed to gain it back. The only reason he was brought back from AAA is he was sponsored by a big Mexican company.

Poor Rob Naylor and Steve Keirn. I liked FCW but it's not shocking this happened.

Some of the guys are injured. But you are right, they will need to cut some guys soon. They just cut 4 guys a month ago. Probably another 5 will be cut after Mania.

Seeing Taker dressed normally out of gimmick is just weird.

[1995-03-19-WCW-Uncensored] Hulk Hogan vs Vader (Strap)
This is awful awful stuff. First, Why does Jimmy Hart come out so early? Shouldn't he have come out later if he was tied up? The Ultimate Surprise thing was sad. I guess people thought it was actually Warrior? And why does the Hogan dragging Flair thing count if the ref isn't even around? Just bad. Also watching the main made me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGwrrFV5DN4...nyVLp0UV4kAOGk=
