Oh man I loved this match. I think I saw the full version once. Bellemo was surprisingly good, and Andre rules in tag bouts. I remember Buddy being the standout in the match. I saw this one ages ago on a CHV WWF Most Unusual Matches comp and since then have been trying to remember who all was in it.

Was Bison Kimura always missing a front tooth and I failed to notice it, or did it get knocked out in this match?

That sounds awesome, gotta try and track down that promo Don't think it was a promo, I believe it was during a match. I think it was in Memphis, Kerry got DQed for using a piledriver, Lawler said, "Hey, don't they have a rule in World Class where you lose the title on a DQ?" And Kerry replied, "That is true, but we also don't have any wimp rules like no piledrivers."

It did for Rose and Summers, but that was only for certain types of countouts.

I thought that was Rob "Sgt. Slaughter" Remus, but wikipedia says you are correct.

Vladimir was the Snakes On A Train version of Nikita. Not even close to Nikita's physique and Nikita never had all that body hair (at least not in the ring). Ivan was pretty much wrestling for two.

Scorching promo. I remember watching it and seeing this skinny guy with the goofball haircut and horn rimmed glasses and thought, "How was this guy the top heel?" Then he started talking and got concerned that he was going to crawl through the screen and give me what for. That good.

OK, mine is a bit complicated. Initially when I started getting comps, I would watch a disc here and a disc there. Then I got organized and started watching sets from beginning to end. Then I got so many comps piling up that it was going to take forever before I got to them, so I took a variation on goodhelmet's suggestion of watching a different comp each day of the week by setting up a rotation system. Me being me, the rotation wound up growing mighty huge. Then I found there were some sets I wasn't getting to quick enough that I wanted to be able to possibly discuss on the board (namely the yearbooks) so I put them in what I call high rotation. I then added some other comps that I wanted to get through quickly to high rotation for various reasons. So now my system is I watch one disc from the regular rotation, then go through the high rotation, then the next comp in the regular rotation. No, this doesn't make much sense at this point. Here is where the rotation currently stands : Regular rotation Death of WCW Buddy Rose Steve Regal Eddie Gilbert Tracey Smothers Great Mutoh Stan Hansen Terry Funk Vader Kawada Bam Bam Bigelow Gary Hart International Jushin Liger Eddie Guerrero Chris Jericho High Rotation : 1992 Yearbook CMP 2 1993 Yearbook The Legend of Piper’s Pit 1996 Yearbook

Buddy Rose is the new Dick Murdoch.

IMSMR, these were Tijuana matches where Konnan had the booking. He had just gotten back from ECW, so he injected a huge amount of ECW style booking.

Reed vs Murdoch .

I know he'd been out for a while, but Beefcake looked really out of shape.

Classic example is the Flair vs. Kerry cage match. Much of this story is supposed to be guest ref Michael Hayes, but Manning just has to get his face in every chance he gets.

Johnny Weaver.

The Bushwackers/Sheepherders? They wouldn't have been available. They were working for Vince. Top of the thread said no restrictions, but if we consider Butch and Luke unusable ... Boyd/Bigfoot Sheepherders.

Chicago hit the Top 10 for the first time in 1970 with "Make Me Smile", "25 or 6 to 4" and "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" They hit the Top 10 for the final times in 1988-89 with "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love", "Look Away", "You're Not Alone" and "What Kind Of Man Would I Be?" They hit #1 for the first time in 1976 with "If You Leave Me Now", and the final time in 1988 with "Look Away" that was amazingly enough Billboards #1 single of the year for 1988. So... Long term appeal = GREAT~! Band in the case of Chicago? Or were/are they simply an effective charting pop band? When you think of great bands that have been around since they were formed (1967), does Chicago really come to mind? Strangely, this is the second time I have posted this today (on 2 different boards), but .... Chicago's first 2 albums were awesome. I can't really vouch for the other 87. Back to wrestling talk ...
