April 22, 201411 yr comment_5600513 Not a question, just an observation--Scotty Flamingo getting a pinfall on Larry Zbyszko on WCW TV has to be one of the all-time WTF results, at least in the pre-Nitro era. Not really. Flamingo was being pushed as the hot new heel in the Light Heavyweight division, whereas Hayes was already far past his expiry date by that point. He's a legend now in retrospect, but he wasn't really considered one then. Edit: D'OH! I misread Zbyszko as Hayes somehow. Yeah, weird match, but Larry had even less of a push by then. He was the 5th wheel of the Dangerous Alliance.

I kind of wish we had that one.
May 1, 201411 yr comment_5601347 Has Dustin Rhodes vs Randy Savage been mentioned yet? (it might have been but I'm really fuckin' blind)
May 1, 201411 yr comment_5601353 Dustin-Savage never happened, but they did have a six-man with them teaming with Sting against the Studd Stable in early '95.
May 2, 201411 yr comment_5601409 I think Flair wrestled Stan Hansen once, but it isn't on tape as far as I know. So that sort of qualifies. They wrestled in the US a bunch of times.
May 2, 201411 yr comment_5601414 ?, Italy is my favorite city abroad. Scenic in the winter. Anyway, did Bruiser Brody/Hulk Hogan ever happen?
May 2, 201411 yr comment_5601430 There's a Terry vs Dory match from Japan on Wrestling Classics' youtube page. It's apparently the only time it happened.
May 4, 201411 yr comment_5601640 (I realize this one will be of interest only to me) Steve Williams vs Gary Albright? Champion Carnival 1998 First Round: Steve Williams [14] defeats Gary Albright [8] (10:04) 4/11/98 AJPW Champion Carnival 1998 - Tag 14 @ Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan Champion Carnival 1997 First Round: Gary Albright [6] defeats Steve Williams [9] (11:21) 4/5/97 AJPW Champion Carnival 1997 - Tag 12 @ Okayama Budokan in Okayama, Japan Champion Carnival 1996 First Round: Gary Albright [12] vs. Steve Williams [10] - Time Limit Draw (30:00) 4/1/96 AJPW Champion Carnival 1996 - Tag 9 @ Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium in Osaka, Japan Steve Williams defeats Gary Albright 5/23/96 AJPW Super Power Series 1996 - Tag 5 @ Nakajima Sports Center in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan They also faced each other in a ton of Tag matches. Cool. Any of those make tape? Surely that Korakuen match must have, at minimum.

May 4, 201411 yr comment_5601652 I have this weird thing in needing to see a photo or piece of video of both Andre and Undertaker in the same frame. They appeared in a battle royal segment together, but Undertaker had left the ring before Andre arrived on the scene. Such a shame. I wonder if a photo will ever surface one day? To my own point... Just saw a promo where Andre The Giant was supposed to be in the 1991 Royal Rumble. It's conceivable the two could have met in that ring. Andre didn't make it to that match due to his health however.
May 4, 201411 yr comment_5601686 Anyway, did Bruiser Brody/Hulk Hogan ever happen? No or at least I'm not aware of it ever happening. Bam Bam Bigelow vs Abdullah The Butcher in a singles match. I hope I'm not breaking the rules by posting this:
May 25, 201411 yr comment_5604582 1992 babyface Bret Hart and 1992 sicko Jake Roberts would have been a delight. The two never went at it at any point. This is the only time I remember them crossing paths--Bruno, Tito and Jake vs the Hart Foundation. http://touch.dailymotion.com/video/xbs3ja_bruno-jake-tito-vs-hart-foundationh_sport
May 29, 201411 yr comment_5605141 I'd love to see that. Terry selling Bruno's offense would've ruled.
May 29, 201411 yr comment_5605143 Listening to Vader on the Steve Austin show got me thinking, did Vader and Regal ever face off? I apologize if this is obvious, but AFAIK they were both heels in WCW and Vader was leaving WWE as Regal entered. I would love to see a match if one exists.
May 29, 201411 yr comment_5605150 Can't find anything on Cagematch with them facing off. The only time that they had a match together was (funnily, Pete had the country right) teaming against Davey Boy and Sting on the '93 Europe tour in Cologne.
May 31, 201411 yr comment_5605267 Did Bruno ever face either of the Funks? Could only find these three instances for All Japan in 1972 where he teamed with Terry and Dory: Bruno Sammartino and Terry Funk defeated Giant Baba and Thunder Sugiyama by countout (29:47 minutes) by 2 falls to 1 Bruno Sammartino and Terry Funk defeated Giant Baba and Masio Koma (25:08 minutes) by 2 falls to 1 Giant Baba and Motoshi Okuma defeated Bruno Sammartino and Dory Funk by disqualification (15:12 minutes) by 2 falls to 1
May 31, 201411 yr comment_5605269 One that I checked myself: Juventud Guerrera-Jeff Hardy. It would have had a short window, but there was DEFINITELY an opportunity for this match during Hardy's first exodus. This is without a doubt the only time that I've ever been unhappy that XPW died. They would have made it happen. Would have either been fantastic or an unbelievable trainwreck, and completely entertaining either way.
May 31, 201411 yr comment_5605270 Did Sting ever face Brian Pillman? Yes, they had one singles match in the King of Cable tournament (thanks, wrestlingdata!) Also a bunch of 6-mans on opposite teams, don't know if any were for TV.
