That does make sense now that I stop and think about it. It does still seem like a big thing to have it taken off but I suppose if there wasn't a stip about it, he'd be allowed to keep it.

So yesterday at a friends house we were zappin' through the channels and caught an episode of Vintage on Eurosport. It was Lex Luger vs Yokozuna at (I think?) a Summerslam. I guess this isn't really a question and more of a statement but jesus it seemed to drag on forever. Mind you, we switched to it when it was seemingly already going for a while and switched channels again before it ended. Highlights were Lex Luger in the corner trying to sneakily look over his shoulder and then dodging the worst salt attack Mr Fuji has ever pulled off and Yokozuna missing pretty much every offensive move. This has tainted my childhood memories of really digging both these guys when I was but a wee lad

Ah yes, I loved that storyline. Yokozuna is fat, and Lex is the only person who can slam him (even if he cant).

OK this is kind of a weird one but here goes: Why is it that when RVD does a frog splash he grabs his stomach and rolls around in pain? Is he just trying to make the move look dangerous, or does it legitimately hurt him so badly that he can't help it? And if so, what is he doing differently from Eddie and Chavo who just do the frog splash and stay on top of the guy for the pin? It's a really inane question but it's something I was thinking about today.

Here's a weird question: Has there ever been someone in a dedicated tag team (not a superteam ie Jericho, Cena/HBK) that went out on their own and found singles success while keeping the team together. It took HBK breaking up the Rockers for him to branch out and the Hart Foundation was dead by the time Bret was doing his singles run. I'm talking about something along the lines of what would amount to Demolition Smash winning the IC title but still being in Demolition.

Dragging Iron Feet posted:The post below this reminded me of a situation where this happened. Late 98-early 99 Billy Gunn was fueding with Ken Shamrock for the IC Title and Road Dogg was fueding with Bossman for the Hardcore belt while they were still teaming as the New Age Outlaws. Pretty sure Jeff and Matt held singles titles while still a tag team and never broke up over them. Christian and Edge might have been a team like that too.

Pillman has a gun? Austin 3:16 at king of the ring? USA vs. Canada? Montreal Screwjob '97? Or the night Shawn Michaels teamed with Triple H to take on the Undertaker and Mankind, and DX soon followed?

I could never really say 3:16 started the era. They still had their terrible rear end shows for a good year with stupid gimmicks and bad angles, except without any raunchiness.

I thought Ahmed Johnson's slam of Yokozuna was 10x more impressive than Luger's.

Fallon posted:Were they meant to be ribs, or was Vince legitimately trying to convince the crowd they were Scott Hall and Nash? No, he wasn't trying to convince anyone, he was trying to use the gimmicks again on different people. I don't remember if it was the first time they were on TV or not because its been a long time, but they had a heel JR talking up about how they 'brought back some of your favorites' or something like that. Of course their gimmicks were just kind of 'them with funny names' so you know.... also it was a terrible idea.

Fallon posted:Fake Razor and Diesel: Neither, exactly. The point was that they weren't Hall and Nash, but they were Razor and Diesel. Vince wanted to establish that Hall and Nash weren't anything special, they were made by Vince and the WWE and he could do the same thing to make any other two people. And as a bonus, he'd use them to turn Jim Ross heel. Didn't quite work out for him.

Nope. The whole thing was part of the lawsuit beteen WCW and WWF over Hall and Nash defecting. If Vince used the characters on television, it lent more credence to his claim that he owned the characters and they coudn't act like them on WCW television. This is why Hall stopped talking like Razor.
