Dragging Iron Feet posted:it's pretty good. i mean there's a WHOLE lot of bullshit that you would expect but it's a fun doco and you get a disc of vince matches so you can sit there and feel super uncomfortable during the vince vs steph i quit match. Man, 2003 was such a lovely year. I'll check out the DVD when I see it next time, it looks sweet and with a whole bunch of Vince matches this might actually be worth while.

Ok, this might be a long shot but I've got two question from my hazy, wrestling loving childhood. First, I went to a WWF event in Ohio for my birthday sometime in the '90s. The only specific thing I can remember was a tag-team match where some guy with dreadlocks was running between the ropes and his opponent grabbed one and ripped it out when he ran past him. I'd like to track down the show and it'd be nice if I at least had a name to work with, so tag team + wwf + dreadlocks + later '90s = ??? Secondly, I used to have a royal rumble match match on vhs. The only thing I can remember from it is there was a black guy that came out in some kind of a light blue bodysuit. This is memorable because when he came out he was all hyped up and was bouncing between the guardrails high fiving fans etc but was thrown out in about 3 seconds and I thought it was hilarious. I think he might've had 'blue' in his name, who was that guy? Super omega bonus points if you can tell me the specific shows the vagueness I described happened in.

The Road Dogg had dreads, so it was probably a New Age Outlaws match. Crush had dreads also, but I don't remember if the Nation ever did tag matches, but he is another possibility. quote:Secondly, I used to have a royal rumble match match on vhs.

If it was late-90's it was probably Road Dogg, who had cornrows. Could be The Godfather or Droz. Road Dogg and Godfather both had extensions, so those could easily come out. Not sure what answer you want past that. Was this a PPV, and if so do you remember anything else like a main event to narrow it down? Even a specific year, if it was a PPV, would help. If it was like mid-90s I think that's when Man Mountain Rock was around. Or Duke "The Dumpster" Drose but I don't remember if he had dreadlocks at that time. Sounds like Flash Funk, aka 2 Cold Scorpio. Unless it was late 1998 or early 1999 and maybe it was Koko B. Ware in the Blue Blazer costume during the "Owen Hart is the Blazer but isn't" angle, but I don't think he was in the Rumble.

This is kind of a broad question but, what is the worst bump a wrestler has taken? A real bump, not a botched spot I would say that the Powerbomb Mick Foley took on the floor from Vader was pretty terrible.

At one point in a MiTB match, I forget which one, Carlito and... I think Kennedy? do a heel team up and push Shelton off a ladder. He falls off the ladder, out of the ring, and onto a ladder on the outside. It was such a bad bump that Carlito and Kennedy literally stare in surprise at him on the floor, then at each other.

In case you do not know his finisher, it involves him jumping on his opponents back with his knees pinned to their lower back. Then dropping on his own back. It looked retarded and looked like a lovely finisher, too. I saw it in a 2009 "Don't try this at home" PSA.

I have no idea what match it was from but I've seen the clip a bunch and good god is it ugly.

It certainly isnt the worst bump ever, but god drat, the bumps Shane McMahon took against Kurt Angle at KOTR was loving sick. It wasnt so much the bumps thru the glass, but the bumps where Shane didnt go thru the glass. That match and the JBL/Eddie match where Eddie turned into a bloody mess haunt my dreams.

Not only do I have no issues watching Benoit matches, I can still enjoy them cause he loving ruled. Benoit was awesome regardless if he murdered people. That just gives him more credibility! He died living his gimmick. Can't go out any better than that.
