turn it all around

Remember when they first started using the new graphics for RAW? The splashes used for names had a big spot to the left side with the spinner belt inside, but it didn't quite fit. A lot of people speculated that the space was shaped for the new title. Does anyone have a screen cap from a show way back then to compare with the new title and splash? I'd be curious if they meant for the new title to be in that spot the whole time.

In 1985 Dr. Strange makes a rap album.

Looking around (i.e. searching Wikipedia) I'm guessing that's from JWA in the early '70s with Baba in the middle, Inoki next to him and the only other guy I can recognize from looking around is Seiji Sakaguchi (I think) standing behind Baba. Of course I'm probably wrong.

Top row, farthest to the left is Kotetsu Yamamoto. Second from top right looks like it might be Rusher Kimura. Bottom row, farthest to the left looks like it might be Fujinami.

I loved it when somebody pointed out that Hogan had put his sunglasses on from the other side of the chain link fence :laugh:

Edit: Also that the Lockdown poster he was looking at was apparently the wrong way around in order to be reflected like that.

My Fantasy Art Teacher actually painted this one. It's still hung up in the entrance lobby of my art school in fact.

Wasn't this the one that featured a television commercial where Shawn is holding the little sausage next to Triple H's large one, turns and looks at him and says,"I know what you're doing! :mad:"? I loved that.

Ric Flair would've still been champion when the poster was made if I recall correctly.

Its amazing how much I love those old WWF posters compared to what is made today. I don't know if its nostalgia or what but I love lots of the old ones. The only recent one I can remember I really liked is the No Way Out with Aj and Daniel Bryan on the train track.
