Pope Corky the IX posted:TATANKA Tatanka was at King of Trios 2012 as part of Team WWF (with 1-2-3 Kid and Aldo Montoya) and during that weekend he had a singles match. He came out to that song and the fans treated it like it was "Judas." Coincidentally, his opponent was Pineapple Pete.

Well, it was never really a New Japan thing, it was an All Japan thing (talking exclusively about the men's side of things here). And it still is, if you watch Kento Miyahara vs Jake Lee from January for the Triple Crown you'll still get streamers thrown in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XUM1bqZjfo&t=595s It still rules. And as NOAH was an All Japan off-shoot you still see it there too, as seen in this GHC Heavyweight title match from the same weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh1g_XFcmd0&t=411s But you won't see it during the pandemic.

davidbix posted:And how about "ARE YOU READAAAAAYYYYY FOR THE SURVIVOR SERIES?" being Jimmy Garvin in his try-out standup interview from '92? (Gene's "WHO WILL SURVIVE?" is from the same segment.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESYy0vZWgIk This is such a bizarre clip. It really shows the divide between WCW and WWF fans, too, as it seemed like 90% of the crowd had no clue who Garvin was. I can see why they might not have picked him up based on this. His jokes had a little too much innuendo for that era but I was dying at Gene trying not to crack up as they kept saying Kamala was going to eat the box. Kinda crazy that they used that sample from a screen test for the album as well. Thanks for sharing this, I'd never seen it before.

LionYeti posted:Ahh I see, I thought it was an All of Japan thing when its an All Japan thing New Japan does not have the best history with their crowds throwing things in the ring. Throwing your cushions in the air following the first G1 Climax final: good! Lighting your cushion on fire and throwing it at the ring because you’re drunk, got a rip-off main event and then Takeshi Kitano brought out Big Van Vader in his debut and had him beat the poo poo out of Inoki: very, very bad! Like lose your prime time TV slot and be banned from Sumo Hall bad! After that incident they pretty much went “so uh no fan is ever allowed to throw anything into the ring ever again, we will shoot streamers ourselves for celebrations”

davidbix posted:Never mind that there was no reason to use either sample: Why are they building the beginning of "WrestleMania" off of promo samples about the Survivor Series in the first place? What did Stock and Waterman ask for as far as samples, anyway? Guessing only Jimmy Hart or Jim Johnston would have answers, at least among people that we could actually try to ask. I seem to remember someone (MRT?) saying that the record producers were given a list of "WWF keywords" or something to that effect, one of which was "Survivor Series". Presumably they were given a fair amount of audio to play with, and it just kind of ended up in there? Idk. Fun fact, Pete Waterman is a massive train nerd and is so rich he can actually play real life train sets.

The people responsible for making it good were probably traveling around the country five days a week. Maybe they got to the studio in time to supervise the music but not the lyrics or the clips, then had to do a loop of seven southern cities.

Stories about the riot (probably shaped by new Japan) tend to forget the Choshu part and just focus on the Vader part as it adds to the mystique and wow Vader was so hated fans rioted when they did a BS DQ match for what should of been a big match. Especially given this is the era of UWFi clean finishes but hey Foreign monster and not Inoki being Inoki caused the riot!

Antonio Inoki is secretly just as crazy as Vince, except he actually got to achieve real power with his lovely politics, so in a way he's even worse than Vince.

Inoki's brand of crazy is going to Iraq to successfully negotiate the release of hostages, converts to Islam to do so and becomes devout, and keeps it a secret for decades.

Aside from Hogan, Hall and Nash, which wrestlers do you most associate the NWO with? I think guys like Steiner and Bischoff are probably the most recognised outside the original trio.

NWO Wikipedia page posted:The subtractions of The Giant and Hennig from the nWo "black and white" left a short-lived group sardonically labeled the nWo B-Team by fans and commentators. This "B-Team" was a staple of WCW programming throughout 1999, and it officially consisted of Stevie Ray, Brian Adams, Vincent, Horace, and Scott Norton.[50] Stevie Ray eventually became their leader after winning a 4-man Battle Royal match on the April 5 episode of Nitro (Norton was not present for this match). Is this the most pathetic stable in wrestling history? (I'm not counting Norton because anything with Norton is automatically the tremendous thing in wrestling).
