CopywrightMMXI posted:Tell me everything about the WWF’s mini division in the mid 90s. Did mini-Vader, mini-mankind etc use those gimmicks outside of the WWF? Was this division part of the working arrangement with AAA? it was part of the working arrangement with AAA, Mini Vader was Espectrito, Mini Mankind was Espectrito II and Mini Goldust was Mini Abismo Negro. They wrestled as the Mini WWF gimmicks in AAA but only in 1997 during the working arrangement.

Can someone tell me what Super Dragon's deal is/was and why every clip I see of him it looks like he's trying to internally decapitate to his opponent?

Super Dragon's deal is that he's cool as gently caress and has one of the best masks ever

Which is just such an absurd image that will never be able to leave my mind & I pray to all that is holy that it is in fact something that happened. But yeah, Super Dragon's deal is just that he's some internet wrestling tape trader nerd who worshipped '90s All Japan & ended up training to become a wrestler. And after doing that he became one, a guy with an amazing presence & an absurd violent streak. It was so exciting 20 years ago, before the injuries really broke him down. Basically everything he did felt real. Probably a lot of it was, his curbstomp was lightyears ahead of anyone who has done it since.

Super Dragon had a WCW match where he was a lanky, skinny lucha guy, wonder how his career would've changed if WCW hadn't gone out of business and he ended up with the contract https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p81Sg45Rs_g

Speaking of Super Dragon, does anyone have a link to the video of a PWG show where some dude in the crowd yells to Chris Hero "SUPER DRAGON IS GONNA gently caress YOU UP, HERO" and CH slow walked through the crowd and just stares the guy down?

Be aware though that the older the shows, the worse the commentary has probably aged. On a positive note, here is the match between John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt and John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SodoQ3IGJEg

It's long been deleted off YouTube but I'll always remember the 5 second clip in terrible resolution with a terrible numetal scream over it showing quite possibly the dumbest tag team finisher of all time. One guy was hitting a vertebreaker as his tag partner had THE SAME GUY locked in and hitting a Schwein. If either if them hosed up the timing it would've resulted in internal decapitation and even if done correctly what the gently caress is that.

I'm reasonably sure Super Dragon murdering Excalibur in their Guerilla Warfare match contributed heavily to his retirement from in ring. After one of Dragon's returns he was being his usual brutal self in the ring and Excalibur and Steen were on commentary and Ex goes "Hey, remember when we turned on him? What a terrible idea that was", Steen got a hearty chuckle

Had anyone ever shown up to a major PPV or show while high out of their gourd before Jeff Hardy at whatever TNA PPV that was? Obviously 90% of the roster was snorting coke in the 80s but I don't know if any of them came out unable to perform like him. Also Jake Roberts but that PPV was some nobody.
