Sid will always be my hero for having his first match back at the same house show that Warrior got fired for no showing. I was so bummed about Warrior, having Sid show up as a surprise helped save the night.

The (one of the) best thing(s) about SID is when he'd let his fists getting bumped by a gaggle of crazied fans in the WWF.

MassRafTer posted:Sid had incredible charisma and was kind of a cool character on promos, but when writers of the day talk about it being wild that he kept getting chances it wasn't just "he sucked." The fact he's one of the few to hold both the WCW and WWE titles even though he his runs came when both companies weren't drawing super well is amazing

Diamond Dallas Page 6. Jeff Jarrett 7. David Arquette 8. Scott Steiner 9. Vince Russo Two of the WCW-Only guys were penciled in to win the WWF belt before plans changed, and two of them were non-wrestlers. Chris Benoit's WCW title win kind of got erased from the books before he got erased from the books in general, and Booker/Goldberg didn't win the WWE belt until after WCW ceased to exist, but there's more parity there than I expected. I was going to look up if there are there any WCW championship holders (inclusive of all titles) that are actively wrestling right now besides Chris Jericho, Dustin Rhodes and Rey Mysterio but the answer is yes, way more than I thought considering the company folded almost two decades ago: Former WCW title holders by number of matches in 2019 Jushin Liger (113 matches) Shinjiro Otani (104 matches) Ultimo Dragon (103 matches) Psicosis (68 matches) Juventud Guerrera (54 matches) Rey Mysterio (52 matches) PCO (44 matches) Chavo Guerrero (17 matches) Scott Steiner (14 matches) Great Muta (14 matches) David Arquette (13 matches) Chris Jericho (12 matches) Disco Inferno (11 matches) Dustin Rhodes (10 matches) Crowbar (7 matches) Jeff Jarrett (6 matches) Buff Bagwell (5 matches) Meng (4 matches) Jim Duggan (4 matches) Brian Knobbs (3 matches) Rick Steiner (3 matches) Goldberg (2 matches) Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Feb 11, 2020 |

From the same show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2R0v1I_-ys I have to wonder if Sting sauntering away after his vicious bat attack was just because he's so frickin' done with WCW. I've never heard a bad word about the Stinger as a person, I feel bad for how his loyalty broke him. Same happened to Tony too, clearly.

If he's not doing it because he needs money and isn't holding down or replacing an indy talent, I say good on Arquette. I doubt anyone's busting down his door for movie parts and he seems to enjoy having matches. This goes for anyone still wrestling that's just doing it for fun or extra supplemental money; life's too short not to have fun. The Wrestler still gets to me.

Hell, it's only been like the last five years or so you wouldn't find Funk and Lawler having matches on the weekends, often with each other, and they've both saved their money.

There was a "match" at some sports game last year with Lawler, Rikishi, and the Steiners. Also Buff was there for whatever reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1-rebuMi8w I'm amazed Rikishi can do anything at this point.

Lawler wrestled Mance Warner at a GCW/BLP show over the summer, and regularly works for Northeast Wrestling in Connecticut. Hah, apparently he worked a show where Luchasaurus appeared, and Moxley and Darby Allin tagged. https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=242753

OJ MIST 2 THE DICK posted:well hes got two dead cousins and a dead younger brother Meanwhile Scott Steiner had 14 matches, most of them were 4-6-10 person tag matches on indies or things like a six minute match against Hornswoggle, which is more active from a strict "number of times the bell rung and Scott Steiner was an official competitor in a wrestling match somewhere" but ultimately a lot less work than Jericho or Dustin or some of the other folks put in. For what it's worth, the four matches I found for Meng were: 1) The Dark Honor Rumble at the ROH/NJPW Supershow 2) A Meng & Barbarian vs. "Big Dick" Devan Drake and Kujo tag at a WPW show 3) "The Blood Hunter" defeating Meng at a GNW show 4) An eight man tag where Ernest the Cat Miller, Glacier, Meng, and Power Plant washout Luther Biggs beat four locals in Orlando for a promotion with one recorded event and with the following message posted on its Facebook: quote:If you hear stories about Sunray Pro Wrestling from 2005, they are true. I bought Sunray from Mike Tyler in early 2006, he was arrested for molesting teen boys almost a year later. No one had ideas of what was happening until the police were involved. Someone sent text or emails to City of Dundee and that event had to be canceled. I would like to continue with Sunray Pro Wrestling. If you continue with negative post, I can't keep Sunray alive. Decide and let me know. If I were your source I'm not sure which one of these I'd actually count as a match. The Rumble, I guess?
