Bigelow and Triple H were on the roster for a fair amount of time together, April 1995-November 1995. Just checked if they ever worked a match, but couldnt see anything.

Wow, didnt even realise Hunter was there that early, always imagined he only came in around October 95. Probably because I wasn't really able to watch between the early 90's and '96.

It's so ingrained in my head that he debuted toward the end of 95 that when I read that I thought it had to be wrong but a quick search confirmed it. Here's his debut, 30th April '95. Strange also hearing JR commentating with Gorilla, that couldn't have happened too often (although I'm probably wrong again ). Edit: Huh, check out the finisher! I stopped paying attention and missed the finish and went back to watch it just to see what his first Pedigree was like but nope.

Yep he was there all the way back in early 1995, I remember Sunny saying in an interview that he hung around with her and Candido at Wrestlemania Fanfest (I am guessing all of the new guys yet to debut were all at the event, and hung out together) I think she said back then he had a "willing do whatever it takes to get to the top" type attitude. Having read his Wiki bio, he left WCW in January 1995 and was immediately signed to the WWF, so you coulod say he was there for all of 1995 really.
His first vignette aired April 16th 1995.

Way back on page 22 of this thread, there was a video posted of Shawn Michaels' "last match ever" against Venom that took place in-between his WWF departure after Wrestlemania 14 and his comeback in 2002. While moving into a new apartment, I found this. This is the match lineup that was given out at that show. Notable names here other than Shawn include Venom, better known as Paul Diamond, Spanky (Brian Kendrick) and The American Dragon (Daniel Bryan in a mask, which he lost here) as tag team champions, Lance Cade, and Michael Shane, who later became Matt Bentley and was champion in the early TV days of TNA's X-division.

I didn't know that Newman from Seinfeld wrestled.

Buck being the jobber kinda ruins my enjoyment of it though. Not quite to Benoit match levels, but still bad enough.

Rocky Maivia VS Bret Hart on March 31, 1997 on Raw. Is that from the European Championship Raw from Germany. Really good match if I remember, with The Blue Chipper looking good.

No, it wasn't from Germany. But, Bulldog wrestled Owen in the opening match of the same show. This was the 1st show that The Hart Foundation got back together.

I've remembered just ONE reference to this, and have seen the story nowhere else. Is it true that Dean Malenko was on one of the roundtable shows on Classics on Demand, and when they talk about the Radicalz, he clearly says "the THREE of us." This was post-2007 of course.

The Emma picture has me wondering, that how many young stars of today who met superstars like this as kids, I wonder if any stars were ever assholes to them/fans and they have met them since. Anyone heard any stories? The one I always think of is AJ meeting Lita as a kid at a signing for WMXX(?) and then proceeding to marry her ex boyfriend 10 years later

I'm old enough to remember Rico Constantio on American Gladiators. IIRC he was a Las Vegas police officer.
