Hakushi (one of the biggest missed opportunities of the mid 90s)

Oh wow - I was at that show in the Birmingham NEC Arena for my 12th birthday treat. Remember being so hyped to see LOD and was hoping they’d take on Money Inc. but no - it was Animal & Crush vs Skinner & Kato, and Money Inc. vs The Bushwhackers. Fortunately, as it was my first show, I marked out for all of it!

The Shango vs Santana match has appeared online for the first time... youtu.be/akNlI6bFPg8Most notable for Jim Ross finding his feet on commentary, referring to Bruce (Prichard) when he audibly coughs and asks if there's a cough button and also when he doesn't know the name of El Matador's finisher!

Any UK fans recall a short-lived "comedy" series on the BBC in the mid 90s called 'Rumble' starring Lesley Joseph (the tarty one from 'Birds of a Feather') and ex-professional wrestler Brian Glover?

I remember seeing them live against the killer team of Skinner & Kato.

This reminded me of one of my favourite random moments on a show called The Hitman And Her (no not *that* Hitman!) from the early 90s, presented by record producer Pete Waterman and kids TV star/failed singer Michaela Strachan. It used to be shown late at night after the pubs had closed and was basically a way for Waterman to cheaply promote his acts/tracks whilst drunken partygoers danced to them at local nightclubs. As he produced the 1992/3 WWF album he used it as an opportunity to play Slam Jam...just watch the dancing! youtu.be/-2zBS3JJkgQ

Ricky Steamboat in his Dragon 1991 run. As a 10 year old catching WWF Superstars on Sky for the first time in the U.K, the guy who blew flames really stood out. You gotta hand it to Vince - he knew what would visually appeal to the kids in those days. 91-93 will always be my favourite era.

Heel Doink ''The Model" Rick Martel Hakushi The Mountie's original theme (before his campy sung song) Adam Bomb heel theme Ric Flair's WWF 91-93 theme
For some reason as a kid I loved El Matador and Headshrinkers' themes too.

The 1992 Royal Rumble rumble match. Pure perfection from start to finish.

An unbelieveable clip from an early 90's late night UK TV show called 'Hitman & Her' which used to take place in nightclubs around the country, showcasing the record producer Pete Waterman's music... www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2zBS3JJkgQ

Think I've seen that somewhere on youtube once - Neidhart had just finished a match with Flair and was taking a while getting out of the ring area - The Beverly's turned up for their match and ended up beating down on him. Think this was to set up a Beverly - New Foundation feud on the Anvil's return in a few months time. It meant he had to give up his place on that wrestlecrappy Survivor Series 91 match which originally featured him, Steamvboat, Busick and others probably (which I've never seen come to think of it - is it any good?!)

I remember seeing him teaming as part of LOD (still in his crazy fluroescent orange get-up) back in 92 in the UK when Animal & Crush defeated Kato & Skinner...was v disappointed as an 11 year old to not see the 'proper' Legion of Doom as advertised on the posters...

I'd completely agree if I had posted it in one of the other sections, but this is the 'Off Topic' bit. And having glanced at other recent threads such as 'Long Distance Relationships', 'What's Your Favourite Web Browser?' and 'Extremely Graphic Image of A Leg Mauled By Bear', I hardly think a thread sending a harmless heads up to fellow gay fans is lowering the tone of conversation around here...
