Were I can find groups of videogames from 1992?

I don't know how to use well google group

The best way to do that would to be to use the advanced search function, put some terms into the search field and then set a date range.

My $0.02: Way back in the early 80s, (83?), Satoru Sayama (aka Tiger
Mask) got a little pissed off at the promotion in Japan and wrote a
tell-all book about the Japanese wrestling biz. The book was called
oddly enough "Kay Fabe." I have no idea what this means in English,
but nowadays it simply refers to insider info.

Ha! Thats awesome I guess we have to thank Paul Heyman, Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo for educating us.

6/27/91 tidbit

"Probably at SummerSlam, and certainly after the event, Virgil will
start wearing a dress and make-up and calling himself Virgilina.
I didn't make this one up. Honest."

Oh my!

... that really happened.

Not at SummerSlam itself, but afterward... yep.

- Meltzer reports that Kwang, who had a terrible promo-clip air on the
WWF syndies is Tazmaniac. He resembles Taz from what we could see.

Da Meltz is never wrong :-P

[Evilution E5150]

this thread is pure gold, oh to be a smark back then

["Hollywood" Cactus Matt]

Wow. I've wasted an hour already, and plan on wasting several more.

Awesome stuff.

EDIT: According to this page, it says that Nick Patrick is the son of Jody Hamilton who, if memory serves me, was the Assassin. That's an interesting tidbit, for sure, but go down the list a way and it says that Rocky Johnson had a son named Ricky Johnson; I know this isn't The Rock, so does that mean that The Rock has/had a wrestling brother?

EDIT²: And further down it says that Paul E. Dangerously (aka Paul Heyman) is the son of some dude named Paul Nabors. If this is correct, I had no idea Paul E. was "second generation."

Reading that website is so weird. I mean, here I was, growing up in this era thinking it was real, and all the while we still had an "IWC" who saw behind the curtain and discussed things I never knew existed.

That happened on primetime around when when this was posted (6-91) without looking up the date, but virgilina was "virgil's older sister", and she was supposed to be a foil for sherri, and bobby was hollering that "that's virgil!" so they show a promo video of the split screen with virgilina and virgil talking to each other

Sounds about as horrible awesome as when they had Santino/a pull this bit last year.

Apparently, there were rumors that Tugboat was gonna be called "Bronto" a caveman gimmick. Imagine if that actually happened. LOL

"* He could schedule only two survivor matches and go strictly for headliner
matchups (in that case why even call it "Survivor Series"?) "

LOL to see later "Survivor Series"... and now with the name finally being killed.

Did anyone see the match on last night's WWF show on USA between Al Perez
and Mark Young? Well sold, good moves, all in all A+ for WWF

Which equals B- in the NWA =)

You know you're a wrestling nerd when:

Hey guys, not to sound smart, but this group is for wrestling, not the
simpsons. they created a group alt.tv.simpsons, so post in there. I don't
know if i speak for everyone, but I don't care about the simpsons enough to
read them in here. I agree the show is cool, but please no more posts.

Makes me feel old to think that I was 10 years old when The Simpsons was considered a "new" show.

[ICBM]

Hey Blade just let me say this un-related to the thread. Your sig with the "Class of Nuke 'em High Part I" poster is epic. I had forgotten about this and the Traumaville films in general. Thanx to you I now intend to ind them all in dvd
