Wrestling Promo of the Day

I liked the colors that his suit was, seemed like he never wore the same color twice :shock:

Good Jimmy "The Mouth of the South" Hart promo there.

When Vinnie Mac was trying to compete with WCW at many things, one them was having a Light heavyweight division. It was great but failed because you know how McMannequin is, if he can't relate to it or understand it, it just goes nowhere and that ruined so much :roll:

Now, one of the many competitors to be in it was the hugely hyped Taka Michinoku. He was a huge name in Japan despite he was still young I mean he had a reptation as much as The Great Muta & Jushin Thunder Liger

Now, you know for a couple decades you see so many wrestlers using the Michinoku Driver and it seems so well over done & used by today's standards...well Taka Michinoku is the man that invented that maneuver :shock:

Here's this promo package of Taka Michinoku

Saw him a bit back then but he was never pushed much by the time I got back in.

Yeah, he was part of Kaientai then but more on that later. Great Flair promo there, I love how he looked with the glasses. I know you like Papi Chulo so here's one of his first matches in the WWF as Aguila against Taka :!:

Aguila didn't last long, he was repackaged as Essa Rios with the debuting hot Lita from ECW :batshock:

Essa with Super Crazy when he WAS MASKED :batshock:

Check out the themes for more

Papi Chulo was just one of those names you don't forget even though he wasn't around much. I remember when Lita debuted with him because she was hard to not take notice of.

by **BrandonDaCollector** » Thu Nov 14, 2024 7:35 am

Yes, a name is important and to Me the stranger or funnier is always the ones to check out. Oh yeah, Lita was great then. I seen her in ECW before that, she was and still is one of the hottest women to ever step in a wresting ring. Ah, The Killer Bees. Such a good team. Yeah, Blair is known to teach wrestling.

Okay, now you know I posted a lot of JBL thru his evolution. Well, I said before I was going to do a bit later of Faarooq so here it is. You seen Ron Simmons in WCW & ECW before so here's his first & second appearances in the WWF. He had no hype, no vignettes, no nothing, just appeared. Immediately I knew he was Ron Simmons. I knew he was coming because of My F4NL. He was one of the many newcomers in the WWF in 96. He was managed by Sunny after her time with The Bodydonnas ran out. Here's the short promo.

Unfortently this didn't last long as tomorrow I'll post when he became part of the Nation of Domination not too long after what you just saw :shock:

That was one of the more ridiculous looking ring attires I've seen in a while. Poor Ron Simmons.

by **BrandonDaCollector** » Fri Nov 15, 2024 9:05 am

I thought it was neat back then but now it looks very plain to Me. Good Midnight Rockers there.

Okay, so about 2 months later at the WWF Surivivor Series 96, Faarooq was no longer a moder gladiator, he unexpectly changed into this :shock:

The following epic night on Raw this happen and the Nation of Domination with JC Ice & Wolfie D from PG-13 & Clarence mason WAS BORN

Ahmed Johnson is back from injury, Crush returns and is now a NOD member, more on that later :shock:

by **packerbacker180** » Fri Nov 15, 2024 8:39 pm

I never saw those clips. I got back in just when the Nation was feuding with the HHH DX. I remember catching some stuff before I got overly familiar with everything and thought it was kind of inappropriate because there was this group the Black Panther, a Puerto Rican gang, and the some skinhead looking bikers and I was like, what the hell am I watching, lol. But that didn't last much longer, thankfully.

by **BrandonDaCollector** » Sat Nov 16, 2024 8:20 am

That was something with Iron Mike Tyson & MJF :shock:

Okay, since you're not familiar with this early version of the NOD I'll show you this. You already saw PG-13 a while back when they were in the USWA but I'll show more of them later because there's a bit of an important thing I haven't shown yet. So first here's Clarence Mason. He was Jim Cornette's attorney that debuted in late 95. He would be successful with his situation with Camp Cornette which was Yokozuna, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog & Vader. Here's this short clip of him in early 96 when he was attempting to reinstate Vader over what he did to Gorilla Monsoon in one of My fave wrestling moments ever.

Yes, I remember the Black Panther gang. 97 was when the WWF was doing all of these groups fighting each other, I thought it was a fun time in the WWF. So, now we're fast forwarding a bit later after what showed you yesterday. Who was going to help Ahmed Johnson fight Faarooq & the Nation of Domination :?:

He thought it was going to be "The Caribbean Legend" Savio Vega who was one of the biggest babyfaces of the company since 95 as I said a while back. Nope, he betrayed him and his fans :shock:

Now look in the background, you see a young D-Lo Brown but I'm not sure if he had that name yet because wrestled as a jobber for a while called AC Connor :shock:

So since Johnson couldn't get any help from Savio, who would help him

Well when The Legion of Doom returned, Ahmed found them, and they became allies :shock:

So, in mid 1996, Crush returned to the Federation after his run in with the law. Kona Crush had major possession of Steroids, Firearms & Machine Guns including AR 15s & AK 47s

So, when he came back, he was no longer the monster with Master Fuji, no, he was like a biker from hard times and was managed by...did you guess it

Clarence Mason :shock:

When he'd wrestle the crowd would chant "Jailbird, Jailbird"

So the WWF as usual would take a real life thing and make it part of a gimmick whether it's in good or bad taste. Here's this promo, notice LOD & Ahmed on the 2X4s :!:
