I couldn't give you an exact figure, but I'm pretty sure they sold out the Hammerstein Ballroom, so you're looking around at least 3000 people I'd imagine?

 

The Hammerstein Ballroom show is the show they've always claimed was their biggest. So however many tickets they sold there, that's the record. If they actually legit sold the place out, it would be like 3,500-ish.

Did Taker derail Punk's World title reign in 2009??

 

Psht. The whole "Punk doesn't wear a suit thing"? No. From most accounts, Taker likes Punk. He introduced Punk to Paul Bearer by saying "He's one of us".

 

Why were WWF's UK PPVs discontinued?

 

Attendance rates were dropping, which probably wasn't the actual reason, but shortly after they actually started taping TVs over here, which is giving the UK fans what they want and allowing people outside America to see what's going on, instead of hearing about it and seeing stills on Raw. (IE when Crash beat Regal for the European title at Rebellion 2000.)

Ahaaa!! I forgot the other birthday giveaway was at an ICW show, that solves that little issue!

 

Thank you kindly Shaun!

 

Geez, I feel so old looking back at that. Especially the pictures of the AWW guys. None of them are there anymore, and my old fed's gone to the dogs. *sigh*

Can anyone tell me who this dude is with Grado, the one in a TalkWrestlingOnline shirt.

That's right, a TWO shirt. In the midst of a bunch of ICW guys.

 

Inno has confirmed I've been a "numptie" (his words, not mine) and that's only bloody Noam Dar.

 

I'm such a bad UK Forum mod... :(

Also, ICW fans? Every single person in the photo is talent :lol

 

From left to right:

 

Kid Fite, BT Gunn, The Wee Man (who's real name is Neil btw, which form some reason cracks me up :lol), Grado, Wolfgang, James Scott, Noam Dar, Liam Thomson and his broad Carmel Jacob.

 

I spoke to Noam for a while in London, I wish I knew he had TWO connections! :lol

 

I love that he's still rocking a free t-shirt that he got years ago, I appreciate that kinda dedication to not giving a f*ck about appearance.

To be fair to poor Chris, they don't exactly ooze star power, do they?

 

That gilet James Scott.... :lol

 

And Kid Fite looks like a tourist on some kind of sight seeing tour.

 

Except Grado of course, Grado is legit!

I've literally just realised I typed fans, when Grado even says "ICW Troops" on the photo. I'm a f*cking idiot.

 

I even recognised Kid Fite (who I've worked a match with before) and still typed fans.

 

I really am a fool.

 

Kam, I'm handing back my mod powers. I don't deserve them. Either of them. Yikes.

 

EDIT: For the record, I meant "guys" not fans. The last sentence was supposed to be all ecstatic about an ICW guy being spotted in a TWO shirt, and I managed to fluff it by not only insulting the ICW guys by calling them fans, but by forgetting they even took part in TWO's 10th Birthday celebrations.

 

Well....f*ck.

Closest I could find.

 

"The standard professional wrestling ring introduction consists of four parts: hometown, height, weight, and name. However, there are some characters where one might not want to give a hometown; after all, if you have a quasi-mystical, made of iron, badass loner, it would probably rob him of some of his mystique if he was from Joisey. The solution? Announce him as being "from Parts Unknown".

 

Parts Unknown, simply put, is wrestling speak for "we don't know where the hell this guy's from." However, it's taken on a life of its own in wrestling fandom, where it's become popular to depict Parts Unknown as a real place that's home to some very unreal personalities. Possibly as a result of this, most wrestling promoters have changed from using Parts Unknown to using more descriptive, though equally non-specific, hometowns. "

That's pretty subjective. If you want to ask that question, that's probably a thread all unto itself.

 

EDIT: And now it is!

 

Next question...

 

Was Ken Shamrock the first person to bring "tapping out" instead of audible admissions of submission to the WWE? I don't remember anyone doing it before him, but now I can't remember any time in the last decade (other than an "I Quit" match, obviously) when anyone verbally gave up instead of tapping out?
