Wrestler and manager Sonny King has passed away. My only connections to his work were when we first got cable, he was managing Afa & Sika, in Georgia, on World Championship Wrestling. I also saw a tiny bit of him as a manager, in Mid-South. He had runs in Memphis and the Carolinas and some other territories, often as an African-American babyface, in areas not known for their tolerance. His last run in Memphis wasn't particularly good, according to those around, but he was a great manager of the Samoans, in Georgia. Nice soft and menacing style of promos and physically imposing enough to interfere. Lot of similarities to Gary Hart, in style.

This afternoon’s viewing:  Macho Man hosts - and provides fashion tips throughout. Men on a Mission also treat us to some rapping. Enough said! The Undertaker vs. Adam BombUndertaker pins Adam Bomb following a chokeslam that came out of nowhere. A glorified squash match that lasted under 3 minutes, it was fun (who could possibly complain about such a short bout for that era?). And we also get to see Undertaker chokeslam Johnny Polo. WWF Tag Team Champions Marty Jannetty & The 1-2-3 Kid vs. The HeadshrinkersBoth teams have good chemistry here. The Headshrinkers win the belts after Afa’s interference leads to a pin by Samu on The 1-2-3 Kid. Thankfully, though, a referee runs into the ring, explains what happened, and the decision is reversed, meaning the babyfaces retain their championships. Good bout, but may I ask, where are the referees when other bouts end in controversy? WWF ‘logic’ and ‘inconsistency’, eh? Macho Man vs. The Model Rick MartelFrom late 1993. Both guys still had it in 1993/94, but Savage was unfairly relegated to mostly commentary, while Martel was treated as “glorified enhancement talent”. The two men work very hard here, and Savage gets the win after the Flying Elbow Drop. WWF Champion Yokozuna vs. Mr. PerfectPerfect threw everything he had at Yokozuna here, in a way that was totally believable - and had you praying he’d win the gold. As a kid, I thought he’d do it here. Alas, it was not to be. It’s a great contest, but Mr. Fuji’s interference leads to Yokozuna winning via the Banzai Drop. Perfect, you came so close. (May I ask, why didn’t a referee come out and contest this decision, allowing the contest to restart?) WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels vs. Razor RamonI don’t believe these two ever had a bad match. This is from the summer of 1993, so it takes place a short while before Razor became IC champion. It’s a riveting bout, but we get a DQ ending (Razor wins). I guess Razor couldn’t win the belt here, nor could he be pinned, so it’s a case of “protecting” both guys, I guess. The King’s Court with Bret HartJerry Lawler “hosts” Bret Hart. He mocks Hart - and reminds him of a legally-binding contract (allegedly) which prevents Bret for assaulting The King. Bret assaults him anyway. The crowd is happy. Enough said. Bret Hart vs. DieselFrom early 1994, so no title on the line here unlike later bouts. It’s a solid bout, and the two men work well together, as I often found they did. Now, surprisingly, we get a pinfall victory after Owen Hart’s interference leads to Diesel getting the win. I honestly thought they’d “protect” both men here with a double-DQ or something, so a surprise is always nice. This is as good as their later bouts. Bret & Owen Hart vs. The Steiner BrothersBabyface tag teams always seemed to work well against other babyface tag teams, e.g. Sting & Lex Luger vs. The Steiners at SuperBrawl I, although it does require one team to act heelish. It’s Bret who is the “heel” here with some dirty tactics, much akin to the ones he would use whenever he and Jim Neidhart took on The Rockers. This is the match of the tape, and the teams hold nothing back! We do get a double count-out ending, but the action doesn’t stop there: Scott Steiner gets on the mic and says, “Owen and Bret, we came here to beat you guys!” And Bret also gets on the mic and says, “Steiners, what are you waiting for?!” They brawl, the referees intervene, and then it’s all handshakes and making up as harmony reigns again. SummaryThere isn’t a bad match on the tape! We also do get reasonable and satisfying conclusions to the bouts - and, as stated, a surprise or two. This is a brilliant tape, and one worth seeking out. NOTE: The US tape has Bret/Diesel as the final match, and Savage/Martel as the opening match. I’d love to know the logic behind the differences at times. I watched the UK tape. |

Yeah, that Hart bros vs Steiner bros match is incredible, one of the best WWF tag matches of the 90s. An extended Hart bros run before Owen turned would've been cool

Some wrestling publications here were quite critical of 1994 as far as the WWF was concerned, but I found there was a lot to enjoy: the aforementioned tag match, Bret vs. 1-2-3 Kid on Raw, Bret vs. Owen in a cage, the novelty of Piper vs. Lawler, etc. |

I recently watched In Your House 2 from July 23, 1995.
This is from Nashville, Tennessee. Vince McMahon and Dok Hendrix on commentary.
First match is 1-2-3 Kid vs. The Roadie
Roadie wins with a piledriver off the middle ropes! Risky move, especially since Kid was recovering from a neck injury. Anyway, this was a very enjoyable match. I was a little surprised that Roadie won, but this was well done. Good opener.
Next match is Men on a Mission – King Mabel & Sir Mo vs. Razor Ramon & Savio Vega
MOM win when King Mabel gives Razor the belly to belly suplex. I expected MOM to win, but I figured Vega would eat the pin, but they are giving Mabel a big push, so they wanted him to pin the bigger star. Anyway, this was a solid tag match. Not great, but pretty good, and a bit better than I had expected.
Next we get Double J singing “With My Baby Tonight” It was good, though I don’t like country music, but we find out later (not in this show) that he was lip syncing and it was actually the Roadie’s voice. Also, Jarrett and Roadie would quit the WWF after this show, unhappy about their booking, though they’d eventually return. That’s a shame, as they had some momentum at this time.
Next is Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Henry O. Godwinn
Bigelow gets the win here. This was a decent match. Not great, but certainly not bad. Both guys are decent in the ring, actually.
Next is for the Intercontinental title: Jeff Jarrett (champ) w/ The Roadie Vs Shawn Michaels
Michaels wins when Roadie means to trip up Michaels on an Irish Whip, but winds up tripping up Jarrett instead. As Jarrett turns around and stares at Roadie, this allows Michaels to deliver the Sweet Chin Music for the win at about the 20 minute mark. This was a great match. I could have done without yet another ref bump, though.
Next is for the WWF Tag Team Titles: Owen Hart and Yokozuna (champs) w/ Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji Vs The Allied Powers (Davey Boy Smith and Lex Luger)
Owen delivers the elbow off the middle rope to Luger with the ref distracted, allowing Yokozuna to deliver the leg drop for the win. This was a fun match, mostly for the parts where it was Owen vs. Bulldog. At one point in this match there was a “USA” chant…with a British wrestler and a Canadian wrestler in the ring. I’m embarrassed by the ignorance of some American fans.
Next is a Lumberjack Match for the WWF Title: Diesel (champ) Vs Sid w/ Ted Dibiase
Diesel wins with the big boot. This was a decent match, mainly because of the lumberjacks. Without them, this would have been boring, but they were well used in this match and gave it the boost that it needed.
There really should have been a countout or DQ in this match, but of course I’m glad there wasn’t, and the lumberjack shenanigans were fun. However, the whole buildup to this match, portraying Sid as a coward, makes no sense…if you’re trying to get people to pay money to watch this match, that is.
All in all, this was a very good PPV, I thought. No bad matches (a couple that were only okay) and one great match. Probably the best PPV I’ve seen for 1995, though that’s not saying much.
There were problems with McMahon’s microphone at one point. It seems like the WWF’s production values have gone downhill over the past few years.

I quite enjoyed this PPV, too. Michaels vs. Jarrett was definitely a contender for match of the year, I felt. I think, if memory serves me right, that the “USA” chants are going to lead to a very interesting development for the Bulldog in his partnership with Lex. You may know what I am going on about, but I believe it factors into what will occur.  I have to say, I hate how Lex’s star fell during his WWF period. I mean, he main events SummerSlam ‘93. Then a year later he’s wrestling a mediocre match against Tatanka at SummerSlam ‘94. And here he’s tasting defeat in a tag match. This was Lex’s final PPV match on WWF soil; he does show up at the next one, SummerSlam ‘95, but not in a wrestling capacity. I wish he’d been given a run with some gold, whether it be world, IC or tag. Even Gorilla Monsoon mentioned it during commentary on one show. The undercard on this was pretty decent, I felt. I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of lumberjack matches, my friend, but this one was decent. And now it’s bragging time, I feel. Forgive me, but you Americans have so much that is better: cheaper fuel, free TV (we have to pay for a TV licence over here), states that are bigger than the entire UK, and cars that are bigger than anything I’ve seen on UK roads. So it’s time for us Brits, bless you, to have something you don’t. Here ya go:  Yes, as you can see, the UK videotape included two matches not screened on US TV: Bret Hart vs. Jean-Pierre LaFitte, and The Undertaker vs. Kama.  Those bouts were decent enough (Bret had a solid bout with LaFitte, and Undertaker and Kama always seemed to work well together) Anyway, enough bragging from a Brit. Back to our more expensive fuel and - the thing I hate most - UK apartment blocks that do not have balconies. Why can’t British house builders make apartment blocks with balconies? Anyway, enjoy your balconies, at least we got two bonus matches on a tape. |

As far as Lex, yeah, he fell fast and fell hard. They should have kept him as the Narcissist. At least, if you're going to turn him babyface, that patriotic babyface gimmick didn't fit him at all, and I think his downfall began with the Lex Express tour around the country, where apparently he hated driving around shaking hands and kissing babies and they wound up ending the tour early. I suspect that Vince soured on him a bit after that. I could be wrong, though. And yes, we do have much cheaper fuel than you do, but Americans still complain that it's too expensive! They have to fill up their huge SUV's, after all. As far as that UK only tape, I am a bit jealous. Well, of the Bret Hart vs. Jean-Pierre LaFitte match, anyway. |

Lex revealed recently that he didn’t get paid during that Lex Express tour. As he wasn’t wrestling matches, he didn’t get paid.
Peculiar industry, eh? I worked as a data entry clerk when I was 19. On one occasion, I was sent to do some manual work within the same company, but they still paid me. They didn’t say, “Well you’re not entering data now, so we can’t pay you.” I was still paid. You’d think they could have paid Lex something.
After that huge promotional push, I was surprised he didn’t beat Yoko for the belt. I was astonished.
It’s such a fickle business. 7-foot giant Omos main evented Money in the Bank 2022 - and had some upper-midcard feuds with the likes of Bobby Lashley. Yet he’s not been on TV or PPV for months, it’s as if they’ve forgotten about him.
I’m not sure what the WWF could have done with Lex had he remained in 1995. He certainly wasn’t likely to be in the world title picture again, with the WWF planning long-term for Bret and Shawn. An IC reign perhaps? Really, a return to being heel would have worked better as he could have challenged Razor Ramon for the IC Championship for starters.
The Allied Powers team just felt like the WWF put together two wrestlers they didn’t know what to do with.

Really, a return to being heel would have worked better as he could have challenged Razor Ramon for the IC Championship for starters. The Allied Powers team just felt like the WWF put together two wrestlers they didn’t know what to do with. Lex is being a bit disingenuous. He was not paid for the touring; but he was being paid his guarantee, as he was one of the first guys to come in with a guarantee, since he used a sports agent, long before most of the other boys. As it was, they had carried him on the WBF payroll, to get past his remaining contract, with WCW, when he started out, including during his accident, when he had the broken arm. You got more money working shows, especially PPV; but you did not receive appearance fees. However, there were merchandise percentages, too, and they sold merchandise at those appearances. Usually though, from what people have said in interviews, the WWF covered the road expenses for promotional appearances. As a wrestler, they covered plane tickets, but hotel, food, gas and rental cars came out of the wrestler's pocket. It all boils down to that "independent contractor" status, which used to be fairly legit; but became a labor dodge after people were signed to exclusive contracts. They are not free to go elsewhere and it is only because it hasn't been challenged in court that it has stood. The government has been looking at such things, recently, so it could change. Before that, a wrestler was free to book themselves elsewhere, if they had a beef with the promotion. Now, aside from lack of alternatives, they can quit, but then can't work for a rival, while their non-compete clause is in effect. You can't have it both ways. |

Tonight’s viewing:  There’s some false advertising going on here. More on that later. Stephanie Wiand (what happened to her?) hosts… The Undertaker vs. Jean-Pierre LaFitteThe Undertaker and LaFitte don’t really work well together, this is a typical 1995 match for The Undertaker - in that it feels like a glorified squash match. Taker wins via a chokeslam. Not the most exciting start to the tape. Bret Hart, Razor Ramon & Savio Vega vs. Yokozuna, Owen Hart & HakushiThis was shown in clipped form on the tape Confirmed Hits. Here we have the full bout. And what a fun bout it is, with an interesting mix of partners and opponents. It’s a tight contest, and Savio gets the win for his team after pinning Hakushi. An excellent bout. Shawn Michaels vs. Tom PrichardThis is the match of the tape! Michaels has to contend with Jimmy Del Ray, who is ringside. It’s a fun bout, and both men squeeze as much out of the little airtime they are given, just over 7 minutes. Michaels wins after a superkick. Michaels never seemed to phone it in, even when his opponents weren’t necessarily dream opponents. Adam Bomb vs. Jerry “The King” LawlerI can’t explain why, but I feel Bomb should have been given the win here. Instead, Lawler, after many shenanigans and some cheating, pins Bomb (thanks to having his feet on the ropes). It’s a fun bout, but it did feel like Bomb was being used as glorifed enhancement talent towards the end of his run. Bob Holly & Alundra Blayze vs. Bull Nakano & HakushiThe novelty of a mixed tag match is definitely a bonus, I feel. All four work well together, and we get a feelgood ending as Blayze pins Nakano. Bret Hart vs. Jimmy Del RayAt over five minutes, there really isn’t time for these men to assemble a five-star match, but they work well within the limits of the running time. It’s a solid bout, and Bret wins via the sharpshooter. The Allied Powers vs. Jeff Jarrett & The RoadieGorilla Monsoon comments on how mysterious it is that gold has eluded Lex during his WWF tenure. All four guys seemed motivated, although I did read that Davey Boy wasn’t keen on being paired with Lex (anyone know if that is true?). It’s a brilliant bout, which ends with a clean win after Davey Boy powerslams The Roadie. The Smoking Gunns vs. Men on a MissionThis follows the WWF tag team formula well, and it’s pretty heated as the Gunns and M.O.M. had some history at this point. Both teams have good chemistry, and Billy gets the win after pinning Mo. This was a decent feud in 1995. Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon vs. Jeff JarrettAnd here we have false advertising. The sleeve of this tape advertises a “Steel Cage Match” - so you’d expect the cage with the blue bars, right? What we actually get is the Roadie suspended in a cage above the ring, preventing him from interfering. So not a steel cage match at all, just a regular bout between the Bad Guy and Double J, with the Roadie out of commission. Such shameless false advertising, shame on you, WWF. Anyway, it’s only a passable bout, and it ends with a double count-out, but we do see Razor then beat on Roadie - and give him the Razor’s Edge. Not a good match to end the tape on. SummaryI’d give this tape 3 stars. No, make that 2 for the false advertising. When you’re expecting the cage with the blue bars, based on the advertising on the sleeve, and you merely get a henchman suspended in a cage above a regular wrestling match, that point is deservedly deducted. This isn’t the best WrestleFest tape, if I’m honest, but a few good bouts make it worthwhile. I believe this was the final WrestleFest tape, at least on UK soil and at least as far as compilations go. I don’t know about the US. Things did often differ, and some things were rebranded. I mean, for some pecular reason, the WWF put out a tape called “Winter Combat ‘96” which was basically some matches from IYH IV and V. And when IYH XII was shown here on satellite TV, it was called “Christmas Mania”. So perhaps there were some more WrestleFest tapes in North America, but 1995 is where it ended in the UK. |

There used to be a clip on Youtube, from a French program, showing him training for wrestling, at the start of his career and, if memory serves, he executes a flying head scissor. There are some other clips of him, as Jean Ferre, and he is bumping with headlock takeovers and similar stuff. He was pretty agile through the early 70s and still fairly agile up until he broke his leg, in the early 80s, then he gets less so (plus the acromegaly was starting to be more and more of an issue). |

Last night’s viewing:  I’m really not sure what “Confirmed Hits” means. Does that mean someone has released some “Unconfirmed Hits”? Oh well. WWF Champion Diesel vs. YokozunaGiven this is less than a minute long, it’s a pretty good bout. It’s a good big man bout. It didn’t need to be longer. There’s some brawling, Diesel attempts a Jack Knife, fails, Yokozuna attempts a Banzai Drop, misses - and Diesel gets the pin. Honestly, who could complain here? We didn’t need a 15-minute bout filled with rest-holds. This is the WWF equivalent of Superman arresting a bank robber while on the way to work. We see Big Daddy Cool vanquish Yokozuna, and that is all that matters. WWF Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon vs. GoldustFrom the 1996 Royal Rumble we have Razor losing his belt to Goldust after The 1-2-3 Kid interferes. This bout didn’t need to be on here as it was already on the PPV tape. It also felt more like a homophobic angle than a match. WWF Champion Bret Hart vs. British BulldogFrom IYH V (December 1995). Joined in progress. WHY?! This match is already on the IYH V tape, so people can see it in full there - and what a great match it is, I would argue it’s better than their Wembley Stadium bout. Bret wins via pinfall. I just don’t get why an edited PPV bout already available on another tape is here. Coliseum Video were odd at times. The Undertaker vs. Isaac Yankem, D.D.SA pretty pointless bout, if you ask me, from a feud I had no interest in. To the surprise of nobody, Undertaker wins via Tombstone. Bret Hart, Savio Vega & Razor Ramon vs. Yokozuna, Owen Hart & HakushiTHIS WAS ON THE WRESTLEFEST ‘95 TAPE. More recycling. Of the five matches on this short tape, three are “recycled”. WHY? Will someone please track down a Coliseum Video employee and ask them who made these decisions? It’s a great bout (Savio Vega wins after pinning Hakushi) with an interesting mix of wrestlers, but you can see it for full on the other tape. SummaryThe title of the tape makes no sense. It features “recycled” matches (in clipped form). Given the other matches that could have been used (e.g. from Raw), the existence of this release, and the match selection, will remain a mystery for all eternity. One to avoid. |

Thirty years ago today, WCW World Champion Hulk Hogan fought Ric Flair in Wembley Arena (in front of only 2,000 fans). The event was part of a European tour. Oddly, WCW would not return to Europe until 2000 despite WCW-starved Europeans being desperate for action.
Perhaps when Hogan continually lies about having wrestled in front of “80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium”, he actually means 2,000 fans in Wembley Arena. But in his work of fiction…erm, I mean his autobiography, he mentions 1992 and Wembley Stadium. He has not deviated from that lie. I don’t believe he’s getting Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena mixed up (even some Brits get those places mixed up), I believe he’s truly convinced himself he was at SummerSlam ‘92. He’s full of it.
