One of my favorite Barry Darsow characters... Repo Man Vignette circa '91"What's mine is mine, and what's yours, is mine too!"Love these vignettes. Especially love the segment with him from Invasion of the Bodyslammers which is basically all of these vignettes compiled, but he steals Bill Alfonso's car and goes to a video store and it's just a hell of a fun time. |

This may have been the first of Darsow's wacky gimmicks (rookie year, 24 years old). Here he works New Zealand in the role of the powerhouse Mongolian 'Zar' with a feats of strength montage. His first foray into the realm of ethnic chicanery (both Darsow and his fellow Mongolian partner were from Minnesota)!

Big Show Body Slam Challenge/Tough Enough circa '04
Looking back, I liked these in ring Tough Enough segments. There is always going to be a need for time fillers, and this was at least a bit raw and different from the same old same old. Out of this group of kids, Daniel Puder (winner), Mike Mizanin (Miz), Ryan Reeves (The Ryback) and Nick Mitchell (Spirit Squad Nick) would get to the main roster. At the time, Daniel Rodimer was said to be the office favorite, but he struggled in the developmental program and was eventually released in '07.

A look back at Teddy Hart's controversial antics at an ROH house show in NJ. While he wasn't part of a major promotion at the time, Teddy was somewhat famous on the Indy scene due to his family pedigree (he is the grandson of Stu Hart and nephew of Bret). At the time he was 23, with 8 years of ring time (started training at age 15).This was a big story with-in the IWC when it happened, bringing to the forefront issues of safety, respect and proper etiquette. Teddy Hart/ROH Incident 11/1/03Our affiliate site, Online World of Wrestling, has a much more in depth piece that covers the incident in greater detail, including comments from then ROH stars CM Punk and Steve Corino: Courtesy of Online World of Wrestling
Teddy Annis, Son of a Hart
By Mark Rose"On November 1st, 2003; Teddy Hart made his second appearance for Ring of Honor in a scramble cage match featuring Teddy and his partner Jack Evans, The Backseat Boyz (Johnny Kashmere and Trent Acid), The SAT's (Jose and Joel Maximo), The Carnage Crew (Tony Devito and HC Loc), and Special K's Hydro and Angeldust. At the end of the match The Backseat Boyz had won and were celebrating their victory when Teddy Hart decided to stop selling and began doing repeated dives off of the top of the cage. The moonsaults and shooting star presses he began doing on the other workers were unplanned and therefore very dangerous to the workers below him who had no chance to prepare for the move to protect themselves and also to protect Teddy himself who of course would need to be caught properly. The Carnage Crew grabbed Teddy and attempted to beat him down for real to stop him but he continued. Teddy's actions and his attitude when he got back to the ROH locker room angered ROH management and also his fellow workers to the point where they wanted to go after him in the locker room but they were stopped by ROH officials. Teddy was then thrown out of the building bags and all. His actions not only showed a disrespect for the business by no showing the finish of the match but also a complete disregard for his safety as well as the safety of his fellow workers. Teddy showed no wrestling etiquette whatsoever by acting like a complete idiot doing dives to grandstand and to pop the crowd for his own benefit." |

This was from Jim Barnett's Australia based WCW promotion. When it came to cadence and voice projection, few wrestlers past or present, could hold a candle to Mr. Iaukea. RIP
King Curtis Promo circa '65

Basic 'I'm my own man' booking by Heyman, but Cena sure did run with the ball after it was handed to him. In fact few have run further and/or longer.

This is from Jim Crockett Promotions circa May '88. A breakdown of Barry Windham turning heel and joining the Four Horsemen. At this stage, Barry was arguably among the top 5 workers in the country, perhaps top 10 in the world. In an alternate universe, who knows how far a healthy, focused BW would have gone. Among Dusty's best booked angles.

A look back at Dynamite Kid's career altering back injury, and how the WWF booked the necessary tag title change. When watching as a kid, I was oblivious to the real reasons behind the two on one, it was pulled off really well by all involved. In the interim to dropping the belts, Davey Boy would defend with a wide array of substitute partners: Sivi Afi, Blackjack Mulligan, Cpl. Kirchner, Junkyard Dog, Roddy Piper, Tito Santana, Billy Jack Haynes, Bruno Sammartino and even The Crusher! I'd love to check some of those out.
