At first, I thought that maybe Russo had booked this, but no… If this was Russo’s doing, he would have had Robo, David Arquette, and Judy Bagwell in a three-way-dance for the strap. |

I remember when I went with my dad to the old Maple Leaf Gardens here in TOronto back in 1986 as a kid to watch Savage defend his newly aquired IC title against Tito Santana in a rematch....Savage came out...then ran back to the locker room....and came out again with the IC title. He forgot his title in the locker room. Lol... |

I wonder if that was intentional. From what everyone's said, all of the Poffo's were extremely professional and reliable. Either that, or maybe Liz wasn't the only thing Macho kept locked up in the dressing room. |

He started to come through the curtain, but then ran back and came back out. I was able to catch it because I sat exactly opposite the aisle. It was a house show (non televised event) so no one would have caught it. Pretty funny thought. |

I think it was about 20+ years ago I read in a magazine that a champ once left his belt at an arena, and a janitor found & returned it.
I want to say it was Flair, but that doesn't sound right.
Who the hell was that?

I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something that just makes this match pop: |

Absolutely.
I liked Rude's, too.
And, Francine looked yummy to boot!

Francine is definately hot. But why the hell was Rude wearing a mask there/ You could clearly tell it was him by his voice, build and mannerisms. |

IIRC - the angle saw Rude originally show up in ECW under a mask, taunting Douglas.
It was very obviously him, and they made no effort to hide it.
I presume he continued wearing the mask for heat.

Check out the bumps Harley takes towards the end. I believe this was after his health problems and major surgery. |

It's funny to think that as big and legit tough Simmons was, Harley would have probably beaten his ass for real back in the day... also, man Jesse DWARFS Simmons. Forgot just how big he was/is. |

Harley & Simmons probably would have become drinking buddies had they worked & traveled together long enough.
They could have been wrestling's first incantation of the "APA."
And, yes, Jesse was a big dude - tall & muscular.
He claimed to still have 18” guns when campaigning for governor in ‘97.
Ron Simmons is one of the most underrated wrestlers ever, IMO.
I really believe most people forgot that he was a WCW world champion.
Additionally, he was the first black WCW h-w champ.
Then, Vince brought him in and gave him that stupid-ass “Farooq” gimmick.
WTF??
The Nation didn’t do much for him, either - although I did like his work with Layfield in the APA once they ditched the Apocalyptic/Satanic bullshit with Taker (who didn‘t even like it).
Ron was a hard worker and a good worker.
I simply can’t understand why he’s seemingly left out of the wrestling history books.

I agree with you on all points. We used to call that dumb gimmick "Fa-reak." Hated it and he didn't need it one bit. And the APA stuff was good after that silly satanic crap. Should have left that stuff to Sullivan in 80's Florida, who nailed it. I think Ron suffers because business in WCW was down during that time period. It was such a transition going on with territory wrestling dying and nobody was sure what was going to happen. |
