I'd totally enjoy a Bob Holly type. Scorpio I always figure was 2-Zap (2 Cold Scoprio fused with Tupac) Tatanka maybe an 80s Wahoo type changing to Tatanka in the 90s. Still surprised there's no Snow equivalent. An Al Snow based card (who knows....Hail Hal) would get you a tag team with 90s Jesse Wild and could eventually bridge into a guy carrying a rubber foot as a prop, then feud with Bail Bondsman. |

Should totally make the foot a manager and give them OP stats |

I actually created my own image for a Duke Drose, but my PC wrecked itself before I could post it. It was a picture of Crash, in a grey jump suit, with a hat turned backwards, some scruff on his face, and holding a trash can. And right above his head was the swirling cloud of dust above just like The Peanut's Pigpen character.

Here's another morsel of data for your healthy chewing. I compiled a list of wrestlers from WWE PPVs who are currently not represented in 80sWM, based on number of PPV appearances. Here are the Top 10 lists for you apreciation: 1980-1989 --------- 1. Don Muraco - 10 2. One Man Gang - 8 3. Bad news Brown, Hillbilly Jim, Leilani Kai, Paul Roma, Jim Powers - 6 8. Warlord, Terry Taylor, Ron Bass, Judy Martin, Danny Davis, Bob Orton, Barbarian - 5 1990-1999 --------- 1. Brian Armstrong - 38 2. Savio vega - 36 3. Jeff Jarrett - 34 4. Bob Holly - 29 5. D'lo Brown - 28 6. Charles Wright (Papa Shango, Godfather, Kama, Goodfather, etc.) - 26 7. Al Snow, Marc Mero - 25 9. Rikishi Fatu - 21 10. Tatanka - 20 Now keep in mind that these take into account EVERY PPV...so the numbers increase in the 90s cos they had a lot more PPvs a year. So I've wanted this to be Sumo San for a while now, but what if... 80-85 Don Muraco parody Heel, managed by Professor Gigawatt (in place of Grand Wizard) 85-89 Face, maybe a slight name change to more embrace Muraco's "The Rock" nickname (GRANITE? Brian Boulder/The Boulder?) 90s... dyes his hair blond, dances with his partner MC Frosty, while also embracing his Pacific Islander heritage that he will pass down to his son... Introducing SAMOA |

I love all the pride you put into doing these number crunches and comparisons. It's the kind of thing I usually do myself. Just curious if you have plans to do any stats on Crocket/WCW or if you want help on that side since you seem way more of a WWF/E fan. I loved all of the feds and just had a VCR (feel so old, phone thinks it needs to auto correct VCR) recording one while watching the other if they came on the same night, or recorded both when WCW did a replay the same night as their show. Oops I' rabbit trailing, so just let me/us know of any plans please. That way none of us steps on your toes or does the same work you're already doing. |

Oops I' rabbit trailing, so just let me/us know of any plans please. That way none of us steps on your toes or does the same work you're already doing. Thank for the kind feedback, for starters. As to your question, Yes I have also tabulated all of the WCW/NWA PPV results at one point, dating all the way back to the very first Starrcade. Unfortunately, I suffered a rather heavy hard drive loss in 2020 and can't seem to find those particular set of stats. But I am going to check my PC at work to see what I can find. Rest assured I will gladly post stats on that if I do recover them. This whole stats database was years in the making while I figured out a way to set the data up in such a way that I could easily (somewhat) run queries and obtain specific results. Believe it or not a lot of the coding work I did stemmed from an old debate back in 07-08 about how many times Cena and Orton had faced each other on PPV. Some funny facts: - I originally only did the Big Four PPvs for WWE. - For the WCW stats, I went all the way back to the first Starrcade and worked my way to the very last one in 2001. - I originally didn't record the Women's match results and at one point had to go all the way back and re do them all lol. If I can't recover the WCW stats I will gladly welcome your help in populating the data file. I'll let you know! |
