Why did WWE replay an edited version of Monday's Raw on Tuesday?
It was an attempt to give Tough Enough a lead-in to assist with the ratings of the episode.
Much is made of WWE instituting a Wellness Program after Eddie's death, which is great but overdue: Shouldn't they have learned the same lesson from the death of Brian Pillman?
In a perfect world, yes, but at the time, while this isn't really a good excuse, WWF was in a war against WCW at the time and the last thing either side wanted to do at the time was give the other side an advantage. That sounds really callous in hindsight but at the time, the business was still in the "Wild, Wild West" mode and WWF was coming from a position where they hadn't turned their company around yet, were hurting for money and were years away from going public. It was a different era. WCW failed to take action where Louie Spicoli died in 1996 as well. It's beyond sad looking back but there's nothing anyone can do except hopefully learn from the past. WWE has done a really good job with their Wellness Policy and have come a long way in terms of assisting talents, past and present, with their health and with preparing for their post-WWE future.
In your tribute to the late Cora Combs you stated that she was the answer to a trivia question. In 1972 Cora Combs faced Princess TiTi in a match held in New York State. It was the first time a womens wrestling match had ever taken place within the state of New York. I always understood that in 1972 the first womens wrestling match held in New York was between The Fabulous Moolah and Vickie Williams. Can you clear this up for me? Thank You.
The Moolah bout was the first in Madison Square Garden.
Any idea why part of the crowd was blurred out during this week's ROH TV show? I noticed it a couple of times during the Adam Page vs. Watanabe bout.
Something that didn't make it past the company's standards & practices was displayed. I don't know what it is.
Most wrestlers get injured (major as well as minor). Can you think of any wrestlers who have never been injured, and have not lost any ringtime, except to take some time off? Two come to mind. Kane and Jericho, although I know there are many others. (And I'm talking veterans, in the business 10 years or longer.)
I don't think there is anyone who has worked regularly without getting banged up in some regard. Lots of guys work through being hurt, so I don't think there's a real answer to this one.
