Why don't they announce the time of the fall in wrestling matches anymore? I always felt it added a nice "realistic" touch to matches.
I agree with you, announcing the match times does add a "realistic" feeling to things. I know WWF continued to announce match times at arena shows until the end of the 80's/early 90's, while they didn't announce it at TV tapings (probably because the matches were so short). Then again, you rarely ever even see a time limit draw anymore, so it would appear that the "clock" has sort of lost it's importance in wrestling (unless it's an Ironman match).
What in your mind was the worst WWF/E show in history in terms of storylines and matches?
The Great American Bash 2004 immediately springs to mind. This was the show that included such unmemorable classics as Kenzo Suzuki vs. Billy Gunn, Sable vs. Torrie Wilson, Mordecai vs. Bob Holly and Undertaker beating the Dudleys by himself and then burying Paul Bearer in concrete. Also JBL won the WWE Title from Eddie Guerrero in a bullrope match that saw the same tired finish that we've seen in bullrope/chain/strap matches for ten years (face knocks heel into winning corner while going for it himself).
To your knowledge, was there ever going to be a sequel to the wrestling movie ...All the Marbles? Would a sequel be possible even today?
No sequel plans. The movie wasn't that big of a success, and being a cult favorite amongst some fans wouldn't be enough to have someone create a sequel today.
My question is about the Batista and the late Eddie Guerrero. Before he past away, Eddie and Batista were tag teaming and doing there thing. What was the plan for these two. Was WWE making a future match for these guys or were they just gonna remain the way they were?
At some point, it was inevitable that they'd end up wrestling again, but I believe WWE planned on keeping them as partners for at least a little longer at the time.
I remember reading once where women wrestlers were not allowed to wrestle in New York until sometime in the 70's. Is this true and, if so, why?
Indeed, it is true. Chalk it up to another dumb State Athletic Commission rule that was antiquated and needed to be taken off the books in New York (like the one banning masked wrestlers). When it was finally removed, The Fabulous Moolah defeated Vickie Williams in the first Women's match ever in Madison Square Garden on July 1, 1972.
