NEW JAPAN ON AXS, THE BLACK SCORPION, THE DYNAMIC DUDES AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2017-10-07 10:00:00

The Table for 3 episode with Cornette, Bischoff and Hayes was good but Hayes seemed to be the mediator. Why wouldn’t they put Paul Heyman in there instead? That being said, do you think Vince, Bischoff and Heyman would ever happen?

I think the idea was to see what would happen when Cornette and Bischoff, who hadn't said positive things about each other, were face to face.  Heyman is a pretty big personality, so that may have upset the balance there.  I'd love to see the episode you proposed but don't see Vince doing it.

When is Jeff Jarrett returning to GFW?

No word on when Jarrett will be back.

I seem to remember a skateboard tag team when I was a kid, but my friends thing I am crazy.  Any idea who this team was?

You are probably thinking of the Dynamic Dudes from WCW, Shane Douglas and Johnny Ace aka John Laurinaitis.

I keep trying to watch New Japan on AXS but the matches are at least a few months old.  Is there any chance to network will get current content?

I don't see them playing the content the same week New Japan presents it because the commentary for English audiences is done in post.  I think you should take the idea that if you've never seen it, it's new to you!  As someone who used t have to haunt down Japanese video stores that imported VHS tapes and rent them, I am amazed and overjoyed that fans can watch NJPW live and even on TV, in English!

Who was the original Black Scorpion that wrestled Sting on the Clash of Champions?  I know it was revealed to be Ric Flair but that certainly wasn't him in the first match.

I believe it was "Angel of Death" Dave Shelton and/or Al Perez.
