Jmare007 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I remember a horrible battle royal in PWG that was saved in the last 5-7 minutes by what Piper and Funk did against each other. Can't remember how the singles match that followed (in another indy promotion) was though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 On the Rock/HBK earlier, I remember reading somewhere the Rock hated Shawn before even becoming a wrestler, because was a jerk to his Grandma on a show she booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidebottom Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yeah but Rock/Shawn must have happened at least once in 97, especially when the NOD feuded with DX. Â Nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooley Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Funk and Piper have faced each other in recent years. The match got some praise. Â Piper and Savage faced each other a few times. Â I remember Piper taking on Savage on house shows when he came back in '89. The Apter mags even had a cover story on it, saying something like "Piper beating Savage scares Hogan".

PeteF3 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 There are JCP promos out there for a Piper-Funk house show match in Toronto (with Funk claiming that his mother is Canadian, I guess to ingratiate himself as the babyface).

flyonthewall2983 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think Piper/Savage also happened before Roddy left in '87, most notably in the 6-mans leading up to WM 3 but also in some single matches too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Not singles but I was at a house show in 98 that had DX vs Vader/LOD/Droz. Always remember the big vs little spot where Waltman goes to pin Vader and Vader launches him off across the ring.

Death From Above Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think Flair wrestled Stan Hansen once, but it isn't on tape as far as I know. So that sort of qualifies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfman Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I know it happened but I cannot find any evidence of Billy Graham vs Andre happening other than some arm wrestling matches.

mookeighana Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Rude and Bret had interactions during the Hennig feud in WCW but no matches to the best of my opinion. The only WWF interaction I found was a mystery Italy card that claimed that Rick Rude pinned Bret Hart in April 1989, but supplies no other details. There was three Italy shows around that time: Sassari, Cagliari, Palermo (April 11 - April 13 1989) and another unnamed Italy card suggests that these matches happened: Lanny Poffo pinned Barry Horowitz with a moonsault Andre the Giant pinned Tito Santana with a sit-down splash WWF Women's Champion Rockin Robin pinned Sensational Sherri Mr. Perfect pinned the Blue Blazer with the Perfect Plex WWF Tag Team Champions Demolition defeated the Powers of Pain via disqualification  It's possible Rude/Bret was also on that card but that's all I know.
