Iron Sheik. Mighty M.

(2018 Update: Video set to PRIVATE until further notice. Sorry.)

From the Grand Masters Of Wrestling DVD, former WWF Champion The Iron Sheik faces off against The Mighty Maccabee in a high school gym.

The match was uploaded to YouTube by user onetwosixx in four parts and this is the whole match in one video, including the pre-match promo from Iron Sheik. The quality is not fantastic, but it’s an interesting little find.

On a sidenote, this video is age-restricted by Dailymotion for some reason. I guess the second penis forming out of Sheiky Baby’s belly button is too much for Dailymotion’s standards.

Some quick BluRay notes…

Recently acquired the Best Of WWE at MSG Blu-Ray… slightly jiffed that they didn’t include Bret/Austin from Survivor Series ’96 (it’s not the Mania match, but it’s still a fine watch indeed), but then again, it’s been on a handful of other sets already, so no biggie. Other than that, it’s a nice little time capsule showing off the various eras of WWE. The funny part about the set is that it’s hosted by Matt Striker, who had been future endeavored by WWE some time ago… Oops.

Seriously, though, not a bad set of matches.

Brooke Hogan Fired From TNA… And No Shits Were Given

Granted, she was part of a major storyline on Impact… or at least, that’s what I hear since I rarely (if ever) watch TNA these days… but seriously, who honestly gives a shit about Brooke Hogan these days?

Mania 30 Main Event Scrapped… Because It Sucks.

Interesting tidbit regarding a potential “main event” at the upcoming Wrestlemania XXX. For those who desire not teh spoilers, do not click the break. All I can say is that… thank fuck this idea is scrapped.

For those who are curious and do not mind teh spoilers, read onwards.

From the Blog Of Doom (and the dirtsheets)

Originally Planned Main Event for WrestleMania 30 Has Been Scrapped

The planned match, which would feature HHH vs. Steve Austin (who would be representing Vince) for control of the company will not take place. No word on what caused the match to be scrapped or if they are planning to replace Austin with another wrestler.

Haven’t heard this bounce around all that much, but I do recall it being an idea or two tossed around. Whatever might have caused this match to not take place is probably a Godsend. The last thing we need is another “Wrestlemania Moment” featuring a sleep-inducing HHH match – although make no mistake; we’ll still get that one, just with someone other than Austin.

On top of that… of all the ideas that have been shot together that were considered for a possible Steve Austin return to the ring, THAT’S the best they could come up with?

Sad that a video game does a better job of hyping up a non-existent dream match than the WWE script monkeys could.
