just finished watching taker vs hogan from 91 was very surprised that hogan got the win by pin i know he was the champ and everything but considering they were building up taker's character at the time the most i expected was hogan to win by countout

Pretty gutsy of that fan to almost swipe Taker's hat during his entrance for that match.

As for the WWE Universe Choices the following matches won:
Undertaker vs. Ric Flair (week 2) Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle from No Way Out 2006 Someone else suggested Undertaker/higher power moment - We are planning on airing that in January. No promises yet, due to blurring issues but I'd say 65% chance it shows up at some point that month! |

Quick correction, the Undertaker vs. Tugboat match you have listed as from Maple Leaf Gardens actually took place at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario. I can´t view the match myself until I get home so I don´t know if the announcers say the wrong arena or something (which they would do sometimes) or maybe your tape was labelled wrong.
By the way, I am guessing you were unable to find the Taker vs. Bulldog match from 11/30/91 from Copps Coliseum that you were hoping to air (Undertaker´s only successful 1st title defense that is on tape)? And great to see the Taker vs. Flair match from 92 won as I love that match. Tee early days of the Undertaker character are really great to relive. |

We looked for the match! How cool would it have been to air it? Unfortunately it seems to be an un-televised show. As for the other Undertaker/Tugboat match - our tapes had it labeled being at the Maple Leaf Gardens. Perhaps they had two events that day in Canada? We know Copps and MLG were two different places? Coming Monday/Tuesday we'll check the dates again. If we're wrong we're update the info! |

It was definitely Copps based on the arena setup and Sean Mooney (Who?!?) noted they were in Copps.
Just out of curiosity, are there any plans to add a few random Survivor Series matches this month similiar to what you guys did in August for SummerSlam? Kudos on the Taker/Angle match going in. |

Copps is in Hamilton, MLG was in Toronto. Not very far apart.
I love the divider layout... technically everything is still in the same order (for the 1st week, anyway) but it looks nice and will be handy for weeks 2-4. The Hogan/Taker match taped in July 91 was an interesting addition for sure. I was pretty good about watching all the Coliseum Videos around that time (it's when I first got into wrestling) but I guess I never rented Hulkamania 6. |

Between that Taker hogan Match, and His Loss To Tito Santana in spain, WWE was Rewriting History again, leading into Survivor Series 91, Billing him as the Undefeated Undertaker. Even though He was Defeated in front of thousands and thousands of fans.

Undertaker vs Tugboat = Boring, sleeper hold after sleeper hold, followed by a double clothesline, a botched slam attempt and after a impressive walking the toprope elbow drop, the legend that was tugboat follows this bore by no selling the finishing move.
