If Sabu does not verse Lobo in a hardcore match during this tour in my oppinion it would be quite a waste.

If Sabu does not verse Lobo in a hardcore match during this tour in my oppinion it would be quite a waste. Only place he could do so would be in Wollongong since he is booked up on other show days. I'd like to see Sabu take on Lobo but would it draw the casual fans? Lobo isnt known by many people... |

fans won't care who he's against, Sabu's coming off a very hot run with WWE.
His mention at shows recently has created a lot of buzz amongst children who I'm sure wouldn't have known who he was if it weren't for the new wwECW revival last year.

Anyone got that full pic of Shenron? All I could find was a dodgy one with ropes through it with the DG fan site.

it says Shenlong on the poster and Question is spelt wrong Shelong is spelt wrong it's definetly Shenron. The spelling mistake isnt that bad aslong as the proper times and prices are on it it's all good. |

Good luck finding a decent picture of Shenron anywhere, your best bet would be the DGUSA forum and asking.
In response to Lobo and whether he'd be a "draw" in a match with someone like Sabu, let me ask is there anyone in Australian wrestling who is a genuine drawcard? There's a lot of good to great wrestlers, but whether it's TNT or Ryan Eagles or Mason Childs or Mark Mercedes (not shitting on any of them, just high profile examples), to most fans it won't mean squat, loyalists maybe, but to the casual fans that make up the bulk of the audience no one is really a "star".
In my humble opinion, if AWF is paying a large sum of money to get Sabu out here and I assume Sabu doesn't come cheap, it would be inane to put him in a match that wouldn't deliver a result worthy of what he'd be paid. In my mind if you have a "name" being flown in, it makes sense to match them up with someone who can work their style, two cases in point, TNT vs CIMA worked well, TNT vs Pondo was a turgid mess.
So if you're looking at putting someone up against Sabu you'd need someone who could not only work not just a good normal match, but someone who could work deathmatch style and in kayfabe terms look like a credible threat to Sabu. To be honest there's probably no one on the regular AWF roster who fits that bill, so that leaves a situation of looking outside at occasional AWF wrestlers to fill the void, people like Krackerjack, Steve Frost (if he'd unretire), Mad Dog, Spike Steele and Jason Helton would fit the bill, being honest pretty much all of the "regular" AWF crew being in the match would be one hell of a stretch of suspension of disbelief.
On a positive note, Gamma vs TNT should be fun, TNT works best with those of that style and Gamma's charisma alone should make it good. Shenron vs Theo should be a lot of fun, Shenron is pretty spotty but Theo brings the best out in a lot of guys and will probably make a good base for the high flyer, haven't looked at anything re: the show yet.

I was never saying Sabu vs Lobo would draw, I was trying to say what you were with that Lobo would be the best fit style wise and the best for a hardcore match. If not Lobo, id say Krackerjack.

That sounds like a good match but I still think they should of had Lobo verse him.

Didn't Lobo do something with the Dudleyz a while back?

Didn't Lobo do something with the Dudleyz a while back? He jobbed to them on International Assault 1 and got his ass kicked and then was replaced by Lee Starr  |
