Sounds like you're trying to do a "Turn your Crank to Frank" advertisement for wrestling music gimmicks.

"Van Hammer!" :haw:

God drat, count me in as also not knowing he ever went back to that gear in WCW. And what a fuckin' main event – Beefcake vs Duggan in, what? 1998? 1999? Woof.

I'm watching the second WCW all-nighter for the first time in probably 20 years. Gordon Solie has just popped in to join Okerlund, Schiavone, Heenan and Dusty.

The commercials are just as nostalgic. Back-to-back were ads for The Mask on VHS and a Jaguar ad featuring Doom.

Yikes, I guess he dropped the biker gear and...cut his hair? the second Warrior left.

Did Ed Leslie ever have a character that worked, besides Beefcake? I mean, Beefcake didn't work for me, but I guess it was sort of a coherent thing for awhile.

Well, I mean, he did main event Starrcade '94 against Hogan as "The Butcher", but that was basically Beefcake, so... no?

I have no idea, though, if the Boulder Brothers were actually what you'd call "successful".

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Little kid me loved "Brutus the barber Beefcake".

I also loved the way his opponents would sell having a small lock of hair cut from their flowing 80s manes as if they had been stabbed in the face several times.

Same here - he was one of the few WWF action figures who came with an accessory. I still have those shears around here somewhere.

I think it was something like a clothesline involves a straight arm, and a lariat has a slightly bent one. Something like that.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I always thought it was a clothesline when you hold your arm rigid, but with a lariat there’s forward movement of the arm

Isn't a lariat when you run your arm into the other guy and a clothesline when the other guy runs into your arm

I mean if we're actually hashing this out...a clothesline requires the opponent to be knocked down by your outstretched arm. It's still a clothesline if you're running at them and they're standing still, but it has to hit them like, y'know, a clothesline would hit somebody who accidentally ran into it. In football terms, it's a "stiff arm."

Now if you swing your forearm into someone's neck, that's a lariat. You can lariat someone in the corner, but you can't clothesline someone in the corner.
