History Comes Inside! posted:It could be worse, late 90s/Early 00s britwres was wall to wall with even less imaginative WWE ‘tribute’ gimmicks. There was a hardcore match and a bunch of small children rushed the ring and started playing with the weapons.

I saw live wrestling in the British coastal town of Skegness. The high spot of the night was an over-the-shoulder back breaker. Nobody was pretending to be Kane but there was a fat white guy doing yellowface

I saw live wrestling when I was a child in Bultin's and they told us we could cheer and boo how we liked and some American wrestler came out to Real American and we all cheered this nice overseas visitor only for him to cut a promo on how stupid and ugly we were and that's how I learned Americans are bad.

civilwhat posted:Thats the match with Jinsei Shinzaki after the Great Muta killed him a year earlier. quote:In October 1997, the Hakushi character was brought up to go against WWF's "Dead Man" The Undertaker. Hakushi was now an undead as well due to having been "killed" in his match with Muta, and was introduced in a coffin by an entourage of Japanese traditional pallbearers, showing in his clothes the same blood stains he had got in said match. He faced Undertaker, but was defeated after a Tombstone Piledriver and entombed in the mountains of Tohoku. Wrestling, baby.

Bryan Danielson did those tours back in like 2000 under the American Dragon name so depending how old you are I really hope it was him.

I would give it my vote. - Squeegee. - S-I-M-P: Squirrels in my pants! - We're live, pal! - Being part of one of the worst matches ever with the Nighstalker. - TWENTY TWO?! - The inexplicable fake Goldberg streak. - The scissors promo. - I don't know poo poo, crybaby! - Shaving cream to the face during his barbershop rampage. - Hogan being a gigantic baby at the Royal Rumble and WWF's insistence that Sid was the heel. - That time when Hogan called him back to the ring at the end of SummerSlam 91 and a nervous Sid peaked through the curtain, with Piper commentating that he looked like the Grim Reaper. - Horrible as it was, everything going on around his nasty leg break was ridiculous. - Half the brain. - Said to have poo poo himself in a match with the Undertaker. - I SAID THE SCISSORS PROMO! - Screaming his head off at both RoboCop and the Shockmaster. - Having his own Christmas carol. - Those movie segments he did with Vader. - Broke Vince by getting more cheers than Michaels at MSG. Somehow the man only had two WrestleMania matches and they were both the main events. God bless Sid.

Remember when Sid was about to debut in WWF and everyone was cutting promos like, "well I think he's going to be MY friend!" "Actually, he's going to join OUR tag team!" Was that weird or what

MrBling posted:Sid coming out after matches to murder jobbers and then adding them to his streak was great. Rob Naylor calls Sid 'King of the Wimpy Matches' because he was so good at it. I genuinely think there's a place in wrestling for people like Sid. From what I gather, Sid's ambition in wrestling was satisfied main eventing the Mid-South Coliseum and didn't really care about anything after so it would have been interesting to watch his career if that was not the case.

One that stuck with me was Randy Savage on an obscure WB sitcom called Nikki about a showgirl married to an indie wrestler. Savage played another indie wrestler who was considered a legend in his circle, but never hit the big time and was instead depicted as a broken down failure who could barely make ends meet.
