Hoss Corncave posted:Wrestlemania X7 in the Gimmick Battle Royale? That was great because everyone else was a giant, fatbodied mess and hillbilly jim was just happy and fit. He was also the sanest and most sober person on legends house.

DeathChicken posted:Rick Martel became so drat good after the heel turn. He just gets better from here I've said it many many times, but Jake Roberts feud with Martel was just magic on so many levels. Watching it now out of context, I'm perfectly aware that it's cornball as gently caress and horribly cheesy, but god was it great to watch unfold live. Also, the thing about dusty was that he was ugly, fat, bled like a stuck pig and could talk entire arenas into frenzies. His matches just didn't even really matter, though as plenty of people said, he had some good to great ones during his heyday. edit: although his best worked matches were brutal gorefests that generally featured dick murdoch or a funk.

Randaconda posted:Yeah. He also was apparently a pretty nice guy, family man and all that, just somebody you did not want to gently caress with. I don't remember who it was, I think it was either steve austin or jake...maybe it was jake. Anyway, he was talking about how Rude would go to absurd lengths to go home for days off instead of just hanging around on the road drinking and partying.

DukeofCA posted:I've never understood the psychology of the back rake. I know a lot of 80's and earlier wrestling moves look laughable by today's standards, but how is giving someone a pleasant back scratch supposed to be a dastardly heel tactic? because being scratched loving HURTS

Sydney Bottocks posted:Apologies if this is a bit of a derail, but: they ran with it as legit to the point that Bill Mercer (WCCW announcer) straight up said on WCCW TV that Hernandez' death and Adams' "blinding" were two very serious tragedies. Keep in mind, too, that this was back in the days when kayfabe was so strong, Scotland Yard reportedly interviewed Adams as a suspect in Hernandez' death when he was in the UK. is that really kayfabe though or is that scotland yard being a bunch of sweaty marks?

Rarity posted:Thanks, glad you're enjoying it I have two questions for you: 1) when is your birthday 2) do you think I could book a George "The Animal" Steel impersonator for it? I mean, along with the Lord Alfred Bigdick and Adrian Adonis guys I already booked.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:WCW had people other than Flair, though, at least in those days. He was their top draw, but they weren't completely boned without him. Considering he's barely around these days I doubt the veracity of your statement.
