My house

I tried watching Impact last week. Lol ew. I'd rather watch 93 ECW over that. At least it had Muraco

[owenbrown]

Best and worst wrestler(s) and feuds of all time in Memphis wrestling?

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol sorry for the lack of answers in regards to today's wrestling. I haven't watched regularly in 3-4 years

[Bad News Gertner]

Best and worst wrestler(s) and feuds of all time in Memphis wrestling?

Best feuds: Moondogs vs Lawler and Jeff Jarrett and Lawler vs Tommy Rich and Austin Idol. Didn't really care for Lawler and Dundee.

Worst Wrestlers. Oh God. When Lawler had the book he'd create characters based on movie monsters. Check out Nightmare Freddy. Worst feuds. The Snowman holding the USWA title was a mess.

[owenbrown]

Lol sorry for the lack of answers in regards to today's wrestling. I haven't watched regularly in 3-4 years

why do you think I asked the question I did above? lol

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol I only watched the Rumble and Wrestlemania. Random clips if I hear about something. Usually involving Braun.

[Bad News Gertner]

Here's Nightmare Freddy vs Buddy Landell.

4EaW6m-KMEI

[owenbrown]

lol who the fuck thought that was a good idea?

[Bad News Gertner]

Jerry Lawler.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Best/Worst nWo storyline?

[Bad News Gertner]

NWO vs Sting is my favourite storyline of all time, minus the ending.

Worst is probably NWO vs Warrior

[Fignuts]

NWO vs Warrior is better than NWO 2000

[Rebecca Reigns]

Why are you so tremendous and do you ever feel guilty knowing owenbrown is envious of how sexy you are?

Could DAMN iNATOR beat Roman Reigns in a steel bucket match?

[Swiss Ultimate]

NWO vs Warrior is better than NWO 2000

nWo 2000 was such a sad thing.

[Bad News Gertner]

NWO vs Warrior is better than NWO 2000

There is no thing in NWO 2000 that was worse than Halloween Havoc 98

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

How did it feel to go 3 for 3 in the trivia contest for the 605 and how was the Patterson book?

[Bad News Gertner]

I got lucky. I would have failed on pretty much everyone else's three question. The Patterson book was great. Can't recommend it enough.

[Shisen Kopf]

How would you describe Lex Luger's in ring skills, awful or terrible? This is in ring, so please don't take into consideration the fact he is a murderer.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

CHEEX?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Heath Slater: Face or Heel?

I know you don't watch modern wrestling, but who would your ideal champions be on the current shows?

[Bad News Gertner]

Heath Slater: Face or Heel?

I know you don't watch modern wrestling, but who would your ideal champions be on the current shows?

Braun Strowman should be the face of the company.

Smackdown I'd make Kevin Owens

Also, Slater as an annoying heel is amazing

[Bad News Gertner]

How would you describe Lex Luger's in ring skills, awful or terrible? This is in ring, so please don't take into consideration the fact he is a murderer.

Luger from 88-95 varied from good to really good. Luger gets far too much shit

[Shisen Kopf]

Man Mountain Rock or Van Hammer, who was the better guitar player?

[Bad News Gertner]

Man Mountain Rock. Van Hammer didn't actually know how to play guitar.

[Shisen Kopf]

Who was the most Gormy rassler of all time?

[TSI]

Would you consider Sid Vicious under rated

[Bad News Gertner]

Would you consider Sid Vicious under rated

I love Sid so I'm biased. Lol Sid was actually a giant IWC fan favourite back in the day. Sid is one of those guys you had to see live to really "get it". There's just something about him that really translated to a live crowd.

[Bad News Gertner]

Who was the most Gormy rassler of all time?

Rock and Roll Buck Zumhofe lol
