It's a young Bobby Eaton. I don't think there was ever a wrestler that looked anything like Bobby that could move the way he did.

Watching a bunch of Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania matches.
Vince looks so juiced in 2006 it's absurd. He was 61 and his trapezius muscles look like his neck has feet.
I bet in a real fight he would eat Shawn Michaels whole. He'd feel like he was fighting that marine again.

Hahahahahaha he's running around the ring waving his hands like a lunatic.
Then he throws the worst kick I have ever seen.
Vince is so money.

JR: "Shane just got his face buried in his daddy's crap"
King: *legit laughing*
Vince's hand motions and facial expression in this match is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in wrestling.

There is a direct correlation between the quality of the territory and the amount of body hair the wrestlers have.
The ring attire is a big red flag.

Well the best thing about that was noticing the announcer trying to hide the ring bell as he rang it under the desk whilst speaking directly into the mic.
That is thrifty and marvellous and stupid.

Yeah me too. I think the only match that comes close is an old Shawn Michaels/Ric Flair match from like 1991 that I used to watch on VHS every morning for weeks/months.
I can't actually remember anything about that match besides Michaels missing a dive and it being absolutely devastating.
Remember that?
When just flying into the railing meant a good minute on the floor.
I just randomly found this match while watching 1991 shows on YouTube.
Ric Flair wins when Shawn Michaels knocks himself out diving into the rail, Jannety runs down and rolls Shawn back into the ring after a good 90 seconds on the floor and Ric pins him straight away.
I really miss the illusion of devastation. What would lay a guy out for 90 seconds nowadays?
Seanny One Ball
11-29-2019, 07:30 PM
Ric didn't even hit him when he was rolled back into the ring, he literally just pins him.
Ol Dirty Dastard
11-29-2019, 09:44 PM
i've seen that match. An underwhelming affair...Shawn hadn't found his rhythm as a singles guy. He only started showing real glimpses of what he'd become in that sphere in 1993ish, I think.
Ol Dirty Dastard
11-29-2019, 09:47 PM
Also, just watching Hogan footage from 84 and pondering his run. Always interesting to consider that the Mega Powers angle was almost a direct copy of Orndorff/Hogan. Though the characters involved made it feel different.

It's crazy how fucking over Hogan was the minute he showed back up. Rewatched the January 7th 1984 Championship Wrestling show which was his return to that show. He gets the loudest pop I've ever seen on that show. It's amazing.
Seanny One Ball

He does the worst fucking leg drop I have ever seen in that clip up there.
He went the wrong way so he ends up dropping both legs on the guy.

I have a question for you two:
Where does Andy Kaufman rank on the list of best heels of all time?
Seanny One Ball

I never saw his heels.
Skinnier calves than Ric Flair though.

Seanny One Ball
11-29-2019, 10:47 PM
I think for him to be in consideration as a great heel he would have to have done much more for a lot longer. Wrestling women from the crowd was a pretty great idea though, and the addition of some national exposure for Jerry Lawler was a nice result.
I don't rate his work or his gimmick much higher than "interesting novelty" but I respect the attention he brought with him.
He was probably a better worker than Rufus R Jones though.
Seanny One Ball
11-29-2019, 10:58 PM
I should have said "top" heel not great heel, obviously he was a great heel.
Just not one of THE greats.

He was perfect for Memphis and their style. I don't think it would have worked as well anywhere else. There's footage of Vince McMahon interviewing Kaufman at an MSG show. He actually went to Vince but Vince Sr wanted no part of it so Bill Apter connected Andy to Lawler.

There are certain times in WWE history, entire years actually, that could be called the "ah I see why you all eventually had to do steroids" era.
If you're wondering, it's whenever guys like Mighty Joe Thunder, Swede Hanson, Salvatore Bellomo or even the younger less fat Playboy Buddy Rose show up.
I think Ivan Putski put the idea in Vince's head when he returned looking like somebody filled his abs with concrete condoms.
