Always thought Larry Zbyszko was a fantastic heel. That stalling shit he did in the AWA pissed off the crwod so much.
I remember he fought boxer turned ref Scott Ledoux and despite Scott never wrestling it was amazing. Scott would do one move and Larry would roll out of the ring and stall and shit talk the crowd. It was awesome. Crowd HATED him. |

Test - Always felt he had a great look and was solid and underrated on the mic and in the charisma and acting depts. when having to compete with HHH, Rock, Austin, etc.
Meng - The guy just was and seemed so legit bad ass and scary. Ultimo Dragon & Psicosis - Don't know how much these guys were really liked or disliked but I feel like they don't always get the credit they deserve and I loved them both in WCW. The guys could just go in the ring and brought a style and excitement to wrestling I had never seen before at the time. Glacier - The build, vignettes and look of the character were pretty cool at the time and for a while I thought Glacier was awesome and now I can appreciate what they were trying to do with him. Hardcore Holly - I've always felt he was insanely solid in the ring, had a good look and build and he had a constant intensity that made everyone he worked with look great or even better. |

Everyone knows my love of Meng. Guy is the biggest bad ass in wrestling history.
Loved Test when he was with Stacy. One more: I LOVED Barry Darsow in WCW in the late 90's. He was a loudmouth heel and I thought he was hilarious. |

I figured you would know him Seth. I watched that Paul Boesch Documentary you linked to. What a great documentary. The furniture store that sponsored it is where my now ex-wife and I got our bedroom set. With Mike Boyette,the first time I saw him my parents kept talking about watching him versus the Fields brothers at the Gulfport Armory. They use to go almost every week with my paternal grandparents. I think that was the old Gulf Coast Championship Wrestling fed. When I was around 4 or 5 months old,my grandparents were babysitting me. It was Saturday night so they took me to the armory because they were not going to miss the weekly wrestling shows. I am really surprised no indy is running the Alabama/Mississippi gulf coast region. Last year for 5 months EPW was running Kiln and Bay St Louis. And drawing good crowds. But the owner is an idiot and fucked over the two places they ran on money. So now most venues don't want to bother with wrestling. |

Bob should have gotten a IC or US title run. I hate lots of the IWC hates on him. Mostly based on the Tough Enough incident. But all they know is what they were shown. All the students and the trainers have talked about how the guy Bob roughed up was disrespecting the trainers. Bob was trained in the old southern wrestling way. Where if you disrespected your trainer or a vet you got the holy hell beat out of you. But the same IWC people try to claim that Bob sandbagged Brock. How the hell could he do that. Brock could lift Big Show up. So how could he not lift Bob. But it seems the IWC fans that hate Bob are the same ones that try to make excuses for the evil shit Chris Benoit did. And are normally the same fans that don't seem to understand that while Hogan was never that great in the ring,he did the thing that a good wrestler should do. He sold tickets. That is the one thing a good wrestler should do.All the moves in the world mean shit if the fans aren't buying a ticket to see you. |

Bob's Falcon Arrow AKA the Holly-caust was also a great move.Bob is a guy that if the territories were still around would have been a much bigger star. He is like a modern day Dick Murdoch.

I have been a fan of Jeff Jarrett since the USWA on ESPN days. While he has never been great on the mic,in the ring he is good. He is a guy that needed a good mouthpiece. It is sad that besides Paul Heyman,managers are pretty much dead in WWE and TNA. Wildkat Sports and Powerslam Pro have a great manager in Hardbody Harper. I have seen him come out and in less than a minute get the entire crowd booing him. And this was a crowd where maybe 5 people knew who he was. |

![]() yep he was a big star for the Gulf Coast territory. Gulf Coast Wrestling was huge back then with the local fans. Such stars as The Fields brothers, Cowboy Bob Kelly, Ken Lucas, Rip Tyler & others. Mike never really broke out as a star anywhere else other than there that I can recall. I did like him as Apocalypse in Memphis. He was managed by a young Jim Cornette in his rookie year. Classic Gulf Coast Wrestling Rip Tyler vs Cowboy Bob Kelly -Plus Don Fargo is mad! |

When Mike Boyette died I found on youtube part of a match where it was him teaming up with a young Bob Holly. I wish there was more footage out there of the 70s GCCW. I always hear how great it was. |

Noid is probably putting on a pot of coffee and writing his Hamlet on this thread lol. Get ready for a 5 paragraph post about Danny Bashem and Val Venis.

Zack Ryder
JBL (announcer) - He can be a bit annoying but still fits better with Cole than Lawler does. Also helps to think that a lot of his annoying stuff is likely because Vince is feeding him those lines. X-Pac |

As a kid I always loved Boris Zukoff. Then in 96 I found out a friend of a friend lived with him over in Alabama. Got to meet him. He was a truck driver at the time. And his head is even bigger in person.
