Stan Hansen laid on his back, reaching up to his nostril and blowing a huge white booger out onto the canvas against Lex Luger will stay with me forever.

Because Mae Young was a beast.
(Until death got her. Death said “lol You wanna take a bump in your 100s? No, bitch.”) |

Still funny that Moolah died first. As a kid, Moolah was a Goddamn spring chicken by comparison.

"Because Mae Young was a beast" is a marvellous response.

You can definitely tell when Bubba was protecting someone with that powerbomb. When he powerbombed Terri, he basically put himself through the table. Lol not with Mae.

Lol Don Muraco is the most under-rated promo of all time. Fuji fucking with Gene and Muraco being Muraco is just hilarious.

Mr Fuji retired to the town where I grew up in Smokey Mountain territory just outside of Knoxville. When I was about 13 I remember meeting him for the first time at Food City shopping for groceries, which was major for me because I was a Coliseum Video collector and was very familiar with his work as a manager... then I would see him at an indie show a few months later at the country fair where he told me he was returning to WWF to manage Yokozuna because Vince is going to bring him back for a championship run with Steve Austin... Yeah and then one time a few years later I went to the mall to see a movie and not only did he tear my ticket and point to my theater but my friend bought some pills from him. I would see him at that Regal Cinema a few more times over the years. I am also quite sure that my brother now owns the house that he used to live in.

That was a pretty big deal to actually say the words out loud like that.

You're more like Undertaker to me...
Anyway: 1. Why is Terry Funk the best in your eyes? 2. Who is the best bumper in your opinion, past or present? 3. Who threw the best strikes in wrestling? Not potatoes, I mean believable soft shots. 4. Best storyline/s in your viewing history? Specifically non WWE please. 5. Has the gimmick assortment grown too big and shoddy? Old WCW PPV'S are full of real tables that don't break. It hurts my head seeing Stan Hansen do anything but once the bull rope comes out... Damn. |

2. I LOVE Sgt. Slaughter's bumping. I've always been a fan of the bigger wrestlers and Slaughters bumping in the late 70s/early 80s is outstanding. 3. Best strikes is Dick Murdoch. He threw awesome punches. 4. I'm a sucker for the Raven vs Tommy Dreamer storyline. ECW doesn't age well, but this is still great. JYD vs the Freebirds in Mid South where JYD gets blinded was great. Dutch Mantell and Jerry Lawler vs Bill Dundee and Buddy Landell in Memphis was awesome. Buddy Landell was great. It's too bad he couldn't overcome his demons. 5. I still remember the sound of Funk piledriving Flair on the table. The thud that his head made was sick. I remember ECW had some really flimsy ass tables. Wrestler safety is more of a thing nowadays and I get it, but still... |

Check out this match between Slaughter vs Andre in 1981. Slaughter makes Andre look like a million bucks and takes bumps that a man that size shouldn't be doing.

1. D-Lo Brown was the best because he was a big guy with the mixed skill set of a power wrestler and a high flyer. He also may be the most enjoyable combined champ ever. Theme Tune. Moves. Attitude. You're lookin' at the real deal now(then). He also ended LOD 2000 single handedly, so mad props. 2. Flair all the way. He shouldn't be walking. 3. Austin. The hype around him made his soft shots look elite. 4. Bret vs Backlund(I ain't seen as much so I get to choose WWE) So realistic back then that I hate to watch it now! 5. The cheap gimmick array was old in ECW in the 90's. |

Why the hell was "Flare For The Gold" spelled "Flare"?
That bothers me. |
