Don't Lie! You Thought Pro Wrestling Was Real! Who Was Your Favorite's Back in the Day

Lex luger-as a lil kid dude was the man, loved Hogan as everyone else, but luger got me in the gym to this day.
Chris Benoit-I've never seen a bad seen a bad match.
Piper- fucker could talk !
Ric flair-but I didn't appreciate him until I started getting older.
Sting- he's the reason I hated ric flair.
THe rock.
undertaker- as I became an adult I actually appreciated his work ethic.
flying Brian
papa Shango
macho man.
road warriors.
ultimate warrior. Hated the man Jim However
Sid ect
 
Lol it was a big thing cause it was during wartime and Mideast was the face of evil by the media so taking the face of evil and than what suppose to represent USA and have him back stab America was suppose to be a big thing.. that’s exactly why Alex was like trying to push that narrative now would get all kinda hell

Yeah. It more to me that it was Sgt Slaughter from GI Joe than it was about the war. I was at that age that I only cared about what I could comprehend. Lol.
 
Macho Man/King- met him and Gorgeous George back in 99 when I was 15, Savage was always that dude from the promos he cut, best rap album from a wrestler I don't wanna hear about no Cena shit. Always had the fly outfits

Ric Flair- The promos, the robes, the energy

Dusty Rhodes- has to be 1 of the goats on the mic along with Flair

Scott Steiner- hilarious on the mic shitting on wrestlers while wearing that chainmail durag joint on his head and loved how he stayed calling out all the rednecks in the crowd and shitting on them. Would've been a beast in MMA if he was born at a later time

Kurt Angle- another 1 that would've been a beast in MMA if he was born at a later time, funny on the mic, really athletic/powerful for his size

Bret Hart- The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Also knocked out Vince for real after the Montreal Screwjob

Raven- he had the deepest goon squad aka the flock

Nash/Diesel and Hall/Razor Ramon- NWO and NWO Wolfpack were my favorite factions ever, love how nash calls out the super crackas on twitter and Razor Ramon had that Tony Montana gimmick down for me as a kid

La Parka- The Chairman is my 1 luchador pick

The Pope D'Angelo Dinero aka Elijah Burke- He was killing it on the mic in TNA/Impact, had to be politics that stopped him from being a bigger star

New Jack- Just crazy, and went crazy at all them racist rednecks in their backwood towns

Okada- My 1 Japanese pick, he picked up that swag from the Pope
 
Lol the funniest and worst shit was trying to actually do these moves in real life.. there was a mat at our playground and we were damn near trying to kill each other doing these moves... growing up you found out the ddt was a highly effective move in a fight.. I remember almost getting trouble doing that to somebody during a real fight on hardwood floor.. they didn’t want to battle me after that lmaoooo
 
I remember Ricky Steamboat Dragon got his neck messed up in a match late 80s and I never saw him after. I think he had a bout with Macho Man and Macho hit him in the throat with a folding chair.

I remember back then on Saturdays my uncles made me watch that shit then at noon Kung Fu movies came on. Then I'd go outside and ride my bike in the hood or I'd help my granny bake cakes. I used to eat the mix off the blender. Great times I will never see again.
 
Have not watched since like 1981....but back then....

Tony Guria(sp???) & Larry Zybisco(sp???)

Tony Atlas

Andre of course

Chief Jay Strong Bow & Billie White Wolf



Hated Ken Patera for fucking Billy White Wolf up, but watched him because I hated him, lol

White dude with the heart punch :lol:
edit: he was Stan the Man Stasiak!


Bobo Brazil :lol: :lol:

Mostly though, I watched for the managers....Grand Wizard...Lou Albano....shit cracked me up.

Oh shit, I don't remember this. I was trying to figure out who was the heel.
It was the passing of the torch... ultimate warrior was the new big superstar..he literally put the intercontinental title on the same level as the wwf title.. it got respect on it after his run.. it was the first time it was going to be belt vs belt for the unanimous champ.. it literally was the battle of the Titans, 2 of the biggest names in wrestling going at it.. plus the fan base the hulkamaniacs vs the warriors... kids were actually betting money who was gonna win lol... they chose warrior to be the first unanimous title holder which was the biggest thing ever.. hulk hogan was supposed to step down from wwf I believe.. but somewhere in the future the higher ups weren’t to happy with warrior and eventually brought hogan back as well as other foes.. I remember hearing a story behind the scenes the warrior wasn’t the person they thought he was gonna be

I think it was Saturday nights main event and Savage jumped off the top rope to do his patent elbow move, but instead he used the bell.

Greatest Heel Ever

Vincent Kennedy McMahon

Best Small/Medium Sized Tag Teams

Midnight Express(with manager Jim Cornette they were great. Bobby Eaton/Dennis Condrey version was vicious The Eaton/Stan Lane version was smooth.

Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard(Both original 4horsemen but great workers over as a heel tag team)

Hart Foundation(Brett Hart was the technician and Jim The Anvil Neidhart was the power great team whose different styles complimented each other)

British Bulldogs(Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith was great as well. Kid was explosive like Chris Benoit and Davey was the power)

Rock N' Roll Express(put butts in seats all over the south by being undersized underdogs, Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson was magic. Morton could sell a beatdown or a hot tag like a mofo.

The Rockers(Sean Micheals and Marty Janetty was great in both AWA and WWF)

The Gangstaz(New Jack was the psycho and Mustafa Saed was the muscle)

The Eliminators(Perry Saturn and John Kronus was a good team)

Varsity Club(Mike Rotunda was a constant and under the management of Kevin Sullivan The Rotunda/Rick Steiner and Rotunda/Dr. Death Steve Williams teams were beast. Rotunda, Steiner, and Williams were all legit shooters.

Killer Bees(Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell both good workers)

Fabulous Ones(Stan Lane and Steve Kiern was a solid unit)

Fantastics(Tommy Rodgers and Bobby Fulton were a good unit)

Sheepherders/Buswackers(Before going to the WWF as the Sheepherders they were ECW before ECW)

Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine(odd pairing but Vince made it work)

Strike Force(Rick Martel and Tito Santana the Canadian Mexican connection)

Best Strong Style/Physical/Monster Teams


Road Warriors/Legion of Doom(Animal and Hawk was the first team to be not only strong but explosively quick as well. Not the best workers but their charisma and energy was high. They were world champs in the big three promotions NWA, AWA, and WWF)

Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen(terrorized Japan as a monster tag team. Two very scary and imposing big men)

The Brothers Of Destruction(Undertaker and Kane nuff said)

Miracle Violence Connection(Terry Bam Bam Gordy and Dr. Death Steve Williams terrorized Japan(like Brody and Hansen) which is also a huge werestling market)

The Outsiders(Scott Hall and Kevin Nash were awesome as a team. Two big guys with charisma and ring presence. That NWO run was awesome)

The Steiner Brothers(Rick and Scott were great talent, strong and explosive)

Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy(two huge and imposing figures on the same team)

Demoliton(Axe Smash Crush were a solid team. First considered a Road Warrior knock-offs they eventually made their own mark with great in ring work)

The Koloffs(Ivan and Nikita Koloff was a great unit with the veteran Ivan teaching a young Nikita how to have ring presence, great during the 80s when US and Russian tensions was high on the world stage)

Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow(was over in Japan, two agile nearly 400 pounder guys)

The Wild Samoans(Afa and Sika, one is Roman Reigns father the other is his uncle, the Samoans were a physical team)

Bruiser Brody and John Nord(Nord was known as Berzerker in WWF but a veteran Brody was teaching a young Nord how to work)

The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff(both extremely good veteran workers and both very strong guys. Like the Koloffs a good anti-american heel team)

Harlem Heat(Booker T and Stevie Ray started off as a mid card heel team in WCW but worked their way up to multi time champs)

Doom(Butch Reed and Ron Simmons very strong and mean)

APA(Ron Simmons and JBL was great as a strong style team and a great gimmick that was over)

The Sky Scrapers(Sid Vicious and Danny Spivey both guys over 6'6 and mean as hell. Sid was replaced by Mark Callous better known as himself in WCW before going to WWF and becoming the Undertaker)

The Faces of Fear(Meng and The Barbarian two scary Tongan guys)

The Powers of Pain(Warlord and Barbarian was a solid team. Barbarian carried this team but still a good team)

The Nasty Boys(not best of shape but two physical big men who were great workers)

The Executioners(Big John Studd and Killer Kowalski. A veteran Kowalksi teaching a young Big John Studd the ropes back in the 70s)

Best Jobber/enhancement talent/jabroni

Special Delivery Jones(most famous black jobber would have been a mid card star in any other promotion, in the WWF he was the baby face jobber to the heel stars).

Iron Mike Sharpe(was actually a decent star in the south but once he went to Vince he became a heel jobber to the baby faces star with his never healing braced arm).

Mike Jackson(the Alabama Jr. Heavy weight champion LOL, looks like a gym teacher but was over as a jobber because he looked so ordinary. He was a beloved baby face jobber in all the southern territories. as of last year he is still wrestling and is in great shape for someone in their 70s)

Rene Goulet(was very old but in French Canada and France he was a star and not a jobber, on WWF tv he was a great heel jobber and performer).

The Mulkey Brothers(Randy and Bill Mulkey two hapless brothers with no muscle tone who got the crap beat out of them, anyone who need laughs just youtube Mulkey Brothers vs. Midnight Express:D Jim Cornette was comedic genius when it came to the Mulkeys)

Rocky King(the second most famous black jobber after SD Jones, I always felt both Ole Anderson and Dusty Rhodes were dicks in never giving Rocky King at least a mid card push in NWA/WCW. Anytime you saw Rocky King on tv you knew he was going to lose and lose badly to whatever heel he was fed to).

The Unpredictable Johhny Rodz(should have been at least a mid card talent)

Jose Louis Rivera(should have been a mid card talent)

Barry Horowitz(great cocky heel jobber who was a good worker)

Pete Doherty(The Duke of Dorchester was a great WWF jobber)

Kenny Sodbuster Jay(great AWA jobber)

Jake The Milkman Milliman(great AWA jobber)

Out of Town Snake Brown(Georgia Championship jobbers) Speaking of that promotion they had the worst looking jobbers ever, it is like they just grabbed random people off the streets of ATL and aksed them did they want to wrestle LOL.

The Dream Team is what they were called. Either you were getting put to sleep by Brutus, or getting put in a figure four by Greg
Strike Force(Rick Martel and Tito Santana the Canadian Mexican connection)
I remember this, but i also remember Rick becoming The Model after turning on Tito. But before they were Strike Force, Rick had another party, Tom Zinc or some shit. I think they were called the Can-Am Connection or something like that.
 
The question is...
Can wrestling get back to the level of fun it used to be?

I tried watching it not too long ago and it was a no go.
 
Not necessarily my favorite. But I've actually used this move in several street fights and made people boo hoo cry.

No joke.

The Camel Clutch by the Iron Shiek.
 
Ric Flair because he talked the talked and backed it up.
Sabu and pretty much anybody from ECW
 
Attitude era of the WWE was amazing... too many to choose from but Triple H is right close to the top for me.... even when he was a blue blood going by his whole name he was a favorite... dude was just a consummate professional and always had good matches no matter who he was in the ring with

Side note....
I met Big Show once at the gym. That is a large human being
