Wrestling

[King Richard]

Was reading...well I forget what thread it was in, but thinking about old wrestlers was awesome. Wrestling in the 80's and mostly in the 90's was some of the coolest shit I ever watched. I think it peaked around the time Stone Cold and The Rock were in their prime and took a turn for the worst after that. I have no desire anymore to watch it. It's like a soap opera of men (and the occasional slut chick). Anyways just bs about wrestling back in the day.

Gonna post a few pics of lost and forgotten dudes who I thought used to kickass!

Mother fucking Road Warriors! These guys were awesome. When I was a kid, I always wanted to have their shoulder pads.

Bushwackers! Man these guys were so cool. These guys along with Hacksaw Jim Duggan were favorites of my father and I.

Speaking of which...HHHHIIIIYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That's all I can think of for now.

One of the road warrior's (I think Animal) plays linebacker for Ohio State. James Laranitus.

~gR~

Rule of thumb: Japanese wrestling is better.

 

[seedofvengeance]

Mexican wrestling pwns both of them.

 

[Catastrophic]

I have to agree that today's wrestling are kind of silly. Everything are obviously faked and full of "story lines" whatsoever.

 

[skeptik]

*Lucha Libre and not quite, though much of it was indeed awesome. Nothing can ever compete with the mid-80s to mid-90s scene in Japan though. They always brought the best of the best to perform, and they always gave their best as well.

 

[seedofvengeance]

Yeah, but Jack Black didn't make a shitty movie about Japanese wrestling, did he?

 

[genocide roach]

i prefer the luchador/high flyer style. that being said, jericho is my favorite. just for his characters

i really wish i got the chance to see a wrestling match in japan. the big franchises never came to okinawa though
~gR~

I stopped caring after WCW was sold.

Wrestling: B-grade homo-erotic weirdness of the highest order.

UFC is always fun.

 

[The Ozzman]

Most of the posts in this thread have had homosexual overtones. These two motherfuckers are probably the best wrestlers ever right now:

Jerry 'The King' Lawler (and he's The King for good reason. Over 100 titles won in his career)

'Cause when the nature boy starts stylin' and profilin', you're gonna bleed, all night long! Woooo!

If you don't like Ric Flair, you need to kill yourself


Also, I predict UFC's demise in less than five years

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

I'll admit it still isn't violent enough for me.

 

[King Richard]

I didn't like the King, he was kind of annoying. And Ric always got bitch slapped by Hogan. Though I do admit, Ric Flair as a character was cool.

I'll admit it still isn't violent enough for me.

Yeah we get it you don't like wrestling you like MMA.

 

[The Ozzman]

The King is awesome and Ric Flair would stomp a mudhole in Hogan's ass.

 

[King Richard]

Except he never did. He would just chop Hogan on the chest and Hogan would do that badass stare. Ric Flair would subsequently shit his pants and get his ass beat.

 

[The Ozzman]

Dude, the knife edge chop is the shit. Regardless of the fact that it's all Flair does, Flair is still the FUCKING MAN

2nd to Hogan fyi.


Funny story about Hulk Hogan. My aunt and uncle took me to a WWF show when I was really young (4 or 5). I remember Hogan (who was my favorite of course) get kicked and I started crying, "NO HOGAN DONT GET KICKED!! *cry cry cry* KICK HIS BUTT HULK HOGAN!" hahah man good shit
