Never any love for the Canadian heels, Dino Bravo and the Rougeau Brothers. They pissed me off as a kid but I quickly grew to love them not giving a fuk and trolling us.
Favorite professional wrestler

Bravo was a real life heel. Blew through his wrestling earnings with a high lifestyle so after wrestling he got into smuggling cigarettes and coke for big money. Had a shipment confiscated by the police so they made him an example of what happens when product gets stolen or confiscated. 10 bullets to the head.
No love for the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be?
The Montreal screw job. Was it real or a work? If it was a work it might be the best one ever.No love for the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be?
All time fave Baby face Dusty Rhodes all time fave heels legion of doom.
Yep, Danny Little Bear was my favorite. Later on I also began to appreciate Harley Race.
I think Dusty Rhodes, the American Dream, may have been the most popular rassler of his generation.
Eddie Graham ("the best right punch in wrestling") and Don Curtis (King of the Sleeper hold) were a dynamite tag-team combo.
Down in Tampa there was this dude called The Mummy who always entered the ring wrapped in white tape, just like the real thing. Always wondered why he didn't expire from heat exhaustion.
The Von Brauner brothers managed by Gentleman Sol Weingeroff--a couple of dudes posing as Nazis managed by a Jewish guy from Macon, Georgia. Damn, those were the days.

Those Dark Side of the Ring and A&E docs are excellent viewing. Ive seen people with zero interest or knowledge of rasslin get sucked into them.
Image I will never get out of my head was of him at the beach. In a speedo. Seen him blade and look as if he had slaughtered an animal. But the speedo picture still haunts me.
The homicidal, suicidal, genocidal Sabu and The whole F’N show, RVD in ECW.
ECW was so much better than WWF.
You don't rehearse that. 1 foot either way and Mick is dead. How he isn't in a wheelchair after everything he did is crazy.
Remember watching that in the dorm with other wrestling nerds. We all thought he was dead. At least the smarks among us.
Did you know Tom Cruise is not really a secret agent, jet pilot, or a football agent?
He got challenged by an Iowa Football player in Davenport back in the 80's and whipped his ass. Pretty sure it was at TC's.
My brother and my favorite day of that wrestling show was when Pistol Pez Watley beat Mad Dog Buzz Sawyer twice on one show. Sawyer was hilariously crazy.
The Sheik was a former Olympic Wrestler and bodyguard for the Iranian Shah
Maybe it's my computer monitor but Is anyone noticing the lack of something? Maybe the pic is taken in a cooler or freezer or something? Confused.The only one I know…
U are correct he just missed the Olympics as Greco Roman for Iran. But won the AAU Gold in 71. After immigratiing to US. Also AC for the US team. The bodyguard stuff appears to be BS.
I break back. You never escape Camel Clutch. I make you humble.
If you are talking sheer toughness Mick is on top. What he did to his body is insane. He apologized afterward for not working the tacks into the match......shows how out of it he was after Hell in a Cell.

Kevin Sullivan was leading the "other guys". A bunch of them were together watching the "Hell in a Cell" and after Mick went off the top, Sullivan said, "It's all over guys" meaning there was nothing they could ever do to top or even compete with that rival bump.
Why the hell even try. Good chance someone would die from a planned bump. Thus, ending everyone's career involved.
As a junior high kid I lived and breathed professional wrestling.
A bunch of my friends and I talked one of our dads into driving us to watch Big John Studd vs Jerry Blackwell. We had ringside seats and those two guys “hated” each other. In fact they fought outside the ring all the way back to the locker room.
Afterwards we were all at Caseys’s getting sugared up for the ride home, when this big Ford pickup pulled up. Out of the passenger seat came Big John Studd who bought a case of beer while we all stopped and stared.
When he got in the pickup we looked in and saw jerry Blackwell driving and the two of them took off into the night.
My innocence and interest was lost at that very moment

So a Big Studd took your innocence in junior high?
.
This “match”, was the craziest thing I’ve seen. At the 10 minute mark, Sabu rips open his bicep, requiring over 100 stitches in it. He just taped it up during the match to continue.
He asked if he used the tacks. Taker told him to look at his arm which was cover in tacks lol.
I've never seen where Mick has publicly disclosed what he was paid for that match. He has stated that when he got his envelope it was for considerably more than he thought he would get. Glad that Vince paid extra for that performance.
