Let's see what kind of wrestling fans you RSPW punks really are
PetePanaro
and RSPW. All this talk of Jeff Hardy as a future superstar and Brock Lesnar
as the next big thing, and Rock and HHH as all-time greats makes me laugh.
You aren't a wrestling fan unless you've seen some of the wrestlers, events,
and matches I'm about to list below. This ain't no workrate sensitive list
either. Just good, classic wrestling. Let me know how many of these you've
seen. If you haven't seen any, stop watching Raw, and go buy some old tapes.
Watch them, and then come back and we can talk.
PS-I only list stuff that I've seen, so I dont look hypocritical:
-Jimmy Garvin
-Ric Flair and the Precious mannequin
-Kevin and Kerry Von Erich
-Magnum TA
-War Games, 1987 Great American Bash tour
-Magnum TA
-Iron Mike Sharpe
-The Fantastics
-The Sheepherders
-The Fantastics vs. The Sheepherders in the barbed wire cage
-The Fabulous Ones
-The Midnight Express
-The Rock n'Roll Express
-The Midnight Rockers vs. Buddy Rose and Doug Somers for the AWA tag team
titles
-Big John Studd
-Wrestlers fighting on Saturday Night in the TBS studios and then going over to
be interviewed on the interview stage right after their match by Tony Schiavone
and Jim Crockett.
-Ric Flair singing "I got the whole world, in my hands"
-Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant
-Superstar Billy Graham

Glad to see you aren't an elitist ass.
I could list all the different Japanese promotions I've watched and
wrestlers I've seen there, and say that you not having watched any of
that could not be a real wrestling fan.

Why would an American fan of AMerican pro-wrestling give a shit about Japanese
Wrestling? Yeesh, we don't give a shit about European wrestling or Lucha
either.
And you are an elitist ass too, for gratuitously bringing up your Puro fanhood
while trying to cloak it as part of an argument.

I've had since I was 13
I miss the old stuff and I'm bored silly with the new stuff (though I don't
seem to be as anti-hardy as some old schoolers) but you can only watch tapes
and talk about the good ole days for so long. That being said you can also
only take so much of the junk that the WWF put's on now. I probably watch
about 30 minutes of wrestling a week now but only because my husband and kids
have it on. I've totally lost interest. I hope eventually something that
resembles wrestling comes back again.

The Valiants in the AWA (must have been the early 70's?) before
Jimmy grew the beard and went as a single.
>-Superstar Billy Graham
Many many many times. Feuded with the late Wahoo McDaniel in the
AWA and later teamed with Dusty Rhodes for a very short time. His last
stint in this area was as a heel managed by Heenan feuding with a face
Blackjack Lanza who had a falling out wih Bobby. Superstar would
always instruct the cameraman to zoom in on his bicep as the interview
ended.

prevent HTM from hitting Savage with his guitar, HTM shoves her down,

great List
also add
Dick the brusiser
the MAd Dogs
Killer kawlski
Buddy Rodgers
leaping Larry shane
Brusier Brody
Big Deeksie Cooler
Never really liked him.
-Kevin and Kerry Von Erich
When I watched WCCW, I would always cheer for the Freebirds instead.
-Magnum TA
Would have been one of the biggest stars ever if it wasn't for his crash.
-War Games, 1987 Great American Bash tour
The first War Games match was so amazing.
-The Fantastics
Great matches with the Midnights in the NWA, and did good in the UWF as well.
-The Sheepherders
Hardcore wrestlers until Vince turned them into a joke. Of course, a nice pay
check and not having to bleed or get thrown into barbed wire sounds good.
-The Fabulous Ones
Stan Lane mark for life.
-The Midnight Express
See the above comment. I liked the Lane / Eaton version better.
-The Rock n'Roll Express
If only everyone could sell like Ricky Morton.
-Big John Studd
Sucked.
-Wrestlers fighting on Saturday Night in the TBS studios and then going over to
be interviewed on the interview stage right after their match by Tony Schiavone
and Jim Crockett.
RIP wrestling on da muthaship
-Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant
Never liked him. I never bought into my grandpa trying to wrestle, dance, and
act cool.
-Savage vs. Steamboat, Wrestlemania III
Good, but never up there with Savage / Flair.
-The UWF
If you're talking about Watts' UWF, my favorite fed of all time, and one of the
GREATEST feds of all time.
-World Class Championship Wrestling
Used to get home from school and watch it during the afternoons. Freebird &
Missing Link mark.
-The AWA
Never watched.
-The NWA
What wrestling SHOULD be.
-The Crockett Cup Memorial Tag Team Tournament
Never really enjoyed these shows that much.

See first answer. Not sure. (Saw the promo to Dusty in ECW about it,

Heard of it, maybe saw one show or part of one show. Predated the Russo
"shork" ("Shoot/work") by some years, had some decent ring action, a lot of
blood. Low budget and time slots killed it as much as it coming out in a
time of a wrestling slump, and casual fans maybe not being ready for the
shootish gimmick.

I belive so, but not seeign it on TV, hearing of it.

Never saw him on the same level as Flair or Hogan.

Kind of fading away when we saw AWA. Never liked him.

He used to team with Moondog Rex a lot.

'Twas Starrcade 86 you're thinking of, LOD vs Midnight Express (Eaton and
Condrey version). Corney got chased up the scaffold and climbed off of it to
escape the LOD. He was hanging from the bottom and fell down to the ring,
blowing out his knee in the process on the landing.

He beat Hennig at the show where DEMOLITION LOST THE BELTS, Summerslam 90.

ATTN BOB BARNET AND ASSC TAPE TRADERS!
I will pay good money for a tape of Kerry Von Erich's foot coming off.
that's right up there with the time Ronan Tynan was thrown from his horse
during a polo match and one of his prosthetic feet stayed in the sturrips.
When an official got the foot from the horse and asked Ronan what he should
do with it, Ronan's reply was along the lines of "you can give it back to me
so I can walk, thank you very much."

Thank you, On Topic Guy. I've been trying to get RSPW to post about
wrestling, instead of their usual garbage posts. NWA rules. Let's hope
it has a rebirth as a national promotion.

The Night Of The Skywalkers!
Ah, the days when they gave each pay-per-view a unique identity...
similar to what the WWF later did with their IYH broadcasts.
> > -Iron Mike Sharpe
> Saw him. Not for a long time tho.
Comedy jobber in the WWWF his final days, but a pretty kick-ass
heel in his prime. Just before he left Mid-South, he did a six-alarm
blade job in a squash match for Kamala (? I think, Mid-South fans,
help!) at a house show in Houston. They showed the match on
television later, and when Kamala made his television debut the
following week, he was instantly over as a total monster. Good
Lord, what a bloody mess that one was!

The one bright spot for the AWA in those days. Rose/Somers were underrated
as a tag team. Also, if you can find some matches, check out the Midnight
Rockers vs Badd Company (Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka with Dallas Diamond
Page as their manager/spokesman). Unbelieveably great matches!

Puh-leeze! The Sporatorium is legendary... plus the Will Rogers Coleseum
in Fort Worth and numerous National Guard Armories and football fields
throughout rural NE Texas (wrestling with the ring sitting on the 50-yard
line
of the local high school football stadium rocked!).

I won't take the elitist route, but I will say this: If you're a younger, true
wrestling fan, find this stuff you haven't seen.

Attacking Rick Martel when he debuted in the AWA.

A perfect match!

The first World Class match I saw was from the 1985 David Von Erich Parade of
Champions. The Von Erichs & Freebirds vs. Chris Adams, Gino Hernandez, One Man
Gang, Kamala, Rip Oliver, and Steve Williams. Kevin won a car for scoring the
fifth and deciding fall, but then Adams and Hernandez trashed it. Classic heel
stuff.

who is a wrestling fan and who is not.
