Title: Pro Wrestlers come and gone
Post by: Kaos on January 28, 2010, 03:31:34 PM
Captain Lou was the exception.  Jake the Snake should be grateful he's still slithering.  Hulk should be happy he's, oh you get it. 

Shocking how many of these guys keeled over in their 40s.

Wow.  I didn't realize half of those guys were dead.  Of course, I haven't watched wrestling since I was a teen.  Even at a young age, I knew Miss Elizabeth was a coke whore.

I never watched it as a kid, but went through a brief WWF/E period in the late  90s. 

The Rock was hilarious.  Mick Foley (Mankind) a punishment beast.  Stephanie McMahon had the most enormous boobs and I found her wealth intoxicating.  Undertaker, DX (with the Road Dog), Hardcore Holley, Ken Shamrock, Jericho, Trish Stratus, Lita (loved Lita), Matt and Jeff Hardy, The Dudleys, Kane (with the mask), Triple H, Jim Ross, The King, The Big Show, Jeff Jarrett, Kurt Angle, Kip something or other... those were funny times. 

It didn't last long.

95-99 were the last years I watched it.  Watched it as a kid in the 80's.  My favorite Rock moments were his "Corporate" moments.  The Corporate Elbow was a classic. 

I currently use the Corporate eyebrow and plan on using the Corporate Elbow when the time is right.

I learned how to talk shit by watching Dusty Rhodes interviews on World Wide Wrestling on WTBS.

Wow.  I haven't thought about those names in a long time.   How could you forget about Stonecold? 

Also, Trish Stratus was it back when she first hit the scene.  I couldn't get enough of her.

Didn't forget about Steve, but he was injured and a non-factor during the brief period I watched it.  Debra was out there and at one point they were building a house on North River in Tuscaloosa.  Theirs might have actually been on the Walker County side, though. 

I used my "credentials" and finagled some passes when that circus came through Birmingham in 1999 or 2000.   It was fun to watch up close. 

Trish was amazing.

But Lita was hot, too. She didn't have the face Trish did (or the boobs) but she had that lithe athletic body.  Her thong above those cargo pants....

Lita always had a bit too much testosterone in her personality.  Wasn't a big fan.

But Trish?

It was a sad day when Fezzik passed away. He was one of my old time favorites.

It was also a sad day when Hart died.  I was watching that event when he fell and broke his neck.

As were Ogre and I.  We both were like...why are they blacking out the screen?  And which storyline is this "fall" going to be written into?  I didn't know it was real until the next day.  Vince McMahon made that speech during the Pay Per View that Hart fell...said the show must go on...

Remembe the Diamond Cutter.  Diamond Dallas Page has turned into a health freak and he's the trainer on the Carnie Wilson Unstapled Show.  I was flipping channels and saw him, don't recommend the show though.

Whatever happened to X-Pac? 

I saw where Mick Foley is back wrestling with some secondhand outfit.  Supposedly Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, Eric Bishoff, Raven, Rick Flair, Sting, Taz and the Dudleys, among others, have washed up there too.

And TNA is about to move permanently to monday nights.  Starting in March.  They will be live every other week, and taped in the opposite weeks.  Stupid, IMO.  If you are going live or head to head with the competition, taped shows won't get it done.  TNA also did away with the 6 sided ring recently as well.

Lots of wrestlers cosplayed as commies during the Cold War. Nikolai Volkoff, who died over the weekend, was way closer to the real thing, and took his act far more seriously, than all the rest. He was 70 years old.

Volkoff, a WWE Hall of Famer and ring legend, was born as Josip Nikolai Peruzovic in October 1947 in Yugoslavia to a Russian mother and Croatian father. He told me in a 2004 interview that as a very large teen he was desperate to escape the oppression of his country’s Communist-ruled government, and scared that the Soviet Union would do to his people what he’d heard they did to neighboring Hungary when he was a boy. He began plotting his defection to the West. He always knew he wanted to end up in America, home of his hero Muhammad Ali, but he had to start out in the Great White North.

They never had much drug testing in the WWEs.

I had friends back in Pville that started up a pro wrestling ring. These guys were pumped up. They competed on the undercards around the south. They tried to get me involved. I laughed. They did some stupid shit! It only lasted about five years. They finally figured out that stuff aon't fun when you got no health insurance!
