Ahhh! The golden days of "sports enternainment" !
 
🙂

Favorite past:

Nobody.....NOBODY....was better than Demolition, with the exception of my brother and I...."Too Xtreme"....NAO was awesome as well...



Tag Teams Present:
There are not really any decent tag teams out there at all nowadays....



Most Hated Wrestlers of Alltime:
Shawn Michaels and Hogan- for their "Nice guy in public, asshole backstage when it comes to storylines and pushes and the good of the younger talent", as well as Mr. Fleir....whatta prick he turned out to be...I had respect for the guy, but after what I have learned over the last few weeks, he's nothing but a glory hound and egotistical bastard...

I guess when I was in "Heel" mode, I could get to be quite the asscabbage as well....(got that from my youngest daughter...)



Just hafta point this out, not to be an ass, but just to be a pain...

"The Genius" Lanny Poffo....not Povoff....

LOL

Brother to the most famous...."Macho Man" Randy Savage, and son to the old school great Angelo Poffo, who at one time, held the world's record for sit-ups....

More useless crap you had no business knowing, but now do...

😉
------------------------------------------------------------------

Laz is back....

You may now revolt...

I knew it was "Pof-something", just couldn't remember. Did know about the Savage connection, though.

I shouda mentioned his earlier "Leapin" gimmick as well.

Asscabbage???😀 😀

I'm fairly new to wrestling so favs from the past are a mute point.

Current favorte wrestlers:

On Raw:

Tajiri
Edge
Chris Benoit
Eugene
Matt Hardy
Tyson Tomko

Most hated:

Kane, Le Resistance, and Evolution

Favs on Smackdown:

John Cena
Rey Mysterio
Eddie Guerrero
Undertaker

I know there are others. Brain getting sleepy.

Most hated:

Rene Dupree, JBL, and the Dudley Boys. I'll probably end up hating Heidenreich just because of his backing by Paul Heyman, and I predict he'll have a short career like Mordecai did and just disappear.
 
How come Tron hasn't posted here yet?

Greatest entertainer and biggest personality: The Rock. The Mohammed Ali of pro-wrestling in my humble opinion.

The wrestler I most despised: Shawn Michaels.

Wrestler who was good in the ring but a total wanker in the office: Ric Flair.

Funniest wrestler when cutting a promo: Roddy Piper (Check out the one he did right before taking the IC belt off Jaques Rougeaux at the 1992 Royal Rumble!😀😀😀)

Biggest physical coward when taking a bump: Mil Mascaras. Wanker.

Most talented guy who never got his big break: Me. :bouncybou

Alltime favourite, best talented, hardest working, general all-round sun-shining-out-of-his-arsehole super-dude that ever existed in the business: Bret Hart.

Wrestler who most sounded like he was smoking a joint and drinking home brewed poteen: Jimmy Snuka. Bless him.

Least convincing heel act in history of the business: Sgt Slaughter when doing his pro-Iraqi arc in early-mid 1991. (About as convincing a bad guy as Wolf from Gladiators used to be.)

Man who pissed more talent up against the wall than anyone else and wasted his career: Marty Jannetty.

Guy who should have retired fucking years ago and is now a sad, wasted, pathetic, dried-up, wrinkly old elephant's testicle, who's jobbering around the circuit at a hundredth of the pulling power he had in his prime: Dead heat between Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels. Wankers.

Wrestler with most doomed gimic that we knew had fucked his career from the get-go: Aldo Montoya.

Guy with more guts, fortitude, courage and will-power to go on than any other; who achieved what he did against the odds and deserved every ever-fucking ounce of success he had: Mick Foley.

Biggest robbing, cheating, twisted, fucked-up, thieving, slandering, back-stabbing, cornholing son of a bitch ever to exist in the business: Do I really need to answer this?

Greatest professional for conduct throughout his career: Mark Calloway, a.k.a. The Undertaker. A true diamond geezer, who never forgot to help out someone lower down than him if they needed it and one of those rare creatures who can make it look like he's committing murder on someone without so much as disturbing their hair.

Ugliest fucker to ever step in the ring: Glenn Jacobs, a.k.a. Kane. Not that I'd tell him to his face mind you. 😀

Biggest ability to psyche a crowd up: Jim Hellwig, a.k.a. the Ultimate Warrior. Now there really IS a prime-time wanker! :disgust:

Guy with least ability to fake a blow, resulting in having to throw real punches of near-decapitatory force: Leon White, a.k.a. Vader.

Guy with most understandable name-change: Shawn Michaels, a.k.a. Michael Hickinbottom. :blaugh:

Most Doomed relationship we all knew was never going to last: Randy Savage and "Mizz Eliddabuff". 9 months from marriage to divorce.

Guy who looks most like a geriatric old fucker: Ric Flair.

Guy with least convincing bump technique: Ric Flair. (That stupid effing stagger for five or six steps, before going *timbeeeeeeeerrr* over on his face. Never seen anyone flapjack themselves before. 😕

Biggest mystery as to why anyone ever though he was talented in the first place: Ric Flair. What the fuck was actually good about that guy? He looked wooden and painfully stiff in the ring and his promos were about as believeable as Stumpy O'Leg McNoleg's participation in the Market Harborough marathon.

Biggest cop-out on a gimic, going purely for the very vague resemblance between himself and a famous martial-arts film star: Rob Van Dam. Twat.

Silliest/Funniest voice in the industry: Paul Heyman; Mr. Helium himself.

Shortest lived gimmick in the business: Nailz. About 5 months.

Wrestler we most knew was going to die young: Ronny Ounaki, a.k.a. Yokozuna. No surprise there.

Most feeble finisher: Roddy Piper, Hulk Hogan, the early singles career of Shawn Michaels and Tito Santana.

Wrestler most likely to be a closet gaylord: Rick Martel. Always wearing pink and spraying perfume? You're 'avin'' a giraffe guv'nor.

Worst luck ever: Darren Drozdoff. Less than a year in the business and he's nearly a quadraplegic. It doesn't get any shittier than that.

Least believable relationship between a diva and a wrestler: Shawn Michaels and Sensational Sherri. Somehow a whole lot less believable than Mae Young and Mark Henry.

Biggest anti-climax to a PPV match: Steve Keirn a.k.a. "Skinner" Vs. Owen Hart at Wrestlemania VIII. Lasted about 45 seconds and Owen somehow managed to win it by pinfall despite not getting in a single offensive manouver. Encroyable.

Guy most pumped up for a career in his own right, then ends up jobbering as a stepping stone for real superstars to roll over when they come in: Virgil. Becomes the only man to strip Ted DiBiase of his Million Dollar Championship, then ends up being on the receiving end for Nailz and Yokozuna. B-u-r-i-e-d with a vengeance. One wonders what he did to piss Vince off.

Least convincing prop: The Million Dollar Belt. That piece of shit was supposed to be worth 3 or 4 million dollars and be made from 24-carat gold and fine-cut diamonds? I've seen better and more convincing creations in the Arts & Crafts room of the local infants school.

Feud that erupted onto centre stage but disappeared up it's own arse five minutes later without an explainable conclusion: Ahmed Johnson Vs. Faarooq and the Nation of Constipation.

Crappest PPV of all time: Wrestlemania IX. Biggest pile of shit I ever saw. About two of the matches were average standard, the rest were dire beyond belief. Also the beginning of Bret being screwed up the arse by Vince, largely thanks to Terry Bolea being an arsehole who wouldn't do anything to help someone else, despite them helping him.

Referee who somehow has a brilliant reputation, but is in actual fact the dumbest sack of shit ever to pull on the striped shirt: Earl Hebner. The amount of bad-guy double teaming this prick has let happen because he suddenly develops a fascinating interest for the speck of grit under the good guy's fingernail is beyond belief. Somehow managed to miss Randy Savage braining Ultimate Warrior with a massive glass stick, numerous tags being made by face teams, the Nasty Boys repeatedly using a motorcycle helmet as a weapon, more cases of outside interference than anyone can count; the worst of which being the Bulldog losing the European Title to Shawn Michaels despite Bulldog being battered by Rick Rude, Triple-H and Chyna in full view of him without resulting in a disqualification.
Okay, so it was obviously in the script to be that way, but how are we supposed to swallow the blindest and dumbest son of a bitch in the sport being the most respected senior official?

Least believable champion in modern times: Bob Backlund. Huh?

Event which most sharply contrasts with the believability of said pensioner returning to the sport and becoming champion after a massive battle with one of the sport's most respected professionals: Backlund getting his arse pasted in eight seconds flat by Kevin Nash, a short week after taking the title off Bret.

Most hokey gimmick of all time: Razor Ramon.



That's all I can think off for now gators. Let you know if I think of any more.
 
How about "the storyline that never got finished or concluded":

The relationship between Gangrel and Edge. When Edge debuted, he had a feud with Gangrel because of "something involving their past".
But I don't think this was ever explained because then Christian joined the WWF(you're welcome, Big Jim) and The Brood was formed. Did I miss something here?

He looked wooden and painfully stiff in the ring and his promos were about as believeable as Stumpy O'Leg McNoleg's participation in the Market Harborough marathon.

The funny thing is, about 7 years ago, I used to hate Flair for these very reasons. When I was in high school, watching Flair on WCW Monday Nitro, I just could NOT buy Flair's performance, considering his flabby physique, his old age, and his getting destroyed by people like Kevin Nash without shattering a hip bone, among other things. Now, I find him amusing for these very reasons. Aside from the typical old-fart wrestlers, like Hogan, Michaels, etc., he's actually THE old-fart wrestler.

"MID-LIFE CRISIS??? I experienced that 10 YEARS AGO! WHOOOOOO!!!"

I find his apparent senile(drunken?) incoherence to be quite entertaining.

As far as his staggering faceplant, I can't help but shake my head and snicker everytime I see it. He kinda reminds me of Glass Joe from the old Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! video game.

Also, whereas I used to figure he should be too old and fragile to do half of what he does, I came to the realization after watching him take dozens of back-body drops. He's a human baseball mitt! His back has taken so much of a beating in his 100+ years of wrestling, his back is now made of leather. I bet he could have MLB pitchers throwing fastballs at his back and not notice.

Ric Flair's good to go, in my book.
 
Oh...What the hell... Delurking

Favourite past:

I can't believe this guy hasn't been mentioned yet, but Dynamite Kid by a country mile. To me anyway the forerunner of the real work horse style wrestlers that are the mainstay of the business today, Chris Benoit being the most obvious I'd guess.

For that matter, how about Curt Henning, aka Mr Perfect? One of the funniest things I've seen in years was his return at the Royal Rumble. Two or three top names trying to shove him over the top rope and he still manages to spit and slap the chewing gum...

And of course, Bret Hart. How many guys can get away with wearing Pink and Black and still look capable of kicking your arse? Never seemed to quite fit in with the "attitude" era but who cares? Just a stunning talent and from all reports a pretty damn good human being as well.

Favourite Present:

Mick Foley - you have to ask?
The Rock - Okay, I STILL don't like him in the ring but for entertainment value you can't do better.
RVD - Yeah, yeah, spot machine and all the rest of the criticism, but when let 'off the leash' could, and still can, do some amazing stuff in the ring. Van Terminator still ranks as my all time favourite finisher.
Taz - Yes it's only got one Z damn it 😉 Hey, he might be a commentator these days, but I'd love to see someone get on his bad side again, even if only for a brief, between PPV angle. Also the man who got me interested in wrestling again after a loooong time with his dismantaling of Angle at the 2001 Royal Rumble.
Shawn Michaels - I know there's all the backstage and political stuff but I'm putting all that aside here. HBK was, is and forever shall be one of my all time favourites in the ring. Makes everyone he works with look great, very rarely has a bad match, usually has great ones, and to see him able to wrestle full time is just jaw-dropping considering the state he was in at... WM14 I think it was?
Chris Benoit - For gods sake, someone turn him heel again, PLEASE? Benoit in full-on attack mode is just a thing of beauty in the ring and it was great to see him win the big one this year. Well deserved.
Jerry Lynn - What the hell happened to Jerry in the WWE? Should have been a real name player for them by now, a great talent in the ring and his ECW matches with RVD are still some of my favourites.

There's a load more of course, but that's the top few.

Biggest Missed Opportunity: WWF versus WCW 2001

Biggest Mark-Out Moment: ECW invasion of WWF 2001

Biggest "rip my heart from its socket and splatter it over the ground in crushing disapointment" moment: Seeing Stephanie McMahon walk out to "lead" ECW and seeing all hope for something unique blink out of existence.

Not that I'm bitter you understand.... okay I'm bitter, sue me. It could have been great, ECW outnumbered and outgunned so resorting to suicide tactics to win, the crowd split between the home team and the tribe of extreme, Paul Heyman as their mouthpiece... *sigh* beginning of the end for my long term interest in WWE shows I'm sad to say.

Oh, almost forgot, Jim mate? Greatest professional for conduct throughout his career should surely be the Mickster? 'Taker has, how shall we put this, had his occasional off days and while I respect the hell out of the guy just seems to me like Mick beats him to the finish line on this one.
 
Just looking at some of the responses on this thread, and thought I'd comment from my original post:

As far as current tag teams, very current, I'd go with Billy Kidman and Paul London. Mainly cause I'm impressed with London's acrobatics in recent matches. I thought maybe The Hardy's would be getting back together with Jeff wrestling again, but it looks like he's staying with TNA Wrestling.(his upcoming match with Jeff Jarrett should be good, though)

Ric Flair needs to retire...end of story......I don't enjoy watching him out there bumbling around thinking he's still 25 years old.

As far as Triple H, yeah, he's an A-Hole, but he's also the one wrestler who always hold my interest. Even when he's whining about wanting the belt. And I think he still has a passion for this business, being a millionaire's son-in-law not withstanding.

Bret Hart, still in my 5 favorite greatest wrestlers of all time. He deserves one more come-back, even just to come out, and get a 10 minute standing ovation. I think that would justify his whole career.

The Rock needs to come back to wrestling full-time. He's a great entertainer(like we saw this past Monday night), but he also needs to back up his abilities more than a peoples elbow on Ro-bert Conway.(like we saw this past Monday night)

And Monty Brown in TNA is definetly one of the most impressive of the newer wrestlers on the scene.

Mick Foley's never been anything other than a total professional, but he's also been forced to put over more other guys than anyone in the history of the business, so he's not really got as much to give someone else by being a pro in-ring.

By the way tosser, nice to see you again. Don't be too much of a stranger. 😉
 
Wrestling ramblings

First off, and this is just because its in the forefront of my mind, but can a wrestling theme get any better than Jake Roberts' was in his WWF heyday? Anytime I'm watching an old tape and hear that, I still get excited.

Let's see. I began watching wrestling right before Wrestlemania IX, so at the time, my favorites were:

Bret Hart. One of the best wrestlers, period.

My friends and I used to make fun of Tatanka's war dance, but I still thought he was cool.

Lucky for me, there was a video store with a large wrestling collection near my grandma's house, so I quickly became a fan of Demolition and the Brainbusters.

Nowadays, for no reason I can rationally think of, I definitely am a huge Billy Gunn fan. Maybe it's because he came on the WWF scene soon after I started watching, so I've seen him the most. Also am a fan of Jeff Hardy, RVD, Batista and Paul London.

New category: Greatest wrestlers to never win a world title (in no particular order):

Owen Hart
Scott Hall
Arn Anderson
Rick Rude

Thats all I can think of for now
Christian
 
My all time favorites:

Bret Hart
The Undertaker
Shawn Michaels(yes,he may be a dick,but he's one of the most naturally gifted performers ever in this industry,he probably would have been a rock star if not a wrestler)
Ricky the Dragon Steamboat(can't believe nobody's mentioned him yet)

Current favorites:

John Cena
Edge
Triple H

Favorite tag teams ever:

The British Bulldogs
The Rockers

Guy who was kinda entertaining despite having an idiotic gimmick:

The Repo Man-say what you want,those vignettes of him sneaking around at night repossessing someone's car because they were an hour late on their payments were priceless

Stupidest gimmicks in the history of the business:

Xanta Claus-Santa's evil twin,who steals toys from little children,the character lasted about a week,then was put out of it's misery
The Shockmaster-the man formerly known as Tugboat puts an on Imperial Stormtrooper mask covered in purple glitter paint.As if this wasn't enough,during his big debut he trips coming down the ramp.Even the commentators were laughing.
Arachno-Man-Guy wearing a Spider-Man outfit colored yellow and blue instead of red and blue,listed as hailing from Webtown USA.The plug was pulled after Marvel threatened to sue.
Phantasio-A magician whose finishing move was giving his opponent a magic wegie in which their underwear were completely pulled out of their tights.How this made them easier to pin,I have no clue.
Giant Gonzalez-Something like 7 foot 7 inches tall,brought in specifically so Taker would have an oponent bigger than him.Unfortunately,the man moved so slowly he made Andre the Giant look like the 123 Kid.
Bastion Booger-Enormous fat man who seemed to have no apparent gimmick besides being an enormous fat man.

And,my vote for the Worst.Angle.Ever:

OK,I have to pick two.

For WCW,Beach Blast 1993-For some reason I will never undestand,the geniuses at WCW decided that their main event at this show needed a mini movie leading into it.This movie consisted of Sting and the British Bulldog playing beach volleyball,Sid Vicious and Vaser showing up wearing flip flops,and a midget scuba diver wearing a shark fin blowing up a boat.

For WWF,The Gobblygooker at Survivor Series 1990.Selling point of the PPV was that a giant egg would hatch there.Out comes a man in a rooster suit who then proceeds to dance in the ring with Mean Gene Okerlund,who executes a half assed cartwheel.The crowd absolutely hates it and boos loudly.Gorilla Monsoon and Roddy Piper are doing commentary,and try to convince you that you're not actually hearing booing and the crowd loves the Gooker.Even at 9 years old I could tell they were full of it.
 
Favourite Wrestlers ever:
British Bulldog
Hulk Hogan
Mick Foley

Some people might reckon that they're crap but the first two of my list were brilliant in their heyday.

Best Tag Team
Legion of Doom

Whhhhhhhhaaaattttttt aaaaaa rrrrrrrrush!

I can remember that as well. :blaugh: I did hear a rumour that the guy in the suit was Owen Hart. Anyone know the truth or lack of to that rumour?
