Say hello...to the bad guy.

Had to have one fave from each of the main two promotions.

Big John Studd and Kevin Sullivan

Kevin Sullivan? He's got an X on his forehead, two black eyes, a chain around his neck, and he's choking a bitch. And the best name he could come up with for himself was "Kevin Sullivan?"

Also known as "The Taskmaster"

Got 10 min to kill? Read up on his ex, Nancy Benoit.

Clip from Wikipedia.

"In an example of kayfabe (the storylines in wrestling) becoming real, Sullivan's wife Nancy Daus, left him in favor of his rival, Chris Benoit. In the late 90's Sullivan conceived an angle where Woman (Nancy Daus Sullivan, Sullivan's wife both on-screen and off), would leave his character for Chris Benoit's. Sullivan insisted that the two should travel together to preserve kayfabe for the general public and to make the affair look real, (hold hands in public, share hotel rooms, etc.).[5] Nancy ultimately married Benoit in 2000. Because of the real life imitating kayfabe, Sullivan and Benoit had a contentious backstage relationship at best and Benoit defeated Sullivan in a Retirement match at Bash at the Beach. Benoit did, however, admit having a certain amount of respect for Sullivan, saying on the DVD Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story that Sullivan never took undue liberties in the ring during their feud, even though he blamed Benoit for breaking up his marriage. Sullivan later publicly paid tribute to Chris and Nancy after their tragic deaths in June 2007."

Ric Flair is the greatest professional wrestler of all time. He was the best at making his opponent look like a world beater.

I loved watching him wrestle everyone. I saw him wrestle to the 60 minute time limit at least 10 times. These days, if there is 10 minutes of action its an amazing match.

I loved watching Dusty Rhodes help the 4 Horseman beat the Russians, only to be trapped in the cage and attacked by the 4 Horseman afterwards.

He had great matches with everyone from Dusty Rhodes, Road Warrior Animal, Magnum TA, Rick Steamboat, Barry Windham, Nikita Kollof, Harley race, Sting, Terry Funk, Vader.....just everyone.

I always hated that Hulk Hogan was popular. He had three moves: The Boot, The Body Slam and The Leg Drop. That's all he could do.

Ah, he actually had a decent amount of wrestling skill / moves in his younger days. No where near Flair mind you, but he didn't become a three trick poney until he got older.

What a ruuuuuuuuusssshhhhhh.....

THAT'S HANDSOME HARLEY RACE TO YOU. Harley came to a pig roast a friend of mine had back in the late 70's. It was just a few miles from his birthplace of Quitman, Missouri. Population 45

Started watching because of Hulk Hogan.

Kept watching because of...

Big John Stud looks like Dog the bounty hunter...

In the mid to late 70s when I watched wrestling, some of the major wrestlers;

Chief Jay Strongbow and Billy Whitewolf- with their "sleeper" hold
Stan "The Man" Stasiak and his magic heartpunch
Superstar Billy Graham
Haystacks Calhoun and Gorilla Monsoon
Toru Tanaka
Bob Backland
Bruno Sammartino
Captain Lou Albano
Classy Freddie Blassie
Iron Shiek
Nikolai Volkoff and his Brain Claw
Blackjack Mulligan
Rowdy Roddy Piper

What? No 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan fans?

The 'Berserker' was a personal favorite.

http://www.desirulez.net/forumdisplay.php?f=818 this is my place to watch nxt it like old school wrestling without the mcmahon in it great talent and matches. I'm a fan of sami zayn and paige and emma the wyatt family casssius ohno and aaron neville. It's so good.

The Steiners.

I seriously used to have nightmares about Bruiser Brody! And does anyone remember the masked tag team of Mr. Wrestling #1 and Mr. Wrestling #2? I loved them and I have no idea why!

No one can top the Bushwhackers

The Rockers were cool too

Rick Rude (R.I.P.)

was a favorite wrestling villain when I was kid. I thought the guy was such a one who sucks the penis too.

Favorite tag team ever.

Isn't the Wyatt family coming to WWE?

DOINK THE CLOWN PRO WRESTLER DIES AT 55
BREAKING NEWS
Ex-WWE star Doink the Clown -- a hugely popular wrestler in the '90s -- was found dead today in Texas.

Doink, real name Matt Osborne, was known for pulling pranks on the other wrestlers ... all while decked out in full greasepaint and a green wig.

Details about Doink's death are unclear at this point -- but his girlfriend reportedly found him dead in her home ... where he'd been staying lately.

After leaving the WWE, he continued wrestling for ECW and independent leagues ... still sporting the clown costume.

More recently, he's been attending wrestling conventions and doing autograph sessions with fans.

Doink was 55.

What? No Jimmy Snuka?

Does anybody else remember going out to channel 2 studio in St. Joe and watching live on I believe Saturday nights. I am 52 now so that was about 40 to 45 years ago.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When did doink die?

Let's do this

I got to meet hacksaw Jim Duggan a few years back. There's so many I liked good and bad

I watched Jerry Lawler beat a dude bloody for real because he kept calling him a phony at a charity football game in Memphis around 88'.

reerun Strength FTW

mofojones is now playing the part of Hacksaw
beach is the King

RIP Doink

FYP

ROFL na I'm undertaker hogan or warrior.. Shit there's too many to choose from lol

What is a heel? A bad guy?

Yes

I loved those ultimate warrior youtube vids. I was like 8 or 9 during that time. I was a lil warrior and my shitbag stepbrother was a hulkamaniac. I remember the whole family watching that Wrestlemania when Warrior beat Hogan and my stepbrother and his mom cried while I ran around the room like the warrior runs to the ring. Lol......yea those were the days...

Just watched new movie "spring breakers" (btw its awful) but any way, Jeff Jarrett played a youth group minister in it...

Coco, Tugboat/Typhoon, Junkyard Dog,Ron Simmons, The Million Dollar Man, Honky Tonk Man, Big Boss

I think the Jeff Jarrett era of wrestling is what killed WCW.

I think all wrestling shows should be like these.

Now we just need a mod to give out the wrasslin names again. Let's do it!

Me too. Good times.

Whaahaaahaaaa

WOULD PAY TO SEE

Gotta love the Macho Man!

"What I'd like to have at this time, is for all you fat, out of shape Kansas cows to keep the noise down, while I show the ladies what a real sexy man is supposed to look like." Rick Rude circa 89 I think at the Kansas Expocenter in Topeka at Saturday Nights Main Event prior to Royal Rumble. Got to see Warrior vs Andre, Demolition, Hogan lose to Leaping Lanny Poffo. Awesome night for a 13 year old.

Rick Rude was always my favorite (and it didnt hurt that he knocked out Ultimate Warrior backstage legitimately), along with Randy Savage and Curt Henning.

;)
