Dude. It was the HART Foundation with Bret "The Hitman" Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Gorilla Monsoon always used to say that Neidhart was a former NFL player "who quit playing football because it just wasn't tough enough".
I loved watching wrestling back in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. But I've been completely bored with it for the last 15-20 years and I never watch it any more. After Vince McMahon admitted in a courtroom that wrestling is "sports entertainment" and that the outcomes are pre-determined, I got the impression that the wrestlers no longer even attempted to pretend that it was legitimate, and the storylines got too outrageous and unbelievable for me to watch it any more.
My WWF / NWA / WCW favorites:
Ric Flair
Kerry von Erich
Hulk Hogan
The Hart Foundation
Mr Wonderful Paul Orndorff
George "The Animal" Steele
Lex Luger
Randy Savage
The Lovely Elizabeth (not a wrester, but she was hot)
The British Bulldogs
The Honky Tonk Man (loved his "Disco Inferno" theme song)
Andre the Giant
The Junkyard Dog
Mr. Perfect
Jesse "The Body" Ventura (best announcer ever in any sport)
My local favorites:
Handsome Harley Race
Nature Boy Kirby
Rufus R. Jones
The Stomper
Bob Geigel
Danny Littlebear
The Viking
Dory Funk Jr.
Terry Funk
About 6 years ago I was in a bar in NKC and some old fossil walked by. One of the guys in the group insisted that it was Bob Geigel. I said "No, that guy is too old". One of the girls yelled "Hey Bob!", and he came over to our table. It was Bob Geigel. He looked like he was about 150 years old. Considering that I watched him when I was a kid and I'm 55 now, he probably was only 85 or so.
