Anyone else a "serious" Wrestling nut from the '80's?

Aw come on FTW! I think the Macho Man said it best himself circa (1989):

"I'm the greatest World Wrestling Federation champion- past, present and future, yesterday, today and tomorrow. I am the greatest superstar ever to step into the squared circle and Mean Gene Orkurland, don't bet against me diggit yeah!!"

Those early fueds with Hogan when he was the Intercontintal Champion were the best. He won more then he lost, but only on a countout. I knew then that wrestling was fixed. The fued he had with the Warrior in 1991 was probably my favorite rivalry ever. That went on for 5 or more months and it was great.

Kurt Angle is a close second.

what about coco b ware?!

Koko B Ware with the parrot gimmick was hillarious.

A good story about Curt Henning (R.I.P.)....he and Nash were under the ring for one of those "when the lights go out they appear in the ring" skits and then Henning had to take a shit so bad he couldn't see anywhere so he essentially shit partially on the floor and in his trunks. Part of the skit was Nash had to bodyslam Henning and he said it was the worst smell and he gagged & almost puked while slamming him, true story.

Also, when wrestling was at the Garden or Fleetcenter...all the wrestlers would stay at the East Boston Hilton near the airport so we would go there after the matches to catch them in the bar. We were ballsy enough to ask Buff Bagwell, Lex Luger & Elizabeth (R.I.P.) if we could join them for drinks. They were completely cool and had a few with them. I had brought a magazine from the 80's with me for some autographs and some of Luger's pics were in there. All of them crowded around and started laughing, etc. Good night had by all.

Hell yeah bro im a old scool fan but my favorite wrestilng was the real ECW. man that was the shit.

"hands of stone" Ronnie Garvin the 1 punch wonder!!

ECW took everything to a new level....I just love watching New Jack bloody people up and hearing Dr. Dre's song playing constantly during the match, lol.

Shock
 
I went and seen ECW live once and had front row seats and you know how they would fight all the way out in the audience. Well during The RVD / Balls Mahoney match i was right in the middle of it on tv following em around the building and got on tv. One of the best matches i seen was the RVD/ Jerry Lynn match or the Sabu / Terry Funk barb wire match. Man i miss ECW

And check this out. After the show was over we went outside where most of the wrestlers were signing autographs and Balls Mahoney took a Van Terminator to the head and had a concushion {sp} anyway he walks out back and asks can somebody tell me what state im in? And some kid cracks up and says you dont even know where you are? And then it turned ugly and Mahoney got in the kids face and says look kid im kinda fuked up right now and dont wana hear one more word out of you or else and somebody tell me what state im in. You could hear a pin drop and was funny as shit.

ha ha good one. I have a good one also...we used to go to the Indy shows at the local I.B.E.W. hall...small time wrestling, when Phil Apollo, etc. were just getting started, etc. There was this jobber named the Pink Assasin who used to go around and spray a Glade can at the audience, etc. Well there was this mentally challenged kid who snuck up behind him and grabbed his spray can and started running around the audience with it. It was hillarious..they could not catch this kid he was running up and down the aisles with the Assasin's can spraying everyone...and when a security guard would be in distance the kid had cookies with him and started throwing cookies at the security guards, etc. The matches etc. were put on hold until finally they caught the kid. Too funny..
Or the battle royals in the bathroom?? Jeez when I was younger...there would be 20 or so kids in the bathroom then someone would shut the lights and trash cans would get thrown around, people thrown into bathroom stalls, chairs in the hallway would be picked up and thrown in the bathroom, etc. I did come home one night with a cut under my eye, lol. Man I could write a novel...

Shock
 
Lmao the retarded kid stole the show, now thats funny.

Here is a ICW story the frederation where Macho Man got his start cause his dad Angelo Pofo was the owner.
Anyway Savage came in on the way to the ring and was heckeling fans and came up to like a 70-80 year old woman and was giving her hell and i swear to god she pulled out a 38 special and pointed it right at his head. The whole building hit the floor and Savage almost shit himself cause of a old woman LoL.
Sad part was security got her before she could kill that bastard. :D

And K the reason i hate Savage goes back almost 20 years when he use to come out to the village peoples song macho man :rolleyes: and anybody that sounds like they got shit everytime they talk just anoys the hell out of me.

Are you from Minnesota? Sorry to get off topic.
 
I remember on Gerogia championship what Dusty Rhodes said to the Road Wariors once " Road Wariors there is alot of pain and fighting in this old body of mine and there is alot of parting and wild women if you will in this old body of mine. But Road Wariors there is not one , i say not one steroid in my body."

And yeah it showed on the son of a plumber from Austin Texas.You know that had to piss Animal and Hawk off for real but Dusty Roades mic skills was cool as hell in the 80's he had em all beat.

I'll tell ya....as much as you liked The American Dream, I hated that fat pigs guts, lol. You want a monster.....I'll sick Abdullah the Butcher after him. I just was never into Rhodes and his "bionic elbow". JJ Dillon/Kevin Sullivan should have finished that cow off years ago, lol. Remember Kevin Sullivan had Mike Davis brainwashed into thinking he was Dusty Rhodes, lol!!!

Worst fall of all time HAD to be poor Mick Foley falling from the first Hell in the Cell...we were watching it live and it still sends shivers up and down my spine. We all looked at each other in horror..we thought he was dead (not to mention getting piledrived on a bunch of tacks, ouch)

Another funny time even though it was recent was watching the Dudley's powerbomb 80yr. old Mae West off the staging where the interviews are done and onto the tables, etc. below. THAT was crazy!

Next was that video clip of Sid Vicious trying to do that legdrop and having is entire leg/ankle snap like a Rice Krispie....I made a couple of people at work sick from watching that ha ha!!
