On one hand, I'd hit it. On the other hand, I'd be scared to break her heart and have one of her brothers after me, and that'd be the best case scenario for me.

Just introduced a new wrestling fan to good wrestling promos by showing them this...

Prefaced it by telling them "Dusty Rhodes could sell a frozen dick to an Eskimo." Does it make sense? Fuck no. Does it fit? Apparently. They agreed it was way better than anything they've ever heard a wrestler do.

This is in my opinion in the top ten greatest promos ever.

Dusty Rhodes was so good at cutting promos that made you want to come see him kick someone's ass.

He was great at getting people into the arenas.

Probably the best promo of all time except for the conclusion. Felt like Dusty was talking about god at the end but then it turned to be about his dad. A little confusing at the end. It should have ended with the "Hard times blues" line. It was anticlimactic.

wrestling today just does not have the same feeling to it like it did then.

Nothing for me matches the fun and excitement of watching those old ring veterans cut their promos on a saturday night.

no script was needed to sell you into buying a ticket to see the Horsemen get their butts whipped by Magnum TA or Dusty Rhodes.

drave 12-24-2014 09:17 AM

Usually naming an animal before killing it implies some sort of disorder somewhere. Seeing as how he names his hunted deer "tim", implies there is someone named Tim needs a stunner.

That was also what Eric Bischoff called it. Said something to the effect that everything that sounded southern had to go (basically why he fired JR's ass.) They traveled around but it was clearly a Southern company because of Atlanta being their HQ and the Carolinas with Jim Crockett Promotions.

Lwt's be honest, WCW wasn't even on the radar before Hogan arrived. No one knew who Flair, Sting, Race were. They tried to go north and failed the vast majority of the time they tried, with few exceptions.

"Not even in the radar. Nobody knew who Flair, Sting, and Race were." That's a bit of a stretch.

#1-norm-fan 12-25-2014 05:38 PM

Yeah, there's a reason Flair didn't have to start from the bottom and work his way up the card when he came to WWF in 1991. Everyone who watched wrestling and a lot of people who didn't knew who Ric Flair was. He was already a legend.

To be fair a lot of that credit has to go to Bill Apter. Every wrestling fan I knew read Pro Wrestling Illustrated like it was the fucking Bible. That got Flair's name out there even if NWA wasn't big in a certain market. I don't remember watching WCW until 1993 but I knew who Ric Flair was before he came to the WWF in 1991.

I have also heard that Taz has signed with CBS Radio, so I'm assuming the podcast will be available on there as well. Taz's podcast drops on January 7th, and his first guest will be WWE Hall of Famer Adam "Edge" Copeland. Taz noted on Twitter that he will also discuss some behind the scenes details after he made his WWE debut at the 2000 Royal Rumble.

There's also a feeling that Vince made it clear those were the only ones he sees that have top star potential.

Triple H actually gave a speech to the WWE roster after morale got bad due to the interview. His speech was described as an attempt at damage control that backfired.

As a general rule backstage, the talents in NXT love Triple H, but on the main roster, whatever he said in the speech lost him a lot of credibility, especially among those who have been with the company for some time.

More details from the latest Observer issue:

He was billed as the "real worlds champion" because he had the belt. That's why he didn't start from the bottom. There's a reason WCW couldn't draw flies to shit in any city above the hillbilly line.

They did well in the Midwest. They did well in Chicago, Ohio, etc.

If Sting had held the title in the months before Flair left, he still would have come to WWE and instantly been in the title picture. It's Ric Flair. He's one of the most famous wrestlers of all time and it's not because of his time in WWE or his time in Hogan-era WCW.

Most WWE fans got the first look of Ric Flairs past in wrestling on the DVD releases.

That's because of the Road Warriors.

Ohio was a JCP territory

At its height JCP was 6 owned regional promotions. That sort of gave an illusion that it was national. It was just six local pockets of operation. Once they tried to expand nationally they ran out of money fast and sold out to Turner. It was always considered southern regional because it started in the Mid-Atlantic and had southern announcers, stars, owners etc

Wcw and jcp wrestlers were very well known. Not at the level of hogan during his height but all the way up to New York they had a presence. And wrestling fans knew of both.

I can't speak to how far out west they had a good prescence but at least through the Midwest to Minneapolis and down to Texas.

This debate is more thread worthy than most we have seen as of late.

They weren't well known to the WWF audience. Different kind of wrestling fans. Been watching the WWF since 87 and I had no idea who Flair was.
