Epic set up. The smiles on Regal and Bryan...AND a excellent match!!

Or Kane as Diesel and Nash as himself

There are so many guys still lingering around in 97 that I thought were long gone until I watched all the 97 Raws last year. Fake Razor and Diesel being two

For years, I've been looking for all the "Man's Man" vignettes. Only ever seen the one uploaded where it is implied that he chopped like 50 trees into a massive pile of firewood in a single afternoon, but not the ones where he's shaving with his axe or the one where he "doesn't need a can opener" and pops a food can open by squeezing it like Popeye. Pretty sure there's a couple more I can't remember offhand, but WWE usually did about 5 of them before a person debuted.

he was in the end of the dixie carter years, then the old fed ex trick that sounds like tna learned from paul haymen. i would love to see who drew the check. we can ask jeff j now he has a podcast with conrad.

From the Savage A&E documentary.....

Hogan: "Savage and Steamboat didn't go out there and say 'oh we want to steal the show from Hogan and Andre'"

*immediately cut to Steamboat*

Steamboat: "We talked about wanting to have the match of the night and to do that we had to steal the show from Hogan and Andre."

Wut? So Flair allegedly never saw the chair shot despite the camera showing him looking directly at Austin as he gets the chair kicked into his head? Is that the "mistake" flair is meant to have made? The footage virtually makes no sense in that respect. :wtf:

Either Hogan or Austin for me.

My two favourite were Hulk Hogan and Greg Valentine. Hogan because he's Hogan and Greg Valentine because we share the same first name. The mind of a 5 year old.

Did you know Gorilla Monsoon and Andre the Giant had a boxing match in 1977

Demolition were always my number one.

Macho Man because I had the toy

Hogan, Mr Perfect, and the Hart Foundation

Oh, and Battlecat of course.

:D Dario's back in wrestling.

Might start watching MLW to see their take on Lucha Underground.

The Between the Sheets Patreon shows are by far the best wrestling Patreon shows around. The stuff Bix and Zellner uncover is amazing

I just listened to their "Sale of WCW" shows and came out of it with a totally different impression of Jamie Kellner. He definitely does not deserve the blame for killing WCW.

give me a sample plz

Growing up my favorites were Nash, Hall and Sting.

Also had a thing for Doink too. Thought that was just the greatest character.

Damn those thin wooden ladders spray painted to look metal!

Onita is bringing back FMW. Seems kind of pointless, imo.

Lmao I saw that. Someone dig up Mr.Pogo.

This is a preview of the show and actually discusses what I posted about. $5 a month and worth every penny if you're into deep dives

lol most of the good fmw guys are dead or too old to do anything.

"13 week transformation" damn

Never realised they used carts when the camera cut away for the heavier wrestlers in certain arenas. :lol:

The fuck? I thought this dude was like 60.

I have no idea how to embed this because it's Danish YouTube or whatever, but some dude who posts on a Facebook page I follow posted this Clip. The guy is from Denmark and found this clip from Denmark 1939. No idea who the wrestlers are and there's no sound but the picture quality is fantastic
