I cherrypicked them out of an album of 150 photographs. It was amusing to go through them all.

If they're all hilariously mis-labeled, you should post.

I think this categorizes as cyber bullying. Would feel mad guilty.

It's only cyber bullying if you make fun of it. I'm certainly not.

wtf at shitty quality :/

The Wild Bunch were incredibly an underrated team.

Billy Black and Joel Deaton were two great guys that had gone underutilized until they went to Japan and made a name for themselves.

They did make a handful of appearances for ECW in the mid 90s.

They were just tremendous in the ring together imho.

Billy Black hurt their chances though as he was a pain to deal with at times for bookers/promoters.

John Laurinaitis is the other person in the video as Johnny Ace. Ace was huge in Japan.

folks might not realize just how big of a star he was. Here in the states he's often only remembered as a Dynamic Dude.

here's the video you mentioned.

Dat E'RYTHANG!

Yeah, but they couldn't even be assed to properly book Gail Kim past winning the Women's Championship on her debut- both times, may I add- and let her fuck off into piss break obscurity, so that was a tall order to make Layla even half the superstar she should be known as by now.

Apropos of nothing: I fell for Layla since the Diva Search "obstacle course" thing where she ran it, had time to spare, and crossed the finish line by hitting a split with flair and a big ass smile on her face. That little nothing, throwaway event showed off her athleticism, charisma, and, of course, her lovely, lovely body...:drool:

This is one of those things about big guys who can go like this: they may not be able to do a 900 splash off the top, but I'd rather take said 900 splash than a moonsault from one of these guys. They're so big, the moonsault would hurt more. Very physical style, with just enough flash to make you take notice.

They're currently behind Bad Company on my list of most underrated tag teams.

btw Kobashi never appeared here in the US til 2005.

that video was of a match held in Japan for All Japan Pro Wrestling around 1991ish.

I was responding to something he mentioned in a pos rep.

He mentioned he thought it was cool that Kobashi worked US tv in 1992.

and don't be all "1991ish" when you've blatantly seen it was 1992 in the video info http://www.tpwwforums.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

All hail King William the Dwarf Batterer of Blackpool

AKA Billy the Dwarf Tossing Tosser

Just listened to Regal on Jericho's podcast. Wonderful interview.

I love how Seth alwasys has something good to say about these randoms, even when most of the time its blatantly obvious that hes pulling data from Wikipedia.

"Oh This guys was great *Reads a wikipedia page and sees a reference to a feud* he had some great matches with "insert name here" and eventually made his way to "insert company""

Yes, I was saddened to hear of the death of the great Tony Rowney back in 2009

He was a great heel and his feud with Giant Haystacks is hugely underrated.

A wrestler who spent 20 years fighting some of the best-known names of the 1970s and 1980s including Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy has died.

Tony Rowney, who was known as The Ring Gladiator, died at his home in Kettering in the early hours of Thursday, aged 70.

During his career he was the Midlands middleweight wrestling champion and an Army boxing champion.

His son, also called Tony, said: "He loved the showmanship. He was a baddie and he used to love winding up the crowd.

"He was a warrior and he fought all his life, right up until the end.

"He had an enormous character and loved his family.

"There was a tremendous amount of skill in what he did."

Mr Rowney, a former steelworker in Corby, wrestled for more than 20 years and went on to spend another 20 years as head of security at Wicksteed Park in Kettering.


His family was at his bedside when he died after losing his battle with cancer.

His son said: "His strength was amazing and he had a great sense of humour.

"I went to watch him wrestle from when I was about 10. I could see him getting hit, but I was more worried for the people he was fighting."

Mr Rowney fought in front of crowds at venues across the country including Corby's Stardust Club and the Windmill Club, Rushden.


He fought some of the biggest names of the era including Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy.

That was pretty easy

bullshit fucker.

I know what I'm talking about. I've studied and been a fan of wrestling nearly all my life.

the articles are of course not my work.

any comments otherwise are mine.

I could name off a hundred different guys most of the people here never heard of. just because you never knew them doesn't mean they weren't important.

guys like Buddy Landell and Tom Prichard are two wrestlers for example who respect and admire what Ron Wright did for the business.

the wrestlers knew who he was and respect the man for what he gave to wrestling.

Ron Wright was and is a legend to those who know who he is.

I've known about the Wild Bunch too for years.

I've studied their careers for a long fucking time.

Joel Deaton is one of the nicest guys in the biz.

I have a deep admiration and love for pro wrestling.

I have studied this stuff for years.

I don't really give a shit that you hate jap shit or etc.

I love japanese wrestling. All Japan was the greatest wrestling company of the 90s.

Leave Seth82 alone.... let him make his posts... "better contribution" than half the other posts made on the rassling forum....

First time i've ever seen this, taking turns at the spinaroonie.

I know that. I miss worded the rep message, which is entirely possible and in character for me. :-\

I think what I meant was, it was kind of awesome to see footage of Kobashi that was shown on US Soil in 1992, 13 years before he would come himself.

As for Hanso, it was Seth's posts that got me watching SMW shows over the past few days. I appreciate hearing about folks I may not know anything about, and learning a thing or two about wrestling history.

Do they do midget rasslin in Japan? Or is it just called rasslin bc the average jap is like 4 foot 8??

Y'all gonna make me have to pull the damn patrol car around

Becky Lynch howyadoin

Dixie Dy-No-Mite, I wonder who HE is... :shifty:

And this video is missing the Main Event of "Prime Time" Brian Lee vs. "Dirty" Dutch Mantell for a spot in the tournament. That's fine, because I still can't get over how ridiculous Brian Lee looks.

:lol: First time I ever heard about this story. Love how dedicated Regal was to the joke.

Still a better promo than his dad's speech.

Some advice for future applicants:

Don't record your audition video at your desk in front of your dirty ass room.
