THE WRESTLING THREAD

[ulukinatme]

If I remember right Rock had his title taken by Mankind shortly there after during a super bowl halftime match where Rock was pinned by a forklift.... you read that right.

How do you get pinned by a forklift?! Can't believe I missed that match.
Rocky sucks.

Who do you think is going to turn heel???

Literally nobody who watches wrestling does it because they think it's real. It's closer to watching Game of Thrones than it is watching college basketball.

I'm with you.

I appreciate real wrestling for sure... WWE and such is a show about wrestling much the same way The Office was a show about an Office. It's funny, entertaining, athletic, and a number of other things... but it's not wrestling.

To me, this will always be wrestling

But not really. I did wrestle in grade school and junior high, but I was awful.

I'm sure you were...

I so look back at that era like, "How did we like those guys so much??" I never liked Hogan but even the guys I did like I watch highlights of now and think, "Dude, they freakin sucked... " lol

Yeah, a lot of them were hot garbage in the ring...but man, the promos were gold.

Roman Reigns has leukemia.

 

[ulukinatme]

Wow, not a fan, but I'll be rooting for him to fight this. That sucks.

My favorite wrestler was Andy Kaufman. He brought it every match, stood up to Jerry the King Lawler and was the Intergender Champion of the world while never losing to a woman.

Just so everyone knows. I only watched grown men in bikinis, rub each other without pain when I was a child. I still feel weird because of It.

Well, "It" is that time of year.

 

[Irish YJ]

[Sea Turtle]

The Honkey Tonk man was a good heel too. Loved his feuds with Macho Man.

For fans of real wrestling:

Sadulaev pinned Kyle Synder

Sadulaev is an absolute freak. I thought he would win, but not like that. Kyle Dake impressive as well.

 

[Irish YJ]

Bobo Brazille?

Winner. It's Brazil though.
Mr. Coco Butt!

 

[Sea Turtle]

Wasn't he the first black world champion?

 

[Irish YJ]

Wasn't he the first black world champion?

Yup, and first I believe to fight in a mixed race tag team match.

 

[Irish YJ]

how about these two. one was a long standing rival of Bobo. The other guy is, like Bobo, one of the early African Americans that gained notoriety.

This is pretty cool. Was hoping to see some players in it but there’s probably some rule against it. In case a picture doesn’t appear it’s Sheamus working out at ND.

That was awesome!

In related WWE news, Zach Ryder and Curt Hawkins recently visited my buddy's shop and picked up some wrestling figures. It was part of a new little WWE Youtube series "Zach and Curt Figure It Out."

This video has so much...you just have to watch it.

And yes, it looks like this match has Gangrel from the WWF Attitude era, along with the Toys R Us giraffe, the Dragonborn, and in the front row Rick and Morty.
