Old School wrestlers

[Dagless]

How is you favourite older wrestler from the 70s or 80s (If ya know any at all)

Im predicting most youngsters on here will say Hogan of course, but any one have any one differeny to say???

May favourite would have to be The Nature Boy Ric Flair without a doubt. Followed closely by Harly Race then Orndorff

The Hillbilly brothers were great fun to watch. Also George the Animal Steel and Jimmy the Superfly Snuka were always good value.

 

[footy_4_life]

Steph thing ?

yeh have heard and read in alot of places that he got into
steph when she was about 15 and took her virginity...

about the time that savage was taken out of the ring and only
did commentary..

I used to love Regal when he was the WCW champ in the early 90's. it was Steve Regal back then. He still had the same gumby limp as though something was up his butt. And Jimmy Star lol

Oh and never forget to pitty the fool. Mr T.

In the great mans own words - " Ooooooh Yeeeeaaaaah "

So was I. Some great names there, beats the way it is today.
I dispute Mancini as being best jobber! Mr X was the best!
I don't know if anyone remembers the Wrestleriot tours in 1993 and 1994.
I was lucky enough to see JYD,Don Muraco, Jake The Snake, Big Boss Man,Demolition Smash, Road Warrior Hawk and a young Chris Benoit at Thebarton Theatre. I have a photo of us posing with Jim Neidhart and JYD.

these two ^^^^^^^^^^^^ how's that back then these two were wrestling for the IC title. That would be a better championship match than the current world titles in the last two years.
