How cool! She had two wrestlers, huh? You would think that she would have learned her lesson the first time, wouldn't you? Alot of those guys either used steroids or drugs or drank way too much. It is a shame because there were some really great athletes back in the day!

"Rasslin'

I live about two miles from where Miss Elizabeth took her last breath at the hands of Lex Luger ( local news says he supplied the dope). I watched Wrestlemania 7 on tape last night where Macho Man Randy Savage got beat By the Ultimate Warrior and Savage and Miss Elizabeth did the whole "Let's make up thing". She was a hot one and Luger should have done time, but he was not even charged in her death. "Accidental" ruling.
I used to have reserved seats ringside at the Cobb County Civic Center every sunday night for 6 years and we all cheered for the bad guys: Arn Anderson, Ivan Koloff, etc. and people got so fucking mad at my crew they had to get security to escort us to our car most weekends. My cousin always went with me-7'1"-315
lbs, and looked mean as hell but they didn't care. They wanted to fuckin' KILL us! It was lots of fun.
Remember Tommy Rich? He wrestles local here and looks like shit.
All those pretty looks are gone now-booze and ass whuppins'!
You aren't supposed to "get" "rasslin. It is just like soap operas, movies like STAR WARS, or saturday cartoons-it's entertainment. Nothing more-nothing less.
Vince understood that and look at the size of his bank roll.
Thanks for the list of wrestlers that have passed away. They all gave me enjoyment in living and I will miss them in death.
Oh, yeah. Wahoo McDaniel spit on me one time and got barred from wrestling in Cobb County, Georgia. Does that make me a celebrity?

How cool! I would have loved to seen that. Here in Dallas there was this old man that everyone called "Pops" he looked like he could barely stand and maybe weigh 100 lbs soaking wet. He sat on the aisle that the bad guys would come down and he would stand up and yell at them and shake his finger in their face and they would yell at him and go along with it and tell him "Old man sit down!" stuff like that. But all the wrestlers loved that old man and his face would turn so red yelling at them. We were always afraid he was going to have a heart attack, he would get so upset with them. One Christmas night we went to the wrestling matches at Reunion Arena in Dallas and we had ring side seats and Pops was in a section to the left of us. The matches had just barely got started and some of the wrestlers, can't remember who now, were outside the ring, after being thrown out of the ring. We noticed that someone was on the floor. I told my mom that it was Pops. They stopped the match and turned on the house lights and they made it out like they had got him breathing and were taking him to the hospital in the ambulance. But he never started to breath. He died doing what he loved best. That next Friday night some of his family was there in his usual seat and they had a moment of silence and prayer for him and there was not a dry eye in the place, including the wrestlers. Alot of them attended his funeral.

Bumping the thread back to top

 

[Shadowpaladin]

There ain't a real man alive that hasn't swilled brew and scarfed popcorn while watching 300 pound behemoths beat the ever lovin' shit out of each other-and loved it! Fess up boys (and girls, you love it ) and let's hear who your favorite 'rassler is or was and why.
Mine- Old school, Stan "The Man" Hanson. I watched him beat 5 men into bloody slop live one night. He was BAD!
New Age-"Stone Cold" without doubt!
Don't be a pussy and say you ain't watchin' it...we know better!

I will have to tell Damsel about this thread when she gets back from the hospital. She is a huge fan of wrestling.... Has a huge collection of autographed pics she's collected from all over. For Christmas I gave her an old program I had that had autographs of the Von Erics...........

Cool. There were some really cool guys in Wrestling back in the day. Don't watch it much anymore and since they are not here too often I haven't seen a match in forever. My son is almost 12 and has never been!

That's a shame...... And the televised things aren't the same as the old days..... Damsel may watch the new stuff but there is nothing quite like going to the less "Big Time" Promotions.........

I agree. I was fun and even going to small towns and it was held in the high school gym or the rodeo grounds.

Yes, it is a pity there are not more of such promotions anymore.... It is a good thing that Vince has brought to Television the joy of it but it has also devalued the "small" promotions..... LOL....... After all if it were not for the "small" promotions I would have never met one of my best friends in this world...... My good friend Swain was retired from the sport way to early and before his talent in the "sport" was known.....

Half of the enjoyment for the smaller promotions is the "At Home" feel of the venues they use....... The pays not good and the traveling conditions are often worse than being homeless but it is obvious the Talent does it out of a sense of enjoyment........ Alright... And a desrie to mayhaps "Make it" to the bigger shows........ One has to start somewhere don't they?

Man, this thread brought back a lot of memories. I grew up in a small town, so for some reason, the whole town got sattelite tv.

We would get stampede on our one local channel out of clagary and then WOR out of New york for WWF and then some channel out of dallas that every friday night had the "von erich" wrestling. Man that was good!!!

The 'claw' was my favorite finishing move!! Baron Miguel secluna or something like that wasn't it?

WWF had the unpredictable johnny roz...... lost every match!! Quck draw rick mcgraw was great, even though he lost every match as well, you always thought, just maybe he would pull off an upset!! He was another one who died prematuraly!!

Lets talk!!

WOR?! Dayum! That's from WAY back in the day, and I remember it fondly!

Anyone remember the "Saturday Night Main Event" matches? I remember breaking a LOT of curfews to watch them!

LOL...... As do I....... Anyone else remember the good old Free Birds?

 

[tonitits]

Yeah The Freebirds were great and very personable guys! Even Michael Purely Sexy Hayes. Bam Bam Terry Gordy was always a gentleman, outside the ring.

Does anyone remember the Fantastics? They came out to the ring with ZZ Top Sharp Dressed Man and they had their tights and fancy vest on?

I think every kid that ever attended the matches and probably some who didn't have put the claw on someone. I put it on my son, that is how he learned about it! lol.

After all of you brought back so many memories,I went looking to see what I could find on the web. I found a bulletin board dedicated to wrestling excuse me wrassling.It is all about the
time we all are remebering, no modern day allowed. They have different parts connected to different federations,all federations,from florida to wccw to nwa to wwf,everything.
As a side note,Toni, your friend percy pringle is a poster there on the threads involving WCCW in texas.

Thanks for the link Oman. While I was there I found some of the information I was trying to think of. Killer Tim Brooks was the wrestler I was trying to think of. He was one ugly guy but very nice. I also saw that a few of the wrestlers that had wrestled there from time to time had died. They had a list going and ppl were adding to it as they knew of others. Joe Rinelli, that one does not surprise me, he was pretty old back then. I will always remember him, he was a little gay guy but he picked 4 out of 5 Miss Tx models who ended up becoming Miss USA. Mike Davis, didn't know he had died either I don't think, if I did, I forgot, Billy Travis, Bronco Lubich, Ray Candyaka, a few of those I didn't know. But the one that really shocked me was Jeff Raitz. He lived not too far from me. And right after I moved to my house I had a visit from an old friend who was also a wrestler, Chris Youngblood, and he told me that he had visited him. I figured with him living here that if he had died I would have heard about it. I couldn't find any info on how/when he died.
When he came to WCCW he was real young, early 20's and had only been married about a yr. I believe. He was always very nice. Didn't know him real well though.

Also Nick Foley was know as "Cactus Jack" back then. He always acted like he was a little bit off, but when you actually talked to him you could tell that he was actually a pretty smart guy.
