I'm afraid to know what you might suspect if I admitted that it was I that actually stumbled on the show.

i was obsessed with the wwf in the mid late 80s early 90s when i was a pre teen. got all the wrestling dolls and the ring, those were the only things i wanted for christmas or my bday. i had a huge collection, i must have had every wrestler. i remember the junk yard dog doll having a chain. totally lost interest in wrestling once i was a teenager. i blame it on girls.

that's what usually happens . . . I stuck with it a bit longer because, between girlfriends, I could always relax by watching men rolling around in their underwear.

you have probably seen this

Got drunk with him in 1993 in Savanah Georgia. I was so drunk I told him I could kick his ass. He said Marines hit for real he wasen't in to that! LOL!!

As I would always fume to my mom, "they aren't dolls!" Hated when she told me to pick up my "wresting dolls." Loved the pic, had all those "figures" except the guy in green pants. I believe that may be Billy Jack Haynes?

"I like my women with a full sweater and an empty head." Ric Flair (from a classic promo)

And the correct spelling is Whoooooooooo!

 

[CaptainJ]

Anyone remember the Wrestling Album? Junkyard Dog's Grab Them Cakes, etc? Quality stuff!

For anyone who liked Classy Freddie Blassie, here is a 1 hour show with Andy Kaufman called "My Breakfast With Blassie". Not Andy's funniest work, but after awhile they do get talking about their respective wrestling careers over breakfast in Hollywood.

Unbelievable that he's that old [actually, not really--I'm pretty sure he was about 45 when I was watching him back when I was a kid].

Greatest showman in a "sport" with lots of great showmen. Flair was the best heel out there.

Hacksaw definitely appeared at the Rumble on a panel. Flair was at Elimination Chamber on Sunday night.
