Five0pd310 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'd like to see some of these MMA pansies (just kidding, by the way) take on this man during his hay day. Rest in peace, JYD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CNOrtega Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Are we talking about pro wrestling or regular wrestling? I have an answer for both. Greco Roman: Alexander Karelin Pro Wrestling: Some unknown guy named Hulk Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePirate Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 The Junkyard Dog didn't want any of "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. Though JYD's finishing move, the DogButt, was funny. He would crawl around on all fours and issue headbutts then lift his leg as if he was near a fire hydrant. Hacksaw's three-point stance clothesline was better. In fact, I still occasionally use it at Wal-Mart. Now that I think about it, Rampage Jackson acts kinda like JYD. :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5starboss Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Dan Gable I thought about him too.______________________________________________ Angle won the Olympic HW Gold medal in freestyle wrestling in Atlanta '96. He's been WWF and TNA champ. He's got a legit background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bleeds Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Fritz Von Erich. Hands down. The "Iron Claw" was feared by all who would enter the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 1. Andy Kaufman Wrasslin wasnt real when Kaufman was performing. Dave, just say nay! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePirate Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Fritz Von Erich. Hands down. The "Iron Claw" was feared by all who would enter the ring. That's right... When attached to the head the "Iron Claw" would render on opponent unconscious, usually immediately following profuse bleeding from the temples. When applied to the solar plexus, it often caused acute appendicitis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveTV1 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Dave, I figured you were a fan of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Give me Ken Patera or Harley Race over Dusty "Roundhouse" Rhodes. I liked "Dirty" Dick Murdoch, but not Dusty. If what we're talking about doesn't make you laugh, maybe this will : . The Midnight Express in pink tights.....

DaveTV1 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Nah. The REAL one; The Sportatorium. Why not the Omni in Atlanta ? Mr. Wrestling II and Rick Flair started out in Atlanta. The Sportatorium is gone, and I used to drive by it and remember my youth. It was just an old tin building off of I-30. I hated when The Great Kabuki, and The Missing Link came onto the scene. I never cared for J.Y.D., but I was a fan of "Pork Chop" Cash back when he would wrassle "Silento" Rodriguez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
