That's funny, even as a kid I was into Bret Hart (even through his heel-in-America turn) and later HHH.

Verne Gagne was killing guys at the old peoples home,too!

One tough hombre!


http://www.foxnews.com/story/2009/03/05 ... death.html


But all of that seemed well in the past until just weeks ago, when authorities say Gagne, 82 and suffering from Alzheimer's disease, apparently body-slammed a 97-year-old fellow patient at the suburban nursing home where they both lived, causing the man's death.

Hogan was great in the AWA. He was a budding star. Then he left and boom, he was big time like nobody ever before or since.

The figure-four leg lock is still a thing, huh?

Pretty good. He was a self-absorbed narcissist - said Captain Redundant (potential mult).

I don't get the Trump comparison Bernstein was throwing out. Being honest, where was it?

Thanks.

They could have done 2 hours on that though.

Oh, I believe it.

I just figured they moved on from...moves.

But, I suppose what’s old is new again.

Did you see the guy that actually pulled off the Boston Crab in an MMA match? He was able to get the guy to tap out from it.

It was ok, but if you know a decent amount about Flair, not much to learn.

How were you able to watch a Dallas-based promotion? They couldn't have had TV in Chicago.


Do you mean the WCW?

No, World Class with the Von Erichs was Dallas. I didn't think their TV spanned that far. I figured by the time promotions were chasing TV deals market-by-market, it was pretty much down to the WWF and NWA. But I guess they did have TV here!


Yeah, I could watch them. I didn't do it that often like WWF stuff but I liked Kerry Von Erich.

World Class was on cable on Saturday evenings around 6:00 p.m. If I remember correctly.
It came from the Sportatorium in Dallas, Texas.
All the Von Erichs, The Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy and Buddy Jack Roberts), Gentleman Chris Adams,
Gino Hernandez, The One Man Gang, Iceman King Parsons and Abdullah the Butcher.
Wow! Those were some great stars back in the day!

I didn't have cable. I was at the mercy of Channel 66.

Thanks for the reminder that all the cool kids had cable, Steve.

I loved the old school wrestling league from Minnesota that gave Mean Gene his start. They played that Steve Winwood song as the background music promoting upcoming matches, which was incongruous.

Then the Texas wrestling hit the market and I loved that as well. It just seemed like a faster, more athletic version of wrestling.

WWF was fun because of its ridiculous back stories and over exaggerated glamour.

I used to go to matches at the Horizon. I bought magazines. I watched every weekend. I lost interest by about 17. Figuring out for sure that wrestling was fake was like finding out there was no Santa Claus. I remember 20/20 spending an entire show on wrestling and John Stossel getting legitimately slapped around by a wrestler for suggesting it was fake.

I don't know what "cable" Steve was watching but did it exist way back then? I know there was Einhorn's early invention of "ON TV." I think it was on Channel 44. I used to watch the Von Ericks,Freebirds,etc. They would be on one of those UHF stations on Saturdays.

I didn't watch it but potential Bernstein Acolyte Feud.

Most people seemed to like the 30 for 30. Bernstein says he's happy he never knew who he was (couldn't find that old thread) and that he was a bad guy, mean, and compared him to Trump.

Baffoe immediately backtracks on why he thought it was good.

This could be fun.

Didn’t Leery do the same thing few months back? Expounded on how much he liked something , Bernstein disagreed , then Leery immediately recanted his endorsement of whatever it was ?

I am pretty sure it was on TBS. I got cable for the first time in 1978 or 1979 back when I was a cool kid.

You're talking Verne's AWA.
His son, Greg Gagne, had the worst physique of any wrestler to ever get in a ring.
Jake "The Mailman" Milliman and Buck "Rock & Roll" Zumhoff were two of the best jobbers around.

I liked the AWA when Verne Gagne was wrasslin! Bob Luce wrestling on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. The problem with AWA was no superstar ever wrestled another superstar on free TV. It was always jobbers vs. stars. Once in a blue moon you might get a taste but not too often.

That was misleading -- she was in wrestling for at least a couple of years before the brother died -- she just wasn't on WWE's main shows; she was working in the NXT dev league.

She had to be based on the timing they laid out. She was ripped and immediately kicking ass.

She she started in 2012 I think but she has said she was only in it because of how much her brother loved it. Once he died in 2013, that's when she decided to really take it seriously.

The show has barely started and all I have heard so far is Goff's incessant giggling and him complaining about mean texts.

...and an email from Bill on Capitol Hill READ. SLOWLY. by Bernstein!

flim-flammer Bernstein trying to explain he doesn't know who any professional wrestlers are (except for Hulk Hogan).

...and now he's talking about Buddy Rogers and Verne Gagne
