The fat old guy is King Curtis. The little guy is Kevin Sullivan, who believe or it or not, used to be a pretty scary wrestler. Curtis is now the Master, and apparently Sullivan's father. They hated Hulk Hogan. Somewhere in here, Brutus the Barber turned on Hogan and joined up with Sullivan, then Hogan beat him and Sullivan turned on him, giving him amnesia until he came back as Zodiac, who later turned out to be a spy for Hogan all along, who...ow, my head.

A-C: The old fat man was King Curtis Iaukea, a legendary Hawaiian pro wrestler. The stupid guy in red is Kevin Sullivan, and everyone was in the stable. D: I never got what the deal was with the "It's not hot!" sketch. E: Par for the course.

Norman Smiley was always cool in my book because on some random Saturday Night in December of 97 he did a promo saying he had Sting's back. I'm sure Sting appreciated that one.

Lash LeRoux. Yes, seriously. I was so annoyed when he didn't win the cruiserweight title at Superbrawl 2000. Although that might have been due to two reasons: 1. They changed his cool stock music to that dodgy harmonica one. 2. It gave us new cruiserweight champion "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Iakuea".

TNA used a six-sided ring for the majority of their existence. it feels really weird seeing it now.

My favourite was Fat Chick Thriller Mike Awesome. My favourite storyline was when Jim Duggan shaved his beard and turned heel. nasboat posted:I was a fan of Hole In One Darsow. I liked when Harlem Heat hit Barry Darsow in the head with the tag title around 1999/2000 and knocked him back in time to 1995. This was the best storyline. *Edit* I can't even find any reference to it now. He got hit on Worldwide, and showed up on Saturday night as the Blacktop Bully and thought that the match he had with Rhodes in the flatbed truck in 1995 just took place the night before. *Edit again* Here's a vague reference to it: http://wrestling.insidepulse.com/2006/05/17/48584/ Here's the match where Darsow's brains get scrambled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JSw2YYPx58 Zack_Gochuck fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Mar 22, 2013 |

The dyslexic wrestler who was the worlds number one hulkamaniac and loved his bunny? The guy who was so hated by the fans that any heel who beat him got turned face for a night? Yeah he was pretty cool.

I liked 3 Count way more than anybody probably should have. I don't know why, but I have a fondness in my heart for silly gimmicks in that vain; I also really liked the Spirit Squad in WWE. I guess maybe because it's a little unconventional, really silly and just lets you have fun.

Red posted:Bret's book is outstanding - at least while he's writing about his youth and the Stampede days. He paints an amazing picture of the Hart household. Don't know if you've already heard of it, but anyone who wants to read more stories about Stampede absolutely needs to read "Pain and Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling" I shill for this book a lot, but it's one of my favourites. Edit: I was also a 3 Count fan, especially when they got Tank Abbott and his square.

Memento1979 posted:Wait, what the gently caress is up with that ring? 6 sided ring, traditionally used in lucha trios matches. That was the one thing that I fell in love with TNA for. Then Hulk Hogan took it away. I will never forgive him for that. One thing Hogan gets a pass for, IMO, is The Nasty Boys. they're awful human beings but they put on some really entertaining garbage matches.

 The WCW 'hardcore' matches weren't really hardcore matches they were more comedy matches with lots of plunder. They weren't trying to maim or hurt the other guy, just hit them with as much stuff in the allotted time. We should really have a PYF plunder match thread because those are magical beasts.
