He put powder on there instead of mist. What a jabroni

Powder is better than mist because it is easily delivered by either a sports entertainment performance competitor or a manager, preferably a Sneaky Oriental.

Dick shots just aren't very awesome, I'm sorry :( The thing is, my list is based on the magnitude of totally owning somebody, and dick shots/kicks are generally very desperate looking maneuvers.

You guys have a very strong point with the rolling neck snap. That move is excellent.

Also, halloween jack has a very good point with the "handful of tights" move. This especially counts if you're already winning, and just grab the tights for fun or to give the ladies in the audience a show. Extra bonus points if the move isn't used as a pin, but instead to grasp and then yank your opponent back so you can forearm him in the kidney.

In your opinion who is the coolest person in the history of wrestling? Because right now I'm thinking it's gotta be a photo finish between Terry Funk, Roddy Piper and Bobby Heenan. What do you think?

It's Bad News Allen because he wouldn't take poo poo from racists like Roddy Piper.

A guy who challenges Andre the Giant to a fight because Andre wouldn't stop using the N word is the coolest mother fucker on the planet.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I met Terry Funk once at a show, his pen wouldn't work signing an autograph so he spent like a minute having people bring him pens, he insisted he wasn't going to let us leave until we got our drat autograph. Then took a pair of pictures with us because he didn't like how the first one came out. Coolest man alive

It just occurred to me that I am so glad they got rid of BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'s horrible reverse choke slam in exchange for the always awesome running power slam. The Running Power Slam is fourth in my list of Good Wrestling Moves

1) eye poke
2) back rake
3) Figure Four Leg Lock
4) Running Power Slam
5) Hold up legs by the feet and head butt/elbow the "stomach"
6) Atomic Drop
7) Reverse Atomic Drop
8) off the top-rope double ax handle
9) foreign object in the pants
10) unknown powder blown into face

Oh no!😱

Actually, I've spotted another problem with the list;

9) foreign object in the pants

I mean, its GOOD, but top ten? No my friend, top ten worthy would be "Ref FINDS foreign object in the trunks during prematch pat down, the heel gives a "cant blame a guy for trying" shrug and then later in the match he pulls a SECOND foreign object from his trunks/boot and uses it" If you arent a sucker for a "Those were my DECOY brass knucks!" then are you even really a wrestling fan?

List remains bullshit, all I'm saying.

I've seen spots where the wrestler moves around the foreign object while the ref checks. Hold it under his arm, put it in his trunks, step on it, hide in the turnbuckle, etc

A guy who challenges Andre the Giant to a fight because Andre wouldn't stop using the N word is the coolest mother fucker on the planet.

He's even cooler due to the aftermath, where he blew off enough steam overnight to confront Andre and talk to him about how that poo poo wasn't cool no matter how much some people "make fun of the Polish." And they eventually smoothed things over with Andre apologizing.

Then again, Bad News did take some literal poo poo from Andre, but that's a different story entirely.

You oughtta' know by now...
So my girlfriend and I work in a hospital in central Ohio. She gets home from work yesterday and asks me if I know of a wrestler with the last name Arcidi. I said, "Uh... Ted? I think Ted Arcidi is a wrestler. Or was." She says that's him. Apparently his brother is a new surgeon at our hospital.

So that leads to my questions, which is why the hell do I know the name Ted Arcidi? Were there any notable accomplishments or facts about him? Did he have a major role anywhere?

He's basically the textbook definition of Vince signing someone not because of their skill, but because of their notoriety for something else: "Bench pressed 705 lbs? Sign him! Make him a superstar!" (Fails to see if guy can actually wrestle)

In his brief run, he even got a WWF action figure.

He later turned to acting. He played Liz's doorman in episode of 30 Rock!

Patera wasn't a flop, at least, when he was a heal he wasn't. Hell, I think WWE still has his swinging full nelson "Banned"
