I wonder if Vader got different gear for when he filmed those "Boy Meets World" episodes,

Vader was obviously a big dude and worked snug but was he ever regarded in the same breath as folks like Meng or Regal?

Wasn't Paul Orndoff in insanely amazing shape? I could see him beating up even a guy like Vader.

Vader shoulder checked Orndoff in the showers when he walked by, Orndoff decked him and from all accounts would’ve stomped him into the hospital but as was said, he was wearing flip flops

forkboy84 posted:I think he showered, it was just that he never washed his gear. Which isn't much better Animal-Mother posted:Stevie Ray claimed on his podcast that the chains were his idea and they were supposed to be broken, representing freedom and strength. They apparently didn't ever come out with the chains, but they did make an entrance with Colonel Rob Parker, but it was an accident. There was a miscommunication and he followed them out even though that wasn't the plan. Stevie says this story has been all twisted up over the years. His podcast is very entertaining.

I know a wrestler who was the worst at washing gear, so they ended up getting popular enough that they constantly had new gear made and would change when it started to smell Like that rapper who would buy underwear to wear once

I believe Orndorff was a badass. There's just something to that generation of carnie champions like Orndorff and Harley Race where it was just a given that if you hosed with them they would casually obliterate you. I wonder how much of it came from being trained by guys who would hurt you while in training before you got smartened up

Probably a lot. If only in the that that a lot of the people who weren't like that wouldn't put up with it and would bail.

In wrestling it seems like you have a lot of physically capable dudes but what sets them apart in a fight is who hesitates in a conflict. Vader was a super tough guy but he probably wasn't ready for Orndorff to casually gently caress him up over that shoulder bump.

Yeah, considering Vader legitimately cried after winning the Champion Carnival because he felt so appreciative that a company had given him his confidence back and who also started crying backstage after he broke that guy’s back or neck on a powerbomb (and his pinfall on him was the ref improvising as Vader was like “oh gently caress, oh god, you okay man?” and checking on him), the guy who when they showed the contract signing for the Inoki Final Countdown match they had at the Dome was almost hilariously respectful and deferent to a guy he was going to German so hard it made the loving Inoki memorial video almost thirty years later, and because Mick calls him a big teddy bear in his book, I have zero issues believing he would have trepidation and end up eating a punch and losing a fight in a situation like that. Meanwhile Orndorff is coming from a period in time where people are being offered six figures to try to shoot on people and break legs and end careers and poo poo, so he’s gonna be more hair-trigger on that sort of stuff.

Granted I did wrestle in Dickies shorts and a cut up orange shirt. You could feel the mood in the room change when I brought out my knee and elbow pads, they stunk the worst.

The Flair v Funk match was good and the ending was good too. I think there is a clash or 2 before starrcade. Is 1990 when stuff starts going off the rails?
