I still greatly prefer Bam Bam's ringwork to the other two, but Vader was absolutely the biggest draw in this conversation.

My first live wrestling show was a WCW house show in Winston Salem, NC. The main event was Ric and David Flair and someone else against three nWo B-team scrubs. A few women in attendance flashed Ric, who got one of the most enthusiastic crowd reactions I have ever heard in person.

Oof, this article never gets easier to read. I think my picks are Raven, the reasons for which could also be expanded to most of ECW's classic roster, and Randy Savage, who by all accounts was a paranoid, abusive freak. Well, and Necro Butcher since he's apparently a Trump guy now.

El Gallinero Gros posted:There was some extremely gross stuff about Raven in the sleaze thread in DVDVR. I take much, almost all, of the stuff on the list with a grain of salt, but unfortunately when people, especially women, claim that wrestlers were lovely to them, I tend to think it's true. And the stuff about Raven on that list is loving hideous. Yeah, that. Also the numerous occasions where Raven, high out of his mind, would pull his dick out in clubs and present it to random women on the dance floor. Jericho and I think Konnan have stories about that.

This is an odd one, but Jim Cornette's promo after his Midnight Express was attacked by Heyman's version is awesome. He gets a very genuine TV studio pop for finally telling his mother that it's about time he started fighting his own battles and it rules. Kevin von Erich getting an insane pop from a live Raw crowd and JR for putting the Claw on Rob Conway, of all people, is another go-to for me.

jesus WEP posted:Idk if I saw this or jus thought it up but the coolest heel move would be interrupting a long back and forth of pinning combinations by just poking your opponent in the eyes and then doing a regular lateral press or some other lazy pin attempt Jimmy Havoc does stuff like that.

The Cameo posted:Benoit would punish himself with the Hindu squats, at least according to Jericho's story about him missing a spinning heel kick and bumping anyway and feeling like he'd hosed everything up because of that one botch and making himself do 1000 Hindu squats for it, which is what Jericho found him in the middle of, felt bad, started doing them with him, eventually gave up because holy gently caress a thousand Hindu squats The av/post combo here is fantastic. Another factor in Benoit going insane was the fact that two of his very good friends (Eddie Guerrero and Johnny Grunge) died, and he was a middle-aged guy whose career was winding down. Even without the steroids and CTE, he would have been a powder keg, though maybe not to the same degree.

forkboy84 posted:Yes, they had the Ultimate Jeopardy matches which were War Games style cage matches, there was also the cage match at Gangstas Paradise with Mikey Whipwreck, & Public Enemy vs Sandman, New Jack & Too Cold Scorpio and at Natural Born Killaz there was an Eliminators vs Gangstas steel cage match. Think the most famous though was Gangstas vs The Dudleys from Heat Wave '97 Raven and Sandman had a few cage matches too, and Raven/Richards vs. Luna/Dreamer was in a cage as well, if I recall correctly.

Possibly unpopular opinion: the Sandman owned as a character and a lot of his matches were really fun even though they weren't good in the traditional sense.

Jake Roberts slithering in under the ropes immediately let you know what his character was all about, which ruled. I also really liked Regal wiping his feet before getting into the ring.

Maxwell Lord posted:The one hardcore thing that I always wonder about is the barbed wire. Is it usually gimmicked at all? Or do you not need to worry about tetanus if it's been kept clean? Or do they just get shots afterwards? They file/cut the points down sometimes but that's it since apparently fake barbed wire hurts more than the real thing. Wrestlers are pretty dumb so who knows if most of them even think about tetanus. Randaconda posted:Just didn't think he was a big enough star, and wasn't somebody who could be brought to that level by working with him. He was 100% right and an Austin/Gunn feud would have sucked.
