Long, long before I watched wrestling, Giant was my favorite wrestler in the world because I rented WCW/nWo Revenge and put him in the green biker outfit and renamed him SUPER LUIGI and dominated all the modes with him. And then my friend who did watch wrestling rented some WWF game and I asked if Giant was in it because he was the only wrestler I knew and that's how I learned about Big Show.

And if WCW did one thing so right it was Buffer's title match introductions. I love when he's doing the announcing and he's just like "THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD...HE...IS.....GIANT!". Like, yeah, not THE Giant, he's just Giant. That's what he is. Badass. :hai:

one of the best parts of peak wcw is hands down Michael buffer making up his own nicknames and accolades for wrestlers that 1) no one else ever used and 2) mostly made no sense

Running Lariats are cool and great finishers just look at Stan Hansen

yeah if someone does a great lariat I am a ok with it being a finisher, lariats rule and look vicious when they're done right. honestly I gave Bradshaw more of a pass than I should for longer than I should because the clothesline from hell ruled and the acolytes ruled

gosh dang kazuchika Okada is the best wrestler in the world and his finisher is a lariat

Is it a bad thing that I've been a wrestling fan for almost a decade now and I still can barely remember specifics when it comes to wrestling moves beyond the super basic stuff?

to be fair i mostly only know moves as a result of being a little dork who spent a lot of time in create a wrestler modes

toad is SUCH a spring break character, I have no doubt Joey could track him down

Barry Windham when he cared was one of the best to ever do it, and Barry Windham when he didn't care did not give a fuuuuuuck

yeah, Barry Windham blew my loving mind when I went back to watch old wcw, at his peak he really truly was one of the greats. problem is he kept on way way longer after that
