MMA people, I hope all y'all know about Andre the Giant, one of the greatest men who ever lived.

Here's Andre with Dwayne Johnson, AKA some kid who'd go on to be the most electrifying man in sports and entertainment.



Young Randy Orton and Andre share a laugh, because both know that Andre can't be RKO'ed.

MMA people, I will give you 10 guesses what the character in the bandages' name was. You will not get it right.

Edit: Oh yeah, here's Robocop making an official appearance in WCW, by the way.

THE YETAY unfair since I am a MMA and wrestle person.

I still can't figure out the thought processes that WCW went through to come up with that name.

Yeah, but that's instinctual fear. Fire, loud noises, Hulkamania running wild on you brother.

That was back in the 80s, I think it is safe to assume that Hulkamania has died by no-

The very brief interaction between Jake and Orton during Orton's feud with Undertaker was pretty amazing, and that's when Jake was still completely hosed up.

If they actually painted this then that is pretty impressive, but it looks like they just applied a couple of photoshop filters to a photograph.



And if this is going off-topic, then here is one of my favorite WWE images of all time:

Karmine posted:

I feel like I remember that but I don't remember the context.

Miz and Truth had been fired but kept showing up and loving with the shows, including a PPV where they locked themselves into a cage and put a beating on the wrestlers in there, then placidly gave themselves up to the police so they were able to walk safely out of the arena while the entire roster were left standing fuming.

On one of these instances (maybe even when they were first fired?), the roster got their hands on them and hauled them out of the arena at a livid Triple H's instruction, and that photo came out of the fracas.



Now WHAT is the context of THIS image?

I've always kind of looked at that image as:

HBK: A guy who accepted his time had passed, but had hoped his friend could accomplish what he couldn't.
HHH: A guy who has just learned that his time has passed, and finally accepted that he wasn't the most resilient of his "generation"
Undertaker: A monolith who continues to weather all tests of time and perseverance despite all logic and reason saying his time MUST have passed by now.

Is it just me or does it look like her head isn't attached to her body at all?



quote:

Meet Titusville, PA Police Officer Aaron Madden. Madden moonlights as a professional wrestler, and agreed to model for a poster benefiting a United Way campaign. The townsfolk do not approve. A northwestern Pennsylvania police officer who moonlights as a professional wrestler is losing his head in a case of poster vandalism. No, Titusville Officer Aaron Madden isn’t terribly upset — even though his head has been torn off a life-size poster of him posing as his rasslin’ alter ego, Luscious Rocky Reynolds. Madden posed for the picture as part of a local United Way campaign. His head has been torn off three times in the several weeks since it’s been posted on the side of a building in Titusville, about 80 miles north of Pittsburgh.

Madden said he is looking forward to hitting the vandal over the head with a chair.
