General Wrestling Thread

Bumping the thread here but last night Bobby Heenan unfortunately passed , aged 73, been ill a long time , great manger when i started watching WWF and the commentator, greatest compliment for him was when he was commentating you didn't have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy his humour, RIP Bobby.

I was watching wrestling in my hotel room the other day. I couldn't turn it off, I was fascinated. It's so terrible that it's funny. And seeing grown American blokes in the crowd whooping etc is so cringy but surreal. There was one move where the wrestler does a somersault off the ropes purposes landing on his back but the back of his head lands on his opponents stomach, yet this was a signature finishing move that is meant to hurt the opponent more. It's so shit.

The Greatest is used for a lot of things these days, but Bobby Heenan genuinely was the greatest heel performer/manager & co commentator of all time.

If you are wanting reminisce following this news, then may I point you in the direction of the following

His Hall of Fame Induction (Couldn't find the whole speech, which is brilliant)



Royal Rumble 1992



Wrestlemania 17 - Gimmick Battle Royal



Wrestlemania 9 - His entry on a camal



Golf Lessons

 
the bi-annual dusting off of this thread for 2 nights a year. Will be watching this tomorrow night after work so will have to avoid this thread. Shows how old I'm getting.

Was reading some earlier posts in the thread. Bloody hell, pudge hated Bryan and was a dick about it.

I'm going to struggle to stay awake but I'll give it a go.

I think most people barely read my posts once, let alone twice!

"oh God, it's this guy again, scroll down quickly till we find a gif".
 
Nakamura was the right result but putting the Men's Rumble on first was dumb as shit. Have a feeling it's because of Rousey or something but still, nonsense.

Oh it's Pidge Jnr. I didn't even know you were still here.

I can't really be arsed with you in this thread this year so feel free to give it a miss.

It really shows how not arsed you are, what with bringing me up in discussion.

Who the fuck is Pidge?
