PRO wrestling thread

I went to see WCW when they toured the UK in...1999? 2000? It was hideously bad by then. WWE a few times...lots and lots of big indie shows where the promoter would get a former WWE or WCW name to headline...then when I was in Arkansas for a family funeral, I saw a sign for a wrestling show and got to see Doink and Harley Race (although Race didn't wrestle).

I saw NOAH when they toured the UK as well, so got to see Misawa and Kobashi, two of the best wrestlers of all time; Bryan Danielson was on the show too and was fantastic.

My dad took me to the old Kiel several times in the mid to late 80s for WWF.

I saw:
Hulk Hogan
George The Animal Steele
Honky Tonk Man
Junkyard Dog
King Kong Bundy
Macho Man Randy Savage
Jake the Snake Roberts
Ricky The Dragon Steamboat

Just to name a few. It was awesome.

If anyone remembers Hugh Morrus from WCW, he's in some pretty deep stuff now.

thats a bummer...i always thought demott was well respected/regarded, etc

Enough people are coming out of the woodwork with stories now that he's done, probably for good. Billion-dollar companies can't afford guys like him in major roles.

Lucha superstar Perro Aguayo Jr died in the ring. Just a catalogue of awful moves and idiocy.

A guy made a video which has made me more interested in watching wrestling again than any WWE event in years has:

Glad to see Reigns didn't leave Wrestlemania with the title. Rollins is much better suited to hold it at this point.

I watched all of Wrestlemania. Pre show included. The Rock/Ronda Rousey part was the highlight of the evening. Some other good points and some predictable parts with a pretty predictable lame ending...
