I quit watching wrasslin' in 1999 because it turned to garbage, like a fucking soap opera. Everything was becoming way too predictable and and got to be pretty ridiculous. But I will always love wrasslin' from when I was a kid.

I started off watching WWF and then NWA/WCW (it was NWA when I started watching and then later became WCW. I liked NWA/WCW better because it wasn't as popular and I liked the wrestlers more and the announcers. I also used to watch WCCW every day after school at my grandma's house. I remember watching the Von Erich family, Sgt. Slaughter and a whole bunch of others in that league. I also watched AWA, which was founded by the great Verne Gagne.

Others I liked that aren't in my top ten:
Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Junk Yard Dog, Jesse Ventura, George "the Animal" Steele, Mick Foley (and all of his crazy characters), Tito Santana, Ric Flair and Andre the Giant.

Favorite theme song. Yeah I am a Hulkamaniac, so what?!?!?!

[ophion1031]

OHHH HEEEEEEEELLLLL NOOOOO!!!!!!

Haha. I never liked Hulkster. Always thought he was a fake. Which, of course, he was/is.

Ultimate Warrior defeating Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 6 for the World Heavyweight title AND Intercontinental title was my favorite match of all time. I'm trying to find a video of it on youtube. Can't find the entire match, but here is part of it...

[ophion1031]

Let me tell you somethin' brotha!!

[Rocketman]

I remember that match clearly. That was a good one. That was when wrestling was all about wrestling and not the drama. Yes I do know it's fake lol.

[ophion1031]

Those were the days! I was a huge wrasslin' fan back then. Lost interest in 1999 when it became a damn soap opera.

I go way back to wrestling 67 -68 ? the present day sport sort of got its start in St Joe MO and KC but was not much of a fan from mid eightys on
Can I get a shout out on the Macho Man Randy Savage his post interviews were killer , others I liked Sergeant Slaughter , George the Animal steel, who was the guy that took folding chair beatings to the head and Chest for real ?
From when I was a kid in the 60's watching on NBC 11pm Sat and rerund 2pm Sun they were Bob Giegel ,Bulldog Bob Brown, Handsome Harley Race ,Rick Flair
I wrestled Handsome Harley Race once.. ha ha

[ophion1031]

Oh man, who was it that took folding chair beatings? That sounds familiar. Terry Taylor maybe?

[Don Pseuym]

He wore a suit less the jacket into the ring and looked way out of shape but was big
He was very popular for a time

[ophion1031]

Hmmmm. I'm sure it will come to me eventually, but drawing a blank right now.

Mick Foley maybe?

[ophion1031]

I didn't know Dino Bravo or Doink the Clown had died...

[Don Pseuym]

Yes Mick Foley thanks
Maybe all the blood wasnt real ,but I bought it
Some one should write the movie about the pro wrestling start in st joe and K C mo it is a, great true ,funny story as I remember

[Dave Bauer]

Love this thread! Don't go messin' with a country boy a country boy a country boy.

I'm a Macho Man guy myself but I also liked the Warrior and Sting. Mick Foley and all of his different characters were cool.
