Alk Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Man this thread is becoming a curse. Every time I see it bumped to the top I expect to find another wrestler dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alk Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 This is really bizarre. I was thinking of some old school wrestlers I liked as a kid and I thought of the Missing Link. I did a google search to see what he was up to these days. Apparently he died just last month. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewey_Robertson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Best cameo in wrestling ever... rGUJYLDgR8k Not even close. It's gotta be Mr. T. Two things I noticed that cracked me up. 1. At about the 1:45 mark, "Robocop" trips. 2. Right at the end Jim Ross' commentary is hilarious. "The Four Horsemen wanted no part of those...especially the Stinger...AND Robocop." WTF? Did one of them have a turd in their pocket too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't give a ****, he was making bank. He's one of the reasons why WCW went under. He had a huge contract, and they hardly ever used him. Turner just wanted to keep him away from WWF, and he paid alot of wrestlers for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Vince ran his character into the ground and tried to turn him into a biker. Piper is one of my faves too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Okay so last night I was surfing through the channels and hit the jackpot. On ESPN Classic they were airing AWA Championship Wrestling. I immediately ran to my Tivo and got a season pass. I'm not sure if it's on every night or what but if you're a fan of the older wrestling, this is a must.

ESPN used to do the AWA from i think about 85-88 I'm guessing. Really wish they would bring back the "Legends of World Class Championship Wrestling". That without a doubt would be tivo'ed and DVD'ed.

shawn306 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If you have directv you should check out WWE Classics at the Garden on Wednesday nights. Last night they had a card from 1980 featuring Bruno Sammartino vs Larry Zybyzko Tito Santana vs Hulk Hogan (Hogan as a heel was great) Also, if you were a fan of Mid-South Wrestling. (Hacksaw Duggan, Ted Dibiase, Dr, Death, JYD, etc) you need to check out this site. http://www.universalwrestling.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT&Store_Code=UWA They may be the last old school regional promotion that has not sold their video library to Vince.
