plenzmd1 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 From the 70s i do not remeber so much who I liked outside of DiNucci, but remember hating on the Love Brothers! They were the wrestling version of Paul Lynde on Hollywood squares. Fromt the 80's really liked macho Man as Ms. Elizabeth was just smokin!! LIked the Dog as someone mention(btw, i think he just recently passed. Roddy was funny, as was Honky Tonk man. Good guy who drove me nuts back then was Steamboat. All he ever did was whine. I was actually happy when Honky Tonk took his title at the Aud in about 84 or so. My firsy and only time at a rasslin show, but it was fun!

truth on hold Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Ultimate Warrior. Although they ruined the character after he dethroned Hulk by trying to show Warrior's kid loving "sensitive-side." And of course today he's a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Rowdy Roddy +1. Pipers Pit was the best. It was great when he interviewed other wrastlers. At first the conversation was civil. But Piper gradually prodded the other guy until it degenerated into a full fledged brawl. I wonder if any of those interviews are available on youtube?

Bullpen Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 i totally forgot about the "DR of Style" I kind of liked the Doctor of Style... he had that wierd lisp when he talked and he called everyone "baby." Mr. Fuji was another classic manager. I tended to like the bad guys in wrestling I guess. Saturday Night's Main Event on NBC was always a big deal as a kid.

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 My father followed wrestling back in the day and he claims he liked the name "Eric"... He liked the first "Yukon Eric"... Tells the story how he lost an ear... Gee thanks dad! My mother had no choice... My father liked Gunnar and Gunther (Gunther Gable Williams) as alternative names... One of his friends said: "I will never talk to you again if you name your kid Gunther!"... So Eric it is! See... Than explains it! WTF DAD? You had some pretty wild tastes...
