I remember when that shit was new. I remember when wrestling was fun and truly entertaining.
Listening to Junkyard Dog 'Grab Them Cakes' right now.clevohardcore - 3-24-2008 at 10:51 AM
Ya those were the days. Between tht video/song and the Chicago Bears 'shufflin crew" video/song they put a smile on the old face.CR83 - 3-24-2008 at 10:54 AM
This is funny to see again. It also proves why the NWA was SOOOOO much better then WWF at that time. I would think this was around 85 or so. I was
10. I saw this video and wondered how all of those dudes could be in the same place when they hated each other so much. I lost interest in that
product right away.DAK - 3-24-2008 at 01:13 PM
We had great wrestling down here when I was young. Houston Wrestling was on TV for 30 years.
Paul Boesch ran the the promotion. A lot of superstars before the WWF. Jim Dugan, Junk Yard Dog, Kamala, Ted Dibiase, Rock N Roll Express, Midnight
Express, Butch Reed, Hercules, Sheep Herders, Dr. Death Steve Williams, Terry Taylor, Fantastics, and many more.sippers - 3-24-2008 at 02:04 PM

Those were the days every Sat night and Sun morning on ch 39..it was all about Mr Wrestling 2 and when Junkyard Dog came back as
Stagger Lee and Kamala was trying to take off his mask...gavin - 3-24-2008 at 02:06 PM

I had that record when I was a kid. I still love wrestling. It's in the shitter right now when it comes to WWE and TNA, but there's still good
wrestling in ROH and in Japan. I miss the glory days of Stampede Wrestling, NWA, AWA, WCCW, UWF, and WWF. I also miss ECW with a passion.DAK - 3-24-2008 at 02:36 PM
Mid South and UWF. And NWA was on Superstation TBS.CR83 - 3-24-2008 at 03:19 PM
When I think of Texas wrestling I think of the Von Erichs (reluctantly) but I also think about The Freebirds, One Man Gang and Ice Man King Parsons.
Ice Man was NWA champ and his nephew went to my high school. Ice Man is from STL. His nephew, Marlow Parsons, won state in his weight class in
wretling. He showed me a picture of himself with the NWA belt. Very cool guy and a true bad ass.gavin - 3-24-2008 at 03:35 PM
speaking of such..........gary hart just died
he is/was my all time fav. manager
rip garyDAK - 3-24-2008 at 04:05 PM
The Von Erichs and all those guys wrestled in Dallas for World Class Championship Wrestling.DAK - 3-24-2008 at 04:07 PM
Gary hart used to manage In Dallas, he was great heal manager. WCCW had some great wreslers Jake the Snake, Cactus Jack, Chris Adams, Iceman King
parsons, Von Erichs, Freebirds, etc.gavin - 3-24-2008 at 05:18 PM
gary managed some of my all time favs
abby, great kabuki, great muta, terry funk later on
in my opinion he was the best heel manager ever
he seemed so "real"
he pulled it off really well
not too over the top
he seemed really "mean and evil" which ruledDiscipline - 3-24-2008 at 05:24 PM
My favorite manager of all time is Bobby Heenan, followed by Jim Cornette. Those two guys were always great. Gary Hart was definitely one of the
greats. There were great interviews with him on the first WCCW dvd that was made a few years before the WWE version. If I remember it was called
"Heroes of WCCW." For me, the highlight of WCCW was the Freebirds. Such an amazing an original combination. Terry Gordy was fucking badass. He was
amazing in his Japanese runs, especially when he was teaming with Dr. Death.gavin - 3-24-2008 at 05:30 PM

Couldn't agree more. Another one I'd include is:

I was never a huge fan of Abby, but Brody was the fucking man.
I know very little about wrestling associations with the exception of, WWF/WWE, WCW & ECW. I was into it when the AWA and NWA were around, I just
never saw it on tv or anything. I know most of the wrestlers you guys are talking about, but I guess I missed them when they were 'at their best'.Discipline - 3-24-2008 at 05:48 PM
damn seeing that first one really takes me back to when i was a kid watching it on saturday mornings.
i wasnt allowed to watch it for a while after my dad caught me trying to put my little brother in a figure 4 leg lock.
i think he kicked me for that one....DAK - 3-24-2008 at 07:41 PM
ESPN Classics channel is showing AWA shows. It comes on at midnight central time. Scott Hall has been on there with his porn stache. Kurt Henning,
King Kong Brody, And the Midnight Rockers. I have been DVRing it every week night. Before the AWA they were airing A different UWF promotion that I
never seen before. Check it out. Direct TV channel 208.WINTHESKIN - 3-24-2008 at 08:02 PM

That was Herb Abrams (sp?) UWF that he ran in the early 90's. Mick Foley talked about in his first book as he spent a bit of time there along with a
number of big names. I wish I had ESPN Classic just for the wrestling they've been playing.XHonusWagnerX - 3-24-2008 at 09:20 PM
