"PROFESSIONAL" WRESTLING

Post by The_Dude »

I happened to flip past WWE Raw last night and saw highlights of last week's episode and Ric Flair's retirement speech, etc. They brought out a bunch of old school wrestlers that I remember from my childhood and it had me thinking about some of my favorite wrestlers that I used to enjoy watching as a kid.

The Four Horsemen (Ole/Arn Anderson, Flair, Barry Windham, Tully Blanchard, etc.)

Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat

Hillbilly Jim

"Superfly" Jimmy Snuka

Demolition

The Road Warriors

Rock 'N Roll Express

Midnight Express

The Fabulous Freebirds

Ronnie/Jimmy Garvin

The Great Muta

Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake

The Von Erich's

"The Gentleman" Chris Adams

"Ravishing" Rick Rude

"Flyin" Brian Pillman

I could go on and on. Name YOUR favorites from the past (or hell, even now if you still watch it.).

Wasn't there a pro wrestling cartoon on Saturday mornings? I remember Hulk and JYD were in it. Anybody else know what I'm talking about?

demolition was a favorite of mine.

Rock N Wrestling was the sh*t.

There needs to be more cartoons like that.

Seriously, have none of you heard of Wikipedia? Granted it's not necessarily the most accurate of sources, but for pro wrestlers, it's close enough. :wink:
