I'll never forget a house show I went to when I was about 7. It was Sting vs Rick Rude, and Sting chased after Rick Rude up the turn buckle. Sting tried to pull Rick Rude down and ended up pulling his pants down instead. The whole arena saw Rick's bare naked ass. I was so embarrassed for him Imagine being a 7 yr. old girl with her dad and brother seeing a man's naked ass.

You should see the Spring Stampede '94 match when Sting pulled his pants down. The women in the crowd went NUTS

AnckSuNamun said:

It's not the first time this has happen to Rick Rude. He even had his wrestling tights accidently pull down by The Ultimate Warrior in Wrestlemania V. And everyone on PPV thought it was funny!

Just found out that Ernie Ladd passed away

I've been watching episodes of Nitro from 1995-97 on YouTube. Damn I miss WCW

now THATS excitement.....

I saw that bullshit. God bless Vince McMahon, he always knows what the fans want!

bboy87 said:

Women used to be crazy about Sting. My two aunts were at the time. I died laughing at one of their reactions when Sting turned into The Crow character. She couldn't believe it was him. I guess she was still expecting the buff California blond.

bboy87 said:

Its a shame how bad the "wrestling" is now....I mean, I know that its choreographed and what not.....I've known since way back that its not real, but at least the timing was better and it didn't look so fake....I was watching a delayed broadcast of Monday Night RAW this afternoon and there was a tag match between the champs (Cena and Michaels) and "The World's Greatest Tag Team" (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas)....long story short, they missed so many cues and moves that it wasn't pretty at all....at one point, Haas went to ram his shoulder into Cena who was in the corner up against the turnbuckles...I swear that Cena jumped as high as the bottom rope before Haas made contact....then he tried his best to act like it was the hardest shot he ever took....it just seems like these guys don't even take the time to master their craft anymore....I mean, they do try to sell it as "sports ENTERTAINMENT"...to shouldn't they be the best entertainers for the money?

reneGade20 said:

Ernie Ladd was one of the best heel wrestlers ever. A Mid-South Legend!

Rest In Peace Big Cat!

reneGade20 said:

Speaking of proper tag-team wrestling, I miss The Rock & Roll Express!

TonyVanDam said:

My fave tag team of all time was Dirty Dick Murdoch and JYD during the Mid South days....always in great matches against the Freebirds.....

its a trip remembering them wrestling at the Municipal Auditorium or in the Superdome Extravaganzas.....great times....

reneGade20 said:

Did you see it when they had "The Rock" on the Jumbotron? He said that Uumaga in Samoan language means Shriveled Up Monkey Penis. My 10 year old fell on the floor laughing.

ThePunisher said:

THAT was funny as hell....The Rock is still a hell of a showman...and I still love DX....HHH and Shawn Michaels are a riot when they are talking mad shit to and about the other wrestlers.....

reneGade20 said:

Dick Murdoch & The Junkyard Dog were THE most underrated tag-team of all-time. Their matches against Ernie Ladd & Bad Leroy Brown were freaking crazy!

TonyVanDam said:

Co Sign.... I used to love hearing Big Cat do the hype up interviews.....thats why I miss the showmen....the guys who took being a heel to an artform.....

I'm watching ECW right now.

Vince McMahon castrated the brand.

ECW has always been shit. People just thought it was exciting because they were kinda "underground"....IMHO of course. Now I'm not saying ECW hasn't changed, but IMO it has never been any good.

eikonoklastes said:

I never really saw the original ECW, but I think that it was edgier because of the crazy sh*t that the wrestlers did on there.

eikonoklastes said:

Rob Van Dam was (and still is, IMO) The original ECW!

PurpleJedi said:

The original ECW used to have the most controversial storylines during the 90's. THIS was the first ever wrestling organization with no rules whatsoever.

PurpleJedi said:

I remember when ECW was ECW. It was great because they gave guys a chance that wouldn't usually get a chance. When Steve Austin was fired from WCW, Heyman gave him a chance to say what he felt. How Hogan, Dusty Rhodes, and Eric Bischoff screwed him, promised him a fued with Flair for the World Title then changed their minds, making him the US champion then making him lose to HACKSAW FREAKING JIM DUGGAN in 10 seconds. His shoot on the whole incident back in 1996 was one of the best I've seen.

bboy87 said:

Unfortunately I missed out on all the old ECW stuff.

True dat!

Fixed your post.
