Bublu Bhuyan Posted May 1, 2010 Author Posted May 1, 2010 BTW, I recently read Bret Hart's autobiography, "My Real Life In The Cartoon World Of Wrestling". What a fantastic book it is. Once I started, I couldn't keep it. I have also read the book written by Owen Hart's wife, Martha Hart titled "The Life and Death of Owen Hart". I loved it, but didn't really appreciate the way Martha portrayed wrestlers. It seems like she holds them in extremely low regards, almost like sub-par humans. She hates the wrestling business, even before her husband died. These days I'm reading Eddie Guerrero's biography, "Cheating Death, Stealing Life". RIP Eddie, I will never stop missing and loving you.
Sachinism Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 UFC > WWE It was good back in the day when you had Hogan Ultimate Warrior Ric Flair Undertaker (with Paul Bearer) The Rockers Demolition Men Akeem + Boss Man Hart Foundation Legion of Doom Brutus the barber Macho Man Zues Million Dollar Man Dusty Rhodes :adore: Rick Rude Rick the model Martel Texas Tornado Jim Duggan Roddy Piper Jake the Snake Bushwhackers Superfly Jimmy Snuka Natural Disasters Razor Ramon 123 Kid Tatanka
Bublu Bhuyan Posted May 1, 2010 Author Posted May 1, 2010 +1 WWE is just lame. Ultimately it's about the performers, irrespective of which promotion they work for. But the WWE has gone really downhill since the departure of Brock Lesnar. And now with Eddie's passing, Angle leaving and Shawn Michaels retiring, it has gone from bad to worse. The real taste for the fans was when WCW went head to head with the then WWF. It was ratings war every week, and both the promotions had to come up with original and exciting stuff to compete with the other. Now with TNA nowhere near WWE in terms of competition, it's practically Vince's monopoly.
Bublu Bhuyan Posted May 2, 2010 Author Posted May 2, 2010 undertaker has been my all time fav He made his fame primarily on his gimmick. He really started to flourish in his ring work since the last decade.
Desi Cartman Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 i still sometimes watch it on Sat- Sun noons when I there is nothing else on TV. :eyedance:
Bublu Bhuyan Posted May 2, 2010 Author Posted May 2, 2010 Here's my first hero in pro-wrestling. He is the one I looked up to a a kid - http://www.barrelhousemag.com/word/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hart.jpg
Bublu Bhuyan Posted May 2, 2010 Author Posted May 2, 2010 On another note, the WWE are releasing another ttwo DVD sets - 1. Undertaker's Most Dangerous Matches (3 disc set) 2. Ricky Steamboat - The Life Of The Dragon (3 disc set) Can't wait to get my hands on the Steamboat DVD. He's one of the greatest workers to have ever lived.
Holysmoke Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 I have bret hart's original sunglasses. He'd given it to my cousin once.. (he used to give it to a fan everytime he came to the ring. ) and I got them from my cousin when he stopped following wrestling. No, I'm not gonna sell em.

Ricky Steamboat reminds me of this Video of Iron Sheikh:giggle: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1uf1MrGDH8]YouTube- Iron Sheik : Ricky Steamboat Kiss My Arse & Honky On Benoit[/ame]
mhr123 Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 I am surprised no one mentioned Goldberg... he was one of the most powerful man i have ever seen... the way he used to lift his opponents similar to the military press was simply awesome... he had some brute power.

He wasnt a good wrestler , he came in to make a quick buck.
Bublu Bhuyan Posted May 2, 2010 Author Posted May 2, 2010 I am surprised no one mentioned Goldberg... he was one of the most powerful man i have ever seen... the way he used to lift his opponents similar to the military press was simply awesome... he had some brute power. He was easily the worst wrestler to have ever stepped inside a wrestling ring. The primary rule in wrestling is to protect your opponent from injuries. Goldberg had the tendency of injuring every opponent he worked with. Having brute strength isn't any sort of wrestling skill. Most of the Internet Smarks can't stand him. And that's because of his ego. WCW made him into the star that he became and then he returned the favor to WCW by refusing to work. Never did he changed his style or put in any effort to improve his skills in the ring. Read these article of some of the fans - http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/columns/braddykens/goldbergslegacy.html http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/columns/braddykens/goldbergslegacy.html http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/columns/chambers/03.html http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/columns/wwe/goldbergproblems.html http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/columns/misc/joel13.html http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/columns/misc/joel10.html
Serani Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 I used to watch when I was a simple minded kid but now I an intelligent adult obviously I do not watch "wrestling"
Bublu Bhuyan Posted May 2, 2010 Author Posted May 2, 2010 Anyone seen Iron Sheik on Howard Stern :hysterical: Not really. What happened? BTW, I'm well aware of his hilarious incidents that keeps happening every now and then.
bhanu Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 LMLTAO @ WRESTLING that fake as toy wrestling all scripted can't believe u guys watch dat :hahaha:
Clarke Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Was a fan of HHH when i used to follow it, the fake dhamkis he gave on the mic were fun to watch. How does he still carry his huge frame and do the **** day in and day out ?
Bublu Bhuyan Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 LMLTAO @ WRESTLING that fake as toy wrestling all scripted can't believe u guys watch dat :hahaha: Apparently there are millions of fans who knows what you said. Knowing the business inside out, the reality, that's what makes you an ever bigger fan. The Internet Wrestling Community is huge who knows the business just as well the wrestlers themselves do. A lot of people struggle with the same thing - how do you enjoy a sport that's fake? Only the 'smarks' know the answer, and it's something you can't explain.
