The Classic Wrestling Thread

Wrestling in the 80s was worse for your looks than being a crack ho.

Doesn't help that those two were taking stupid bumps and working a hellacious pace for girls of their size - many workers today of either sex couldn't have done what they did. Judy Martin is an honest to god superworker.

So add Bob Backlund to the list of wrestlers who for whatever reason thrived in steel cage matches. Dude has like six or seven cage matches on youtube and they're all great, easily *** to **** if not more.

I don't even know what to say after seeing the Baby New Year thing. Every thing about that was bizarre.

Hulk's got the old coke eyes.

He signed on the dotted line and snorted one too.

I remember this promo as a kid. It was on Superstars.

[Ocelot]

At least he just slammed him through the center of the Earth and not through the earth and out the other side and out into the solar system to the point that he died 24 hours later like he did to Andre at Wrestlemania 3!

((loll that will never get old))

[Dr. Zoidberg]

5 star deaths.

[Bandit]

lol wrestling is killed today by ratings in 1983 when 90 million less people had cable.

I can watch wrestling programs from the seventies and eighties and be just as compelled as if they were live in 2020. I can't watch five minutes of Raw without cringing and being embarassed.
