Wrestling Promo of the Day

Oh my God! It's the Karl Gotch of wrestling sections, step inside to catch all the latest on everything else from the defunct to Terry Funk, Dusty Rhodes to Rip Rogers, the Nature Boy to the Natural Born Thrillers to the National Treasure. Vince Russo says, bro, this is the place to be, bro.

I wished we'd see more after match promos. I get guys are tired and stuff, but it would add more emotion and not feel so scripted and set up, especially WWE.

Oh I know PB, that is one of the so many things that is missing in today's wrestling, so many things :roll:

That's funny you posted Macho's proposal to Elizabeth, that would bring the Match made in Heaven at WWF SummerSlam 91, so cool :) Back to that in a minute.

Here's Ric Flair, The Giant & Jimmy Hart at Clash of the Champions 32 on January 23rd, 96.



Now back to before, I say it's a funny as in weird because My next clip I had in mind with no promo from the same event above would have the return of Miss Elizabeth with the Mega Powers and which this also brought back Woman as well which if you ever wanted to see Woman as a deceiving face with Hogan, this is it ;)

Agreed. You get those a lot more in indie shows and in Japanese events. A lot of the old territories material that I've watched to catch up on the older wrestling had post match promos. Really makes it feel more like a legit sport, too.

Baron Von Raschke was really good, he was so unusual yet intimating.

Ric Flair, The Giant & Jimmy Hart take over the Nitro Commentators table talking about SuperBrawl 96 :o

I've always hated Flair's hair cut like that.

That was a really good Lance Storm promo. Too bad the PG era happen, they could have done that with Randy Orton :roll:

Here's this sweet Hogan WCW Nitro Promo/Commercial :)



As a bonus here's The Yetti (that's how he name is spelled on the set there!) as a ninja as I said about before :shock:

That was some promo there :lol: :batsmh: :wwshock: :smsmh: Oh yes, that was something else when ECW was on TNN. Things were changing even then when networks were going a different route...by this time TNN really turned away from their great country stuff that made them what they were by getting wrestling into on the channel. Now that's wasn't a bad decision mind you however don't quote Me here but I believe it started the trend with MTV and so on :roll: Now the strange thing is WWE would end ECW and they would be on TNN till it was over....around the same time a weird thing happen with the video games, Acclaim made the WWF games for years, THQ who was making WCW video games then took advantage of their contract expiring and jumped in to make WWF games right when Acclaim's partnership with the WWF ended...this TNN & USA and Acclaim & THQ deal back then has always been one I found just a little odd :shock:

OK, I couldn't find what I was looking for but no biggie, in the mean time here's this when Mr. Wonderful found himself thanks to Gary Spivey :o Oh I thought that this was so funny back then in 1995, such a good time :)



Now as you heard Gary Spivey say he's "Mr Wonderful" and he knows it too...well here's his BONUS theme, My Grandpa just just loved this :)

I was a big Mr. Wonderful fan as a kid. I had his thumb wrestler.
