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.

"...that honky Mexican Tito Santana", yikes, that was a lot fo stuff I'm surprised got on the air, lol. Never did like that beach bum Muraco so he did his job well as a heel.

Yeah, Corporal Kirchner was good.

Here's another awkward one like the Muraco promo.

I loved the blue WWF background back then. Davey Boy was great and it was shame that Outback Jack was really just an enhancement talent. I thought he was like a real life or at least wrestling's Crocodile Dundee during them good'ol days.

Here's Billy Jack Haynes who was quite good as well. I loved his feud against Hercules and when he teamed with Hogan.

I always liked BIlly Jack Haynes. For some reason I can hear Lord Alfred saying his name.

Speaking of awkward, the phrasing here could be better...

Cool. Yes that was awkward but it's the way he spoke I believe and really I don't think people thought of it like that then but then who knows, I wasn't an adult then :?

I liked Magnum T.A., I thought his name was clever and thought he looked like Jake Roberts. His career ended way too soon due to that horrible car accident. You do know he's Tessa Blanchard's Stepfather right :?: Here is Tully Blanchard, Magnum married his wife :o Look at this video and see how it was with these guys decades before AEW and see the time before they were The Brainbusters..



and here is Magnum and Tully goin' at it :o

Oh yeah, he was at some of Tessa Blanchard's Impact matches.

OK!

I miss those days of WCW Nitro. That clip is from the WWE Network, I can tell cause I hear his Break the Walls Down song and NOT his cool WCW theme, he didn't have BTWD till he was in the WWE, it was due to the copyright issues.

To follow your 2 Andre the Giant entries, I love this one!

Lol, Mean Gene in that coat looks like the top kid waiting to stand on another's shoulders so they can sneak in somewhere as an adult.

Ah the late great "Iron" Mike Sharpe, the big guy who was like the loudest wrestler that never won!

Here's a triple feature of "The Brooklyn Brawler" Steve Lombardi! First is when he was part of the Heenan family in 1989 when he was actually presented as a major winner to take out his former member "The Red Rooster" Terry Taylor :o




Then he was on his own in 1990 and had been ever since, he did great promos too :batsmile:



I thought he was actually quite talented and he had other gimmicks which I'll get to those later and hopefully he'll be in the HOF or at least an honorary and "Iron" Mike Sharpe could be too soon too :)
