Being a fan of the puroresu (Japanese bastardization of "pro wrestling") scene, I happen to know how to spell that name.

Jushin Thunder Liger

It's kinda funny, some of the independent local feds in Japan are VERY, VERY sleazy.

There's a guy in one of the bigger independent feds, who plays an angry, pushy homosexual character. His finishing manuver (I shit you not), is a modified piledriver, where he stuff the opponents head DOWN HIS TRUNKS before the piledriver.

But if you ever want to see a series of great matches, look for matches between Wild Pegasus (a pre-WCW/WWE Chris Benoit) and Liger :)

Is that in reference to a graphic that seemed to be here and then wasn't?

(I believe that's Scotsman's substitution for a big red "X" -- he's a bit of a ... character)

[Suicane75]

Yeah, i think when a picture is linked from his site it changes to that. Not my intention to have that show up here, I should of thought about what I was doing. :(

[sabotai]

I was wondering what the connection was between what was quote and what graphic was being shown. :)

Ricky The Steamboat Dragon?

[JeffNights]

Ok. this thread has lost all points.

Obscure people...obscure!

[Dawgfan1980]

I say, there have a been a few obscure ones, but I still think George South is the best (I'm biased, choosing him of course). Many might not remember him, but I remember a match he had against Ric Flair on TBS's old Saturday Night Wrestling (with Dave Crockett and Tony Schavonie) and he wrestled Ric for about 30 minutes, if I remember correctly, his chest was beat red from the Flair (In his prime) chops, and finally succumbed to the Figure Four. Poor George, he was so close!

Chick DonovanYou are the would-be wind beneath my wings. However, he pumped himself up and came back as "Golden Boy" Donovan, actually winning some matches.

[Ben E Lou]

Ummmm....did no one say Charlie Fulton?????? :(

[JonInMiddleGA]

However, he pumped himself up ...

Complete with little bandannas tied around his suddenly massive biceps :)

I swear, I don't believe I've ever seen anyone who was so obviously on the juice live as long as he has. Last time I saw him, he looked like Scott Steiner's grandpa or something.

[rkmsuf]

Johnny Meat Hooks

[HornedFrog Purple]

For shame... no one mentioned Buzz Sawyer.

Don't forget Rodzilla too. (Dennis Rodman wrestled two matches if I remember right)

[VPI97]

Johnny Polo

[JonInMiddleGA]

For shame... no one mentioned Buzz Sawyer.


Only because I don't really consider him "obscure".

His "cousin" Smart Bart Sawyer however ...

Agreed. Buzz wouldn't be obscure in my book either.

Rad Radford.... one of my favorites..... Louie Spicolli (RIP) had one of my favorite runs in ECW......

[JonInMiddleGA]

My Favorite contriubution so far: "MVP"

The sad part about that character was/is that Dale Torborg really wasn't a half-bad wrestler. He also had the misfortune of being cast as The KISS Demon.

And yeah, in case anybody wondered, he is indeed the son of former MLB manager Jeff Torborg, and was the Marlins strength & conditioning coach until his dad was fired.
http://espn.go.com/mlb/news/2003/0511/1552112.html

[TLK]

wasn't the original MVP... Steve Lombardi? from about 94'....

[JonInMiddleGA]

wans't the original MVP... Steve Lombardi? from about 94'....

I believe you may be right about that. My mind just immediately flashed to poor Torborg, saddled with a pair of bad gimmicks in roughly a year.
