Where are you from (add-on)?

Re: Where are you from (add-on)?

I didn't watch much in the 80's when I was a little kid, I actually didn't start getting into wrestling until the early 90's...Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Hogan for a while, Macho Man at the end of his WWE career, the Lex Express for a year. I was a fan through the WWE's down years (never got into WCW, for some reason I just didn't really like it), I saw Henry O. Godwinn and his Slop Bucket, Luna Vachon, the ill-fated Puke gimmick, many many iffy times back then.

Ahh, you STARTED watching right around the time I stopped. I missed a lot in the early 90's. It was at that time when I stopped making it a point to watch. If I was flipping channels and saw it, I'd stop to see what was going on, but it wasn't a priority.

It wasn't until the Sting vs. Hollywood Hogan and the nWo angle back in '97 that I got back into it...and I've been hooked again ever since.

Where the "Mouth of the South", Jimmy Hart rivaled with the Heenan Foundation. Where Bret, Jim the Anvil and Brutus the Barber were a stable.

You're a little mixed up on this. Jimmy Hart's stable was the Hart Foundation, and it included Bret Hart, Jim "The Anvil", and Greg "The Hammer". Heenan's stables really never had a name that I can think of.

yeah, I somehow enjoyed WWE during the early/mid 90's...there was a lot of crap looking back on it, but I suppose it was my age (10 in 1990)...when you're a kid you don't really start thinking too much into it, you just enjoy. Now I get more enjoyment out of watching, analyzing a bit, and being a bit of a 'smarter' fan. Sometimes I wonder it might be nice to be more naive when watching wrestling.

Heenan's group was call "The Heenan Family" I think. I'm not sure about that.

Yeah it was and it consisted at one point or another:
Big John Studd
King Kong Bundy
Andre the Giant
Hercules
Paul Orndorff
The Red Rooster
The Brooklyn Brawler
The Islanders (Haku & Tama)
The Brainbusters (Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard)
Curt Hennig
Ravishing Rick Rude
King Harley Race

I guess I'm showing my age too. But I'm from an age where champions held belts for years and not weeks.

Those are some good names I wish I got to see them fight more than just the tapes I saw, but I saw a good amount. But people always talk about the glory days of wrestling and crap, and how today's is so bad. Now I mean like prior to the late 80's kinda. I have seen the tapes. Watched matches. But can someone honestly tell me watching one of their main events, then watching a filler match on Raw, that the old one was funner? I mean, besides the fact that you are watching guys like Andre and them, the moves were a occasional suplex, sidewalk slam maybe, and some elbow drops. The matches were slow-paced and alotta the guys didnt have much charisma. We have guys now like HBK, Rock, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, UNdertaker, just to name a few. Even a match like Rhyno vs Rob Conway, it has more excitement. And people say their is too much talking and all sex (at least my parents do) when the talking IS entertaining alotta the time, dependsing on the speaker, and while they shouldnt have matched like Schoolgirl matches or Bra and panties, that kinda thing isn't on that much. Listen, i love watching them old macthes for that feeling you get just watching the old-timers, but wrestling now IS better. Not as good as late 80's or mid 90's, but pretty entertaining.

Re: Where are you from (add-on)?

The King and Droopy Lip make me miss The Brain and Monsoon even more. They could make the worst match seem entertaining where these two goobers we have these days just amplify the sucktitude.
