DA Baracus Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Was thinking earlier that Edge's return overall has been a bit shit. Felt like they've not used him well for the most part (a handful of matches aside). Now that he's talking about retirement, his return has been a bit of a waste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to be building towards him winning the belt he never lost, a title win, run then retirement would have been great. Again WWE ignoring the fact that the obvious and predictable option isn't always the worst 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I learned earlier that Solo Sikoa's real name is in honour of his cousin who was about to main event Mania a couple of weeks after he was born. His legit name is Joseph Yokozuna Fatu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old Mr Fugi too and that camera guy at King of the Ring that got Hogan to f**k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Whilst Yokozuna wasn't actually a sumo wrestler (or Japanese; his real name was Rodney!), Earthquake legitimately was (a sumo wrestler that is; he too wasn't Japanese, he was Canadian). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also was curtailed in sumo and had a definite glass ceiling by virtue of his tattoos which in 80s Japan, was a taboo as they were linked so heavily to Yakuza. Earthquake was an absolute athlete of a man, even in the late 80s when he debuted. There's not many lads of his size who could zip around the way he did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 There's Superstar Billy Graham away at 79. Guy was a definite pioneer for what wrestling would become in the 80s and 90s and doesn't get nearly as much credit as he's due for evolving the showy side of the business. The fact that Hogan more or less lifted his gimmick and made it the biggest thing wrestling had ever seen until that point says a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 His you shoot interviews are brilliant. Green medicine etc. Longest line snorted, and the one when the interviewer shows him doing a camel clutch with a hard on. Check them out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
