Pro Wrestling board

[leifdawg]

I thought I would post here to guage interest before asking Vin directly. Would anyone else be interested in adding a board for discussion on pro wrestling?

Well I dont know so much if I would post on a board, but Id enjoy reading everyone else's posts, I dont know much about pro wrestling, but it would be nice to learn.

What the hell is there to learn about pro wrestling?

 

[leifdawg]

There are so many crazy things about wrestling that even most fans don't know about. Over the last few months I've been edging myself into the IWC (Internet Wrestling Crowd) and have been learning a lot.

Thats funny Bruno was my fav growing up, I just couldnt understand how that little man did what he did. Like body slamming Haystack Calhoun hes like 5-6 5-7 it was unreal, and thats what really made me think it was real, along with meeting a bloody Gorilla Monsoon at Cowtown one day during some matches........lol

I'm pretty anti-cena, but that dude is damn strong. At like 236 he can FU the Big Show (around 500lbs).

For trivia purposes: What show did John Cena make an appearance on as an extra before wrestling?

 

[sfphillyfan]

I'm gonna sound really old but my favorite growing up were:

Quick Draw Rick McGraw
The Samoans
the indians with the sleeper hold
Mr. America? Tony Atlas?

hard to remember sometimes.

Jimmy "Super Fly" Snooka

George "The Animal" Steel

Entertaining in their day - in the right state of mind. Granted not as old as Bruno (mid 70's?) but they go back a little.

But to address the question - I'm not interested a wrestling forum -unless it's real -Greco or Freestyle

I gotta get reesecal over here, he'll support the cause
