Ill try to get the next superstar soon because technically there should be two already but because the forum got screwed there isnt.

 

[Soulpower]

He's the Boogeyman's cousin in real life, and he made the Ultimate Warrior throw up on live tv... Too bad he sucked in the ring... Although his ho's were hot when he was Godfather.

I hope everyone enjoys the superstar of the week. Arn is truely one of the all time greats.

 

[Soulpower]

While I don't like his treatment of certain stars 9CM Punk in particular) his in ring and mic abilities can't be denied.. One of the original four-horsemen and someone you could always rely on to give you a good match, truly a legend in the wrestling business, and one of the best never to win a major title.

 

[Nation]

So this weeks superstar will be someone who was big even before Hulk Hogan.

[Mike Chaos]

Is this Superstar of the day?

 

[Nation]

No it's the beginning of a new week so i posted the superstar. Why are you suggesting i post a superstar every day?

 

[Mike Chaos]

I mean because for the past 3days there has been new wrestlers of the week, I don't know.

 

[Nation]

Well thats because i started this thread two weeks ago but then the forum got shut down. So i reposted the first superstar and a new one because it was a new week . Now it's monday which means a new week so i posted the next superstar.

 

[Soulpower]

Bruno Sammartino, I love the guy because he can't stand Vince or the WWE for that matter. One of the best (if not the best) to ever step in the ring, and a man who is always said to be a class act... Its a shame he'll never be in the WWE hall of fame, but its by his own choice.

 

[Wrestling God]

I don't think he is one of the best but he is certainly up there in the top three or 4 i'll give you that. He had a great character and was very good as an in ring competetor.

 

[Nation]

Well it's time for the next superstar. This superstar will inducted in this years hall of fame.

Ric Flair didn't appear at Sunday's Final Resolution pay-per-view because TNA Wrestling were already over his allotted dates for the year and didn't feel it was necessary that he work the event.

[AZUCAR!]

Well i'm sure he'll sign a 2 year deal or another 1 year deal with TNA.

 

[Kizza]

Oh noes not Ric Flair, he really could have taken FR to the next level.

RAISING THE BAR BROTHER.
