    I really don't want this thread to die so here I revive it with one of my favorite moments in wrestling history. Here is a classic match up between "Pretty Boy" Bobby Heenan and "Cowboy" Bob Ellis in the old WWA. Bobby was always just great and no one played the coward better than he did.

    I always enjoyed that one too and they handled the feud perfectly. Kerry got his win and his story, and Flair, as always, came out undamaged due to putting on such an excellent match. I was never really a Kerry fan, so I was happy Ric got the belt back quickly. But even so, I wasn't upset...

    Watching Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper at Wrestlemania VIII. Back then, Piper was the only wrestler that could compete with Ric Flair as best in my mind. Weird looking back on it, though. I know a lot of people look at the early 90s as being a lull period, but I remember it very fondly. That...

    Oh yeah! I've seen it but it's been YEARS. I think I'll watch it again right now. Thanks for posting it and I agree. This was around the time I became a Steve Austin fan for the first time. I know I am in the VAST minority, but my favorite work from Austin will always be his heel work in...

    I remember that. He really helped keep that belt from dying after what Shane Douglas did to it.

    I figure a lot of people would watch the match and assume nothing happened much in it. It's not flashy, not a lot of moves. But Bam Bam vs Killer Khan was a classic feud and this match still was pretty brutal for the time. Back when I used to play the IWA, my specialty match was Texas Death...

    A decent little Texas Death Match.

    You're misunderstanding me. I am not saying that WCW didn't allow the characters to evolve. What I was saying is that Vince's complaint was that WCW was taking and using his established characters and that it was hypocritical of Vince to say that when he did exactly what he was accusing WCW of...

    Yeah in basis Vince did to the AWA some very similar things that WCW later did to the WWF. He lifted a lot of established wrestlers and kept their characters and such. It's why a lot of people had little sympathy for Vince's complaining when WCW kept taking their "established stars" and...

    Yeah most of the really old commentators called it "su-play" but I think Gordon Solie was the last one I can remember doing it. Jimmy Garvin...wow, there's a guy I haven't thought about a whole lot but can see the parallel.

    I suppose you also noticed that the pop in the match wasn't for a su- PLEX but the long forgotten Su-PLAY.

    Yeah that would make me cry. It's been a hell of a lot of work for me to get to 9,300 subs and I would probably have a breakdown to just lose that...couldn't imagine losing nearly 20,000.

    They might, I'm not sure. Lord knows the WWE Network has almost nothing, like 7 shows. So far I've been fortunate enough to find most of what I want on YouTube though. Even though WWE owns it all, they haven't done much to take the videos down it seems.

    I checked out the match last night but was too exhausted to post about it afterwards. I think you're right about about Hogan... I mean I haven't seen all of his matches, but I think this match was at least anything better than I'd seen personally in his WWF/WWE run. From what I've heard the...

    Have you ever watched any of the champion vs champion matches. AWA Champion Rick Martel vs NWA Champion Ric Flair is one of my favorite older matches. WWWF Champion Bob Backlund vs NWA Champions Harley Race and Flair were good too.

    Well suplexes back then were pretty much a bigger deal... hell in Ric Flair's first match, a suplex was his finisher. So that was Hogan's best match? It's been a LONG time since I've seen it... even better than his Rock match because that was a good match.
