Tbh I'm still not sure what Bill Watts's problem with top ropes were.

 

[Chris]

Would have been less upset if he just wouln't book top rope moves since he hates them so much instead of ruining matches with DQs bc of them

 

[Chris]

It was fine in Mid-South when it'd just be used sporadically for a fuckery angle and then rarely mentioned any other time

 

[Chris]

Good for Steamboat

 

[Chris]

Man I really love young Paul E.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

The thing is though guys like Raven at the time, Pillman, and Steamboat needed the top rope too.

 

[Hoss]

Even Vader had the top rope moonsault

 

[Chris]

A thing of beauty that was

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Mayne Watts really wanted to popularize Bret's Rope.

 

[Chris]

I need to start dressing like Jesse Ventura

 

[Chris]

Or maybe Johnny B. Badd

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Jesse Ventura is a God damn dapper man.

 

[Chris]

Itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini time

 

[Hoss]

Seems like Watts was just a bitter asshole

 

[Hoss]

That was just trying too hard to shit on what everyone else was doing in wrestling
