Didn't notice the difference. Good catch.
"Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin is amazing. He really knew how to play the pompous heel, that guys like Rick Martel really drew parallels to. His in-ring work was nice, but his character really defined him, in my opinion.
This thread is common to my interests
My favorite Hogan wrestling match. By far his best in-ring work, in my opinion.
WWF was a carbon copy of the AWA, in the mid 80s. Billy Graham, Curt Hennig, Scott Hall, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Harley Race, Slaughter, Super Fly, Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman.The AWA is awesome. I've always loved watching any documentary I could find on the promotion. So many guys got a start there.
I beg to differ. I think WCW allowed an evolution of their characters. Hogan and Savage retained their characters, for a short while. For the most part, they had changed up their act and reformed to one of the hottest acts in wrestling history. WCW used WWE guys and built more off their already established characters. Hollywood Hogan and nWo Savage. Another example of WCW building off of guys is Razor Ramon and Kevin Nash. They already had a certain swagger about them, and Eric expanded upon that.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

Vince McMahon lured the guys away and did little to change and refreshen their act. It might be because they didn't need a change, but I think that WCW did the least harm, with their signings. WWE's signings, however, killed dozens of companies and ended dozens of careers.
In those cases it was usually Vince not being interested in using or pushing those wrestlers so much as just wanting to keep them from making money for the other companies. Hell, he still does that today. Look at how tightly Vince hanged on to Rey Mysterio despite Rey almost never appearing on TV. Vince didn't want to use Rey, he just didn't want Rey to help AAA or Lucha Underground.Vince McMahon lured the guys away and did little to change and refreshen their act.
