Killer Bees and Rougeaus putting on TV bangers weekly

same really but I've never been big on Warlord and I didn't care for Barbarian much til the 90s but actually became a bit of a mark for his low level WCW runs

Ever read Y2J's first book? He talks a lot about Warlord in it. Lol dude was hilarious. Drove around all night in Japan until he found a place that would cook a steak. Sounds like something I would do

The rougeaus are one of my favorite teams of all time

Always loved Jaques. Dude knew how to work a crowd. Didn't mind getting slapped by jobbers just to get a crowd reaction. His stuff with Tatanka (another favorite) was epic

That when WCW started pairing random wrestlers together to be champs. However, GWF had a good division then

[Leon TrotSky]

[Chris]

You could have claimed it though I don't fact check
