Almost everyone from classic ecw sucks. I said it

Taz and RVD are cool

 

[Barry Poppins]

what kind of asshole is called toots

The guy responsible for modern wrestling, ironically enough.

 

[#Waddles]

Vince Sr's old business associate

 

[Barry Poppins]

That's not even sarcasm, Toots Mondt is who we have to thank for wrestling evolving from the carnivals to the arenas, with many of the booking ideas started by him that we still use today.

[Ricky Smarks]

very very uncool

still amazes me he blew off an ECW date to go to Japan and Heyman cut a promo on him and still brought him back a year later.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Yeah, his style of wrestling was known as "Slam Bang Western Wrestling", which eventually evolved into different subsects of modern wrestling, from Lucha to Puro to Sports Entertainment and everything in between.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Taz and RVD are cool

i like Taz too though there was that sketchy massage underage story in the 90s

 

[Jimmy King]

Taz and RVD are cool

Sandman seems cool too

 

[Comrade Khan]

some much ick in wrestling

 

[Barry Poppins]

Sandman had issues with alcoholism but he was largely not a problem backstage IIRC.

People saying "Taz is cool" makes me sad. So often people forget the whipping out his dick to an underage girl at a tanning place
