GOAT Segment
Has wrestling always been scripted?
I thought it was exciting when I was a little kid watching Bret Hart.
There's a video about his fall from wrestling supers om. It's a really tough watch.
Another vote for the golden era, here. The schticks in the at ude era got old so fast.
Mankind was a beast though. Tons of character/charisma.
The Rock was always the best when it came to selling the Stunner.
^Yep, with the accent, & his Pit was the best. He'd always talk the guy into coming on in with the promise there'd be no violence. tee, hee. They sit down and start conversing. Before the commericial break-in he'd just beat the outta the guy. lmao!!!
Dude Love was excellent where he'd flash his hands in front of knees like the old beatniks. lmao!!
Of course. It has to be to make it look presentable and relatively safe for the guys.
The Hart foundation was great . Jim "The Anvil" Neiiiiiiiiiiidhart." Jimmy "The Mouth of the South" Hart would always take Brett's sun glasses off in dramatic fashion. Little things made it all so vivid and memorable. And they'd do the same exact thing, week in and week out. I just enjoyed the out of the regularity of the program.
Don't forget about DiBiase boasting about how "EVERYONE'S GOT A PRICE", Honky Tonk Man braining everyone with his guitars, and the British Bulldog beating everyone in the name of his mascot. Good times.![]()
^Oh, yeah. Okerland would call Honky Tonk Man "Honky" just as natural as if he was talking to a friend.
& Dibase made that [act] work splendidly. That was difficult because it was so simple and ridiculous, even childish.
& Elizabeth would always play the role 100% of time absolutely correct. She'd never give an at bat away. Never. In the good days before the split, they always dressed her appropriately and correctly. They never skipped an appearance and "cheated."
The dedication to production by McMahon and his people cannot be underestimated.
They done good.
"that's it he's dead"
^Can you imagine the ride down? He probably thought he'd never land. I could agree to that in McMahon office, and even ringside, but, once on top I wouldn't do it. Like skydiving. Fine, take me up there, but, I ain't goin' out that door. If I can get my hands around a stationary object I ain't goin'.
^I like the girls screaming at 1:18. It's like a carnival ride then.
Again, the little things, the way Cold leaves the ring.
Good lodgment, Riddler.
I remember one time they were going to have Austin give Linda (?) Vince's wife/// McMahon the stunner. She hesistated so badly that it looked terrible, but, who can blame her.
My pop's reaction to this was priceless. He was a huge undertaker fan and this match made him just disappointed. After the match he turned to me and said "I think after he threw him off the cage, Mankind was done. He didn't have to do all of that other stuff. I mean, he threw off a cage and through a table? Why did he have to chokeslam him onto thumb tacks." Took me an hour to convince him that it was all Mankind's fault. What a match
hahahahaha ^
The rock troll is the best troll, in honor of the kings not leaving Sacramento
fake fighting fits perfectly on a forum with fake tough guys and fake Negros.
Exactly..unless you're under 15 or gay there's no reason to be watching grown men in underwear play fighting..
