Used to crack me up eating the turnbuckle stuffing...

In real life he had a degree and was a teacher/sports coach.

I wonder now who was the silliest, them (wrestlers) for their performances or for us who watched them so avidly week in and week out.

One of my faves when I watched many years ago

These guys had personality. So unlike the stuff of today.

Now there's a name I haven't heard for a long time. yeah, he was a crack up.
80's wrestlers were like 80's rock stars. You couldn't get a gig unless you had a zainy theme or reputation of some kind.

Sometimes I wonder how the wrestlers ever kept a straight face.
Ya would have thought King Kong Bundy would have bitten the dust by now.

I often wonder how he pulled off launching his 200kg off the top rope and "splashing" onto one of the midget tag team wrestlers.

OK, so, I'm a little younger than you guys, and of course my favourite wrestlers were from the 90's. My favourite was, and still is, The Undertaker, also Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Bret "The Hitman" Hart. I also liked his little brother Owen Hart, but he sadly died during an accident in an arena in 1999.
