My friend has an old vhs tape filled with various Bush Whacker matches. Disturbing to say the least. I couldn't count how many times they grabbed at the other wrestler's junk and fondled it.

do you guys see a reoccurring theme here?

I remember one time on Nitro, there was a battle royal or something, and Hacksaw Jim Duggan was faced off against Scott Steiner or someone. Duggan hit Steiner with his "2x4", the board BENT (the board was styrofoam), and Steiner sold it like death. Then another wrestler tried to block another shot from Duggan, but in doing so, grabbed the board and TWISTED it. It was a comedy of errors.

Besides everything else posted, prolly the most painfull memories of pro-wrestling for me come from comming up in the 80s and being forced to see the same damn Hogan or Flair match over and over again and not having any kind of alternatvie until ECW and USWA came along in the 90s...

Black Scorpion. >.> Oh, it's Ric Flair you say? FU BITCHES!

Anything involving Lex Luger. Anything involving Sid Vicious talking. ><

:lol I remember that match... funny shit.

Anyways, my worst memories involve David Arquette becoming the WCW Champ and the year (or two) leading to WCW's demise. Seeing ECW die, sucked as well. Of course hearing of Owen Hart's and Rick Rude's deaths just flat out sucked.

My worst personal memory was probably the night I stopped watching. It was the Wrestlemania in which The Rock took on Hollywood Hulk Hogan and the crowd was HOT for Hogan and Rock played excellent impromptu heel role. They kept screwing up and screwing up angles and I decided that if Hogan wouldn't go over The Rock clean then I would quit watching. Of course, that didn't happen, predictable booking.

ECW's death was the beginning of the end of my wrestling.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

pretty much anything WCW did when they started losing ratings to Raw. Their desperation was hilarious.

 

[Guzim]

Best WCW angle of all-time was when Ric Flair was in the mental hospital, and he put Little Naitch in charge of WCW.

Plus, NO Tony Schiavonne!! QUOTE]

I HATED that man. What happened to him?

He is doing Atlanta Braves radio now. He said that before Invasion, WWE contacted him to come back, but he has no desire to do wrestling any more. I know he was doing Atlanta Falcons radio stuff at one time as well. I think that was before WCW.

 

[Chittagong]

I was around ten and deeply shocked by seeing Earthquake smash Hulk Hogan to hospital. I made the mistake to tell that to a guy in the higher class I walked to school with, and soon everybody was laughing at me. "hahahaha, you think it's real!"

Except Team Canada of course.

1. Seeing Owen Hart plummet to his death

Agreed. Because that was real.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Superstar Billy Graham's cheesy leg operation....followed up by Hulk "helping" his recovery by kicking his cane out from under him in the desert somewhere.

Olympian dude Ken Patera pretending to hold back a truck with his legs while some dude sits inside it and does a brake stand.

Ricky the Dragon's ninja training for his return to fight Savage.

The death of King Harley Race.

Anything involving Matilda.

Anything involving Sweet Sapphire.

Adrian Adonis's "Adorable" makeover.

The Red Rooster

The Gobbledygooker

The Missing Link

The Berserker

Outback Jack

Bad News Brown

Seeing the Ultimate Warrior fight in his early days as the Dingo Warrior.

I wanna say anything involving Mae Young, but it was pretty cool when the Dudleys put her through a table.

Jericho smashing Chyna's thumb.

Anything involving Jeff Jarrett.

That period where the WWE felt they had to have some mud wrestling event every week.

Oh yeah, and Nailz. Can't forget that crap.

I was a jazz fan at the time :-(

ps I am still a jazz fan... it just hurt so much at that time

 

[evil ways]

Holy shit, how could I forget about this guy.........

THE ZODIAC!!

Along with Kevin "The Taskmaster" Sullivan, The Yeti, and The Giant, which was one of WCW's all time lows.

Owen, there is no doubt. He was my favorite wrestler, so when we watched that ppv and they announced that he died, it was like a friend died. Any time they show him on old clips, it's pretty rough.
