These days I find myself wearing Umaga's shirt, mainly because I'm a fan of ringer shirts. And I always like raising eyebrows at work about the big scary face on the front. Plus, Sandman's shirt is always a good conversation starters with the few wrestling fans at work. I used to wear Carlito's Eat Spit and Finlay's Love Ta Fight shirts but those are now for home or get-togethers with buddies. Other than that, I would never wear a wrestling shirt in public for all the reasons previously mentionned, except maybe at a wrestling event.

Drama, my friend. Jingus, you could kiss a baby in that ring, and give out puppies to the hicks. But in the real Podunk towns, the ref will always be enemy #1.

There is. Unless you're stinkin' rich. Or if you wipe with a few Ben Franklins, then this one's for you.

He looks like Will Ferrell it's uncanny.

Can anybody repost Bobby Heenan's greatest commentary ever, featured in a Hacksaw Jim Duggan match? "College!"

Helms: Wasn't he Cruiserweight champ by then? The belt went from WCW to WWF because the Light Heavyweight Title was a joke by then. Storm: Won his job back by beating The Rock via countout on Raw. Palumbo: Had already defected to WWF, forming the tag team with Billy Gunn. the rest: Threatened creative with a lethal dose of continuity in order to get their jobs back.

Hey, a topic I feel at home with. For me, definitely Chioda. When I ref in the indies, I try to copy his general mannerisms from the devil horn two-count, and the putting-your-foot-down attitude. I was also a bit of a fan of Brian Hebner, from which I copied the armband look but that's more because I get sweaty during matches. And I try to watch as much Tommy Young as possible as he always paid attention to details. And I love, love, love that the WWE refs recently started checking shoulders with that little hand slide during pins, and generally treating matches as more of an athletic contest between two wrestlers rather than Sportz Entertainment segment #2-B. We haven't seen a ref bump in a high-profile match, haven't we? That is good. So very good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9XqX9y-kz8 Part 2 of the Hogan/Giant match, about 3:15 in. Freakin' Paul Wight climbs up to the top and dives with an elbow (!!), and the commentators barely gloss over it. Incredible.

This lacks Richard Crenna.

Not only that, the chyron even calls him Bert Hart.

For my money, the only worthwhile segment was Vince pitching the gimmick to Droz himself as seen in Beyond The Mat. "He's gonna-heee's gonna-he's gonnaaaheeeeee's gonna PUKE, he's gonna PUKE...!"

My God that was awesome. This thread needs more Brain.

Cory Mecklen = Ollie Williams with a beard "Is gon' RAIN!"

Left forearm.

Just a meaningless face vs face Hardys VS Too Cool match that took place on a Raw.

I'd remove Ultimo Dragon and Psicosis from that list, since the Cruiserweight title's lineage goes back to the WCW days.

I nominate: - Manson's The Beautiful People when it served as the Raw Is War theme for all of a week or two. Combined with the shot of Austin walking into the warehouse in the opening montage, it just worked. - Puddle Of Mudd's Nothing Left To Lose for Rumble 04. - The old school Wrestlemania theme (heard at the end of Rumble 94, for instance)

I went and caught up with the times and got me a router. 2230 4741 4027 0189 I'll go through the thread later on and add some more people. Edit: ... And, that's all of you. Awaiting to be added!

Lockbox.

337. {ASS!}

They are indeed. But would it kill him to spellcheck, capitalize names and get some facts right? This looks like a first-draft high school project.
