Wrestling Link Game....

[Guest the 1inch punch]

who? RICK BASSMAN?

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

go below.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Bassman owns the UPW, home to a favorite EWR guy of mine THE DRUNK IRISHMAN.

[Guest Steviekick]

who is only half as drunk as the drunken Road Warrior, HAWK

[Guest BAR]

Whose drunken antics got him replaced by DROZ in '97.

[Guest Steviekick]

Who was supposed to team with a white wearing VIC GRIMES, but he fell off the top rope and soon got canned

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

known as Key, he was scheduled to feud with the GODFATHER, as Key wanted to expand his empire and move into prosititution to go with his drug trade.

[Guest the 1inch punch]

Now thats a character.

 

However, poor old Vic blackballed himself from every grroup going for his insane stunts, both involving NEW JACK

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

who has surfaced in the TNA teaming with SHARK BOY.

[Guest Mattdotcom]

Whose t-shirt Mick Foley was wearing when I met him.

[Guest Steviekick]

and one of his final promos in ECW involved him looking for Vince McMahon and Titan Tower, but instead walked out of an elevator to find Stevie Richards and the BLUE MEANIE playing paddy cake.

[Guest the 1inch punch]

i thought they came to the ring and sang New York, New York, like FRANK SINATRA

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

that was the night Foley left for good. And Frank Sinatra's favorite wrestler was GIANT HAYSTACKS, whom he saw on t.v. during a tour of England. Frank was impressed by his agility for his huge size.

[Guest Sturgis]

is that HAYSTACKS CALHOUN or somebody else?

[Guest the 1inch punch]

yup, same guy

 

Much like the constant marks theroy that the ULTIMATE WARRIOR has been different guys over the years

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

actually, it isn't. Giant Haystacks was the English version of Haystacks Calhoun and he was known in the US as Loch Ness when he wrestled for WCW.

 

Now, on the Ultimate Warrior, you're right. Unless, you want to count the couple of times KERRY VON ERICH played the Warrior on house shows right after Warrior quit the WWF unexpectedly the first time, because the Warrior had already been advertised as being there.

[Guest the 1inch punch]

and how the fuck did he "play him"

 

beats when i saw Kerry in the WWE House Show, Dublin '92, when he lost to RICK MARTEL

[Guest Steviekick]

and he was the tag team partner of my most favorite Internet columnist TOM ZENK

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Kerry dressed up like the Warrior, came out to his music, did his mannerisms, did his moves. Since they had a similar body type and hair style at that time it wasn't too hard to fake as long as people didn't get a good look. I read about this in some Ask411 column, I think. A different 'actor' can play someone else's 'character' and get by at times. Although with Warrior, I know it's more than a character.

 

Anyway, Zenk's leaving the WWF forced Martel to partner with TITO SANTANA and form Strike Force.

[Guest Sturgis]

Tito, who is a really nice guy in person, defeated GREG "THE HAMMER" VALENTINE for the WWF Intercontinental Title, who actully did him a favor a broke the belt against the steel cage so Tito could get a new one

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

who defended the belt against THE JUNK YARD DOG at the first Wrestlemania. Greg cheated to win, Tito came out to the tell the ref, he restarted the match and Greg took a walk to lose by count out.

[Guest Steviekick]

and JYD liked wearing chains to the ring just like HERCULES

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

who snapped those chains in half when BOBBY HEENAN sold him to Ted Dibiase.

[Guest the 1inch punch]

who, poor bastard, has cancer, and is literally half the man he used to be, he last pooped up, looking like death warmed up, to shill the Hogan-Vince match at WRESTLEMANIA

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

who's last Wrestlemania appearance before that was working the Wrestlemania X7 gimmick battle royale with GENE OKERLAND.

[Guest the 1inch punch]

who he mistook for TONY SCHIAVONE

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

who was damn good when he first came up and was parterned with BOB CAUDLE, but went down hill about the time Bisch took over WCW.

[Guest Dmann2000]

Who is calling play by play with JIM ROSS at Halloween Havoc 1989, which I'm watching right now.

[Guest MillenniumMan831]

Who cohosted JR is WAR w/ DR. DEATH STEVE WILLIAMS one night in 1999.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

and I'm sure it irked JR to no end when Williams got decked by BART GUNN in the Brawl for All.
