Guest JMA Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 I have to disagree with both RVD and Matt. The greatest hardcore wrestler ever, IMO, was/is Terry Funk.
KTID Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 That's not the point. Matt said the greatest hardcore wrestler ever was Mick Foley *because Foley was in WWE*. I'm not arguing whether it was Foley, Funk, RVD or anyone else. What i'm saying is, if it is Foley it is because of the King Of The Deathmatch tounament and his ECW work, not *the fact that he was in WWE*.

What i'm saying is, if it is Foley it is because of the King Of The Deathmatch tounament and his ECW work, not *the fact that he was in WWE*. I know that. I also disagree with Matt saying the only place that matters is the WWF/E. That's never been the case.
bob_barron Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 I have to disagree with both RVD and Matt. The greatest hardcore wrestler ever, IMO, was/is Terry Funk. Mick Foley is much better at hardcore stuff then the Funker was. At least Foley had the good sense to retire

Mick Foley is much better at hardcore stuff then the Funker was. At least Foley had the good sense to retire Foley was better at the highspots. But Funk was better at the style, IMO. He's also arguably the toughest man in the business.
Guest Choken One Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 Nah. I'm not sure who it was but some one said that Benoit, Haku, Barbarian and Vader were the toughest legit fighters around.

1234-5678 Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 Smackdown magazine is already out. The Savage interview isn't really that interesting or anything to get excited over Anything interesting said at all?
bob_barron Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 Not that I remember- I know he talked about how sad he was about Liz dying
1234-5678 Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 Oh and I gotta agree with whoever said earlier that the obvious match is Savage-Cena.
Guest Coffey Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 Hulk Hogan needs to be a man...or so I heard.
Highland Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 ECW is dead. Get over it. Matt Hardy hit it right on the head when he said Foley had the better hardcore matches, because when it is all said and done, his wwe matches will be remembered, not RVD's ecw ones.
Guest Choken One Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 RVD' ecw matches weren't hardcore... Hell, they weren't even Matches. God, All you fuckers that want RVD in TNA are well aware that the REAL rvd is a guy who spend 28 minutes stalling and posing and 5 minutes flopping around. WWE shortening RVD to 6-10 minutes have rightfully exposed RVD. Matt is right, What people remember is all that matters.
haVoc Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 WWE.com posted this dick tease. Catching Up with Macho Madness by Brian Solomon In the Inaugural issue of SmackDown! Magazine, former WWE Superstar Macho Man Randy Savage sat down with SmackDown! Magazine to discuss life in and out of the ring, and what he has been up to since leaving WWE in 1994. The following is a sampling of what you can read in “Catching Up with Macho Madness” in the Inaugural issue of SmackDown! Magazine: By the beginning of the 1990s, the era of the “New Generation” had arrived, and Savage began playing less of an in-ring role. He spent some time as an announcer, and was part of Monday Night Raw’s original broadcast team. A brief return to action in 1992 saw Savage enjoy a second WWE Championship reign at the expense of Ric Flair. But at the end of 1994, Savage walked away from WWE and headed south to the old WCW. Although the Macho Man got a chance to return to full-time competition, and wore the WCW World title on several occasions, he does not look back fondly on his years spent in that organization. “I wrestled for Vince for 10 years and found out the right way to run a wrestling company,” he says. “Then I went to work for WCW for five years, and found out the wrong way to run a wrestling company. It was completely different under Vince McMahon. Vince is the leader, the one calling the shots. In WCW, they had all chiefs and no Indians. Just a real mess.” In recent years, Savage has been in semi-retirement, choosing not to compete on the independent circuit. Satisfied with the legacy he’s left behind, he’s chosen instead to pursue different ventures. For instance, he played the role of Bonesaw McGraw in the 2002 blockbuster motion picture Spider-Man, duking it out with Peter Parker in a steel cage. “[Director] Sam Raimi was really fun to work for,” he says. “It was kind of like we were working with him instead of for him. Earlier this year, Savage was deeply saddened by the passing of his ex-wife Elizabeth Hulette… Want to find out what the Macho Man has to say about the passing of Miss Elizabeth? How about his view on venturing into the hip-hop world? For the rest of this article and many other articles about SmackDown! and its Superstars, order the inaugural issue of SmackDown! Magazine now!
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 Silly fucks. Savage and Cena will feud over who's rap CD is better. This does sound logical, but since when has Vince done the logical thing? Read the sig....
Jobber of the Week Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 I don't understand the point of shooting on a dead promotion. Furthermore, I don't understand the point of getting offended if someone does. It's DEAD.
Guest Waldo Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 Remember when Savage left WWF in like November 1994, WWF Magazine had him on the cover. I was a subscriber, and got the cover with him petting a dog. The newsstand version had someone else on it. The story about him was still inside both versions.
KTID Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 Some of us hold that "dead promotion" a little close to heart, considering it was, you know, responsible for WWE's "attitude"-era and the late-90's boom period that resulted.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 While some of us consider(and rightfully so) WCW much better than ECW and much more missed than ECW.
Guest Choken One Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 Does Savage still have the 20 pound beard?
ravenlo Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 Any transcripts of the interview available yet?
Art Sandusky Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 Um, where'd Rolling Sambos go? Why was he banned?
CanadianChris Posted November 28, 2003 Report Posted November 28, 2003 Um, where'd Rolling Sambos go? Why was he banned? Systematic elimination of all Randy Orton fans.
Gert T Posted November 28, 2003 Report Posted November 28, 2003 Randy Savage will not be at WM XX, he will be too busy having a "feature role" like in Spiderman!
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 Nah. I'm not sure who it was but some one said that Benoit, Haku, Barbarian and Vader were the toughest legit fighters around. I didn't say "legit fighters." I said "toughest." Yeah that would be Stan Hansen or Vader.
