Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted December 7, 2003 IS this going to be posted in every folder? One in WWE, NWA-TNA, here, and I haven't checked, but probably in the Puro folder too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a guy who's done close to nothing in the wrestling world, he sure gets' more attention than Stu Hart, Road Warrior Hawk, and Moondog Spot combined. Again, RIP though.

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2003 (edited) Well, fuck. I mean, I was never a huge fan of the Wall or anything. He was, after all, just another slow big guy, but I do remember him for what was one of the greatest moments in WCW history to me. Monday Nitro was taking place outside at a beach for one show and Hogan was in the ring doing a promo. He was talking about how he didn't have an opponent that night and that he would take on any challenger. Then the Wall's music kicked in and a spotlight shined at the top of a really high building near the ring. Standing on top of that building, looking down at Hogan was the Wall himself. Now for those of you who don't remember him or who have never seen him, the Wall looked kind of like a white Mr. Hughes. Sunglasses, tie, white shirt with no sleeves, etc. And he was up there, with his hand in the air as if to signal the chokeslam. Then he used his other hand to point at Hogan while screaming as hard as he could (though we could hear none of it). All while his tie was flapping in the wind. I always remember him for that and kicking Berlyn's ass. RIP Malice. Edited December 7, 2003 by Rico Costantino Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2003 I, too, shall never forget that episode, especially for that classic line from one Professor Hogan after seeing Wall on the building "...THAT'S THE WALL, BROTHER!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
