December 20, 201213 yr The "Dead Wrestler Of The Week" piece on Deadspin is pretty cool. They do often-sympathetic profiles on old-school wrestlers who have died.
December 20, 201213 yr Author ^ And the heart punch was his signature move. The Ultimate Warrior was my favorite as a kid. Didn't like Hogan until he went to the NWO. The Undertaker would probably be up there as well. And you have to love Ric Flair for being Ric Flair. :lol: I liked the Warrior too, he was fun to watch in the ring and on the mike. I rember when he was a quest on the Arsenio Hall Show, AH didn't quite know what to think about him.
December 20, 201213 yr I attended Wrestlemania 8 in Indianapolis as a young teenager. It was the one when the Ultimate Warrior returned to rescue Hulk Hogan from Papa Shango & Sid Justice. When the Warrior was running down the aisle with his music blaring, that's the loudest I've ever heard an arena get. Had the chance to see a lot of wrestlers in action at Rupp & at Riverfront Coliseum. Spit on one of the Nasty Boys at Riverfront when I was a kid. :lol:

December 20, 201213 yr Author I grew up in Memphis in the days of channel 13 studio wrestling. We would watch it and then go in the yard and emulate what we saw. One of my favorites was Tojo Yamamoto if anyone remembers him. Yeah I rembere Tojo, he was a good one. I watched them on channel 18 in Lexington back in the day, later it was Channel 3 from Louisville.
