Pro Wrestling - The Way It Used To Be

[Wireman]

Now this is pro wrestling the way it used to be...you know, when it was "real":

It's still real to me!

I love the jobber who got destroyed by Sgt. Slaughter in this video.

They are all going nuts over a $17,000 car. I guess that was a big deal in 1981.

I absolutely loved the old stuff. Mid-Atlantic ( Briscoes, Mulligan, Flair, Von Rasche , Paul Jones, Wahoo MacDaniel, American Dream, ... on and on ), Southeastern out of Knoxville ( the Fullers, Garvin, Stomper, Ron Wright, Bob Armstrong, ... ) , and MidSouth out of Memphis( the King , Dundee, Jimmy Hart , Jarrett, Tojo Yamamoto, and more) .

 

McMahon's garbage now is almost unbearable to watch most of the time.

[Wireman]

Haha you pulled out Tojo Yamamoto

Haha you pulled out Tojo Yamamoto

 

My Dad told me that he and some of his buddies at EKU were kind of trolls before the Internet was around. They would sometimes have some fun by going to the wrestling shows and cheering for the bad guys... Tojo Yamamoto was one of their favorite guys to cheer for. Everyone didn't share their humor, but he said that one night it was to the point that when Tojo would cheat, he'd turn the guy toward them before hitting him with the dreaded "foreign object".

My all-time favorite is Ric Flair. I love the version of the Four Horsemen that had Flair, Blanchard and the Andersons.

Used to watch it from 5:00 until 2:00 in the morning when I lived in Georgia in the 80's.

My all-time favorite is Ric Flair. I love the version of the Four Horsemen that had Flair, Blanchard and the Andersons.

 

 

Flair's an icon. Absolute legend.

Check out one of my favorite Tojo clips. Possible language warning.

 

Tojo really gets fired up at 6:20. Even goes after Lance Russell. LOL

The Warrior(RIP) had the intensity, no doubt about it.
