Superfly!
I saw him climb on top of a 20 foot fence and splash a guy in the middle of the ring.

Grew up on wrestling. NWA with Gordon Solie announcing. I remember the four horsemen, my favorite tag team was Ricky Steamboat & Jay Youngblood, Chief Wahoo McDaniels, a young Hulk Hogan, Bobby Heenan, Rock & Roll express, Jimmy Boogie Woogie Man Valiant, Nikolai Volkoff, the Iron Shiek, etc. etc. etc.
They had real matches back then. Lumberjack (where other wrestlers would stand around the ring and throw you back in if you tried to sneak out), strap match (where they tied each both wrestlers to either end of a leather rope, & they all had razor blades hidden under the ring so they could cut their foreheads.

Sure brings back memories just thinking of it and hearing those names. I reckon Wrestling was good untill early 90's at most. Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ricky Steamboat, Dusty Rhodes, George the Animal Steele... They were maybe not the most fit Wrestlers back then...but they were real in a way. Today the wrestlers are stuck up dopeheads that uses wrestling as a way to get into Hollywood. I want my childhood back! |

It was great until WWF took over NWA and turned it commercial with pyrotechnics & everything else. It was more pure, with people who wanted to wrestle and nothing else. As you say, it's just a stepping stone to do movies. The wrestlers now have no charisma. No Ric Flairs or Roddy Pippers or anybody else. It's just a matter of how many steroids you can pump into your body.

Well I grew up with wrestling on TV when it was still called WWF, dunno if it's the same organization today though. I liked it when i was young, you know Randy Savage, Hogan, Bundy and Andre the Giant. If your still watching it (here in Holland it was Sky back then) you got some cool additions.

It's the same people. The World Wrestling Federation got sued because they used the acronym WWF. Who by? The World Wildlife Foundation. The WWF offered them a huge amount of money to get the rights for the WWF, but the Foundation wouldn't do it. So they changed their name to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Still ran by the McMahon family. Actually, there used to be many regional wrestling companies till big buisness (i.e. the McMahons) put them out.
