Pro Wrestling Updates

Word is Dominick Dijakovic is supposed to be called up soon as well. It's too bad that these events, call-ups, and new arrivals aren't able to happen in front of live crowds. Those initial reactions are always awesome to see and hear and I feel like both fans and talent are being 'cheated' out of that under the current conditions.

Exactly right!

Has anyone seen the news that the powerbomb into the turnbuckle, also known as the bucklebomb, has been banned by the WWE? This move was responsible for giving Kairi Sane a concussion, and injuring Sting and Finn Balor. I think Sting had to retire after his injury.

If anyone is interested, FS1 will have a one hour special on Wrestlemania 24 at 6:00 Central tonight. That will be followed by Wrestlemania 31 at 7:00 Central tonight.

I hadn't heard that yet. It doesn't surprise me it's been banned. If you think about it, it's kind of surprising it took this long.

Wish I could have seen that! Any idea what year it was?

And managed to get paid by WCW for years while never wrestling. Nice 'work' if you can get it.

Skandor Akbar was Kamala's manager during his days in mid south wrestling so I believe this was early 80s, no latter than 85ish

Yep

 

[Stash]

Yep

It's amazing to read about just how much money that company was wasting at one point. The inmates truly were running the asylum.

Cool thanks. My first exposure to any of that is when TBS started showing wrestling on Saturday afternoons back in the 80's. Gotta love Gordon Solie.

That was Superstation WTBS right? Used to love watching that. And agreed, Gordon Solie was the best. I think I remember some of his one liners.
What a pier-sixer
He got Pearl Harbored

Yep, I miss Gordon and how wrestling was back then.

That's not to say there isn't anything redeeming about pro wrestling today.

The guys are (overall) in better shape and are more athletic. The matches are for the most part much faster paced and feature action from beginning to end.

But there are issues that bother me about it.
