For those that played "wrestling" as a kid.....

Vince135792003

I'm sure I am not the only one and I know I wasn't since we use to have Royal Rumbles on the grass in school!

So for those that played "wrestling" as a kid, what wrestler did you copy and what were your moves of choice?

I was an eclectic mix of Randy Savages elbow off the top rope (my dads step ladder), Ric Martels boston crab and multiple Ultimate Warrior style clotheslines.

So what were your "moves" and who did you pretend to be?

The repo man

I used the sharpshooter and roll ups to win. :awesome:

callaway92

youd always win with Roll Ups..

Bubs101

Had the look of an Edge or Christian based on my blonde Batistuta hair and they were my favourites along with X-pac so I combined their quick style with the Pedigree

callaway92

Ah The Pedigree was a favourite with everyone...And Rock Bottom

BlackMamba

Rocked the swinging DDT as a finisher. Nobody could do it better!:p

krudler

We had a makeshift ring and everything in the back garden, two matresses and a load of clotheslines for the ropes, ah those were the days, busted lips and trying to give each other piledrivers, and title belts made out of cereal boxes and tinfoil lol, i made the LOD shoulderpads they were the tits

How could I forget the staples of the double suplex, sleeper holds and one of my personal favourites, the swimming pool chokeslam

Ah yes, them were the days. I'm from a family of four brothers and we used to damn near kill each other, but the tag matches were frigging epic! Had a hell of a long running stable fued going with our cousins too. Cardboard belts (winning the IC title from my older brother is still a damn proud moment for me, fukker won it back the next week with the Sharpshooter though) and using the couch cushions as a ring and doing flying elbows off the back of the couch. How noone ever got hurt is a minor miracle looking back on it now!

Haha, had forgotten about that one! Great fun, but nearly got us all barred from the local pool a few times!

Tried a swimming pool powerbomb once, not a good idea

Ha we had them too! I was given the job of making of the WWE Hardcore Title. My mates were complaining to me because it looked like crap and I was like "it's the Hardcore belt, it's suppose to look like shit!":D

And I was the ,ahem, storyline writer for our "federation". My mates say I was great at that, except every time I wrote that the guy who hosted the wrestling would lose the Heavyweight Title he would throw a fit and threaten to kick us out until I agreed to change the ending! Proper bloody HHH! :mad::pac:

Lol we were doing this when we were 12-13 years old, back in the Hogan, Hitam, Mr. Perfect, British Bulldog era (1990s). We were quite rough about it too!

I used the figure four as my move simply because it's bloody painful if you actually use it!

Yeah we had the cardboard belts too, made from cardboard and tinfoil. I still have my IC title somethere

Most notable moments, when one of the lads (12-year-old rugby player and a tank of a guy) made a 16 year-old tap out via bear hug ( ).

My own favourite memory was when I successfully defended my IC title vs my best mate at the time. We were beating seven shades out of each other when I caught him off guard with a small package. The ref counted 3 which was enough to send my mate into fits of crying. Back in the day, I was way more into the Mr. Perfect/Hitman technical style of wrestling and it worked that day

Ahhh memories..

And no jokes about catching people offguard with small packages are neccessary :rolleyes:

Our whole road was into it . I liked Perfect and Barbarian . It was all going well untill somebody got a broken collarbone. The only guy who didnt take part because he had no interest in wrestling turned out to be SOS

Kid Nothing

I was pretty small and one of my mates was pretty athletic so my favourites were hurricanranas and head scissors, originally thinking I was copying Jeff Hardy, given I was always taking the most powerful moves in retrospect i'm gonna go with Spike Dudley!

RAMPAGE1

Always loved the Road Warriors and my mate was always Hawk I was Animal just loved the way they brutalised tag teams
Used to Hoist my friends up and my mate would take their heads off and they would end up in a hedge good times

Tricity Bendix

Jake the Snake was the guy I most often emulated. I used a stuffed snake and everything. Also, the DDT was a great move that took no physical strength whatsoever, which was a bonus considering I was (and still am) a little weakling. The fun and games came to end, however, when my parents walked in on me scoop slamming my sister off a bed onto a wooden floor, probably while being Hulk Hogan (how on earth has he not been mentioned yet!), and banned me from watching wrestling.

That makes sense to why wwe like him.

Big guy, stereotypical, has no interest in the wrestling part whatsoever. Thats what they usually go for anyway.




I will admit that i was the jobber of the time, (i could take a pedigree like no one else) until of course i won the World championship in a cage match.
My primary school had one of them wire fence running around two boundaries of the yard and all that was behind them was trees as it was in the country.

So there was a section where you could walk around a wall and be behind the school. So me and the "rock solid steve miavia". No prizes for guessing what two he was mimicking.


So he gave me the stunner and went to climb the "cage" and while he was halfway up i rolled over and found a section (which i figured out prematch) that wasnt pinned down and pulled myself under the fence, technically wining the match.

I instantly became face.

And then i was giving what was the exact same celebration as mankind when he won on raw, even though it was years before any of that.

Oh yeah, my moves were:

Shake rattle and roll.
Spear.
The walls of jericho.
Bear hug.

Those were my main ones anyway.

Me too actually. Suppose that's what happens in all boy's schools when they get fed up with footie. Our "royal rumbles" never lasted too long. Teachers went mental over it and the principal always gave the whole school a warning that it was against school rules.

I tried a piledriver on my brother when I was about 12. Totally botched it up and nearly broke his neck cause I landed sideways. got it **** and was told I wasn't allowed watch wrestling again. I swore I wouldn't do it again and instead turned my attention towards large teddy bears.

one of my mates (who posts here actually) gave me a ddt onto concrete once when we were kids

true story, not that i remember much of it

JAke Roberts gave a DDT to someone on concrete floor once. I think it was around 88,89 and I think it might have been Ricky Steamboat. rovert or Shawnraven will confirm. Dangerous ****ing stuff.

Not to put a dampner on things but anyone remember the name Lionel Tate?

Bloody hell.:eek: My mate claims that he took a tombstone on a steel shore before but I'm cynical about that. Then again to know him you'd realise he is a few sandwiches short of a picnic.:pac:

Me and my mate 3D'd his girlfriend once. I assumed when he called for the 3D he knew what he was doing.

Bad call.

He picked her up, I jumped forward while grabbing her head, but he didn't drop straight down so she was just dragged forward and landed right on her head.

She wasn't hurt thankfully.

Never used to be able to understand why my little brother wouldn't fall asleep every time I slapped the Million Dollar dream on him.

Also tried an inziguri once on my mate. Both of us fell to the ground in tandem him crying ...."you just kicked me in the f*cking head" and me crying " I think I just broke my nose".

My older brother was Crush and often used to squeeze our little heads, he is a big lad too. My younger brother was the high flyer, jumping off wardrobes and all sorts. He cut his chin which was the worst of the accidents which is quite suprising.
I was going to attempt a piledriver a lad in school but he said it was too gay to put his head anywhere near my crotch.

Thats exactly the same reason why none of us tried the powerbomb either. :pac:
