Always liked Mr. Perfect too and Bobby Heenan always made me laugh.

They had the most amazing chemistry. Keep an eye on the towel.

Absolutely Perfect.

I would know some of the names today, but i no longer have any interest. I wasn't a big fan off the attitude era either. I loved the Pantomime style atmosphere to wrestling in the late 80s early 90s. Although I'd love to know what the feck they were smoking when they came up with the Gobbledygooker?

Wrestling in the 80s was Big Daddy & Giant Haystacks, with Dickie Davis presenting

As a child in my grandmothers house in B&W Mick was always booed.

Saturday afternoon with Dickie Davis, simple times..

Kane was one those guys they would build as a ****ing machine but they would bury him left right and center whenever it suited. The thing was he still always came out looking good afterwards cause well Kane :pac:

The whole thing when he lost the mask for a while was hilariously bad yet the story lines around it worked in a weird way.

I had loads of favourites from the 90s it'll be too hard to name them all but the likes of Bret and Owen Hart Shawn Michaels the early Undertaker Money Inc Bam Bam Bigelow Macho Man Doink the Clown - so many!

I used to love WWF but we never had money for satellite TV so I had to get some cousins who were richer than me to record it on tape! Great days. Tried to get back into it a while ago but now it's WWE and all PG so it's not the same

Cant forget Undertaker obviously and loved any character Mick Foley played.

STOP THE DAMN MATCH!!! AS GOD IS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!!!

He gets back up from that, goes back up top and then takes a bad bump through the roof of the cage and a chair lands on his mush, pushing a tooth out through his nose. Not for the squeamish.

This and Kendo Nagasaki . Everything there after was American rubbish.

Big Daddy and Haystacks could hardly move! They were awful athletically but they were a product of their time. Good harmless family fun.

Loved the Rockers until Shawn Michaels left and became a "baddie". Followed the drama of Hulk Hogan vs the Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth. It was like a soap opera! My brother and I would stay awake to watch the Royal Rumble live once a year which was always a highlight.

Rowdy Roddy Piper was mine.

Here is Rowdy Roddy Piper hitting the Jimmy (Murder) Sunka with a Coconut.

I remember him losing the mask. Was a bit anticlimactic, he was great though. He had like a stage presence ( ring presence?) that you couldn't match. Probably helped that he was about 7 feet tall.

Sid Vicious,all 6'9" ,a scary opponent.

madalig12 · 28-12-2018 10:33PM

Taken to the Tul na Ree in Carndonagh as a child to see if we could see Big Daddy or Giant Haystacks before their show that night. Will never forget seeing Giant Haystacks squished into an estate car. Got to shake his Giant hand tooðŸ˜€

RicketyCricket · 28-12-2018 10:35PM

The Ultimate Warrior was a huge favourite of mine. Sid Vicious and Big Boss Man I liked as well. Was a big fan of Kevin Nash later on in WCW. Loved his finishing move the Jackknife Powerbomb. Not watched wrestling in years now.

Steve Blackman.

How he didn't get pushed further is beyond me

salmocab · 28-12-2018 10:42PM

Million dollar man was brilliant, great character, apparently they actually gave him cash to give big tips when having dinner when they were on the road.
Think I read that when they offered him the roll Vince Mc Mahon said if he was coming then it’s the character he would want.
