Very nice. I'm a Rasslin' fan from way back and a lot of those names brought back some memories. One of the local TV personalities, Charlie Platt, used to call the matches when they filmed here. He told me whenever Andre would come to town, Charlie was the guy he'd call to pick him up and drive him around, which meant getting him to the match and then to the bar. He said all Andre wanted to do was drink beer, and lots of it. Didn't want to talk to anybody in the bar. Just wanted to sit with Charlie and drink beer. Said one guy wouldn't leave them alone one night so Andre finally grabbed the guy and threw him across the room. Then he sat back down to drink more beer. From reading that article, sounds about right.

Everything I know about shit talking was learned from watching World Championship Wrestling back in the 1980s, every Saturday night at 6:05pm on Superstation WTBS.

Flair was alright, but when it came to pure shit talking there was none better than the gospel Jim Cornette laid out on the microphone. He was to insults what Rembrandt was to painters.

Snagette's granddaddy was a rasslin' nutt. Had a ringside seat at the Houston County Farm Center for years and years. He loved it when me and her brother would go out there with him. And I didn't mind cause' I loved me some rasslin' too.
***WARNING...BIL STORY*** One of my shining moments came on a night when Ric Flair was in town to put the Heavyweight Championship Wooooo up against my fav at the time, Austin Idol. The women's pet and the men's regret. Me and BIL were standing in the aisle where the "bad guys" went from the ring to the locker room. At one point, Idol was kicking ass so Flair jumps out of the ring and acts like he's done...heading back to the locker room. He stops right in front of us with BIL in between me and Flair. Flair has his back turned when BIL hollers, "Get back in the ring you pussy."
As Flair slowly turned around, BIL sinks down quickly into a chair and Flair goes chin to chin with the Snags and says, "I know you ain't talkin' to me darlin'."
I'd love to tell you I got back in his face and bowed up on the legend. I would have but I was too busy trying to figure out how I was going to cover the pee stain on the front of my pants as I quickly made my way to the bathroom.

This is what it would look like if WT and AUChizad would've squared off. Luckily, we've made amends and he has a tremendous amount of respect for me.
WT is Ricky Morton and Chizad Ric Flair--in this particular scenario.

That's awesome!
There's some little bush league wrestling group that makes the high school gymnasium circuit up this way every so often. I've been wanting to go check one out, but lack a co-pilot willing to engage in some A1 trash talk with the entertainers.

You do realize that you've heard this story at least ten times, don't you?

The local stuff was always the best. When at Auburn, a bunch of us reserved Wednesday nights to drive to Columbus for the WWF matches and then on to Victory Drive for live titties and porn.

Loved going to the old auditorium when I lived in Columbus, Went into one "place" on VD and I swear the lady performing only had one arm. Memory is a little sketchy now and I am sure I had been drinking.

Wiregrass - your hair was stupid in that video, your muscles had no definition , and your tag team name and boot tassels were both gay.

I'd go. But you versus Raita is still the best.

Back in the late 70s, my younger brother was obsessed with wrestling. If it was on TV, we had to watch.
Now my brother was born with scoliosis pretty bad and about 8 years old, he went off to the Shriner's hospital in SC. It was a grueling time form him. He came back about six months later with a body cast all the way down to both knees. he had a tough time getting around and lived mostly on a chair in front of the TV...watching wrestling. Well one of the pins in his leg used for traction got infected and they had to cut the cast off of that leg. (and take the pin out). Well that gave him the ability to sit up at an angle. That was all he needed. Wresting was coming to Montgomery and he had to go. So my dad hauls him over to the civic center and he gets to sit up in the front row on a metal chair. By the time the thing finished, my dad swears he picked my brother up off the floor at least twenty times. He was so into it that while yelling and throwing his own punches, he would flop into the floor. the best night of his young life. Many of the wrestlers came by and said hello. needless to say, wrestling continued to be on our TV for a long time. That was back in the day when the money was not as big as the personalities.

I almost kicked Brad's ass one night at the New Brockton farm center. Lucky for him, I had a buddy there to hold me back. "Hole me back! Hole me back!", I said.
