Tim Southampton Rover Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 He was a true wrestling legend. My favourite ever Wrestlemania match featured Macho Man against Flair at WM8. Quote
duffbear Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 He was a true wrestling legend. My favourite ever Wrestlemania match featured Macho Man against Flair at WM8. Hoiser Dome Indanoplis I was there watching Live watching Macho win the title and met his brother (the genius) only last year Quote
Nelsta Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Heard this yesterday and was gutted. Despite the joke of a match against Ultimate Warrior(retierment match at wrestlemania 8 i think). He's easily one of the best to grace the ring. Quote
ABBEY Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 He was a true wrestling legend. My favourite ever Wrestlemania match featured Macho Man against Flair at WM8. not a wrestling legend maybe acting legend..not proper wrestling..not knocking the dead tho . Quote
Tim Southampton Rover Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 not a wrestling legend maybe acting legend..not proper wrestling..not knocking the dead tho . Are you talking about roman greco wrestling or something else? Quote
Backroom Tom Posted May 22, 2011 Backroom Posted May 22, 2011 Another legend of the business gone. Rather sadly I'm a huge 'pro wrestling' or 'sports entertainment' fan and it's hard seeing so many of your old favourites go. Thank god there are now more strict regulations with regards to steroids. Rip macho man Quote
adopted scouser Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Sad to see anyone die but wrestling ? Pantomime more like. One of American wrestling's biggest fans demonstrates the long term effects of following the 'sport' Quote
ABBEY Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Are you talking about roman greco wrestling or something else? Im talking olympis freestyle ,greco roman,submission and shoot wrestling. All put tv"wrestling " to shame. Quote
Backroom DE. Posted May 22, 2011 Backroom Posted May 22, 2011 RIP. A true entertainer and a gent outside the ring, too. By all accounts he was very careful with his money and had begun to rebuild burnt bridges with WWE & also Hogan. A great shame. Quote

Not sure Vince would have ever forgiven him for those Stephanie rumours. Will surely go in the HoF now though. Quote
Backroom Tom Posted May 23, 2011 Backroom Posted May 23, 2011 Be a bit of a weird WWE HoF if it didn't have any WWE stars in it no? Quote
Guest roverite1991 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 TCO: Well they have Drew Carey in there. It also lost credibility when it admitted Koko feckin B.Ware!!! Surely The Rock is the next star inductee, given Wrestlemania is in Miami next year? MachoMan should be in there soon though!!! Still gotta admit several big names (imo). The likes of: The Rock Kurt Angle Taker Y2J Mick Foley Chris Benoit (dammit!!! He may be a murderer, but he was one of the stars and should still be in the HoF. One of the best actual 'wrestlers' in a LONG time) Kane Big Show JBL and Farooq (either seperately or as the APA) Edge and Christian will both go in (as should the Dudleys and the Hardys) And that's just those from the modern Era! I don;t think Jake Roberts is in there yet is he? Quote
ABBEY Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Be a bit of a weird WWE HoF if it didn't have any WWE stars in it no? more wierd having a hof for acting ,fixing and farce Quote
Biddy Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Still gotta admit several big names (imo). The likes of: Kurt Angle Mick Foley (as should the Dudleys and the Hardys) None of those will ever happen whilst they are still with TNA. Chris Benoit (dammit!!! He may be a murderer, but he was one of the stars and should still be in the HoF. One of the best actual 'wrestlers' in a LONG time) Let's not go there. WWE have slowly been writing him out of history and quite right too. and Abbey, you'd be pleased to know that "wrestling" is now a banned term within WWE. They aren't about their core product any more, just to tie in with your stance on things. Quote

Biddy Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 still rubbish and insulting to olympians. Kurt Angle is an olympian Quote
sparkspakespoke Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 i know..he sold his soul . Wouldnt you if offered the kind of cash he gets? I bloody would! Quote
bellamy11 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I wish ABBEY would pipe up tell us what he thinks about professional wrestling Quote
Guest roverite1991 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I wish Abbey would go on WWE That would be something else! Miz/Cena eat your hearts out!! Quote
ABBEY Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Wouldnt you if offered the kind of cash he gets? I bloody would! Honestly I got offered the chance when I was 18.turned it down because of steroids.my brother used to beat the British bulldog in every amateur competition. Quote
Ste B Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I love how Abbey knocks wrestling because its all fake etc, then watches American Football which is just a girls version of Rugby. Quote
