The good old days of wrestling- I miss them

[Hades]

I was just looking through some old wrestling tapes of mine and can't help but feel saddened by all the old school superstars we have lost over the last few years at an early age. I say we should have a moment to remember those that have been lost. This is for those who watched WWF during the late 80's and early 90's. Those were the days. Sign.

[ChainGang_General]

Y isnt Eddie up there

[Violet]

Yeah, soo sad. I miss Eddie terribely, it's nearly been a year, feels like yesterday though. I remember finding out in school, i ran out of the room crying.

I miss Miss Elizabeth too, she was such a beautiful woman.

[ChainGang_General]

Yea she was beautiful..

[Tad217]

RIP....some great/entertaining wrestlers up there.


I remember finding out in school, i ran out of the room crying.

thats a bit extreme

[ChainGang_General]

Yea..Lets hope we dont lose anymore good 1s anytime soon..

[Violet]

Yea she was beautiful..

She was. She was far more prettier then half the WWE divas today. Majority of them are fake breasted, skanky looking airheads.

I remember when i was about 6 and i used to see her wearing all the pretty dresses and i was like to my mum. 'Can i get a dress like that?' and stuff like that.

[ChainGang_General]

Isnt that cute..

[Raiden]

how come this thread hasnt been moved?

[ChainGang_General]

Dont know..

[punjabi king]

right now there are matches going on in heven

andre vs Yokozuna
Earthquake vs Big John Studd
Junk Yard Dog vs Big Bossman
Owen Hart vs Eddie Guerrero
The British Bulldog vs Dino Bravo

[UTisNUM1]

Yeah alot of people dieing doing what they do best and they went out happy. But some one please move this to the Old School forums.

[Hitman]

Great post! I remember all those great superstars up there and they are truly missed.Ravishing Ric Rude was one of my all-tiime favorites. He was the heel the guys hated but the women loved.He would get great heat all the time.

[UTisNUM1]

Yeah I also miss Crash Holly and his scale he would carry with him to the ring.

[Juan Miguels]

They need to bring back Brother Love!

[UTisNUM1]

Yeha i liked Brother Love he was the most entertaining of the 3 personas

[Hades]

Found three more. Will add them to the list. Each time I come across a deceased superstar I know on the old tapes I'll add them to the list.

[punjabi king]

this will be a good way to get the younger fans to no who made wrestling and the sacerfices they made so other superstars could be come ledgends like these superstars.

[UTisNUM1]

I miss the days when table broke and didnt fall cause the legs were too weak.

[Juan Miguels]

I miss the days of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.

[UTisNUM1]

Yeha i liked Brother Love he was the most entertaining of the 3 personas

I ment Dude Love that is what i thought you ment.

[Juan Miguels]

lol I was wondering about that.

[UTisNUM1]

I couldnt stand Brother Love it seemed like his face was going to explode.

[Juan Miguels]

It was red face paint.

[UTisNUM1]

Really?

[Hitman]

Yeah,did you know Brother Love was Takers first manager in the WWE

[Juan Miguels]

I remember.

[qwerty123]

It was red face paint.

it looked relly good

[Juan Miguels]

I liked how he talked like a priest. It was good shit.

[Hitman]

^^His promos were so funny! III LuVVVVVVVV youuuuuuuuuu.
He was the most hated man in the WWF but he still loved eveyone,LOL.

[Juan Miguels]

I miss Owen Hart.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUbhCD58F3M

[Hitman]

Owen Hart was one of the WWE's most underrated stars. I miss him too and he should be inducted in the WWE HOF someday.

[UTisNUM1]

I loved it when he messed up his promo to Bret where he said "That is why i kicked you leg out of your leg" LoL priceless


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNeUubwLF6o

[Hitman]

I loved when HBK would always call him a Nugget,lol.

[Violet]

Yeah i miss him too.

[Hitman]

I miss tag teams of the old days LOD,Midnight Express,British Bulldogs ect...

[UTisNUM1]

When the Godfather was popular

[Hitman]

^^and he was the conductor of the HOOOOOOOo train!

[qwerty123]

When the Godfather was popular

he was awsome but i loved right to censor

[Hitman]

RTC was pretty funny because it was directed towards the PTA at the time.

[qwerty123]

^ i just liked heir entrance music

[Hitman]

^I liked how they made Val Venis wear white pants all the time LOL
Ivory was the best thing about that group.

[qwerty123]

I liked steven richards

[Hitman]

He was always pretty good on a mic

[UTisNUM1]

To bad he is highly annoying. (1400th post!)

[GGEvl1]

Its a damn shame every time I think of all the guys that were lost.

[Hitman]

I know alot of guys come and go but that's the way it is in wrestling. They have a what have you done for me lately attitude now.

[hitman_walker]

I miss the good old days, but 5 years from now i will say 2006 was the good old days, everthing is good when you look back on it.

[Juan Miguels]

This should be known as the shit era.

I miss the Monday Night War.

[Hitman]

The Monday night war had me changing channels every couple of minutes,lol

[qwerty123]

This should be known as the shit era.

I miss the Monday Night War.

WWE needs to rebuild now so it wont be known as the shit era

[Hitman]

^I dont think the WWE is so bad right now, they just need to make some changes.

[qwerty123]

Alot of good wrestlers will be retired soon

[Hitman]

^and new ones are coming in everyday

[bean]

brings back a lot of memories

[UTisNUM1]

I miss the good old days, but 5 years from now i will say 2006 was the good old days, everthing is good when you look back on it.

That is true.

[Juan Miguels]

I miss hearing Bobby Heenan call matches.

[villin]

this is the lowest point in rasslin history. TNA is startin to shine though thats for dam sure.

[UTisNUM1]

^^^LoL Why would you make a good conversation turn into crap by saying stupid shit like that???

[Hades]

I am sad about having to add another superstar to my list.

[TR305]

What If These Guys Werent Dead And Were Apart Of The WWE Today? What Role Would You See Them Playing? I Mean Imagine Owen Hart still around for example. I agree with who ever said he was the most underated wrestler and I feel he never reached his full poetential

[Ray18032]

R.I.P. to all these greats

[Hades]

It is with a heavy heart that I add another great to the list.

RIP Mike Awsome

Will it ever end?

RIP Bad News Brown
