Not at all dodhagi,you obviously had an interest in wrestling back in the day because you name dropped 3 of them in your last 2 posts

Anyone watched that André the Giant documentary?

It’s actually quite good,definitely worth a watch.

Stumbled across it and not the sort of thing I would usually watch but me and the Mrs were hooked.

As you said it was very good, pretty sad really how his career/life ended, chewed up and spat out by the company. Seemed to be some genuine emotions shown from those within.

Certainly worth a watch even if you aren't into big sweaty guys throwing each other around a ring to the millions watching.

I can never understand why people feel the need to post on a thread that they have no interest in the subject of the thread.

For example I have absolutely no interest in the NFL or cricket and have no desire to tell the people that post in those threads that I have no interest in the subject.

I always think if you don’t care then why are you opening the thread?

Solipsism / narcissism.

I can name a few cricketers aswell and have zero interest in that either. What a topsy turvy world we live in eh.

I must admit i did enjoy the wwf arcade game in the early 90’s tho as a loon. And also when my pal, who was a big wwf fanboy, would refer to his parents as the Legion Of Doom.

Wrestlefest? That was brilliant.

I loved WWF in the early 90s - interest seemed to peak here just as it was declining in the US as I think European audiences preferred stars like Bret Hart and the British Bulldog over Hulk Hogan. Bret Hart claims he was swarmed by fans whenever he came to Europe. If you only ever watch a single pro wrestling match in your life, you can do worse than the Hart vs Davey Boy Smith match at Wembley in 1992. Apparently Hart had laid out the entire match to Smith a few days prior but the latter decided to go on a cocaine binge notwithstanding that he was going to win the IC title which was going to springboard his singles career. Hart claims that they locked up in the ring after the bell rang and Smith spoke in his ear "I'm f00ked". Hart still managed to guide him to a career defining match. Unfortunately Smith never really shook off his daemons before his death - a tragic story of unfulfilled potential.

Attitude era was pretty good too, especially 99-01 when The Rock and Steve Austin were the main stars. Lost interest after that.

The arcade game was superb. I spent a small fortune when I was in Canada back in 1991. My faither wisnae happy.

You come across a bit Ravishing Rick Rude for my liking though.

Off the top rope...

Battle Royal at the Albert Hall was f@cking great. Probally my most watched video as a kid

Nasty Boys v The Rockers in the first match was quality entertainment. Earthquake v Big Boss Man was decent too

The 20 man battle royal at the end was superb. Rowdy Roddy Piper gunning for Ric Flair, British Bulldog eliminating Typhoon to win and Earthquake coming in to batter BB. Then Andre the Giant comes in and smashes Earthquake and Typhoon with his crutch.

Childhood was great
