While tidying up the attick the other day i found some of my old WWF posters.

Ultimate Warrior.
Jake the Snake.
Bushwackers.

Anyone remember anyold favorites, or onesthat may still be around under adifferent alies...relive the past.

[Diablos]

I remember Bushwhackers. I have a postcard of them.

[-Parasite-]

Ultimate Warrior, yeah, mad wrestler, I heard he tried to make a comeback once, early 90's, but I believe it only lasted a couple of months or so.

Remember the tag team of Ted D'Biase "The Million Dollar Man" & Andre The Giant (RIP ;( )

How about "The Legion of Doom", they would have smashed any of the Tag Team holders of today.

Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, can't say I ever liked the guy.

Who was Hulk Hogan's best m8 during the 80's (Bruce something... i think), he always carried around those hedgeclippers... then he turned heel on Hogan and the fans for some reason, anyone know why?

It seems that all the old wrestlers from the 80's have ended up at WCW, like Macho Man Randy Savage, Brett Hart & Hogan. Only The Undertaker and The Big Boss Man seem to have survived the 90's at the WWF.

Like PhoeChiMalkieGal said, any old wrestlers knocking about now under new names?

[Diablos]

Who were those 2 that wore red armour-like suits with black spikes?

They were cool.

[BombBomb]

The Legion of Doom ;)

Cool choices...I also liked Brutus Befcake, he was well funny, and The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. :E

[-Parasite-]

'Legion of Doom' were the one's with the red armour and black spikes.

[Diablos]

Thanx both of you.

Remember Doink? He was daft.

[-Parasite-]

Ahhh, cheers BombBomb,

Brutus Beefcake, I wasn't too far off with Bruce :)

Do you know why he turned heel at all, 'cos I remember watching the show where he turned on Hogan and went bad. That was pretty much the last time I watched the WWF until March this year. Whatever happened to him?

[-Parasite-]

Doink, that name rings a bell. Can't place him though :(

[Diablos]

He was the daft clown with big green hair.

[-Parasite-]

ahhh, the mists of time have cleared, I remember him now.

[Diablos]

Yep, he was strange.

[sjs]

Jake the snake was cool. :)

Hmm..who else can I remember.....

Earthquake,
Typhoon (used to be called Tugboat I think until he teamed up with Earthquake).
Sid Justice (later to be known as Psycho Sid)
Mr. Perfect
SuperFly Jimmy Snuka (sp?)
Razor Ramon, although hes fairly recent compared to some of the above.
The Rockers, where Shawn Michaels first turned up.
Demolition (I think that was the first time Crush turned up in the WWF too)

Cant think of anymore at present. :(

Everything was so much simpler then, there were good guys and bad guys. The good guys would usually get the hell kicked out of them until the main events where they'd have their revenge. :)

[PhoeChiMalkieGal]

I remember the Rockers wit Sean Michaels Gawd damn what was his partners name.

Yokezuna
Sparkplug

jake the snakes lil pet snake DAMIEN was so cool..i always wanted a python after that.

[sjs]

The other half of the rockers was Marty Jannety (sp?).

[Johnny A Bravo]

Isn't Sparkpug now Hardcore Holly?
I saw a pic of sparkplug once = Hardcore Holly with a mullet.

[Parasite-old]

Sid Justice (later to be known as Psycho Sid) - is he now Sid Vicious in WCW? Or is that guy completely different.

Anyone else think that Stone Cold (WWF) and Goldberg (WCW) look kinda similar?

[Divebomb]

Bob "Sparkplug" Holly is Hardcore Holly...
Sid has been known as Psycho Sid/Sid Justice/Sid Vicious
Austin and Goldberg are NOT the same :p

My fav old wrestler was definitely the Ultimate Warrior, I'll always remember watching a Survivor Series (around about 1990 I think) before school and Warrior LOST to Sgt. Slaughter and I was REALLY mad :mad:

LOL

Jake the Snake rocked too... Anyone remember his feuds with "The Model" Rick Martel? Rick Martel always used to last AGES in the rumble too, he'd always be clinging onto the ropes the whole time... Kinda like what Road Dogg does now :)

[BombBomb]

Hacksaw Jim Duggan was a nutta :E

Texas Tornado (unfortunately now dead I believe...I think his family had a long line of suicides or something)

The Mountie ("ALWAYS GETSSSSS HIS MANNNNNNN") - Oo cattle prod

Big Boss Man, still here, but still cool.

Andre the Giant, God rest his soul, the big man was an all time fave.

The Macho Man Randy Savage - Loved the outfits

Rowdy Roddy Piper - So blatantly un-Scottish he was cool, but a fellow countryman, naaaaaaah...

------------------

Managers - Ahhh, the old Ringside posse...

Jimmy Hart - Gotta love this guy :)

Paul Bearer - When he was with the Undertaker back in the old days he was great, and the 'Taker has always been me fave wrestler...

Mr Fuji - Managed the Oriental Express ;)

Slick - Sleazy guy, managed the Warlord and "Power and Glory"

The Coach - "Win. Win. Win. Break their legs. Smash their faces. Discipline. Win. Losers are losers. Winners are winners. The only people I want with me are winners." - He had one, Mr Perfect. :)

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan - he went to do broadcasting. What a guy tho.

General Adnan - Managed Sgt. Slaughter, along with Colonel Mustafa. Mean man ;(

Sensational Sherri - Shlinky :E

- And on that bombshell, :bomb::bomb: GETS TO BED!!!

:)

Oh boy, this is scarey, I actually recognised every single one of them (apart from Slick).

HHHOOOOOOOOO - gotta love Hacksaw's yell, pounding around the ring with that lump of wood (6 by 4, if i remember correctly..... prolly not).

Rik Flair, can't believe I forgot all about him, has the longest running feud i know of with Hogan, been going since the early 80's and it's still running now in WCW (though that was a few months back). Always liked the way he went over the top rope when slammed hard into a turnbuckle, and he STILL has the same hairstyle I remember from 15 years ago :laugh:

Can't believe how BIG Sgt.Slaughter has gotten, I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I first spotted him getting in the ring with the refs to break up a fight... he sure has let himself go.

[BombBomb]

Yah, Ric Flair was cool

The Sarge is still great, you little MAGGOT!

And Slick, skinny, black, long haired, like a pimp with no multicoloured stuff on :E

Or a hat ;)

[Fenix]
