I remember. They wore those hideous red sport jacket things to the ring. edit: Remember "Strikeforce", the tag team of Tito Santana and Rick Martel?
That 2nd Demolition was horrible, with Crush. Wasn't there a tag-team called the "Powers of Pain"? The Hart Foundation were great. Same for the British Bulldogs. Man the tag-team divisions back then were great. They actually consisted of tag-teams, rather than pairing up 2 singles wrestlers ie. Kane and RVD, Goldust and Booker, etc.
The Powers of Pain came to the WWF after a very long and successful stint in the old NWA (which became WCW). They feuded for years over the NWA tag belts with Hawk and Animal, the Road Warriors. This was back when the Legion of Doom was the name of the stable rather than the team. The British Bulldogs were a fantastic team. Sadly, Davey Boy is dead and the Dynamite Kid is crippled due to years of pounding in the ring. When I say crippled I mean he can't walk without a cane.
IIRC, didn't LOD and POP, have similar looking ring attire? Hell throw in Demolition too. They all looked alike. Remember "Slick"? I remember reading a long time ago that he became a Priest. Whatever happened to Brother Love?
Of course I remember "the Doctor of Style." Brother Love was portrayed by Bruce Pritchard. He currently works for WWE in a talent development role. There was an idea thrown around a year ago to bring Brother Love back as Bubba Ray, D-Von and Spike's dad. That idea was scrapped.
Remember the Mountie? I remember that one PPV against Big Boss Man, where the loser of the match had to go to jail. And the Mountie was stuck in jail with some big, gay guy. It was pretty hilarious. Especially at the time, when the WWF was more family-oriented back in 1991 or 1992.
Not only do I remember the Mountie...I remember when he was known as Jaques Rougeau and he tag teamed with his brother Raymond.
Oh ya, the Quebecers! I remember how they sung their song before the match! If that's what you're talking about. Nevermind, I think you're talking about the OLD SCHOOL tag team, managed by Jimmy Hart? What was there name again? Wasn't Dino Bravo an ally of them?
Actually Brother Love just showed up last Thursday on Smackdown. He was under the Scream costume and Angle unmasked him to his famous "I LOOOOOOOVVVVEEEE YOOOOOOUUUU!" I marked out I admit it. Anyway, if they want to make Flair a full time manager and mentor type character I guess I'd go with something like: HHH- egomaniac supreme and eternal World Champ contender until something on him bursts during a roid rage; Batista-do not, repeat DO NOT, let him talk. Have him be the silent intimidator and let Flair talk for him. Orton- Kinda skinny looking but a year of HHH's "workout program" *nudge nudge wink wink* and he would be a talented up and comer. Needs to become cleaner in the ring, his moves tend to be a bit sloppy. and, as Orton's tag team partner: I present John Cena. While he's stuck on Smackdown as Rikishi's Vanilla Ice impersonator/jobber, they could send him over as part of the Big Show trade. If they don't want to do that (and want to cover for Batista's greeness), have Batista tag with Orton as neccessary and bring in Rhyno as the secondary solo wrestler. With no secondary title (thank HHH for declaring the Intercontinental Title "beneath" him) it's not as important nowadays. Only problem with that is with Rhyno coming off a year long rehab the fans will tend to be sympathetic and cheer him (fans with a long memory will also remember he was starting to turn face when he was "suspended" by Shane McMahon near the end of the Invasion). If I were booking I already have something else for Rhyno, but this seems to be a viable alternative.
I was watching the opening of Smackdown! and I saw a sign that said Moochie Norris. Anybody else catch it?
Nope...good catch though. Good show overall tonight (and on Tuesday as well)...what did you all think?
In non-WWE new, well, they ARE former performers of the league, I found the following: Chyna, X-Pac Engaged To Be Married Joanie Laurer (Chyna) and Sean Waltman (X-Pac) are now engaged to be married. Laurer announced the news on her website and said that the two got engaged two weeks ago. http://www.411wrestling.com/news/newsboard.php?news_id=4812 Who wouldve thunk it?
Will he be wearing those damned moon boot looking boots he would always wear to the ring at the wedding? Will they play each performer's ring music rather than the traditional music? Will they get Brother Love or Reverend D-Von to preside? I have a really horrible mental image of what the ceremony will look like.
I remember when HHH was rumored to be with Chyna, several years ago... I guess the other Clique member ended up with her... Chyna could prob beat up X-Pac. She looks a lot better now, than she did in the WWF.
OMG BROCK F5 BIG SHOW!!!!! UNFREAKINBELIEVEABLE!!!! If he could do it to Big Show, he can do it on almost anybody. Wasnt that suprised at the end as I heard the loser needed time out to rest his injury. (didnt wanna spoil it for the others)
Welp, so not to spoil anything, I will refrain from mentioning any results in the important matches. I was actually fairly impressed with the PPV, it looked like most everyone busted their @sses for the crowd. The table match was entertaining, with my personal highlight being Rico yelling at Jeff for missing a spot LOL. The women put on a match that was better than I expected, which was actually quite a bit since I thought they could both do some good things. The tag champ match went pretty much how I expected, allowing the actual team to carry the belts and everyone else to go their separate ways. I DO NOT like how either big match went, although one I can see why they did what they did (someone needed a few weeks off) and will make for an awfully fun rematch. Still should have gone longer though. The other one was same old same old. Hey Smeg, it didn't go how I thought, but the end result is the same-the people who started off in power stayed in power . Anyway, I'll go ahead and tune in to RAW (I'm such a sheep), if for no other reason then to see how they cover for someone's injury (he got his throat busted-uh). I will offer further penatrating and overly bitter analysis then.
