WWE Hall of Fame
Although I loved professional wrestling when I was a kid back in the 60’s and early 70’s, I haven’t regularly watched it since my sons lost interest more than a few years ago. Still, I enjoy seeing clips of old matches/interviews and reading biographies of professional wrestlers. You wouldn’t believe some of the stories — and that’s just the ones that they’ll share!
Last night the WWE Hall of Fame Inductions included “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Ricky “”The Dragon” Steamboat, “Cowboy” Bill Watts, Dory and Terry Funk, announcer Howard Finkle and the Von Erich family.
Here’s a bit of trivia: Did you know that “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is set to co-star with Sly in The Expendables and Terry Funk had featured roles in Sly’s Paradise Alley and Over the Top?
i saw this i got emotional when austin came out, he could be my favorite wrestler ever.
Yeah, Stone Cold was a crowd pleaser. I just purchased an autographed copy of my favorite wrestler’s bio — Blackjack Mulligan. Now he was old school!
Austin is probably the last of the genuine Hall of Famers. Don’t see anyone around now who is really ‘legit’ like those guys were.
What on earth happened to the WWE, I think its died through having no competition – no WCW in particular. The whole brand thing has never worked IMO.
Here in the UK I was at SummerSlam 1992 when my personal fave Randy Savage defended the WWF Title against the Ultimate Warrior – awesome!
