When Wrestling was Fun

Layton never wasted an old suit. He would jump into the ring to save a good guy in trouble only to have his suit ripped off by the bad guys.

He would wave his hand around poised for a karate chop to defend himself during interviews
with The Sheik and The Wiesel.

Scott Simpson (Nikita Koloff) today, working with Ric Flair made him a monster heel.

Vince McMahon wanted both Barry Darstow (Crusher Kruschev) and Scott Simpson as Demolition. Simpson was loyal to Ivan Koloff and wouldn't leave, as such Demolition became a poor man's version of The Road Warriors.

Bobby Heenan was one of the funniest guys in wrestling...

I always enjoyed how whatever the set piece was - a wrestler out on a picnic, watching a movie, having coffee - it would always turn into a brawl lol.

If I remember, when he showed up in WCW a few weeks later, he was still carrying the suitcase from this scene.
Because the man was a fucking professional.

Piper's commentary here is great.

greatest promo ever.

Cactus Jack was a great promo, especially during his "anti-hardcore" run in ECW.

Macho Man has got to be up there with the best mike skills..

Supposed no wrestler ever had anything bad to say about James Harris (Kamala), the heat with Andre the Giant was a shoot. Andre recommended him to McMahon. Later in life he had health issues but he still looked after his abandoned niece.
