2008 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Since we’re on the subject of skits, what are some of the all-time favorites on this message board?

I liked when The Undertaker put the Ultimate Warrior in an “air-tight” coffin. That skit nearly scarred me as a kid.

I enjoyed all the Ric Flair angles involving the women of his opponents. The Jimmy Garvin-Precious hotel skit and the Randy Savage-Elizabeth pictures are memorable ones that come to mind.

All the Mr. Perfect skits, nailing 100 three-pointers, throwing the football 70 yards, making a perfect dive, were pretty good. I think Henning had real pro athletes in those skits that would say, “Wow, he really is perfect!’’

Mick Foley in ECW had some great interviews about being hardcore. One time he spit on his WCW tag belt to make a point. Pretty good stuff.

 

Didn't Big Bossman also feed Al Snow his dog? I remember having Taco Bell that night from dinner, and I think that was during the "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" dog days. Made me think twice a little bit that night.

One of the more recent skits (OK, 10 years ago) I think had to be when the Undertaker, at the foundation of his Ministry, was crucifying people on his symbol. I think Dennis Knight was the first. That was some creepy stuff.

 

I tune in to watch the Motor City Machine Guns then flip the channel. Those two guys are fast becoming my favorite tag team. I hope TNA doesn't waste them like it is wasting Samoa Joe.

 

I saw those two at a ROH show against the Briscoes. ***** match without a doubt.

 

Favorite Raw moment: The night Austin drove the Zamboni, lost control and crashed it into the ring. Then in the same segment, Undertaker and Kane beat on Vince, then as Vince is put in an ambulance, Foley offers him a drink.

Other great moments: The Ted DiBiase 'Everyone's got a price!" skits, especially the famous one of him kicking the basketball away from the little kid. And of course, the Piper's Pits.

 

Absolutely loved the night when DX came into the ring and mimicked the Nation.

And when Austin came out with the beer truck and sprayed the McMahons (and also Kurt Angle doing the same with the milk truck a couple years later).

 

Ah, Buddy Rose. Also did a WWF skit where he sells Blow Away, a powder you put on your belly and blew the pounds away when you blew the powder off. I also remember him being introduced at a "slim and trim 219 pounds" or something like that, when he was easily over three bills. But the man could play his role. A poor man's Adrian Adonis.

 

The Observer comes out today that has the news of the "former seven-figure and multi-time World champion is close to returning to the WWE."

I think he wants us to believe it might be Hulk Hogan, but no freaking way. It has to be Big Show, who I believe signed a $1 million deal when he left WCW.

 

I'd laugh if it was Booker T.

If the seven figures includes the ones after the decimal point, it could be Tommy Rich.

 

How about Sid Vicious?

 

It's Show.

...sadly.
