2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

I agree, the height/size thing is ridiculous. Nash actually had some of his best matches against Bret Hart who wasn't a "big man".

 

That guy creeped me out as a kid.

 

Which one? El Jigante or the little guy?

 

Ha. Giant Gonzalez.

But then I saw him -- or someone who looked exactly like him -- on an episode of Baywatch once, and it was all good.

It was him:

 

His first suit made him look naked:

 

That was what was so weird about his schtick. Most of the really tall big men didn't have physique, and still don't for the most part. They are generally fat. Outside of guys like Razor Ramon, and Big Daddy Diesel. Hell, the most buff Giant I can think of only came around recently, Kahli. So, how bad did he look for them to have to paint muscles on his gear? Because it looks hideous.

 

I recall he wasn't grossly out of shape, like Andre was for the last 7, 8 years of his career. or Giant Silvio, who was totally useless. Gigante was in decent shape, he just couldn't work a lick.

He had some decent matches with Flair, which, if nothing else, proved that Flair could really have a great match with a broom.

I remember seeing that stupid muscle suit on him, and I wondered why the fuck would they make a super-giant guy look like such a cartoon-like laughingstock. His height would have made him a threat anyways.

 

The painted muscles thing struck me as something Vince McMahon thought up, like the Red Rooster and the Gobbledy Gooker. Sometimes, Vince apparently gets an earworm about something and just won't let it go.

 

I can only imagine if Gonzalez actually suited up for the Hawks, by whom he was drafted in the NBA back when there were a boatload of rounds.

 

One of the biggest scumbags in all of wrestling.

Nash was a never-was, boring, bland, big-man who couldn't work. McMahon found 'em a dime-a-dozen.

That he would insult two of the greatest in-ring workers of all-time is quite ironic.

What an unadulterated puke.

 

Given his insecure statements about a group of wrestlers who are collectively more popular than him, it's no wonder Nash has anxiety attacks. Insecure.

 

The guy who constantly brags about how smart he is? No way...
