You guys might have seen yesterday’s “10 Most Memorable Tag Team” article. And as I usually do, I try not to rank lists because I’d rather just let the viewers decide which ones they like best.
However, after some thinking….actually no, after seeing this video while I was pretty sure these guys were the most badass tag team ever, now I’m 100% convinced. First of all they had the best move ever (Doomsday Device). Second of all they were in the movie BodySlam, which was amazing. And lastly, just look at these guys.
Remember when pro wrestling was (seemed) real? Remember when it was the WWF and not the WWE? At least when I was around 5-10 years old it sure felt real.
I mean some of these guys used to scare the hell out of me. I remember being legitimately nervous when George the Animal Steel used to want to have sex with Queen Elizabeth.
Of course now you look back at the size of these guys, realize how funny their uniforms were, and know that the reasons most of these guys aren’t here today was because of one too many steroids, pain killers, or amphetamines taken.
Then again, that won’t stop me from compiling a list of memorable tag teams from my youth.
You ever see a movie or watch clips on the internet that contain famous pornstars doing pornstar things? Oh my bad, I didn’t realize I was the only one who watched smut. But sometimes, after a while you get tired of the amazingly hot girls. Sure, I love my Audrey Bitoni’s of the world, but on occasion it’s nice to see a normal chick in a skin flick. Not someone who is basically perfect looks and body wise. Once in a while I need the no name, normal girls who even I could pick up in a bar.
Well, it’s the same with this concept. You watch the ladies of the WWE for long enough and your mind becomes jaded. 90% of them are hot, have great bodies and it starts to irritate the senses. But this little wrestling league in Berwyn, Illiois is like the Amateur porn of women’s wrestling and I love every bit of it.
I wish I knew some of the wrestler’s names but they’re probably along the lines of “The Period Popper” and “Menstrual Mindy.” Some of these girls are actually kind of hot.
As I was watching Kimbo Slice virtually rip a guy’s ear off this weekend, it dawned on me that he has a striking resemblance to one of my all-time favorite wrestlers: The Junkyard dog.
They may not look exactly the same but come on. Kimbo moved his way up through internet backyard fighting. The guy fought anywhere, anytime in pretty strange conditions. It’s just a JYD vibe.
The Junkyard Dog’s real name was Sylvester Ritter. Unofrtunately Ritter passed away in 1998 (in a car crash, not steroids) but it would have been amazing if this guy came out and managed Kimbo Slice posing as his father.
I think the only fair thing to do would be to have Kimbo Slice start wearing a giant chain around his neck, a shirt immortalizing the JYD, and his new walk out song to be “Another One Bites the Dust.”
First of all, I had no idea that Roddy Piper was still alive. Secondly, isn’t it strange how pro wrestlers do one of two things in their careers?
They either die, or they wrestle until they’re at least 75 years old. In any event, this clip is pretty entertaining and it makes me long for the days where I was fully convinced wrestling was real.
Just a few names to jog your memory: Superfly Snuka, Jake the Snake, Koko B. Ware, The Dragon Steamboat, Macho Man. This list can go on forever, but I long for these days to come back.
P.S. What the hell is Carlito’s Cabana? Come on guys. Nothing will ever compare to the Piper’s Pit. Nothing. They need more guys like Ivan Putski to come back.
For the same reason that women can sit back and completely be in a hypnotized trance when watching “Gossip Girl” or “The Hills,” us guys need a show that can basically turn our eyes to mush and let us be morons for an hour.
Enter “Chick Fight TV.” I recently stumbled across these pictures and stemming from the archives of G.L.O.W (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) I’m hoping that Chick Fight TV makes it into the mainstream.
