The Natural Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 17 hours ago, sabremike said: Just want to point out his autobiography is one I would classify as a must read. Thanks for the recommendation of Vader's autobiography. On the subject of wrestling autobiographies, the five best for me are: 5. A Lion's Tale by Chris Jericho. 4. Walking a Golden Mile by William Regal. 3. Hitman by Bret Hart. 2. Have a Nice Day by Mick Foley. 1. Yes!: My Improbable Journey to the Main Event of WrestleMania by Daniel Bryan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I’ve really only read 1 autobiography that I didn’t like. Wrestler’s autobiographies are GOAT trip to the other side, better than any documentary or shoot or whatever. When you’re reading it, you can separate the facts from the bullhockey easy no matter what in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Speaking of Bullshit in bio's. Hogan's story about Pat Patterson trying to get him to blow him in 77 before his first match has to go on the lie list right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 So I've been watching some 90s Joshi. Specifically AJW Dream Rush from November 92, and the main event had Toyota & Yamada vs Ozaki & Kansai. Toshiyo Yamada and Dynamite Kansai, two of the harder kickers in Wrestling history. And the kicks, they go THUD, not SLAP. Now I know why wrestlers do the Thigh Slap on strikes, it gives a stiffness illusion, but seeing kicks land HARD and hearing the actual impact, it's a lot more impressive. So, who was it who introduced the Thigh Slap? Was it Tajiri, or did he just popularise it having taken it from someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Owen is thigh slapping his ass off in WWF in 93/94 so that is way before Tajiri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Okay the answer has gotta be Mr. Wrestling II slapping his opponent's back on the Million Dollar knee lift. It's distracting everytime you watch his finish cause he does it right on camera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorbladeKiss87 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I'm watching the episode of Rivals about Hogan and Piper. When was WrestleMania announced? Hogan says there was a DQ at the War to Settle the Score because Piper didn't want to do the job. Obviously that's a Hogan story. I just have never watched the TV from that era so I'm curious about the set up for the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Is thigh slapping worse than stomping when doing punches or similar strikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Hogan, so 95% yes, though at the very least Patterson really worked the show where Hogan had his first match (at least according to cagematch). On the Hogan-lie-scale this at least hits the mark "does not violate obvious facts like the laws of physics and does not require necromancy". 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with his fantasies of being the first person to do this and to do that, and slam this guy, and be the bassist in Metallica he also fantasizes about……….giving Pat a woody? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Thigh slaps were great when timed right for finishes, comebacks, etc. They were great when Tajiri started doing them every time too. It was somehow ok for him to do that every time similar to how it was ok for Curt Hennig throw himself through the air and flop. They’ve obviously gotten annoying and overdone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
