jaedmc Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 That's the kind of joke Jerry Lawler would tell and the match would have started and ended by the time he was finished. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I see the thought process of this thread has become "only two days until the end of the month. I can't live with a locked thread for that long." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bink_winkleman Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Ok, let's talk about how this is on the short list for greatest entrances ever: I can't stop watching this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Having watched it several hundred times, along with other Grado entrances, fuck a shortlist, Grado has *THE* Greatest Entrance in Wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I actually never want to see him wrestle, because I'm afraid it won't live up to that kind of entrance. However, he's on my shortlist with these Senegalese Wrestlers, which I think is a great honor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 did the WWF ever pair Lawler and Monsoon on commentary for even a show or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 If you're talking about the twitter exchange with Cornette, then yes. Russo comes across as a rational person who's willing to mend bridges and Cornette comes off as either a maniac who needs therapy or a guy who knows that part of his current gimmick is to never stop wishing death on the guy and isn't gonna kill one of his golden geese gimmicks to work the "smarts". Jim Cornette was being flippant to an insincere, condescending douchebag. When two old, out-of-touch wrestling bookers are having a slapfight over Twitter, there are no winners in the comparison really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 did the WWF ever pair Lawler and Monsoon on commentary for even a show or two? Don't think so. By the time Lawler was doing more than just Superstars commentary, Monsoon was pretty much off commentary and producing the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 That Grado entrance is pretty cool, but he's no Genki Sudo or Atsushi Onita. Now those dudes knew how to make an entrance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time Lawler was doing more than just Superstars commentary, Monsoon was pretty much off commentary and producing the show. and Monsoon was moved from PBP to Color Commentary by late-93/94-ish too?

That is correct... http://youtu.be/zn7cFGXHvqo That's pretty badass, but I can't help but feel that Charlie Sheen did it a little better. The sitting and smoking was awesome. That said, on the flip side of this, the worst entrance ever may have been when Big Show would come to the ring in WCW smoking and the cigarette looked super tiny in his massive fingers.

So relaxed, a complete lack of fucks followed by leaving to go to WWF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Charlie fucking Sheen? You must be joking. Onita was the goods. I used to blast that shit so the whole neighborhood knew whenever I'd got a new tape from George Mayfield... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 is Chono retired now? I'm completely out of touch with puro from the point Misawa died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I would think so, I think he was only a few years younger than Onita (who is my age, 57) so Chono is probably pushing fifty or in his early fifties. Yeah, I sort of stopped following Japan when the great man died, but Tanahashi brought me back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I sort of stopped following Japan when the great man died, but Tanahashi brought me back... Oddly, Onita still wrestles somewhat regularly but Chono hasn't wrestled yet this year. He hasn't 'officially' retired yet, I'd think he'd have a big show when he does but Kawada didn't so who knows. Chono is only 50 but very very broken.
