AUGUST PHOTO THREAD


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Yes that is Charlie Strong - head coach of the Longhorns Football team.

And since RAW is in Austin tonight - I am praying it means Henry and Titus finally join the New Nation

Which means SLATER GETS A BEATDOWN FROM THE NEW NATION! Glorious day!

Happy Vader is flat out weird.

Lookin' good for a fat dude pushing 60. I bet you he could still flatten a bunch of jobbers.

 

 

Yeah.......in the wrestling bubble, some folks would look at that and say Vader is older and out of shape.  But in the real world (and OK, in the wrestling world for people with eyes) that right there is the look of a man that could punch your head off your shoulders and tear your body open and use it for a sleeping bag.

Let's be fair, Vader looks more in shape there than he did 20 years ago. He's always been a heavier man.

I just looked up Vader on wikipedia and granted a lot of it probably has to do with the angle and lighting in that picture, but he looks in better shape now than he did in his later wrestling days.  Then again it also says he lost over 100 pounds a few years ago when he got really sick, which probably has something to do with that.  

 

How kayfabed were his height/weight anyways?  I know he was typically billed as 6'5" and 450 or so but he never looked that huge.

When I met Vader last year, we were about the same height and I'm 5'11ish. I'd say that Vader is a legit 6 foot.

 

Re: That Selfie

 

He should be glad Harley wasn't there this weekend. Harley would've kicked Vader's ass for taking a mirror selfie.

I had a reader recently send in several photos of the WCW Nitro Grill menu he swiped from the restaurant in 1999, pics are all here.

 

 

I am disappointed they didn't somehow have the Goldberger with bacon.  

 

I can't believe they had a wine list. Or how much I wish I could have gone to the Nitro Grill.

Were the Nitro Grill and WWF New York actually decent restaurants?

I can;t speak for the Nitro Grill, but WWF New York was fucking terrible eats.  They also sold like no merch for the wrestlers, just restaurant stuff.  The theme/inside was cool, but the food was a step under Applebees.  

 

Don't know when you were there, but I remember they had plenty of wrestlers merch (they were a few blocks from my office). Burgers were good too.
