Jerry Hattrick Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Maybe its just me but I think the cage match pic is awesome. Any idea when/where it was? Went through a folder on my computer full of wrestling photos. Found some good ones. Maybe I'll upload some more tomorrow. Sorry for the huge post, but whatever. I get an 80's/90's Japan Wrestling video game vibe from this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Not going to quote the whole thing, but I love the pic of Terry Funk using his Fire Breath Attack against the Sheik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Classic time: I thought the implication he would be raped in the CITY jail was funny. Like when Hans Moleman was executed in the city jail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I can think of one particular time period when it worked in the U.S. Sure, towards the end of his career when he basically stayed in one place. I thought that was a Vader reference. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Add me to the list of people that approve the goofy CAGE MATCH graphic. Also, the missile dropkick that is, apparently, done while skydiving from space. Not going to quote the whole thing, but I love the pic of Terry Funk using his Fire Breath Attack against the Sheik. Is it a shot of Funk breathing fire, or of the Sheik throwing a fireball? Either way it's pretty nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I used to have that match. I think it was a Hayabusa comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Territorial Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 ROAD HOUSE SIG! YES! "A polar bear fell on me." To go with one of this month's themes: Awful looking moonsault. No wonder they never let him do it on TV. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SovietShooter Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Maybe its just me but I think the cage match pic is awesome. Any idea when/where it was? Went through a folder on my computer full of wrestling photos. Found some good ones. Maybe I'll upload some more tomorrow. Sorry for the huge post, but whatever. Riverfront Coliseum (now known as US Bank Arena) was built in the late 1970s and featured that type of multicolored seating, which was designed to hide open seats in crowd shots. With that said, I do not think this is that building, but that pegs the time period down to 1975-1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
