Jerry Hattrick Posted August 16, 2013 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.
elizium Posted August 16, 2013 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.
Pete Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Porky was sooooo fucking awesome back then, even with the extra weight.
Victator Posted August 17, 2013 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
Kuetsar Posted August 17, 2013 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. . .
Death From Above Posted August 17, 2013 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.
Death From Above Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Also speaking of crazy fire pictures: 2
Ace Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 I used to have that match. I think it was a Hayabusa comp.
Territorial Posted August 17, 2013 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
Death From Above Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 It's from the same Kawasaki stadium show with the Kudo vs. Combat Toyota deathmatch everyone raves about.

Trebor Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 The Mountie looks like a jacked Matt Damon in those pictures.
SovietShooter Posted August 18, 2013 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.
Burgundy LaRue Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 HHH standing on a tank wearing those trunks in that pose will be the stuff of nightmares.
piranesi Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Man, Taker really got in touch with his feminine side after that first WM match with HHH.
Gonzalez Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 It's like he got pushed off the top of a building to his death, but instead of screaming, he did a super cool pose instead. 2
