RIPPA Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 There are a bunch of names with birthdays today (Christian, Liger, Zenk, Naomi, etc..) so of course I pick the guy who died 13 years ago today. And again - this is Mr. Wrestling TIM WOODS not JOHNNY WEAVER. So yeah - I am sure I will fuck up that footage about a half a dozen times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAN Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 One day, someone will find and post the Tim Woods vs Johnny Valentine feud where Valentine breaks Woods leg from not breaking the figure four after Woods submits- which is sooooo fucking great because Woods is like, "That's what I get for giving up"- which leads directly into Woods donning the mask so the Anderson brothers couldn't feed off the pain in his face. Tim Woods was fucking great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Woods was fucking great. Fuck you, Dean, for tearing the stitches off of old unhealed wounds. I saw that match on TV as a kid and fucking wept buckets for hours after witnessing Woods howling in pain after kayfabe getting his leg broken. I recall my comic book collection growing by five issues thanks to my parents's attempt to cheer me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 So, some guy is running the Mr. Wrestling gimmick in the indies. Is he doing it with the blessing of his predecessors? You'd have thought that Vince would've bought the gimmick and turned into the WWE response to the Tiger Mask gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was seared into my mind 42 years ago and I can picture it like it happened yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 There are a lot of "you thought Vince would have" moments How do you own all of the old JCP footage and not have a Mr. Wrestling legacy gimmick in your fed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have thought that Vince would've bought the gimmick and turned into the WWE response to the Tiger Mask gimmick. If I'm right, that's Steve Corino working as Mr. Wrestling III and he got the blessing of Johnny Walker, aka, Mr. Wrestling II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Mr. Sports Entertainment? I see why Mr. Wrestling X calls himself that. He looks like 5 Johnny Walkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Mr. Sports Entertainment? I see why Mr. Wrestling X calls himself that. He looks like 5 Johnny Walkers. I'm sure he can down a lot of Johnnie Walker. Maybe instead of Mr. Wrestling X, he should have went with Mr. Wrestling XXXL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
