Spritenaut 32 Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Was it 1972 when Mach got dressed that morning?
Matt D Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 I wish I could have made this gif 15 seconds longer too. He just keeps on doing the squawking and the strutting after the match. Wrestling really is poetry.
Matt D Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 This episode of Wrestling Spotlight is a lot of fun. 1

BurningBeard Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 I wish he'd attempted to claw his opponents eyes out. Then pecked at them afterwords. Or had a spike on the heel of his boot like this hidden foreign object that he'd use in desperation. Then I remember Red Rooster wasn't some mentally unhinged heel, he was an embarrassed babyface 4
Roman Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Big Boss Man in Japan was fantastic. I wish he spent some more time there. 3
MushroomJones Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Pre-Rooster Terry Taylor also used the sharpshooter as a finish in WWF
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 The "Rooster Wing" was a lifting hammerlock, sirrah, nothing as magnificent or shooty as Mr. George Steele's Flying Hammerlock which did not even need an animal related nickname. The poultry-man was doomed from the start... - RAF Behold the brilliance: 1

george young Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Posted this match in the misc matches thread. From the Indie Wrestling Archive on youtube. TLC match featuring Vinny Massaro and some guys. 2
PetrolCB Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 re: Bossman in Japan What are some good matches to check out? The one above looks good, obv.
NintendoLogic Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Someone needs to make a gif of Bossman hitting Misawa with his nightstick.

PetrolCB Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks. When and how long was he there? I mean, he's still in his classic gear. Was this late in his WWF run?
AxB Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 1993. The same year DiBiase returned to AJPW... I think Dr Death might have gotten himself an unofficial 'overseas talent booker' gig at one point in there.
J.H. Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 In regards to Taylor as Red Rooster, he used the Sharpshooter originally as "The Cock of The Walk", one of the worst named finishers ever! He won the feud with Brawler with ti if I remember correctly James

Doc painting his face and working tours of Japan as Great Muta Grande would have been a license to print money.
