odessasteps Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I love how the Cowboy outsmarts Slater in that angle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 7 hours ago, Cobra Commander said: not sure how long Buzz Sawyer and Rick Steiner remained together, but that seems like a pairing that rubbed off on Rick in a few ways Steiner was around during the very end of the Irish McNeil Boys Club days but as a mostly milquetoast JTTS though he was never fully squashed, commentary would put over his athletic potential, and you could tell that potential was there. But yeah, there is definitely a "flip switch" that turns on with how he handles himself in the ring once he starts hanging around Buzz, the "eating jobbers alive" aspect of what the Steiners would ultimately become definitely starts up around then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Speaking of George Wells, you gotta be pretty trusting to do a rana on a WWF job guy in 1985 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OIsuCyXoEg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zendragon Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Adonis in Portland, this is mentioned in the Flowers for Adrian book. I've never seen any Portland so that makes this doubly interesting to me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 not sure how many WWF matches are onlne for Edouard Carpentier but he really worked like an old man who ran a martial arts academy in a strip mall. Probably one of those styles that might get old if he was on TV every week but occasional matches from a guy who looked like Benny Hill and would do flips would be fresh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v4IJTrOOw8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 More Portland footage, interesting to me as Portland is kinda one of those territories that time forgot (aside from MJF'sBetter than Piper in Portland comment) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I saw Buddy Rose for the first time on one of the Shawn DVD sets tagging with Somers against the Rockers, and my first thought was “where have they been hiding this guy?” PWO has some tremendous write-ups about him. This is more of an oddity than anything else, but I love that it exists: Buddy and Hogan in Japan teaming against Fujinami and Yatsu. Hogan later main evented the WWF Wrestledream show with Yatsu, presumably because they were familiar with each other from the early 80s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Nope. It was a joint show and Yatsu was Tenryu's #2 in SWS, which is why. I'm sure the familiarity didn't hurt of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Buddy Rose in Portland is one of my favorite acts. He was an incredible heel and his face turn against Oliver's Clan when all the kids rush the ring is an all time moment for me. Not a match but I have to post it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
