Why do people keep insisting on swinging at John Cena after he does 3 shoulder blocks to them? Just go with it dammit! Why did Kidman's opponents keep trying to powerbomb him, especially those that never used a powerbomb? Why did Rey's opponents sit and wait for the 619?

Target does, at least, I saw them last month while buying a PS4 controller. I assume the Sev still has them too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hogan Justice Warrior would have been great as a stable involving Hogan, Sid, and Warrior, three men forming an uneasy alliance after the Heenan Family, Harvey Whippleman's crew, and Jimmy Hart's crew agree to what they call the Unholy Alliance to wipe out all of their enemies. Oh, and what makes their alliance "unholy" is that they recruit Paul Bearer and The Undertaker to their cause as well. Just imagine Vince's intro to the 1991 Survivor Series! TEAM CAPTAINS HULK HOGAN AND THE UNNNNNNNNNDERTAKER TEAM UP WITH THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR, KAMALA, SID JUSTICE, PAPA SHANNNNGO, MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE, AND THE NATURE BOY RIC FLAIR...IT'S THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE VERSUS HJW! IT'S THE SURVIIIIIVOR SERIES! I wouldn't mind visiting the alternate universe where that happened to watch that match on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching way too much WCW, it was like a 40/60 success rate. They were stunned by the fall on the rope. Sting only really trusted Flair once. In 95 he refused to team with him multiple times until Flair used kids. Sting still did not trust Flair and vowed to beat Flair senseless if he betrayed him. Which he ended up doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like the crook throwing his gun at Superman. Though some heels did get out during an early Hulk Up. Also bear in mind a lot of Hulk's foes were large men. So running was not an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Did anyone ever just try kicking him in the dick? I still remember Rumble 94 - Bigelow/Tatanka, Tatanka started doing his war dance/hulk up, Bigelow just shrugged and enziguiri'd him in the back of the head. It was glorious. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't personal but business. In 90 Flair was waiting for Sting to heal to lose the title. In 91, Herd was trying to screw Flair on money Barry Windham holds more of a grudge on the business in 91. Flair was asked to drop it to Barry who would lose it to Lex. Being champion had been dream for Barry. Barry also felt Flair insulted everyone on the roster by taking it to the WWF. According to Arn, Barry Windham was just happy to have a fast car and a pretty woman. I love Barry Windham, he and Steamboat were my two favorites as a kid. That said, he wasted his talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADCAP Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Maybe is wasn't wasted talent, rather he was just a free spirit doing what he wanted to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the Clash where Flair and Arn took on Austin and Pillman. Barry ended up attacking Flair and cut the best promo of his career. Saying Flair disgraced that belt once and he would be damned if it happened again. 7 hours ago, Adam said: It could also be explained along the lines of 'Well those other guys couldn't stop him hulking up, but I know that I CAN!!' before of course not. Some of the later pre 89 Savage and Bundy matches involved them trying to work around the Hulk Up. But the problem was if you don't go for the kill, Hulk is still a big strong wrestler. Go for the kill and he accesses the Hulk Up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think saying Barry Windham wasted his talent is a bit severe. Was he all that he could have been in terms of career? No. Was he the best in the world at some point and consistently delivered? Absolutely 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Most Wrestlers would kill to have the career Barry had from like 1987 to 1994. Widowmaker aside, those were some pretty damn good prime years for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I saw that was Bigelow/Headshrinkers vs. Tatanka/Smokin' Gunns at SummerSlam '94 (which is a HIGHLY underrated match, just for the triple diving headbutt spot). I remember sitting there thinking "Why the heck hasn't anyone else thought of that before?" If I had to hazard a guess, Flair's issues are sounding heart-related - surgery could've been as simple as putting a stent in. My own father went through the same thing a couple of years ago and it was scary for a bit (especially since the nurse accidentally triggered his vagus nerve shortly after surgery and caused him to faint in front of us on the hospital bed - it only lasted about ten seconds but those ten seconds were an eternity) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
