That's bullshit. Chewy comes in once a year for a WM payday. He doesn't respect the business. He doesn't give a shit about the boys busting their ass on the road, working Sunday double-shots, not being home for the holidays, numbing themselves with every substance under the sun in order to keep working, so they can keep their spot. When these guys are broke and crippled, will Chewy be there to help with their medical bills or repair their broken relationships? Tell Chewbacca to fuck Chewbacca. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe this is the first time I've heard of this idea.

LP Steve Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 9 hours ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: I had the Remco AWA Ric Flair and Larry Zbyszko two-pack. I got them for my 8th birthday. Before that, I had the LJN figures. Then it was the WWF Hasbro figures starting with the first series in 1990. The Hasbro figures were my favorite. One of my favorite matches to have was Smash vs. Repo Man. Flair looks suspiciously like Fred Blassie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 We were first board going or close to it with the Mark Henry love. A monster and a monster who can talk. Hall of Pain Henry was my favourite version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only the name, but Mark plays the Undertaker as more of a extremely giddy about his job, Undertaker rather than the Lurch/Clint Eastwood character he’d end up playing. He also drooled a lot.

Ryan Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 He should have kept the body bag gimmick. I'm surprised Russo didn't make him a necropheliac in the late 90's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose a favorite depends on when you grew up, but man, I loved those Hasbros (with the Galoobs mixed in). The hours I spent putting cards together: I had one of those tri-fold presentation boards (like kids used for school projects) and would pin up the match cards using WWF/WCW trading cards. I also had notebooks full of event cards I ran. I went back about 10 years ago and re-bought the entire collection. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this too with a whiteboard my grandmother scored from her office when she retired. I'd sit there with a bunch of markers trying to draw the SummerSlam logo and shit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undertaker just had the pull to veto it or the sense to threaten McMahon with retirement and/or going to WCW each time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
