I know his stalling was legendary but that works when you are in the arena live and have nowhere to go. As a little kid, I can't tell you how many ESPN shows I switched channels on once I figured out that Larry was going to spend five minutes stalling. And sometimes I didn't go back. And he really did seem to spend the 80s living off the Bruno angle. Austin, Eaton, Anderson, Rude, Zbyszko. If this is all-inclusive, Bobby Eaton in Memphis (and World Class) destroys Arn's pre-Crockett career. Larry's legacy won't be drawing houses, that I'm fairly certain of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you see Joey Janela vs David Starr from July this year? Totally different style in that it's a 2019 holy shit spot match (no DQ/ Countout, 60 minutes), but a case could be made that it outdoes Rude and Steamboat. Depending on which style you prefer. It's on the internet for free. Look in 2019 matches thread, last page. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryArchieGus Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Does anybody know the contract status of Chris Hero, or Cassius Ono, and Cesaro? These guys have to be two of the all time most misused talents in the long terrible history of titan sports. Obviously I, like most, look forward to the day they make a move elsewhere.

nofuture Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Chris Hero is mostly a player/coach at NXT so I don't think he's going anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I liked the Jarrett/Roadie pairing in WWF. I also enjoyed chauvinist pig Jarrett in the Attitude era. Both were just the right kind of goofy I like in my wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Great Justice Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 One of the best Jarrett matches I've seen that hasn't been mentioned yet is the one against Jay Lethal from TNA TV. Very good "traveling champion" style match with a great finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man...when Hero left NXT the first time he had just an amazing indy run. I can't blame the guy for taking the money instead of the grind on what's surely the downside of his career, but he's one of my all time favorites and I selfishly wish he'd have one more set of indy matches. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am totally agreed on this. Rude getting cocky and choking victory away is amazing. Actually, my two favorite WCW matches ever both happened in this year: Rude/Steamboat Iron Man and Sting/Vader King of Cable. Yeah, it's been four or five years, time to go back to YouTube and watch a bunch of 1992 WCW over the next couple of weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 WCW was so good in the early to mid 90s. Then they signed that baldness denying tangerine skinned racist and he ruined everything. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but by the Nitro/ 83 weeks era, they'd gone to a 75% good wrestling 25% charismatic old men ratio. Whereas when Hogan first came in, it went from 90% good wrestling to like 2%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
