"How did he kick out of my belly to back suplex?!" 2 6

Never get the sense of menace the fine gentlemen you listed would evoke, but I do appreciate it! 1
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 I also like promo photos in the form of this grappling pose - - thank you, Mr Sonny King. less ephemeral digital duckface selfies, more cinderblock background publicity pics, RAF 2
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 AND I dig promo photos wherein the wrestler has his/her eyes rolled back into their skullbone. The usual rogue's gallery delight me with this: Sullivan, Brody, Abdullah, Lewin, Sheik - Undertaker is the modern example but he did it in the ring more than in pictures. - "it's thee manifestation of their Evil!", RAF 4
Curt McGirt Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 After seeing Flash Flanagan splat on the floor in the match I posted in the Blood thread I have no idea how he's still able to wrestle, and that was YEARS ago. Maybe the spikes are to keep somebody from pitching him off a balcony again. 1
Ace Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 I'd love to see AEW bring Maki Itoh in once the apocalypse is over.

Elsalvajeloco Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Just now, Nice Guy Eddie said: All that's missing is COCAINE! across the screen as if it were POW or WHAM. I believe that is the same SNME where Piper had the Halloween sketch with the kids. Boy he had all the Colombian marching powder he could handle before he shot that. 1 2
Stuttsy Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Really awesome shot from the Slam Wrestling Tom Farhat obit of a Detroit battle royal with a young Randy Poffo in the jean shorts. Edited October 4, 2020 by Stuttsy 6

This is the answer to some weird trivia question: Did Randy Savage ever dress and look like James Remar's character in the 1980 Billy Friedkin helmed film Cruising? Now you know the answer is yes. (BTW before I saw the caption, I thought it was Lanny. When did the steroids change him facially to the point where Lanny and Randy looked like they were from different families?) 3
