Guest Sores Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 This guy was not that old school. He used to be in the NWA and he looked like Warren Moon. His name was Norm Smiley, how tough of a wrestling name is that? Norm Smiley? Does anyone remember him? 1368305[/snapback] Not THAT old school? He is YOUNGER than me!

When you're a pro wrestler and one of you signature moves is called "The Big Wiggle", that just ain't right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menudo Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Oh man ! I used to love it. I would go to every event at the Hersheypark arena. I was their for a Saturday Night's Main Event. Macho Man Savage vs. Tito Santana. Hulk Hogan & Andre The Giant vs. King Kong Bund & Big John Stud. It was awesome ! There was also a Piper's Pit that night. I had all of the Figures, the ring, etc. I remember the coolest thing ever was finding one of the figures before anyone else had them. I got my hands on The British Bulldog figures before anyone else on my block, and I ruled the world. The Macho Man was always my favorite, and I used to do a pretty good impression of him.

Azazello1313 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I cut my teeth in the old AWA. my dad took me to one of those matches, the only wrasslin I ever saw live, when I was like 6 or 7 years old. the main event was the high flyers (greg gagne and jim bunzell) against jesse the body ventura and adrian adonis. there was blood everywhere. then I was a big WWF fan through most of the 80s. good times.

lennykravitz2004 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrestling_at_the_Chase Anybody else from the STL recall this? Sunday mornings, after 8am mass. "Praise be to God" followed by, "Kick him in the head, Dick the Bruiser!!!" And was I the only one who subscribed to Pro Wrestling Illustrated? King Kong Brody Dick the Bruiser Bulldog Bob Brown Harley Race (before that "king" WWF bullSHAM WOW!) The Von Erichs - Fritz (the Dad), and his boys - Kerry, Kevin, and I can't remember. They all used "the claw" too. Two matches I will always remember seeing (on TV): 1) Hulk Hogan filling in for an injured Bob Backland vs the Iron Sheik for the WWF title (and starting the explosion of the WWF) 2) Superfly Jimmy Snuka's cage match against Magnificent Don Muraco, where Snuka flew from the top of the cage (A W E S O M E - start at 1:20) Tidbit: before he was Randy Macho Man Savage, he was Randy Poffo, St. Louis Cardinals minor leaguer.
