The underground and Japanese scene is much better these days.

Isn't the guy who plays Arrow having/ had a wrestling match?
No 80's WWF for ya? No worries, plenty of that on YouTube same with Stampede or NWA, WCW, WCCW, UWF, etc

Ricky Steamboat wasn't just class in the ring, he's a fucking gent outside it really classy guy, nice person. I remember he took the DDT off of Jake Roberts on the CEMENT....knocked him out cold, swole his eyes shut, he had told Jake he would put his hands up to stop the damage, Jakes tried to reason with him, but apparently Ricky thought he owed a promoter a little extra danger in that match and it fucked him up bad. If you ever have 40 minutes to spare check Steamboat vs Flair, CLASSIC match, Steamboat vs Macho Man was great too!


Japanese wrestling has always been class, those fuckers know what pro wrestling is supposed to be and they don't pretend it's anything else. I remember Stan Hansen popping Vader's eyeball out...RIP Vader.


Stephen Amell who plays Green Arrow is/was a pro wrestler with WWE and Ring of Honor. He's going to be on something called 'All In' coming up soon.
I've watched a lot of the 80s stuff, my older cousins and uncles had bundles of VHS tapes, that were eventually put onto dvd, that are now in mkv format and mags from the time.

There were huge superstars back then, all they have now is maybe Cena.

I have heaps of favs but guys like Brett Hart and his brother as Blue Blazer, Benoit, Kurt Henning and Shawn Michaels are near the top. I like this guy called Paul Roma, he was part of Young Stallions I think with Jim Powers, then joined up with Hercules in Power and Glory. Back then almost every wrestler or team had substance to it.
