Those lady wrestlers are wicked!

The 80s were better for wrestling. I loved George 'The Animal' Steele.
Yes he was hilarious,i heard he really was a college professor of English

The 'Animal' was HUGE down under.

I saw the WWF at Sydney in '86/'87.

The stadium was near Chinatown. When it was over there were 5,000 white Aussies walking through Chinatown making 'George the Animal' noises!

It was funny as!

I've seen that list before, theres a number of other wrestlers not listed who are also Jewish, Colt Cabana from ROH (who is coming to WWE) is also Jewish and very talented. The founder of ROH was Feinstein who was Jewish although....he is not a good person, you can PM me for more details.

DDP is one of the last people i'd figure to be Jewish, Macho Man definitely Jewish, A-Train was one of the last people i'd figure to be Jewish as well, Kane as well, billy kidman knew he was Jewish, Paul Heyman definitely Jewish, Bill Goldberg definitely Jewish), Raven didn't know he was Jewish but interesting, Kevin Nash was surprising to me, Brian Pillman I knew was Jewish and one of my favorite wrestlers (RIP).

You can find a full list of Jewish wrestlers at obsessed with wrestling.

Yes ddp has the same name Falkinburg of a woman who was Jewish who help my aunt take care of my cousins. A-Train real name is Matthew Bloom,raven is Sefardic

I was probably one of the few girls who actually had a Hulk Hogan action figure, complete with a little plastic championship belt.

hope you didn`t hurt your finger!

I think in an old video I had, "1992 the/a year in review", jake had his snake bite the macho man. Completely planned. Macho man was "tied to the ropes". The snake took a real bite. It was crazy. I`m sure it was a cobra..prob with poison removed!

wikipedia
"
Roberts forced a cobra to bite Savage's arm as the Macho Man was tied up in the ropes (seen on WWF Superstars).
"
another site says, WWF superstars Nov 1991.

I stopped watching after 1993. But picked up W12 after seeing Piper on the video case. Favourite wrestler was Roddy Piper, he came back and did an awesome backyard brawl against Goldust in Wrestlemania 12.

Classic part of michaels vs piper.
1:45-2:30, of this. One my my favourite classic piper moves

Really though, wrestling is harmful in that it gets you to think of fights as "friendly".. As in, don`t do anything to your opponent that you wouldn`t want done to yourself. No real punches. Some early UFC matches are probably better viewing, or some Don Frye . should be downloadable on youtube or if not youtube, then emule.. But emule has alot of porn so be careful..Prob good to just take up boxing, you don`t want a broken nose though.

The Jake the Snake, Savage was in 1991 after the "wedding" between savage and his real wife Elizabeth. A couple of weeks after that "wedding" Roberts' snake bit Savage.

Mr Fuji - manager of yokozuna, on one of my 1993 videos. He managed teams before.. On an old vid he did a diving headbut to the undertaker's groin. No response! Very cleverly done..

On another I saw the undertaker piledrived/piledriven on the cement flaw, head first, by the Bezerker (looked like it anyway). No response(undertaker was fine.. no pain shown!)

one of my favourite wrestlers was the least skilled. Zeus.
He was totally invincible, you could only beat him by knocking him out, like whacking him over the head with a bell.

Another favourite was Akeem, very underrated, he was absolutely hilarious.

I used to watch it!

It's truly powerful "show business"; freak-show spectacles which become habit-forming upon repeated viewing.

Hell of a way to make a living.

"Zeus" was actually an actor named "Tiny" Lister, Jr. He starred with Hulk Hogan in the movie "No Holds Barred" and in a two part episode of "Matlock".
