Feuds:
Rock vs Austin
Rock vs Triple H
Rock vs Mankind
Rock vs Hogan
Rock vs Christ Benoit

There used to be 4 of these online back in 2006, you’re lucky I can’t find them all.

Val Venis (gets mentioned because I think others(mid carders and below) had their best matches with him, he could carry anyone)
Molly Holly (could also carry some of the worst chick wrestlers, she made Terry Runnels look like a wrestler!)
Nattie Neidhart seems to have that Molly Holly ability to make shitty wrestlers look good.
Am I the only one weirded out by the fact that Nattie is an attractive girl who looks like her dad who is not an attractive girl???[/quote]
Totally forgot about Val Venis! He was hilarious. His finish: The Money Shot.

I think CM Punk is better than all those guys. Maybe not the character but in terms of eloquence there’s no one better, not even Cena.

His character is BAD. He’s a punk and could do so much more with that then whining…Cena sucks too. I’m not a fan of the current wwe…its too kid friendly
We know cenas story and he’s boring. I wanted rtruth to get the belt so we could learn some more about him. They ruined his character too.

Jake the Snake Roberts, in his prime, seemed to be on a whole different level.
Also, T-Nation Contributor Nate Miyaki did smaller circuit pro wrestling for a few years. Maybe shoot him an e-mail about it?
And yep, that’s him in the ring with the not-yet-Great Khali.
Anyone have info on living in Louisville Kentucky? Or even better if there are apartments near the ohio valley wrestling place…
Haha, thanks chris, I will look that guy up.
Old school Khali lol

Jake the snake: Absolutely one of my favs from childhood. His promos were so different.
Beyond the Mat made me so sad.

Yep, it was rough. Have you seen the Pick Your Poison documentary about him? The first 20 minutes, about his childhood and family life, are brutally honest and hard to get through but it’s really interesting overall. He seems like a smart, sincere, and regretful guy.
It’s on Youtube in 11 parts. In part 10, Roberts and a few others talk about how the Beyond The Mat people approached him under false pretenses and edited it to make him look as bad as possible.

Not anymore. he’s too big at this point…like the rock in his day. All he does is a backdrop to a fistdrop then finisher

Mr. Perfect!!!
Tonnes of vids of matches on youtube. 
Perfect was soooo awesome at selling.
I trained for 11 months with an Indy fed in 2003-2004. It was by far the most gruelling thing I ever did. I met Samoa Joe, Colt Cabana, Sexxxy Eddy, Sylvain Grenier, Jim the Anvil Neidhart and various other minor leaguers.
Overall I found it to be a cesspool of hopelessness, full of injured guys hanging on to something because that was all they had; to the point of pushing themselves into injury, infirmity and insanity. Don’t miss the 2:30 AM trips to McDonald’s after taking down the ring (trainees had to set up and take down the ring for shows…)
Also, everyone who wanted to get anywhere was on roids. Some guys were spending $400-$600 per month on it. I’m not sure if that’s dumb or par for the course in 2003-2004 prices, I’ve never taken anything more extreme than a protein shake and some fish oil.
I tore my rotator cuff when a training partner didn’t follow a move correctly. In the time off, I realized my back, knees and elbows were going to shit due to excessive bumping. I stopped doing it after that, and got into the gym thing a few years later.
As for Jake the Snake and all them. I don’t feel sorry for them at all. They made their choices. Vince McMahon even rehabbed Jake at his own cost, and this was AFTER Jake had left WWE. Every one of those guys who died early made his choices about drugs, steroids, nightlife, painkillers. You know how life goes: You made your bed, now you must lie in it. Perhaps the only one I am sad for is Owen Hart.
