  • You know what the really amazing part about this promo is? Harley was clean-shaven that morning.

  • for $25,000 i would do a chris benoit and flair and his family but i wouldnt hang myself how would i get paid lol

  • Damn, I will take the damn money! I will eliminate Flair if the offer is still good!

  • Imagine if some goof actually attacked flair with a crowbar on the brix to get the money

  • Have Eric Young watch a video like this and try to go collect. Could be a funny twist.

  • watching all these Harley Race videos really makes one see how Triple H was heavily influenced by him.

  • You just can't beat these old-school promos. So much more storytelling and making you invest in the characters than today.

  • Harley was always great on the mic

  • WWF ripped off this angle three years later with Paul Orndorff.

  • @MrStcarroll29 And once again too with Triple H putting a hit on Goldberg in 2003! jeez!

  • @MrStcarroll29 and triple h with goldberg

    

  • I wonder just how many guys got lippy with ol' Harley in bars over the years and ended up spending time in the hospital. Now you wanna talk about a list that goes on and on, there's one right there!

  • "any living human being" he wants rid of Flair. So animals or zombies cant collect the "caish"

  • @SuprJoinT LMAO!

  • good stuff. U can hear the mucus dancing in his throat when he talks. .......kabuki!!

  • Race was great on promos but he allways sounded like he was Gargling and it got worse the more he started to shout.

  • Flair could name randomly name wrestlers better than Race.

    Race: "Dick Slater............Kabuki."

  • somebody take the damn money!!!! classic!!!

  • @acwevents That line never gets old. 

  • Harley Race was the NWA World's Heavyweight Champion for all of 1978.

  • I wish I could have Harley Race's suitcase full of $25,000.00. It would help me with my financial woes. But it sure led up to one of the most memorable Starrcade cards in pro wrestling history between Ric Flair and Harley Race.

  • I wish I could take Harley Race's suitcase of $25,000.00. It would my financial woes.

  • What made Harley such a great champ is that almost every promo you saw of him he'd put the belt over. The belt was the most important thing in his life. It's what every man wants to hold above all else. He was so great at making the belt seem like it really was the most important thing in the world of sports. Even when Flair lost it to Dusty you saw Ric scream in the back "I'm nothing! I'm nothing!" The belt mattered.

    Now you don't know who's champion and the belt spins around like a toy.

  • Jack BRISCO. You are World's Champion. You took. the. belt. FROM ME.

  • I remember seeing this back in the day and we were actually thinking of how to take Flair out, that's how real wrasslin was back in the day...

  • Race&Brody were the only ones I remember saying Damn.

  • This is a god damn legend right here.

  • (Arn Anderson to Mick Foley) I know one thing. If I threw someone off the ramp like that and they got up...I'd run.

  • ............................KA­BUKI! LOL

  • 20 years later, Triple H and Goldberg did this same storyline pretty much

  • @megamanmaniac In March 1984, he beat Flair for the belt in Wellington, New Zealand. 2 nights later, Flair won it back in Kallang, Singapore. This change was not approved of by the NWA. They finally acknowledged in 1996, though.

  • Harley Race was the NWA World's Heavyweight Champion on January 18, 1980.

  • SOMEBODY TAKE DA GOT DAMN MONEY LOL

  • somebody should have added a "BOING!" sond in then Harley threw the money down and it bounced.

  • i would have soooo taken out Flair out of wrestling FOREVER for 25 large...i love Ric Flair I do but Damn 25 large?....HECK YES!!!!!!!

  • Great promo!

  • Comment removed

  • somebody take the damn money!

  • Bounty collected by Dick Slater and Bob Orton Jr

  • Awesome Promo...............

  • HHH used this bounty thing when he was feuding with Goldberg he stole it from Harley Race

  • @Irobinson86 HHH stole his entire promo style from Harley Race.

  • Alzheimer's is a sad, sad, disease.

  • Any Living Human Being!! Not living....no..not a human being...no..Living Human being..YES!! And................KABUKI!!

  • the best part is when he throws the money down and it bounces back

  • Best promo ever!

  • Mr Race one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. I've talked to him a few times and got my pic taken with him. They did the same thing a few years back when HHH put a hit on Goldburg or however you spell his name lol.

  • @MissLegacy20 Randy Orton reminds me so much of Harley Race in terms of their promos. They both have that slow almost silent to the point promo style and only yell when they have to. Randy no doubt was inspired by Harley since they both did the spitting angle in 03 and they both are from St. Louis. Randy Orton is the closest thing to a old-school heel we have today. He's one of the only few wrestlers today that would have been a success in the territory days in the 70's and 80's.

  • "SOMEBODY TAKE THE DAMN MONEY!! I WANT RID OF FLAIR" now THAT'S a promo!

  • this is what's missing n wrestling 2day, intelligent storylines ... they're extinct!

  • this is so gangsta ..classic heel shit love it

  • I Harley Race got sick and tired of Ric Flair making a fool of him or something.

  • i read in Harley's book that he had to go back and change this to any wrestler because he was afraid a fan would try to do somethig to Flair

  • @stkwchr: hahaha! that's funny!

  • Harley was a master at mic work. Nothing back then was scripted as with WWE where it is literally written down. The bookers gave you their plot line, and you went with it from there. You sat down with whom ever you were working the angle with and talked things over, but it was pretty much ad libbed all the way.

  • The 25,000.00$ bounty has to be one of the best promos ever !! Fantastic !

  • IMO, angles like this can be recycled every few years, it's such a great gimmick.

  • This is great stuff!

  • Damn I sure miss the good ol days of wrestling.Today 's wrestling is like a cartoon wwe tna etc.Damn in this video harley race made you believe that he was putting a hit out ric flair .Classic

  • I agree! In my opinion, the ONLY positive things coming from today's WWE are the DVDs featuring the "old school" matches and interviews.

  • The only wrestler in WWE that is worth watching is Chris Jericho. Everybody else is a waste of time.

  • Harley Race is a legend in the truest sense of the word. Besides his tough and rugged style in the ring, his constipated, "I-just-swallowed-a-box-of-nai­ls" voice was perfect for his character.

  • I agree! His, what I call, "gurgley" voice, matched his ambition, drive, direction, and purpose! Unfortunately, GONE are promos like THIS one. In my opinion, all that's left are, unfortunately, so-called "wrestlers" in the ring doing "stand-up."

  • I agree. His best promo.

  • From what I have heard, he injured his throat badly during a match and that was his actual speaking voice for some years. Eventually, it healed somewhat, and his voice improved.

  • ..............................­.Kabuki!!!!!

  • I crack up every time he pauses before "Kabuki!"

  • @MuggleSnuggles: Yeah, the expression on his face is priceless right before he says "Kabuki!" LOL!

  • @MSH786 yeah, home of the blank stare

  • @marichiandbeats Dude I almost wet my pants laughing at this...perfect comment.

  • as much as i respect what flair did in and for the business, i agree with Harley. "TAKE THE DAMN MONEY!!! I WANT RID OF RIC FLAIR!!!!!"

  • "If I punch a man and he doesnt go down, I will walk around him to see what is holding him up."

    Harley Race = Legend

  • I want to "TAKE THE DAMN MONEY!!!"

  • (sigh) KABUKI

  • I wonder if his offer is good to - ANY HUMAN BEING ?

    Any Human Being ?

    - For Real ?

  • I always thought Val Venus looked like Harley

  • shit back in the 80's yeah it was

  • Hey it is not to bad now

  • i always thought that randy orton looks more like harley race than bob orton....

  • Maybe Harley is really the father.

  • Yo that would be sick!!

  • Harley was a fashion plate as Gorilla Monsoon would say.

  • Actually, Race won the NWA World Title one more time in New Zealand I believe in 1984 during a tour but dropped it back to Flair while on tour. The NWA did not recognize the switch until many years later.

  • TAKE THE DAMN MONEY!!!

  • I love how he forgets what to say after mentioning Dick Slater..haha

  • That's called a non-scripted promo, brother!

  • Harley Race is very underrated as a talker.

  • Agreed!

  • I have the first Ric Flair DVD and I watched this promo and the whole angle and all I can say is "DAMN!"

    Course then WWE used the same angle basically and revamped it for HHH/Goldberg cos they couldn't be creative with a way to do anything else. The difference is with this story someone ELSE actually collects the money and the HHH/Goldberg mess had HHH do his own work

  • i read about this angle in flairs book, but i never actually saw it.

  • I remember this, it was classic. Harley Race and Ric Flair...what more do you need to say?

  • Lived in Sedona a year never saw shape shifting reptile - but a praying mantis type materialized out of a green ball of light floating in the room - because I had no fear - I distinctly remember thinking - If you are gonna take me , lets go -bored here anyway - immediately after that though - it disappeared - like a reverse flash - Emotionless it was - and interesting as soon as I showed no fear - it dematerialized

    Fear is the mind killer

  • its amazing how the wwe took this same angle and revamped it for HHH

  • hell yeah. harley race had a monster dick

  • how big was/is it..i bet i could tame that big thing...

  • Harley is a bonafide legend - and his constipated, "I-just-swallowed-a-box-of-nai­ls" voice was perfect for his heel character.

  • Comment removed

  • awesome promo. Race was on top of his game here as the ultra heel. This era of wrestling is gone, but not forgotten.

  • that was a great angle

  • When the presidential candidates were on RAW last year, I got the idea that Hillary should have done a variation on this. She would be offering a cool million to anyone who could eliminate Obama from the campaign ("Alan Keyes: Obama beat you for U.S. Senate, you can do it!"). She would have done a great job. Unfortunately, all three candidates' promos were flat.

  • does anyone have the debut of charlie brown from outta town if so please put it on you tube.

  • i wonder if the offer still stands..

  • He wasn't that bad a wrestler considering what skills he might have had were cut from him when he came down with Polio as a kid !

  • I love it when Harley Race talks he's got one gravel throated voice.

    "I'M THE GREATEST WRESTLER ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH" Says Race

  • that the 25,0000$ deposit for the nwa title.

  • TAKE THE DAMN MONEY !!!!!!!!!!

    has to be one of my favorite promos of all time

  • grew up on 80's wrestling-THE BEST- thank god for youtube

  • Yes...take the damn money...OMG the greatest line ever...he sounds serious as hell

  • shit i was so damn convinced, i wanted to hop outta my chair and TAKE THE DAMN MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You mentioned something about a HEEL group before. TNA has now created the MAIN EVENT MAFIA!! Sting doesn't belong because he's the only wrestler I can think of who has been a FACE for his whole career.

    About BEEFCAKE, I saw that he is on a reality show with Hogan. I didn't think Hogan would to stoop to doing reality shows with the likes of Todd Bridges, a SKANK from the Real World, and Dustin Diamond. Remember when Hogan actually had Beefcake main-event a WCW PPV against him....SHAMEFUL!!

  • lol, yeah i think that's a corny name, main event mafia, that smells of russo. vince did want to do a incest angle, but steph nipped it in the bud. i sent you a friend invitation, just wanted you to know that, i,ve been working on my website, so it's hard to comment. but i,ll make time to do so. to think how many incarnational ed leslie has been, brutis boulder,brother bruti,the barber,the zodiac,the booty man,the disciple. lol, he has worse gimmick trauma that al snow ever had.

  • I mentioned before that EVERY stupid angle TNA comes up with must be Vince Russo's idea. If TNA wanted to have a HEEL group they should have brought in Scott Hall and/or Sean Waltman..what are those 2 up to??

    Why did Vince McMahon want to do an INCEST angle with his REAL-LIFE DAUGHTER!! I mean, that even low for Vince McMahon's standards!!

  • Vinces standards are as low as it get. I mean... faking his own DEATH! Come on...

  • Sting was a heel in the Mid South/UWF

  • I knew Sting started his career in the UWF(he teamed with the Ultimate Warrior at some point in the UWF), but I wasn't sure whether he was a heel. To me, Sting doesn't look right as a heel because he had been a face for almost 20 years(1988-2008). EVERY other popular wrestler went back and forth between heel and face. Ricky Steamboat may have been a face for his just about his entire career just like Sting.

  • hey seeehorn, it's mexizona858 under a different name. i have to comment on this, steamboat WAS a face his whole career because he was so likable and boy, could he work. it was a shame when vince saddled the dragon gimmick on him. i think steamboat being a face his whole career and the heels always winning the coin toss in war games are the two constants in the business. well, maybe you could add all the spots ric flair does over and over and over.

  • what's up mexizona, that constant about the war games is so true. The crowd would always count down the seconds until the face could enter the war games and even up things with the heels(the 4 Horseman on most occassions). The face would get a HUGE pop from the crowd when he entered the war games.

    Another constant would be Ricky Morton getting squashed by the Heel tag team for most of the match and then making the HOT TAG to Robert Gibson!!

  • The WWF can't be mainstream because NOBODY in the mainstream takes the wrestling seriously. I know Jonathan Coachman must catch HELL from the ESPN guys because he worked for the WWF.

    What role does Jim Cornette play in TNA, besides the "on-air general manager"(another STUPID WWF storyline)? J.Cornette has a GREAT old-school wrestling mind and should have a major role in TNA storylines. I assume Vince Russo comes up with the ridiculous TNA gimmicks.

  • i know, this is so funny about WWE, i look at a ppv preview on direcTV and they are making it sound so big, when people still look at them and mock them and make fun of them. people hate anything they percieve as wrestling, you could market it as sports entertainment or hardcore pilates, i don't care, people see it as pro wrestling. the corporate hates wrestling because the white collar bastard behind the desk, in the suit, got beat up by a amateur wrestler in high school. so what's the point???

  • Who does Paul Heyman work for right now?? I know it had to hurt his heart when he sold out and MARKED OUT in the WWF after Vince McMahon bought ECW and WCW. Did he leave the WWF because he didn't like doing the CARTOON FOR KIDS stuff??

    I heard the reason Sting never went to the WWF is because he didn't want Vince McMahon to turn him into some ri-GODDAMN-diculous character like a RED ROOSTER, an IRS AGENT, a REPO MAN, a GOON HOCKEY PLAYER, a VOODOO MAN, or a VEGAS HITMAN!!

  • paul heyman lives in england and writes a column for the daily sun called the heyman hustle. he did not leave, he was released because stephanie mcmahon hates paul's guts. i think she has a hidden atraction for him. she will f*ck anybody with a dick. sting never went to WWF/E because he saw what they did to the WCW guys, turning them all into upper to mid mid carders and did not want his legacy tarnished. vince don't like people he did not create. it's a well known fact.

  • mexizona, whenever something interesting happens in wrestling I'll post something on here, I know I haven't posted in a few days. You mentioned Vince McMahon doesn't like people he didn't create, I guess that why he made Harley Race 'handsome' and a 'king'!!

    Your comments about Stephanie McMahon doesn't shock me. Vince McMahon has ZERO MORALS, it would be expected that his kids would be just like him. Didn't V.McMahon want to do an INCEST angle with his daughter a few years back??

  • BEEFCAKE....GREAT WORD for a wrestler getting ahead by riding the coattails of a main-eventer. Who could forget how Triple H would follow around Shawn Michaels like a DOG back in 1996 and 1997!! Kevin Nash did the exact same thing around 1993/1994!! Didn't Shane Douglass HATE the fact that Kevin Nash, Triple H, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman were Shawn Michaels BEEFCAKES while he was playing Dean Douglass in the WWF??

    Is Stephanie LEVESQUE still in charge of the WWF's storylines??

  • i got that word "beefcake" from honky tonk man, if you love wrestling, watch A. his YouShoot interview, B. his face to face with raven and C. his solo shoot interview. shane despised the kliq because he felt they were jelous he had talent and he was getting by even though sadddled with a terrible gimmick. shane also was pissed at "dick flair" for holding him back while flair had the book in WCW.

  • Isn't the Honkey Tonk Man related to Jerry Lawler? I see stuff for Honky Tonk Man's shoots on youtube all the time, I'll start watching them now. Did the term BEEFCAKE originate from Brutus BEEFCAKE who rode Hulk Hogan's coattails?? Haven't Hogan and Beefcake been best friends for a long time.

    How much did Shawn Micheals forfeiting the IC Title to "Dean" Douglaas at Summerslam '95 contribute to S.Douglass hatred of the KLIQ? S.Douglass is VERY good at bashing guys from competing companies.

  • yes, they are cousins. yes, the term beefcake oringiated with brutis beefcake (who i,m a fan of and he's a good worker). i don't know too much about the IC fiasco with shawn and shane, but i would not doubt it was michaels power playing not having to job to douglas, i mean, look who beat shane, scott hall, is'nt that funny,,,,chico?? there's alot of beefcakes though, hall is nash's beefcake, the godfather is undertaker's beefcake, orton and batista are hhh beefcakes, you see my point.

  • That's a good idea for the WWF to get into PORN!! The divas have degraded themselves on TV for many years, why not go all the way. The mainstream already associated pro wrestling with the LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR!!

    Wouldn't Nash be Scott Hall or Shawn Michaels beefcake, Razor Ramon was OVER with the crowd before Deisel was. Wasn't Nash playing VINNY VEGAS at the same time Scott Hall was Razor Ramon??

  • hey, how can you call somebody that's 7' 320 pounds somebody's beefcake, if anything, nash was michaels bodyguard. hall was the type to go up to somebody outside the kliq, and have a nice conversation with them, but if they said anything bad about the kliq, he would run to michaels and tell them what they said and michaels would go to vince and lie about something, then that person would get burried. watch bam bam bigelow's shoot or tom brandi's shoot. they say the same thing i,m saying.

  • I wrote that about Kevin Nash because he was playing RIDICULOUS characters like Vinny Vegas and Oz in WCW. When he associated with Shawn Michaels and became his bodyguard(Deisel), he got a push that elevated him to main event status. I'm sure S.Michaels told Vince to give him a push as a main-eventer.

    I'm not surprised that the KLIQ would pull FAGGOT moves like that. That must be HELL to work in a place where some BITCHES can run to the boss and screw you. It happens in a LOT of workplaces!!

  • not to change the subject, ok, maybe, i remember a segment, the danger zone with paul e. dangerously (paul heyman) when he had sting on it and sting scared the sh*t out of him and it makes me laugh every time i watch it, lol. type "danger zone sting" and you might find it.

    i don't know who thought of vinnie vegas, but oz was kevin sullivan's idea, type in "kevin nash wrestler clinic", he parody's himself in some ways, it's funny.

  • stephanie mcmahon is head of writing in WWE, but look at who the agents are in WWE and it's so sad they don't take a more wrestling direction. you got ricky steamboat, dusty rhodes,ted dibiase,steve keirn,dean malenko,fit finlay, you know, great wrestlers. but WWE is a publicy traded company on wall street, WWE wants to market itself towards kids, WWE wants mainstreet media by puting it's talent in movies and magazines. i got a idea, how about a WWE divas porno movie???

  • Bret Hart mentioned he used to record his thoughts while he wrestled and those thoughts will be included in his book. I hope he mentions SLOPPY Goldberg ending his career in the book.

    Speaking of the Hart's, what about "Jim the Andvil" Neighthart's daughter, she's one of the few credible female wrestlers in the WWF. They need to have her do her father's TA-HA-HA-HA laugh!! A few years ago there was an OUTSTANDING wrestler in TNA named Teddy Hart(Bruce's son??). Where is he wrestling?

  • yeah, jim neidhart's daughter natalia is in WWE, somebody told me she does the manicial laugh, but i don't know for sure. i always marked out when neidhart would do that. you know traci brooks looks like sarah palin if she puts on glasses and puts her hair in a bun. if i was a TNA writer, i would be a john mccain/sarah palin parody, but TNA is ran by a bunch of idiots with their finger up their ass.

  • Who is in charge at TNA besides Jeff Jarrett and Jim Cornette. I hope F@#KING VINCE RUSSO isn't involved with TNA!! TNA seems to have some STUPID gimmicks that reek of V.Russo(King Booker, Black Machismo, the Stone Cold rip-off who wears a mask).

    TNA needs to go the route of ECW meaning they need to target REAL wrestling fans and put on action-packed matches, not the CARTOON with promos and skits that Vince McMahon puts on for the kids every week.

  • jeff jarrett,vince russo,dutch mantell and terry taylor are in charge of TNA storylines. scott d'amore left to run his promotion in canada and savio vega might be coming in to replace him. king booker was stephs idea by the way. the stone cold ripoff was shark boy, who i like as a performer, but the "give me a shell yeah" was a bad gimmick. i think TNA fans are rip-off ECW fans, with their "this is awesome" chant and their "TNA" chant. i also thought that about those XPW fans.

  • mexizona, what is Torrie Wilson doing right now? Is she with Billy Kidman? That's too bad about Francine. Was she ever with Shane Douglass? Your info about Kim FALKENBERG doesn't surprise me.

    What happened with Bret Hart and his long-time wife?? Did he drop her for Gail Kim or Tammy Sytch?? Who could forget the appearance B.Hart's wife made in the Montreal Screwjob documentary when she confronted Shawn Michaels after he SCREWED Bret and S.Michaels claimed he new nothing about the SCREW JOB

  • torrie is dating nick mitchell, living in houston. no, francine and douglas just stood each other, did not like each other personaly. bret has already been divorced two times, his first wife left him with his kids and his second wife he left because she wanted him to move it italy, she was italian. tammy was drunk when she went after bret at a reunion show. i have very little info on the hart/kim relationship.

  • I thought of some more "ladies" of wrestling, whatever happened to Francine, Kimberly FALKENBERG(DDP's ex), and Torrie Wilson(wasn't she with Billy Kidman)??

    I heard Brett Hart interviewed on the radio earlier today, he mentioned he would be putting out a book. The most interesting comment he made was that the WWF HAD NO INVOLVEMENT IN PRODUCTION OF THE BOOK!! I guess that was a SHOT at Mick Foley, Edge, Chyna, the Rock, and others who had their "factual" books distributed by the WWF.

  • i love torrie wilson, i respect her a bunch, wwe screwed her in many ways and i think she gets a bad rap. francine may be the queen of extreme, but she's also the queen of bitches, having said that, my thoughts go out to her for the lost of both her father and sister in a weeks span. kimberly page is a whore, plain and simple, page was pimping her out left and right, i often wondered when page said somebody would feel the bang, did he mean they got to join a threesum with him and kim???

  • Having a stable of HEEL wrestlers has always worked in wrestling(NWO, Heenan Family, 4 Horseman, Russians). Vince McMahon probably wouldn't allow a heel group unless his SON-IN-LAW Triple H was involved!! Remember, he led Evolution, a cheap imitation of the Horseman.

    You mentioned a SHOOT HEEL. Triple H is a SHOOT FACE, he always makes shoot/non-kayfabe comments. Remember, when Jeff Hardy mentioned the Kliq and having the "right family members" to push Triple H?? Shawn Michaels also did that.

  • i planed this, i say, have K.O.D. 5 invade WWE, beat up everybody, have bodies all over the ring, beat upo women, beat up camera men, beat up planted fans, become the most ruthless stable in wrestling history.

    triple h thinks he's a shoot, he's too big for himself because he has too much power, i was watching the mcmahon dvd and i just wanted to puke, about 85% of that dvd was either a lie or a work. we need honky tonk man to do a dvd and name off everybody he knows and tell all about them.

  • I'm not surprised that Vince McMahon would LIE on his own DVD. It's too bad that wrestling MARKS(a lot of young kids) bought into V.McMahon's NONSENSE and didn't support ECW. V.McMahon pretty much owns all the quality wrestling video(ECW, AWA, NWA, WCW) and he can DISTORT wrestling history because he has a monopoly and nobody will tell the truth because they want jobs!!

    You're right about Triple H being too big for himself. He is acting just like Shawn Michaels did in the mid to late 90's.

  • I think Triple H is actually a talented worker, but the guy does backstage politicking more than Hogan ever did

  • roderick, i never said hunter was not talented, he's just a winey little bitch who runs to his wife to settle his issues. i,m talking super heel stables, not some washed up stable with no names like los boricuas, a stable both faces and heels in the company hate, thus they team up to destroy the super heel stable. and please add me as a friend, i,m a huge habs fan myself, guy lafluer is god to me, gretzky could never be "the flower". and i curse patrick roy to this day for ruining the habs.

  • Yes, the NWO was great, until they added way too many members and way too many glorified jobbers like Vincent and Horace Hogan. Not all heel stables really worked though, remember Savio Vega's group after he got kicked out of the Nation (Los Boricuas or whatever it's spelled) hardly a great heel stable.

  • K.O.D. 5 would stay to just 5 members, that was the problem with the NWO, it included 50 wrestlers, when it should have been 6-7 wrestlers. they had it right at first, like when the nasty boys went to join the NWO or when the booty man tried to join the NWO, they beat them down instead. we need a stable that controls everything, the belts, the women, the money, the power, everything. so then people would pay to see that stable, especially the leader, get their ass kicked.

  • Another problem with heels is that the WWF is constantly switching wrestlers from heels to babyfaces. How many times have guys like Chris Jericho, Big Show, and Triple H switched between heel and face? That's why I refer to it as VINCE MCMAHON'S CARTOON!!

    The WWF went old school when they had Chris Jericho "punch" Shawn Michaels real-life wife. Involving real-life family members is an effective way to put over someone as a heel. This Harley Race video illustrates how to put over a heel.

  • excatly, if i played heel, i,d love to be the power abusing heel, you know, i thought of a stable called "kiss of death 5". i got the name from tom brandi, have 5 different wreslters, the leader(a Chameleon wrestler),the shooter,the big man,the cruiserweight and the brawler, atempt to take over WWE. WWE don't have any super heels, that's what kod 5 would be, a super heel, where both the faces and the heels hate them, simular to the NWO. kod 5 would have the money,women,power,everything.

  • I know Larry Zbysko was a great wrestler and played a HEEL very well, I was just surprised to hear that he was married to Verne Gagne's daughter. L.Zbysko would sometimes insult his ex-wife during interviews in the AWA and NWA, I assume he was referring to Gagne's daughter??

    Whatever happened to Trish, Stacey Keibler, Dawn Marie(didn't another wrestler impregnate her), Melina(with her 3-way), Krystal, and Tammy Sytch aka Sunny?? Did any of them take the MAJOR GUNS-route and do porn??

  • trish retired to marry her long time husband, stacy is a c-list actress, dawn marie was not inpregnated by simon diamond, just was married to him, some new jersey state trooper she was dating after they got divorced inpregnated her. krystal left wwe with bobby lashley, and tammy sytch is working legends reunions, trying to get bret hart to f*ck her. terri runnels should of went into porn, she has the body and the face for it, but she says it would affect her daughter, which i don't believe.

  • ALL of the divas mentioned needed to get into porn. Terri Runnels and Tammy Sytch may be too old to be involved in porn at this point. HA! HA! All these "ladies" performed SOFT-CORE PORN on almost every TV appearance they made. T.Runnels didn't seem too concerned with her daughter when her she went along with Dustin Runnels FAG gimmick(GOLDUST). That WWF must have given him that gimmick as a way to embarass Dusty Rhodes.

    What's going on with Missy Hyatt, she was the ORIGINAL WRESTLING SKANK!!

  • terri runnels is never too old for porn, that woman bathes in the fountain of youth, seeing her with dale dabone or peter north might be worth my money. terri always seems to use her daughter as a excuse, i mean, it's her body, but it's also her loss. missy hyatt is a rat, plain and simple. i can't stand kelly kelly and candice michelle, those two don't belong in wrestling along with maria. hell, i only like victoria and jillian hall. because both can wrestle and are being held back by wwe.

  • Actually, if you look at Goldust's gimmick, it was kind of a ripoff of David Bowie, LOL

  • Roderick, I'm glad you're in on these discussions. Goldust is also a LANNY POFFO/ADRIAN ADONIS ripoff!! Was that gimmick given to Dustin Rhodes in order to embarass Dusty Rhodes? They should have Cody Rhodes come out as Goldust. HA! HA!

    Triple H comes across as VERY arrogant, just like Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, X-Pac, and Shawn Michaels(years back). Gee, you'd think those guys were like some kind of KLIQ!! Hogan wasn't married to the boss's daughter, so he couldn't have been as bad as Triple H

  • Technically, Adrian Adonis too was a ripoff as well, "The Exotic" Adrian Street had the whole gay gimmick long before Adonis

  • Remember when Dustin Runnels did "shoot" interviews in the WWF claiming that the Goldust gimmick was embarassing because he has a young daughter(Dakota) and he went back to it a few years later!! D.Runnels may even be doing it again if he is "chosen" to face Santino.

  • hunter is confindent because he's A. banging the bosses daughter, B. shawn micheals "beefcake", C. in good terms with vince and D. batista and randy orton are hunter's "beefcakes". not to mention, what if andrew "test" martin married stephanie mcmahon??? what if it was a shoot???? test would be 11-time world heavyweight champion and the guy has a horse face, has limited talent and has dyslexia, he can't spell to save his freakin life. then again, what would you expect from a maple leaf fan???

  • true, it was david bowie and prince mixed. wrestling has always stole from pop culture. does fuji vice ring a bell??? dustin always wanted to get out of his father's huge shawdow,,,,if you wheel. so, he thought of the goldust character, it was dustin and vince's idea. he met marlena/terri at wcw when she was alexandria york (york foundation fame). i heard rumors from honky tonk man that terri did dusty first, then later on in life, she did dustin. what's that say to you???

  • I'm not surprised that a "lady" of professional wrestling got passed around from wrestler to wrestler, but father to son is just disgusting. HA! HA! I remember when Terri Runnels was Alexandra York, she had the SARAH PALIN look!! Nancy Benoit was also doing that gimmick before she turned heel on Rick Steiner.

    I'm surprised that Dustin Runnels was invovled in creating the Goldust gimmick. The GAY gimmick seems like something given to wrestlers that Vince McMahon wanted to punish.

  • This is some good stuff. I'm not suprised that the WWE Divas get treated like WHORES!! I mean they sexually degrade themselves on TV every week, it should be easy for them to do it behind closed doors.

    Wasn't Bobby Lashley going with Krystal, both of them left the WWF at the same time. What was behind that. Also with the way things worked out with Debra McMichael-Steve Austin, Kevin Sullivan-Nancy Benoit, and Chris Benoit-Nancy Benoit, someone may want to WARN the divas about the wrestlers!!!

  • i don't understand why some WWE divas don't get into porn, you make a little more money and your fucking hung guys. some of them are ugly, but your geting paid to "put them over". i least i respect tylene buck, she's in porn and is doing a great job at it. i don't know why traci brooks is so loyal to TNA, all they do is treat her like trash, you'd think she would get smart and leave that sinking ship, hell, ROH would treat her alot better than TNA. she is such a great talent in my mind.

  • mexizona858, it's good that we can go back and forth about what GARBAGE the WWE without having one of their fanatics dispute what we say. I don't think any WWE fanatic would even look at this video. It's too bad that the WWF used Harley Race to put over Randy Orton as the "legend killer." They had R.Orton spit in the face of Harley Race a few years back.

  • on randy orton, he should have been fired three years ago when he did what he did to rochelle loewen, he was mad she would not sleep with him, so he messed up her personal belongings. i feel the boys can be quite sexist at times, but then again, this is a man's business. you have to pay your dues. i,m sure trish stratus "payed her dues" if you know what i mean, lol. which is why she won't pose in playboy. "i don't want to be remembered that way" she says. what other way would we think of her???
