"The All American Back Jumper" Bob Roop. I had the chance to talk to him after he retired. Heck of a nice guy.

I really miss Gordon Solie

I agree that Bob Roop is underrated.

[TheMarcusMarcs]

He must be, he's carrying Lawler into a good match here.

[floridajobber]

Lawler may have had limited skills in the ring, as some suggest, but he had incredible personality, sex appeal, a talent for talking Sh** in interviews to get the crowd pumped and ready for his next ring appearance. NWA knew exactly what they were doing with Lawler, and he did it well for them.

[chipsc7]

Lawler never impressed me as a wrestler, his wrestling skills were limited. I enjoyed watching wrestlers who really knew how to wrestler, and Lawler was / is not one of them..

[vivalafartknocker]

he never admitted to being the best, he knew he wasn't. hulk hogan thinks he's the best, but he's got less moves than lawler.

[mkl62]

Good match. I will always feel that Bob Roop was very underated during his career, though.

[natebgraham]

never heard of bob roop. i think his name should be bob poop

[mkl62]

Like Magnum, T.A., Roop's career ended in an automobile accident. Same with Steve Travis.

[cabronte]

It's always great to hear from the kids whose awareness of pro wrestling starts and ends with Hogan, Stone Cold or the Rock. Don't know nothin' about nothin'. Roop was a championship winning amateur and a damn fine pro. An inductee to the International Wrestling Hall of Fame, a place for both amateur and pros. But since there's no catch phrases or a "Diva" on his arm, you don't know shit.

Good post, junior.

Does anyone have a film of Jerry Lawler wrestling Superstar Graham?
