These guys didn't have to climb the top rope or do all the flashy moves. They just got in the ring and kicked ass the old fashioned way. Legitimate shooting was much more common in their days....
retrokid: agreed. he was also in UT's Phenom video narrating everything or so it seems to sound like him. And at the end, the last narration seems to me, to sould like Blassie & Stephanie.
WWF for over 50 years the revolutionary force in sports entertainment, WWE for almost ten years some of the suckiest wrestling storylines to ever grace television.
WWE will never go back to this stage....not becaue they have great legends....but because the legends became jobbers or Vince Screwed em all and they want no buisness with Vince lol
I always love Freddie Blassie's voice in any of the WWF promo opening video package. It just gives you goosebumps. R.I.P. to the legends who have passed in this video.
one of the greatest promos that was ever made..of all of those legends, patterson is still alive? Whats a wrong wit this picture? If u read the wrestlemania book came out..it recalls the wm15 wit gorilla monson..sad.
@therealstb I know truly sad. JR is a great commentator up with the best but out of all of them Monsoon/Henan were the absolute best. Cole should visit Monsoon's grave and pay respects to the man who let him be there. Thats y I hate Cole he's a tool in & out of the ring and pays no homage to the truly greats
@y2joct7 yeah i agree..Cole is lacking alot but he was/is a whole hell alot better then that mike adamly or whatever his name is..I dont think mike really respected the business.Cause 99% of sportscasters of other sports think pro wrestling is foolish and stupid. Jr is the best alone side Gordon solie...Gorilla was great also..Him and Bobby was such a great team..To me its a tie between Gorilla and Bobby & Jr and the King..I guess of each era they was the best!
@therealstb I dont even acknowledge Adamle...he wasnt there long enough to make an impact. Lesnar was more of an impact. I feel with the birth of RAW Monsoon/Henan passed the torch to JR/King. They knew JR/King knew about the business and respected it. I dont think Cole has the respect for it. JR/King will be the best imo but thats only because I grew up with them. I assume someone would say Henan/Monsoon was the best when they were growing up.
Ever since 3, when I saw the Ultimate Warrior, hooked as well G. They could make a promo like this but these kids now a days are to dumb to understand wat these guys put into it. We did cause we grew up in the era of the Monday Night Wars. Guys like Bret Hart, Undertaker, Shawn, HHH, Mankind, The Rock., Ric Flair Hulk....basically guys who could REALLY wrestle and entertain you. Now it's just a bullshit wrestlers that have no talent and are entertainers or vice versa...............
Yeah, even the two years before his death he still looked healthy and then he didn't make any appearances until WrestleMania XV where he looked thin and frail.

I can still hear the echos cheering my name.
Time has not silenced the crowd.
I never did a moonsault, or walked the top rope.
There were no pyrotechnics.
No fancy, flashing lights.
We never flew through the air.
We were men of courage, men of steel.
They are men without fear.
I can still hear the echos cheering my name.
But today, I cheer for them.

Hard to believe that Pat Patterson is the only one living. Monsoon, Blassie, Ernie Ladd and Kowaslki have all passed away.
