@64downtown Well, the weirdness was more attributable to Kevin Sullivan and not so much Lewin. Check out the clips of Sullivan w/King Curtis as the Dungeonmaster in WCW - WOW! Weird beyond belief, but be prepared for how loud they are. As for Punk, I like him, he has something most of the other WWE "talent" lacks - TALENT! Randy Orton also has it, and Cena is not as bad as some would lead you to believe. The rest . . . not so much. Thanks for writing back!

@elc1960 yea i've seem that video--he's acting like brower power--unstable-rolling his eyes-lifting his arms up--real weird streak alright--most unlike him--some great wrestlers are poor actors--like the rock-a wrestling great--a ham @acting-i would say -to him-dont try so hard-what about-cena last year-when he threw the t-shirt @ the audience-they threw it back-twice--the cm punk phenomena is really interesting-most likely it suprised him too--said a lot of stuff that was amazing-D64

@64downtown Mark Lewin (aka "Purple Haze" as a heel in the States) had a real weird streak. Check out his stuff with Kevin Sullivan from Florida in the early '80s - a whole new level of weird, my friend. As for my writing style, well that's pretty much the way I speak as well. Never been on imdb so I guess that's that. Almost like we've got our own little dialogue going here. I love the old stuff in wrestling and it's very apparent that you do also. Cheers!

@mkl62 You would think that he would be, but there are lots of other ignored wrestlers who are better known who aren't in yet, like Prof. Tanaka, Ivan Koloff, Haystacks Calhoun, Wahoo McDaniel, Johnny Valentine, Don Leo Jonathan, Giant Baba, Dominic DeNucci, Rick Martel, Larry Zbyszko, Demolition, Bruiser & Crusher, to name a few. Arakawa has the name and should be there, but others far better known aren't there yet either so it will take a while.

@elc1960 thanks for info and writing back-you remind me a guy i know around imdb(dot)com--writing style--i never knew--tex mckenzie hung around the iron shiek for a while-while touring some usa states--he was pretty nice guy tex--he wasnt the heel type-same with lewin-when he became a heel-he did some odd things and just looked funny absurd.--.except the likes of walter killer kowalski--born heel--haha

@64downtown Yeah, they were leading up to HHH vs Taker for a while. The only surprise was the Hell in a Cell angle. The '80s in WWF was the beginning of the kid-friendly era that we have today, but at least they saved the bloody stuff for PPVs. Honky Tonk was worthy of his IC title run because he made the most of his limited skills. Piper & Ventura were great on the mic without a doubt.

@elc1960 yea absolutely--she made NXT watchable again in early 2011-i dont think theres anything left as in the divas on wwe-no rising stars-yea maryse wants acting roles in california-with tv the way it is in the usa-dont think theres much there-i dont watch tv anymore-i find yt has everything-the mainstream tv news is full of bulldust-as for HHH vs undertaker-as if we didnt know that was going to happen-my favs from the 80s on wwe were jesse,piper nad the honky tonk man for comedy-

[elc1960]

@64downtown Maryse seemed to have a grasp of her character. Most of the other Divas are bland (a word not easy to say when you're talking about stunningly beautiful women). The emphasis is on scriped, boring, overlong promos, backstage skits and other crap. They announced on RAW Monday night that HHH and Undertaker will fight at WMXXVIII in a Hell in a Cell match. (Possibly, for one night only . . . blood? In WWE? We'll see . . . )

@elc1960 not biased-that was the best era just coming out of the 50s-you could rolloff your tongue all those talents and there was more--like tv/music and movies-that was the best era--i dont know what happened after that, corperatization-or an end of a era-thx to yt-and uploaders-we can remember these great wrestlers-and where we were.i was just enjoying maryse in the wwe-she was great pivotal character and great wrestling diva but she left or was terminated-cmpunk knows how to talk.

[elc1960]

@64downtown I agree with your assessment of modern WWE. I preferred the old WWWF of the '60s and '70s, but I'm prejudiced because that was what I watched when I started watching wrestling. The era of Bruno Sammartino, Ray Stevens, Bulldog Brower, Johnny Valentine, Harley Race, Mark Lewin, King Curtis Iaukea . . . great memories. And if I recall, most of those guys worked a lot "down under" as well.
