Old type wrestling was much more real in its sport realism.

David was the tallest, Kevin the most athletic, Kerry the best physique.

von erich's barefoot wrestling gave him speed!and quickness too!

I remember one match with Sawyer vs the US Express (some twins). After the match, Sawyer beat one with a chain and wrapped him up in it (binding his arms and legs in the process). He then bench pressed the guy over his head, then threw him onto the concrete floor from the ring. I remember it so vividly because the guy (I forget his name) had his arms and legs bound buy the chain, and had no way to brace his fall. Just a huge THUD. Mad Dog was precisely that!

@Aur0rah Yea I liked it better. Man, ya had wrestlers drunk, High, jacked up on who knows what.Its way before they started cracking down on that.

I'd heard Buzz was also a bit of an asshole, stiff on younger talent difficult with promoters. One story involved Buzz being approached by a big young guy name of Mark Calaway who wanted Buzz to teach him, Buzz took his money and left town without a single lesson (well, maybe one, the most important lesson). Fortunately Mark, a little wiser, hung on and found a better teacher and eventually became The Undertaker.

The sad part of this was that Buzz was the exact kind of wrestler Vince Mcmahon had in mind to leed the wwf into the future,but like so many after him Drugs took Buzz and the chance to see him really come into his own in future matches.
