Remember when Sable was appointed as the guest Referee for the Match between Torrie Wilson & Nidia
And things between Sable & Torrie got a little seductive & awkward.
Andre The Giant vs. Chuck Wepner - post match.
After 3 rounds of boxer vs. wrestler, Andre chucks Chuck. Don King’s entourage tries to step in but run into on hell of an enforcer in Gorilla Monsoon. Pandemonium ensues
Shea Stadium - 6/25/76
Jerry Lawler wasn't too happy with former football player Mike Stark (the original Lord Humongous in 1984) talking about wanting to be a wrestler and he showed him what he thought about it his way
Heel Lawler in 1976 was something else
In 1981, John Hinckley Jr. shot at President Ronald Reagan in an attempt to murder him. Hinckley’s bullet ricocheted off his limousine and struck the President in the chest. Reagan did make a full recovery and later made the famous “missed me” joke when som balloons popped at a speech just a few weeks later.
Gene Hackman’s uncredited cameo in YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) is one of the great comedy surprises. Known almost exclusively for serious roles at the time, he reportedly did it for free just because he wanted to try comedy.
Remember when Donald Trump owned Monday Night RAW 😭
The whole show was commercial free and everyone in the attendance got the refund for the show 💀
This era was absolutely wild.
"Here's the World War One flying ace listening to a historically accurate hit parade circa 1918."
Points to anyone who can name all the famous wartime tunes Schroeder is playing.
In 1981, The Cannonball Run (45 today) hijacked the 20th Century Fox logo, turning it into a tiny car chase capped by Burt Reynolds’ legendary laugh. This gag is missing from many home releases/TV airings. I've also tacked on the intro… for THAT 1979 Lamborghini Countach.
John Goodman was the perfect choice to play Fred Flintstone. To this day, The Flintstones remains one of the best live-action adaptations of a cartoon. It's still impressive how they brought that world to life.
30 years ago today, Gene Okerlund announced that Sting, Lex Luger and Randy Savage had been chosen to represent WCW at Bash at the Beach against The Outsiders and their third man.
One of the most important moments in wrestling history was on the horizon.
