IN THE MEANTIME: JUST LIKE THAT

Pimp.

Just a shot in the dark, but perhaps the reason people hate Duke basketball has something to do with a certain disingenuous smarmy douchebag who isn’t a coach, but rather a leader who happens to coach basketball.

Ric Flair is still my man, although Dusty Rhodes is pretty cool too. These guys should definitely be involved with SEC football in some way.

WWF in the 80’s = SEC since 2004

The onus is now on somebody (Orson) to do a write-up comparing and contrasting SEC coaches with 80’s WWF figureheads.

Also, “just like that” should be a tag from now on.

What is disingenuous or smarmy about Coach K? People have been trying to perform character assassination on him since the early 90s and all they can come up with is that he cusses a lot and does a lot of commercials. I think Huckleberry Hound over at UNC-CH deserves more derision than K on any given day.

Obviously a yankee

This is the NWA, not the WWF

I like the youtoobs without the music, makes it easier to hear the wisdom of the Nature Boy.

Thank you, 3rd.

The WWF was a bunch of cartoon characters when I was growing up.

Matter of fact, I think they had a cartoon with Hogan and Piper.

I’m surprised the streets of Buckhead aren’t full of bleach blonde teenagers. Damn, I bet he slayed the poonanny.

To be the man, ya gotta beat the man. WOOOOOOO!!!

My friend named his cat Nature Boy. Even though the cat later proved to be female, the name stuck. Just like that.

That production was awesome on so many levels that I cannot even begin to point to one thing… but I’ll point to one thing; There has ever been or will ever be a mullet that is that extraordinary. It’s transcendent.

Awesome video.

I’ve always respected Duke. Despite their huge success I never developed any kind of hatred for them.

True blue Yank, I’ll be honest. But the NWA? C’mon. Who actually watched that?

Ric Flair is not worthy to wear Sgt. Slaughter’s or Ivan Koloff’s shoes, but a cage match between Ric and The Orgeron would be a ratings bonanza.

#13…everyone who had TBS beamed into their homes. God bless the dirtiest player in the game.

1. My brother and I watched tooonnnsss of NWA when we were little. Like 7 or 8 years old little. Our favorite was Magnum TA and the best tag team duo was the Rock n Roll Express. Good times.

Then again, there wasn’t much else on TBS back then but NWA, reruns of the Carol Burnett Show (genius), Braves baseball, and commercials for Lee Press on Nails, Survivor knives, the pocket fisherman, and Freedom Rock LPs.

Christ, I feel old

I still get goosebumps when I hear “Another One Bites the Dust.” Junkyard Dog in the Mid-South. The Dog and Kamala – the inter-racial sports heroes of my early childhood. That was back when raslin was raslin.

Duke is gay.

jon,

I remember a brief period when TBS tried to create its own programming. The two shows I remember from that failed experiment were Rocky Road and Down to Earth (whose theme song I inexplicably remember).

And here’s a TBS commercial break featuring Frankenberry, The Game of Life, Bubble Yum, Strawberry Shortcake Phone, Count Chocula and a Down to Earth preview.

The Four Horsemen were the finest collection of wrestling heels ever (w/Blanchard not Luger)

Flipped by local wrasslin in Memphis this weekend, and saw the Rock n Roll Express doin thier thing, alonk with The King (Lawler, that is).

Stylin’ and profilin’, like always. Nach is the alpha and the omega. Truly a legend.

20,

1000 freakin’ cocktails.

down to earth was sooooooo lame. (wacky do wacky do)

(although i really don’t rocky road).

4801 4801 4801 Buuuuford Hiiiiiiighway.

WTBS 4 eva.

Oh, uh, out of curiousity, did anyone else have a grandmother who was convinced wrestling was real?

You never really finish an article about why Dook is hated, do you?

Hatred of Dook is like Pi: infinite.

I know personally I’d need at least 10,000 words just to get started.

When I was a kid, TBS was WTCG and it was about the only channel I ever watched. Ted Turner is the person who introduced me to Gordon Soley, The Little Rascals, The Space Giants and Jethro Bodine. It’s almost enough for me to be able to forgive him for all the Braves games I had to watch growing up.

#27,

Goldar for the win!

Ah, the Glory Days. Wrestling when it mattered, when it meant something, when the finest athletes in the world were 40, with big ass beer guts and bionic elbows, pummeling the same sorry ass jobbers every week. Saturday nights with the NWA, right there in the studio, where the Little League bleachers held 50 people. Tomorrow night at the War Memorial!… Tonight, at the Omni in Atlanta! Get your tickets at local Select-a-Seat outlets!

Those were the days. Fuck WWE.

And when does Tony Schiavone get a Moustache Wednesday of his own?

I preferred Ultraman:

I think Urban Meyer has to pay respect/royalties to the Nature Boy for bragging to recruits that he’s “the dirtiest player in the game”?

I’m all about the idea of comparing SEC coaches to NWA stars. Does Phil Fulmer have a giant hyperpigmented spot on his gut like the American Dream?

Best. Ric Flair. Youtube. Ever.

Shit that just made my day…I grew up on NWA…it literally defined my childhood, along with the advent of MTV, Microwave Popcorn, Nintendo’s Duck Hunt and Zelda, and ET and Back to the Future….Damn that was along time ago…great memories though.

Ran into Ric Flair at the Gainesville airport in 2000 after a UF shellacking of MSU. I practically ran into him and tried to play it cool (loser) as I walked past, but my still half drunk buddy started the Flair strut and broke out the “TO BE THE BEST….” I’ve never been prouder.

The video – words cannot express how wonderful a piece of art it is – I have a feeling Poodleface definitely has a man-crush

As for this Duke you speak about – what land do they exist in, and what in hell do they have to do with CFB?

get off the green drink Orson and back on task

…just like that…

to #32,

No question, Fulmer is actually Big Van Vader without the helmet with the steam shooter thing (in other words, worthless…)

Just one more reason to hate Duke…

I read somewhere that Rich Rodriguez is a fan.

37 posts and no love for Tony Shiavone. I used to love when Flair would take the mic and say, “Lemme tell ya somethin’ Tony Shiavone….Magnum! Nakita! I’m coming for you…Woooooo!” Drop Mic and exit stage left.

On K
Other than developing “flopping” into a high-art form, greeting most fouls on his boys with a look associated with lower colon distress (a la Boeheim) and making really obnoxious commercials, not too much.
(Oh, the “extra benefits” for parental units, also.)

Fulmer’s defininetly Harley Race. The old, fat guy who used to be the champ, plays dirty as hell, would stab you in the back in a heartbeat, and can still whoop your ass when he feels like getting off his.

How could The University of Alabama be anyone but The American Dream?
