MUSTACHE WEDNESDAY: KOKO B WARE

Any reference to Koko without the Piledriver video would be wholly insufficient. Thanks for including. Frankie would be proud.

No Sgt. Slaughter? So what if he was the Iron Sheik’s partner? We all make mistakes.

That dude loves him some birds.

The Hulk’s feet have grown 3 sizes since that video! and he is 50+….that’s about right

@ #1

good call on the bird’s name.

the first few seconds of that video would have you thinking it was “glory days” by springsteen.

ps-that’s proof that you can find fucking ANYTHING on you tube.

I love it when he starts swinging his sledge hammer at whatever’s close. “Koko, no!!! That’s a structural beam!”

Watching this just makes me think that it would be great if someone would make a whole ‘Boogie Nights’ movie treatment of the wrestling industry’s rise and fall from the 80’s into some point into the 90’s or 2000’s… There has to be enough material, after all. Finding enough competent steroid filled actors might be a problem, though.

3 things.

1. There should be a Wrestling You-Tube day of the week.

2. The GhostBuster is one of the most underrated finishers ever.

3. Love the bunda with the DaisyDukes on.

Any man that looks like he could kill you AND simultaneously be working the host stand at Rainforest Cafe’ is alright by me.

Man, growing up when only “rich” kids had cable and TBS only made me realize that Ted Turner was a programming genius by force feeding us wrasslin for 6-8 hrs on the weekends. Growing up in Mobile meant on Saturdays, starting at 10am, we had a steady dose of Bullet Bob Armstrong and his 20’’ guns, The Flame, a fat pyromaniac, and Buck Robley- an insane Asylum escapee who would ship himself inside cardboard boxes addressed to different villians and would pop out and attack said villians when they went to open the box during their interviews. The Freebirds, Junkyard Dog, Ric Flair, the Von Erichs, it was a pleathora of bad hair, old school suspender style wrasslin tights, and cheap shots…..Seriously, wrasslin from 10am til 9pm on Sat and Sun, went from Alabama to Mississippi then to Georgia, those were the days——-Jimmy Superfly Snuka and Ron Atlas actually made me go out and buy crappy Weider Supplements like Super Weight Gainer 5000 to try to get big. As a 12 year old, all I got was fatter and more acne due to the immense sugar content, but I felt stronger, even without working out hard with crappy Weider Cement weights.

Oh and Hacksaw Jim Duggan…..
Oh my God, I stumbled onto this gem on You Tube and I am crying crying from laughter………

That has to be the best Mean Gene wrasslin commentator impression I have seen

The NCAA has fucked with the playclock again. Welcome back, short games.

40 second clock a la the NFL has been insituted for 2008. Less Football. Yay. Sarcasm off

Threadjack alert:

  Phil Fulmer’s influence appear’s to be spreading outside Knoxville in this year’s Fulmer Cup race.

  As you were.

We had Qube (Bugs Bunny cable) in Columbus back then, which gave us Danger Mouse, Harry Caray, and a shitload of Ric Flair. C-Bus may have been the northern most market back then, but me not be so sho’.

For all of you who still give a shit about wrestling after the rest of us got bored with Woo-ing all over the office yesterday while fucking our secretaries, it was supposed to be Tony Schiavoni (sp?) today.

Serious case of Nossatall for the woman in the would-be “Daisy Dukes.”

She also has some sort of spazmatic walking gait. Whatever her ailment, it sure looked like it hurt.

All this terrific rasslin stuff reminds me of the good ol’ days, mid 1980’s on channel 36 in Atlanta on a Saturday night. From 7pm to midnight, Joe Pedicino and Bonnie (straight outta Riverdale) Blackstone brought you MidSouth (with Jim Ross), AWA, Memphis (Lance Russell with Jerry Lawler, the Fabulous Ones, the Sheepherders, and a very young Jeff Jarrett), Florida (for a brief time), Texas (from the world famous Sportatorium in Denton) – as a teenager this was the highlight of my week.

ONe of the most memorable wrestling “works” of all time was when Jerry Lawler dropped the title to Superstar Bill Dundee – Lance Russell went looking for him and found Lawler in front of his house, laying in the gutter with beer cans all around him. Priceless television.

I asked for Tony Schiavone for Mustache Wednesday, and I get Koko B. Ware?

Hey, that’s when Superstar Billy Graham could walk. And work with concrete.
