Was anyone else at the WCW Smackdown at MCI back in 1998 (I think that's what year it was)?
Two of the funniest "sports" moments I've ever seen in person happened there: Goldberg, who was a huge up-and-comer at that point, speared some Mexican dude in a skeleton custome and seriously injured his knee, but they didn't stop the match; and Sting joined the NWO by 'ripping' off his t-shirt to reveal a NWO shirt underneath. It was funny because he couldn't get the shirt ripped in half like Triple H in that Man Law commerical, until he remembered that the pre-cut part was at the bottom.
I used to be so into wrestling in the late 90's that it was sort of sick.

My favorite was Junkyard Dog (RIP) and the lovely Miss Elizabeth (RIP)
I think the Iron Sheik is running for some political office in Maryland, if I remember correctly

You can add John "Earthquake" Tenta of the Natural Disasters to that list who passed away yesterday. I'm a fairly big wrestling fan, although all the tragedy has finally began to deter me away from it a little bit. I'll flip it on if I'm home.
matty, do you remember in pipers pit when superfly snuka got housed with a coconut across the head? that was more than halarious
Actually I was pretty upset LOL
When I was a kid I was convinced wrestling was real

This has nothing to do with this thread, but this just happens to be the one that I'm looking at right now:
TO is now on the NBA telecast, from Dallas, wearing a Miami jersey. What a dick move.
Sorry for the fact that this had nothing to do with anything, I've been drinking...

Anyone remember SD "Special Delivery" Jones?
Dude was a fan favorite scrub who lost every week! I always felt so bad for the guy.

Duane Gill...or Gillberg! Hilarious
Nah, Mean Gene wasn't a wrestler...you can thank Jesse "The Body" for his nickname (http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/profiles/m/mean-gene.html)
wasn't at the WCW event in '98, but went to Starrcade in '97, when Goldberg whipped Steve McMichael's ass, and Sting beat Hollywood Hogan for the World Title. You think Nascar is full of rednecks...take in some wrestling live.
in college...we used to run dueling TVs in our common room, so that we could watch Monday Nitro and Monday Night Raw...AMD should remember that.
