Another Wrestler Bites the dust

Not exactly a 'Current' Wrestler but Brian 'Crush' Adams popped his clogs today,the list keeps growing.

That's uncool.

I read somewhere in wikipedia on the history of American Football. Back in the late 19th century, when the sport was new to the country, the players were unprotected, thus the result of some deaths. The US Congress reacted on this one, and banned the sport unless they would come up with preventive measures to eliminate the deaths. Thus, came the paddings and helmet.

If the US Government would react on these wrester deaths recently, and acted to ban the 'entertainment sport' unless they can put paddings on them, that would mean bad business for the McMahons.

Indeed*!*

What ever happened to Giant Haystacks?

is congress going to spend valuable time investigating wrastlin' the same way they did with baseball? i surely hope not. they have more important things to do that they continually fail at.

Or the White Trash Olympics.

Demolition were class though.

WWF or whatever cant touch the British wrestling of the 70s and 80s - men like Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks, Dave "Fit" Finlay, Kendo Nagasaki - class!! - and free on a Sat afternoon!

A certain song by Bis springs instantly to mind...

Their entrance music is probably my favorite wrestling entrance song of all-time.

"Here comes the Ax, Here comes the Smasher..."
