Wrestling Pic Thread

[$heriff Tom]

While watching some of my vintage tapes last night, I was coming across some zany things that have gone forgotten in the zany world of pro grappling. I decided to point and click with the camera phone, and save a couple of these for posterity, here on this very board. Here and there I will post some admittedly grainy and bad quality shots of wrestling moments that may give you a chuckle or a gasp.

In addition, use this thread to post any wrestling pics that catch your fancy for any reason.

To start us off, any ya'll remember.....NWO Nasty Boys?? Yes, another NWO ruse. Those Nasty Boys were just so gullible. In the ring poor Knobbs told Hogan that "the money, the decimal point seems to be in the wrong place....and what about the Lear jets and the limos?" Hogan responded by yelling for the Nastys to never wear "the colors" without permission, and he orchestrated quite the attack on the hapless Nasty Boys.

Here's another offering....its the Pillman gun incident! Just in time for the Pillman DVD release next week. I have not looked forward to a wrestling DVD so much since the Benoit and Guerrero packages hit the shelves.

Ah, this gun thing was as over the top as one would remember it. After the "lights went out and the feed went dead" while Pillman pointed the gun at Austin, Vince and co. back at the taping could not even get communication from anyone out there through another two matches. When they finally reached a director on the scene, he said they were huddled in the truck, too nervous to go into the still darkened house, but that he was pretty sure he heard "two pops which could have been explosions....I dont know."

LOL!

this is a classic Pic. Flair Vs Lawler early 80's havent seen this match but this one seems special

Cool pic. I have never seen the two tangle, but I have a tape of some Mid-Southern stuff, and there is a confrontation at the podium between the two, which included a couple of minutes of barbs from one to the other.

Here's another one from my point and click archives. Ah, who can forget the infamous NWO beatdowns. There was a time where every Nitro was ending with the NWO leaving a mess in the ring, as garbage flew from every direction. This particular incident was a good one, with Randy Savage getting the beatdown, and the unique tag by Hogan, while Giant held Elizabeth at bay. She ended up getting some paint on the back for her troubles, as well.

LOL @ the litter in the ring.
