This old but yet amazing video was posted by someone in the H.O.R. Discussion Group a while back but I keep forgetting to post it up so here you go. I’m stunned this video has under 20,000 views. This gem has definitely fell below the radar. Have a great weekend evrrreybody and don’t forget to pick up MEGA TICKETS for August 5th. Last one sold out and you know these things come fast as shit.
One of the first things that gave me my second go around with wrestling started in 1997 on Monday Night Raw with the Nation of Domination and the young Rock who started his third person Rock gimmick. He used to come out rocking all denim and then switched to the silk shirts and loafers with no sox. Fucking Class. When he was a heel from 1997 to 2001 was my favorite Rock gimmick. Priceless promos and even though he was a heel, the crowd still loved him. I haven’t watched wrestling in years but I don’t lose sleep over it because I know there will never be another Rock character that will come along.
It’s baaaaaack.
Back in the day when I was a wrestling head, I used to lose my shit when New Jack would come out. Anyone who hits someone with a computer keyboard while Natural Born Killaz is playing is a good day.
Every so often I go on a youtube bender of classic wrestling that I used to watch. My era came watching WWF superstars Saturday morning and WCW on channel 50. Even fucked with G.L.O.W when it was on. To be honest I could never convince my mom to get me the pay per view for it. Keep in mind back in the day, you couldn’t just click to order pay per views. We had basic Cable TV Montgomery so to get a Pay Per view you had to go to Cable TV Montgomery headquarters and pick up the black box. Mom wanted no part of that shit. What I had to do in order to find out the results was stay up late that Sunday night for the George Michael Sports Machine who would read the WWF results at the end of the show. Not only are these wrestling promos hilarious but it always takes me back to when I was a kid. A time when shit was so much more simpler. I think if we knew when we were little that life would eventually be dull, stressful, and repetitive, we wouldn’t have enjoyed it so much back then.
Think back to what your daily routine was on Summer break. The part that always amazes me is that I was able to have so much fun with friends hanging out and we really didn’t have any money. At all. Once and while my mom or Grandma would give me a couple dollars but that shit would be spent right away on Mountain Dew or on packs of Topps baseball cards. Of course there was always that one friend in the group who would buy Pro Set football cards. The fuck. I think that’s part of my obsession with watching old wrestling promos. Another thing I realized since Ive gotten older is how much I actually believed the wrestlers. I really thought Ric Flair owned 9 houses had 30 limousines all filled with women. Here are the first promos I picked out. A tribute to one of my favorite. Im going to keep posting new ones every Friday. If you come across or know of some great promos feel free to share them.
