Guest Cam Chaos Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 http://www.armpitwrestling.com/Backstage%20Fights.htm I'd not heard of Eddy vs Hawk before or Vince and Angle playfighting on a plane until Taker choked Angle out. Anyone else heard about these? Which story listed do you find the most entertaining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 The Angle/Taker story would have been even better had Angle defended himself, but I think he knew better. He could have wiped the floor with the Undertaker. The Jericho/Goldberg story still makes me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loss Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 There have probably been others just as cool, but has anyone in wrestling ever been *more cool* than Rick Rude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cam Chaos Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Didn't he fuck Jake Roberts wife and then basically ask him what he planned to do about it in WWF? Also does no one find Zach Gowen hilarious referring to talking to someone as "cutting the promo" and then acting hard when it took Hopalong Hardass and two buddies to beat someone up so they "took the bump of their life"? Wow, A 3 on 1 beating where two pro wrestlers kick the crap out of the guy while Limpy lays in some blows so hard he stains the shirt his momma gave him, what a tough amputee.

sek69 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Rick Rude is hands down the coolest motherfucker to ever step in a wrestling ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kilgore Trout Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I still find this bit so funny: Warrior got right in Rude's face and said, "I don't have to, because I'm the Warrior." Rude knocked him silly with one punch and walked away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 This is my favorite so far and i am not even a quarter of a page down. Capt. Lou Albano vs. Shane McMahon, late 80s Albano was one of the people Vince Sr. asked Vince Jr. to "take care of" after he died. So Lou apparently tested this one out one day. An 11-yr-old Shane would always walk up to Lou and say, "What's up, Fatman?" This would piss Lou off and give the boys around a chuckle. One day Shane went up to Lou and said once again, "What's up, Fatman?" Lou reportedly told Shane if he called him Fatman one more time, he'd forget who he was and slap the taste out of his mouth. Sure enough, little Shane said, "No problem....Fatman." Then little Shane got slapped a good one! (thanks to Matt Mazany). WINNER: Shane, who will soon be the new owner of WWE for decades to come.

Guest Cam Chaos Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I still find this bit so funny: Warrior got right in Rude's face and said, "I don't have to, because I'm the Warrior." Rude knocked him silly with one punch and walked away. Rude knocked out quite a few guys in his time. I think it's well known as a bouncer he used to dish out one punch KOs to belligerent drunks. Then again the guy was ripped to shreds while his punters were likely fat, out of shape, inner city sweathogs so it's not hard to believe. Warrior on the other hand clearly bought his own hype before he started giving seminars telling off towelheads and burning flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sass Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hawk would have killed Eddy. Since he's still alive, I'll assume they just got in eachother's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cam Chaos Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Well Bad News Allen beat the shit out of three Guerreros so Eddy must not have the same yellow streak otherwise he'd probably be a smear thanks to Hawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I don't find it hard to believe it's just the way it's written is so funny. Imagining Warrior acting all tough and Rick just casually punching him in the face is hilarious.

Guest Sass Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Urban legend here: Rude once slapped a guy so hard in the face, open hand mind you, that he knocked the guy out cold. This was when Rude was a bouncer or in his early days of wrestling. I thought that was so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I just have the mental image of Rude being dressed in one of his pimp suits he wore when he was DX's bodyguard, knocking Warrior silly, then adjusting his tie and walking away. I would of loved to see Bad News whipping 3 people's asses at the same time. I know he got a silver medal in Judo, but they must have been attacking him one at a time kung-fu movie style.

Guest Some Guy Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 There have probably been others just as cool, but has anyone in wrestling ever been *more cool* than Rick Rude? No, there has been none cooler than Rude. He knocked out PN News with an open hand slap. Meltzer wrote about it in Tributes. I've always been a huge Rude mark.

He got a bronze medal in the Olympics but from what I read he got screwed over by the reff and should've actually got a gold medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Not to act like a Dave Meltzer magnet, but if Benoit and Guerrero got in a legit fight, who'd have the upperhand? It's obvious Benoit's a badass, but Eddy's no slouch himself, and has a strong amateur background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I don't believe half of those stories. They're just too sloppy. No time or dedication was spent on any of them. They're each one or two sentences long, with no details, and are all submitted by "readers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cam Chaos Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 He notes his sources on where he got most of them. It's just a list of known out of ring fights, not stolen police statements, I'm sure elsewhere on the web if you looked you could find the mile long accounts of each incident that will satisfy your scepticism. Benoit over Guerrero due to Guerrero yellow streak exploitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, most of them were actually reported in the Observer or in the Tributes book, at least the ones involving dead wrestlers. The FVordell Walker-Steiner one was true. Many of them also come from the shoot interviews out there. It isn't that you shouldn't believe the stories given by the readers but rather the wrestlers who told them.
