Is this series WWE-afiliated or will they actually approach taboo topics for their subjects? Expand This is basically a WWE Network/Peacock doc, except on A&E instead.

Expand I thought it was fun too, but the whole thing was faker than pro wrestling. Like I really believe Triple H was just waiting around the WWE Warehouse for Mick's call...lole. But I enjoyed it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I don't know, that's why I asked. I don't know if this is like a documentary, a Dark Side of the Ring kind of thing or what the show even is. I just heard A&E was doing wrestling shows.

strobogo Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Worst rings to bump in: Lucha rings 40s/50s/60s that just used boxing rings WWF from late 80s to the early Attitude Era Because I've actually bumped in a boxing ring before and it didn't seem nearly as awful as when you see bumps in the WWF ring especially 1989-1992ish but the 1994 rings also seemed absolutely brutal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall Dave mentioning how WWF rings suddenly started having way more give to them when Vince became an regular character taking bumps.

sek69 Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Conversely, I remember the AWA rings in the 80s being so springy that the Rockers would purposely jump up and down during Larry Nelson's ring introductions to make him bounce around.

Coffey Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 My dad used to watch wrestling in the sixties & seventies & would often reference a lot of things that aren't easy to find. Growing up & living in Indiana, I reckon his exposure to live wrestling was the old Dick the Bruiser WWA loop from Terre Haute up to Fort Wayne by way of Indianapolis but whatever he got on television, which I imagine was based out of Indy or Chicago, I don't know. I don't think anything from Detroit would have played locally. Obviously I am familiar with the likes of a Dick the Bruiser, Moose Cholak or Bobo Brazil but my dad often references the "Algerian Hangman" which is apparently a move? I have no idea what that move is or who used it. Anyone familiar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Probably a submission move that starts off like a neckbreaker and then the attacker leans forward, pulling the opponent off the mat by the neck and holding him there. That was Butcher Vachon's finisher and he and Mad Dog were often billed from Algeria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that always stuck with her was the Iron Russian. I didn't know what the fuck she was talking about until I finally found results from Al Haft's MWA posted somewhere. Literally first match I saw, tag team called the Iron Russians. Literally I couldn't figure this out for 15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
