shoe Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Saddened to hear of his passing. I loved the Barry Windham feud. His angle with Beefcake was really hardcore for the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrainfollower Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 It was a vicious angle. I can't however think of a single good Ron Bass WWF match. For years I thought he was pretty awful but catching up on Florida, including his heel turn and a very good match with Barry Windham, he's another guy like Butch Reed whose WWF run really hurt his perception by fans.

WingedEagle Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I still remember the Beefcake angle more than most from that era. I must've been 8 or 9 years old and that big red X they put on the screen was just incredible. Kayfabe me absolutely thought I shouldn't have been watching.

Parties Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I think I learned the word "Censored" from that angle. Wrestling's got a lot of vocab for the youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a really good match with Tito Santana from MSG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Co-sign on the Santana match. I actually thought the Hair vs. Hair Match with Beefcake on SNME was perfectly acceptable, even decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conker8 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 He had a good match against Buddy Rose in the 70's. I believe it was 1977. Like him on the Florida footage I saw. Also I love that angle with him, Black Bart and JJ Dillon in Ricky Steamboat's gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Always was a big fan of his, even if he scared me as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 RIP Ron Bass. The Beefcake angle hooked me for life. I also want to cosign the Santana match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
