I think days later they had him interrupt Road Dogg. Now don’t get me wrong, he was popular, but that’s quite the come down from The Rock :grin:

Still remember his casket match v Undertaker.

We never saw him again after that

Great on the mic though

Trying to remember when this was. Must have been early into Takers run?

Very early.

Taker was actually nailing him into the coffin.

I’m thinking Survivor Series 92? Taker was a face in the match, you see and at the beginning of the year he was still a heel.

RIP Kamala. :pensive:

Clicked into Michael Hayes Twitter and it’s mainly just him talking about people who have died.

Fucking bleak job updating that website.

Four people in there with the surname von Erich, did a quick Google and three of them were suicides. Imagine that happening in your family, fuck.

I’m a bit older than you and remember seeing Kerry Von Erich wrestle in the old AWA promotion. Yeah, 4 of the 5 sons have died under tragic circumstances.

That website makes for some grim reading. These guys are just ā€œbrokenā€ when they get into their 30s/40s and many of them can’t overcome their demons. Makes the movie ā€œThe Wrestler,ā€ all that much more real portraying these guys near the end of their careers.

Incredible to think he wrestled with a fake foot for quite a while. Must have been in incredible pain the majority of time.

Yes, crazy indeed and no surprise about a pain killer addiction. Guy must have been popping those like tic tacs.

The old AWA used to be on an like a 6 hour block of wrestling on Saturday nights that I’d see as a kid. Old WWF took up an hour, then regional promotions like the AWA, NWA, etc. Would end up showing Mexican pro wrestling at like 1 AM with these crazy guys having matches with the ring ropes on fire or wrapped in barbed wire. Precursor to some of the crazy theatrics of ECW.

Love the meme. Curious but didn’t the Ultimate Warrior end up winning this fight? I remember watching it as a kid before they formed some sort of alliance.

Summerslam last week and now they have the Payback ppv tomorrow night? :thinking:

Are PPVs still a thing with the network? I’ve no idea how that all works now.

Seems to be. BT charging Ā£15 for tonight’s show :grin:
