Fantastic entertainment. The build up to Hulk Hogan & Mister T. vs Paul Orndorff & Roddy Piper in WrestleMania I was great stuff.

Agreed, one of the most well-executed angles of that era. The Orndorff heel turn on Hogan was a thing of beauty.

Just brilliant stuff.

If you watch any of Young Rock all of those guys were really good friends.

Suck. The pile driver will never be forgotten. (Especially by my childhood friends with neck problems at 45)

Well......He was no Barry O who was never out of a match. That is, until he lost.....

RIP. Recently A&E showed a bunch of biography episodes on WWF wrestlers including Andre the Giant, Roddy Piper, Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior, Mick Foley, Macho Man, Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin. If you're a fan of the old school WWF it's well worth checking out.

Shit, I’m lucky I didn’t break my sister’s arm doing the Chief Jay Strongbow arm hold.

On this theme, does WWE post disclaimers on their shows?

Went down the rabbit hole one night of dead former wrestlers, how they died and their ages. Crazy.
