Wrestlers you are a fan of that most people don't like.
For me it is Bob Holly. I saw one of his first matches when he was working the Gulf Coast area. He sometimes gets unfairly shit on. Plus his book is as good as Foley and Jericho's first books.

I remember how upset people got when he broke Stevie Richards' nose, who oddly enough was one of those guys that people seem to like that I never did.

I love big fat wrestlers, except for Kaitlyn. Basically because I was 6"6 300 plus growing up so I loved seeing Viscera squash guys..

On topic, Test. I mentioned this in another thread, but I'm pretty sure I was the only person I knew who always liked the guy.
Also Jeff Jarrett. |

I'm not the only one on here who liked them, I think #1-wwf-fan was on board as well, but Deuce 'n Domino were fucking awesome and I'll always be a mark for them.

I was shocked at how ripped Masters is in person. And how cheap he works. I figured he would get way more to work a match.

Douglas went from being boring as fuck to being pretty good. Hated his belly to belly suplex finisher. Loved the Pittsburgh Plunge.

Lol here's the thing: you have Sabu putting guys through tables, guys smacking ech other with chairs and shit and it gets a two count. Old 240 pound Shane starts using a belly to belly and beats guys left and right.

Monty Brown... Nobody liked that guy in TNA even though he was the 'uberface' at the top of their card at the time..

Another guy I loved that no one talks about is the California Hippie Mike Boyette. When he died last year most people had no idea who he was.

I figured you would know him Seth. I watched that Paul Boesch Documentary you linked to. What a great documentary. The furniture store that sponsored it is where my now ex-wife and I got our bedroom set. With Mike Boyette,the first time I saw him my parents kept talking about watching him versus the Fields brothers at the Gulfport Armory. They use to go almost every week with my paternal grandparents. I think that was the old Gulf Coast Championship Wrestling fed. When I was around 4 or 5 months old,my grandparents were babysitting me. It was Saturday night so they took me to the armory because they were not going to miss the weekly wrestling shows. I am really surprised no indy is running the Alabama/Mississippi gulf coast region. Last year for 5 months EPW was running Kiln and Bay St Louis. And drawing good crowds. But the owner is an idiot and fucked over the two places they ran on money. So now most venues don't want to bother with wrestling. |

yep he was a big star for the Gulf Coast territory. Gulf Coast Wrestling was huge back then with the local fans. Such stars as The Fields brothers, Cowboy Bob Kelly, Ken Lucas, Rip Tyler & others. Mike never really broke out as a star anywhere else other than there that I can recall. I did like him as Apocalypse in Memphis. He was managed by a young Jim Cornette in his rookie year. Classic Gulf Coast Wrestling Rip Tyler vs Cowboy Bob Kelly -Plus Don Fargo is mad! |

When Mike Boyette died I found on youtube part of a match where it was him teaming up with a young Bob Holly. I wish there was more footage out there of the 70s GCCW. I always hear how great it was. |

Maybe it's just me, but for me Ryback's latest "troll" persona is really fucking funny. I also really liked Hardcore Holly and the "Don't Piss Me Off" incarnation of Jeff Jarrett.

I have been a fan of Jeff Jarrett since the USWA on ESPN days. While he has never been great on the mic,in the ring he is good. He is a guy that needed a good mouthpiece. It is sad that besides Paul Heyman,managers are pretty much dead in WWE and TNA. Wildkat Sports and Powerslam Pro have a great manager in Hardbody Harper. I have seen him come out and in less than a minute get the entire crowd booing him. And this was a crowd where maybe 5 people knew who he was. |
