Its Wrasslin Wednesday with Classic Piper's Pit Footage - The Coconut Incident !

Its Wrasslin Wednesday !! While there has been a Blizzard up here in the Buffalo area, I've been warming my thoughts with classic WWF footage.

 

This is an absolute gem !!

 

A classic episode of Piper's Pit with Roddy attacking Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. This is Roddy Piper at his best, antagonizing the "Face" and enraging the fans.

Wrasslin Wednesday: RIP Paul Bearer but an Awesome Figure Remains !!

Sad news to report on this edition of Wrasslin Wednesday, William Moody aka Paul Bearer, has passed away at the age of 58 on Tuesday March 5th, 2013. Sad news for anyone who was witness to the Undertakers early rise to fame with Paul Bearer at his side. Condolences to friends and family of Mr. Moody.

 

Even though his departure is sad news, his figure is truly a classic ! Packaged with Mankind for the Managers Series 1 from Jakks Pacific in 1997. Paul Bearer is one of the best of the early Jakks figures.

 

Limited articulation is made up for with exceptional detail and one of the best accessories ever produced .... an URN !! This figure captures Paul Bearer's likeness perfectly. The urn fits well in his right hand while he points the way to the top for his Undertaker !!

 

Got something to add ? All are welcome to leave a comment !

The Voltron Robots win the WWF titles....and tragedy ensues!! THE WWE REPORT !!!!

As predicted in my last post about Voltron < CLICK HERE AND READ - VOLTRON > my son broke the Voltron Dairugger robot. Oh well......At least I got the post in with pictures :) I don't know what happened exactly ..... but I'm pretty sure it happened like this.......

.........and Go-Lion goes for the pin and its 1...2....3......!!!!!
 

The Voltron Robots are the new WWF Tag Team Champions!!!!!

But their celebration is short lived!! The Legion of Doom....Road Warriors Hawk and Animal, enraged by their lack of championship matches attack the newly crowned champions!!!

Dairugger's leg is broken by the vicious shot to the knee by Hawk....but Animal is setting up a table....



OH NO!!! Animal, showing an enormous feat of strength, is lifting Go-Lion on his shoulders,  and it looks like Hawk will deliver the flying clothesline......

 



.......right through the table!!!!!!!

The Road Warriors enjoy their hollow victory only for a few moments.....

...before the cavalry hits the ring !!!!!

The Rock is enraged by the actions of he L.O.D.!!!!

He vows revenge for his fallen friends.

 

If ya smeeeeellllllllllllll what the ROCK......



....is COOKIN !!!!!!

or maybe he just dropped it and the leg broke off..........

 

maybe.

Hasbro's Ric Flair with Flair Snare !!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ric Flair.......Stylin and Profilin!!!!!!!!

 

In 1993, Hasbro' Series 6 produced not just an action figure....but an icon to all wrestling fans worldwide!!!

 

The Greatest Professional Wrestler to walk this planet captured in plastic!

Now I know the look on his face makes him look a bit insane, but this is one hell of a figure. Very detailed and well done. I absolutely LOVE the LJN wrestlers and had to settle for my own customized version of Flair back in the day. Flair didn't make it to the WWF til 1991 and the Big Rubber Wrestlers were but a memory by then....but at least we got this guy!

 

Oh, and yes, Ric Flair was my idol growing up. He is the Greatest Wrestler of all time.

Vintage WWF Ice Cream Bars, you can lick your favorite wrestler.....

Reis over at dorkhorde.blogspot.com posted about his favorite childhood frozen treats and I started looking up WWF (currently WWE) Ice Cream Bars and what a nostalgia trip! The videos are funny as hell!! Check em out!!

(and while looking these up I found out that in the WWE - CM Punk - did some angle about the Ice cream bars so if you are a fan here is some history. If you are like me - got out of wrestling after the demise of the Philadelphia based ECW folded - then enjoy:)
