Jerry "The King" Lawler, one of my favourite in-ring workers during the 70s and 80s, early 90s. He had great matches with the likes of Randy Savage, Nick Bockwinkel, Terry Funk, Bill Dundee, Kerry Von Erich, Eddie Gilbert, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Ken Patera, Bob Sweetan, and many more.

And my favourite tag team of all-time...the Midnight Express managed by Jim Cornette.

Nope unless you enjoy seeing a guy in bunny suit try and hump another guy  :lookingup:

...and they've pretty much buried any interesting guy with potential (Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro, Damien Sandow who've they've turned into a joke)..none of these guys are getting anywhere any time soon. The guys in NXT are better off in NXT.

Still no Sting, no Taker, no Punk. Just tons of Yawn Cena. And yeah the Russian guy against America storyline from the 1980s featuring Rusev who's no great shakes in-ring. WWE isn't wrestling anymore if last week's Raw is any indication. Nope, it's a weird and disturbing kids show with bizarre underlying sexual undertones.

The only cool stuff recently was from Randy Orton who's now on hiatus doing a film. You haven't missed much of anything, dude.

I was a bigger fan back then too. The characters were over the top and WWF was clearly more in the sports entertainment realm already but back then, the wrestlers and the wrestling was at least actually entertaining, fun, and exciting to watch. Watching it now feels like a chore, it's often boring, stupid, makes no sense, and the wrestling is often horrible or very rushed. Every now and then they sneak in an actual good match usually featuring Ziggler, Cesaro, or Rollins but you're lucky if you get one good match on a show nowadays.

Back in the 1970s-80s, Nick Bockwinkel was the master at making a convincing argument during an heel promo. Obviously Bobby Heenan was always fantastic on the mic too.

I have to be honest - I know the name Nick Bockwinkel but never watched any of his matches...

can you recommend some good 1's for me?

and how far we going back? I started watching back in the day, all I remember I was like 7 or 8 (I think) and Blackjack Mulligan was clawing people's heads and a big red X was on the screen lol... anyway thats when I started.

Thanks.

There's a lot of Bockwinkel classics on Youtube. His matches with Curt Hennig are some of his very best - also put Hennig on the map as a main eventer. Look him up in matches against Hogan, Rick Martel, Billy Robinson, Jumbo Tsuruta, Jerry Lawler, Larry Zbyszko, Terry Funk in particular. There's also some more obscure unexpected footage out there such as him against Macho Man, Bruiser Brody, and Leo Burke. If the match is listed as 20-30 minutes, it's usually pretty good but I even found Bockwinkel entertaining against job guys.

So Sting made his WWE tonight at Survivor Series.

I thought I'd never see the day he stepped foot in a WWE ring.

Yeah and the right guy actually went over big at the end - Dolph Ziggler, the guy right now with the potential to be the future. Too bad there was still crap with the Bunny and too much Cena.

Sting WCW tribute

Yesterday - A Sting Tribute

Man Called Sting

Sting, a true legend and the franchise for WCW in the 1990s. No way does WWE's entrance theme quite do him justice.
