Paid Members BomberPat Posted January 13, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 13, 2020 On 1/11/2020 at 7:42 PM, Snitsky's back acne said: Apparently Pampero Firpo was the inspiration for Randy Savage's 'Macho Man' act - the frizzy hair, the gravely voice etc. The "OH YEAH~!" catchphrase is a direct rip from Firpo, and probably the voice and delivery too - in later life Randy Savage was quite regretful of that, and of using Gorgeous George's old entrance theme, as he felt he had taken too much credit/praise for them, and not allowed the originators to receive the plaudits he felt they deserved. Their gimmicks were quite different, though - Firpo was a fairly straightforward "ethnic wildman" mid-century heel, it was only the promo style that Savage pinched.

I went to a mates funeral in Portsmouth back in October and he was there. I remember asking someone at the wake who the Hogan wannabe was. I was told he was “some wrestler”. And then remembered my mate telling me he was mates with “some wrestler” a few years back. Literally never heard of him. Was he ever a big name in British wrestling or has he always just been some wrestler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would describe him as "An ASW style comedy wrestler with limited ability, that looks OK on posters ". I challenge anyone to come up with a more diplomatic description.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted January 23, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2020 In the early '00s he seemed to be the go-to if any panel show or comedy sketch needed a wrestler, that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Wretch Posted January 25, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Justice Pain has died. Known for his stint in CZW, being buried by CM Punk in a shoot interview, being the brother of Nick Gage and not much else really. An obituary worthy of Lance Storm, that. RIP.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted January 25, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 25, 2020 Goddamn, must have only been in his mid to late 30s. Amazing that he was the one to go first and not Gage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad news, i was all over that early 00's CZW-era and Justice Pain was a massive part of that. Only ever thing i see about him these days though is when the clip of Necro Butcher punching fuck out of him during Cage of Death gets shared about from time to time.
