Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2019 Me and my brothers used to drive my mum mad with all the wrestling we watched when we younger but if The Undertaker was on, she'd drop everything to watch him. When we told her the Streak was over - "Well that's just bloody typical!" Otherwise she just didn't care AT ALL. Although when we were watching Raw one night, Perry Saturn was on and she commented, "Bloody hell, look at Tattoo Harry there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted April 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2019 The only time my dad ever stopped reading his newspaper to watch wrestling was during Nash vs HHH, Hell in a Cell. Which proves Big Kev = ratings. By the time Triple H got the toolbox out he was giggling like a madman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 9, 2019 My sister used to love it when Randy Orton would come on the wrestling when I was watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted April 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2019 My mate's mum would have to be called into the room when Jake Roberts was on and she would coo a bit. Incidentally Jake Roberts looked quite a lot like my mate's dad. She also like Rick Martel, but she wasn't bothered if you didn't call her in for him.

RedRooster Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Itās something she flat out denies these days, but my sister used to have a huge crush on Chris Benoit. This was pre-2007, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted April 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2019 My mum loved Rick Rude. I think everybody's did at some point, though.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 My Dad really likes Austin. Used to stop and say 'He looks like he could actually have a fight' Also seemed to have a soft spot for Jake Roberts when I was a lot younger. No idea why, but he bought me a lot of Jake merch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted April 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2019 My Dad HATED wrestling and did everything to dissuade me from watching it. When we first got Sky in 1993 his favourite pastime was pointing out where wrestlers stomped their feet on the matĀ to coincide with a punch or to point out moves that obviously didn't connect. I noticed that the only time he'd be quiet was when Bret Hart wrestled, although he'd never admit it of course. He asked me a few months back what happened to Bret when he noticed his autobiography as part of my book collection, and seemed genuinely gutted when I told him about his concussions, stroke and cancer struggles. My Mum loved Hacksaw Jim Duggan for some reason and even paid for me to have a photo with him when she heard he was at Wales Comic Con a few years back.

Paid Members marc2j Posted April 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2019 My old man continues to say 'wrestling is just fat Americans shouting at each other', but he bloody loves him some Big Show. He said to me and my bro one time that he was impressed a bloke that size could do some of the moves that he did. Fair one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted April 9, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 9, 2019 "He's a big lad" my dad would say about Andre. And "Hogan can't be younger than me, look at his hair" in 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted April 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2019 My Dad begrudgingly took me and my best mate to Raw in Manchester back in 2004 - he thinks it's all bollocks and spent the whole night slagging it off, but he thought Ric Flair was the bollocks and loved joining in with all the woos, and got really into the six-man tag main event where Evolution (Ric, Dave, Trippers) faced B?????, Edge and HBK.Ā From that point he would always ask about what he's up to or how he was getting on - I showed him the celebrations from when he won the IC title and he was absolutely pissing himself.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted April 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2019 My oullad loved the Honky Tonk Man and woke me up for school one morning strumming a mandolin and doing a hip swivel while singing "I'm just a Honky Tonk Mang" and just walked back out. I'll take that one with me for a long time.Ā And the missus maintains that 'your man, H7' is very attractive.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted April 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2019 My girlfriend, having been made to sit stony-faced through a Royal Rumble, and a fair few TakeoversĀ is very interested in Velveteen Dream, and regularly asks for update on his status. She also is fascinated with Ric Flair, in particular his refuted claim that he slept with Halle Berry.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollthedice Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Even though he referred to him as Banana Man, Hogan was the only person my dad didnt say "turn this shit off" to. He took me to a show Bulldog was on over here in between him leaving WWF and joining WCW in 93 and referred to him as British Bullshit all night.
