Magnum Milano Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 ^^ I was just going to post that. I challenge anyone to watch it and not have a tear in their eye as they do. *EDIT* The WWE tribute video that is. My post doesn't quite work when it starts a new page!

The Dart Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 I imagine they'll do something to honour him at the Royal Rumble.
Paid Members theironshake Posted December 3, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 3, 2020 Glad WWE paid whatever it cost to get Frank and My Way. Pat was amazing that video had the tears in my eyes. Pats finishes were the best. RIP

If I remember his turn correctly it was during a feud with Ken Patera, then he became a fantastic brawling babyface. Also. Again. The Alley Fight rules. yeah, realising I worded that horribly - I didn't mean that his peak as a brawler was in the '70s, but that those brawls were what I think of as synonymous with the WWWF style, even if he was slightly late in the day for it. I'd love to see the tag team stuff that pretty much everyone lauded him and Ray Stevens for. He's always struck me as someone who has held in far higher esteem among wrestlers than by the fans, and much of that will be his mind for producing matches and coming up with finishes, but also will be because a lot of his best stuff is lost.

Try and see if anyone's selling anything on PWO. I assume someone on there might have some found footage.

What a win win situation that is!
