The Japanes don't get enough credit for their wild and whacky ways. Even though I don't understand what the crazy fuckers are saying, they still make me laugh my ass off.

Ever hear of a Japanese wrestler called Atushi Onita? You think Mick Foley is hardcore? Onita invented a match called the Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match. Basically if you get thrown into the barbed wire, explosions go off. The object is to end the match before the timer starts counting down and the ring explodes. No, seriously. I've been watching wrestling for 25 years and I thought I had seen it all.

I want to get tickets to that show so I can sit in the audience and chant "GO JERICHO GO!"
Just waiting for Jericho to start cutting promos on everybody. I'm a HUGE Jericho mark. He's probably one of my top five all-time favs.

Does Jericho still have his band (Fozzy?). And I agree with Olean Ron. He was always entertaining in the ring and on the mic. I won't go as far as saying he was as entertaining as the Hot Rod, but pretty at least he tried to continue that tradition IMO.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper is the greatest heel (alongside Ric Flair and Andy Kaufman) of all-time. Watch his enterance for the first WrestleMania. The fucking Garden looks like it's going to riot and lynch Piper. Nobody could piss people off like Roddy.

I used to have his rubber action wrestler. Him, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Hillbilly Jim (?) and the Junkyard Dog. They all came with little belts to wear. You couldn't really wrestle with those stupid things. They were in one fixed position. You could only bounce them towards each other. What a stupid waste of my parents money. They should have bought me more Transformers or He Man guys instead.

 Starring Rowdy Roddy Piper as Sam Hell I have never seen this, but I knew a kid back in the day that used to talk about this all the time. |

My favorite Rowdy Movie was Body Slam, which also featured Face from the A-Team and Captain Lou. Rowdy as Quick Rick is worth the rental, if you can find it that is.

Ah....the Piper-Snuka coconut incident. I loved how Snuka sold the coconut shot like he was hit in the head with a lead pipe. Rowdy Roddy was the f'in MAN!!!! Like I said, the three greatest heels of all-time are Piper, Ric Flair and Andy Kaufman. Seriously, if you can, check out Andy Kaufman's stuff when he was feuding in Lawler in Memphis. Great, great stuff.
