Yo King! I was just looking at your Animated gif and I liked it for the most part, but I do have an issue with it! How can you put Jerry Lawler in there? Harley Race was the real king, baby. Lawler can't even lace Harley's boots. LOL!
King MunshunPosted on 08/29/07 at 21:45:12

...Because he was Jerry "The King" Lawler. I don't recall hearing about a Harley "The King" Race.

Except after he won the King Of The Ring in 1986

Well, I didn't know that. And he's STILL not going in the av.
91Posted on 08/29/07 at 22:09:17

When they did the "King" Harley Race gimmick, Jerry Lawler sued and I think he may have even won. So I'd say Lawler may have precidence over Race. And Munshun, I take it you've never seen any WWF shows from the late 80's since Race was a noteworthy feature back then.

Not really. I think i started getting into it in maybe the late 80's, early 90's. But what I saw was really infrequent, and being a kid I usually only paid attention to the Hulk Hogan/Macho Man stuff. My interest peaked in the Doink the Clown, Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels era.
91Posted on 08/29/07 at 22:37:06

Wait, when it comes to naming the focal points of the era when your interest peaked, the first guy you name is Doink the Clown? There's something so wrong about that.

Hey, now don't knock Doink! He was cool until they turned him into a face! But it could have been worse, he could have said Max Moon!

I never really got to see most of the high moments. I was a kid, so I wasn't really interested in technical prowess or match storytelling, I was interested in the characters... and evil Doink was pretty cool.
BULLYPosted on 08/29/07 at 23:33:33

Yeah, heel Doink was pretty much awesome.
UnrightPosted on 08/30/07 at 04:35:17

I thought Battle Kat was better... :-/
Rick GarrardPosted on 08/30/07 at 07:10:42

Yo Munshun... why isn't Kevin James in your gif avatar?  

He is the King of Queens afterall.
pszPosted on 08/30/07 at 14:39:22

Harley Race was King in WWF until he retired. Then King Haku showed up to replace him.
91Posted on 08/30/07 at 18:36:09

Evil Doink was cool... but still, it does explain so much about you that you would put him first.

I was still a kid at the time. It was either him or Hogan going first ;p

And I refuse to acknowledge the existence of Kevin James, regardless of how much his mass grows.

and Homer... there are no words.

Don't forget that Jim Duggan also had that distinction!

Followed by Randy "Macho King" Savage
pszPosted on 08/31/07 at 01:08:48

Yup. And two-time King Bret Hart. And "King Of Harts" Owen Hart. And HHH. And and and...


Macho King and King Booker were the best, though ;->
Zedja - TNMWA ChampionPosted on 08/31/07 at 08:47:41

King Tonga aka King Haku

Two-time king.
91Posted on 09/01/07 at 04:07:58

And Sonny King.
Memphis_VicePosted on 09/01/07 at 04:19:16

and Derrick King.

Rick GarrardPosted on 09/01/07 at 05:17:57

what about Freebird referee and WCW/NWA jobber...

Rocky King?
Rick GarrardPosted on 09/01/07 at 05:20:48

and surely you couldn't leave out...

Moondog King!

or King Kong Bundy!

Funny thing is I just got through reading a story about the history of the Moondogs. http://www.lethalwrestling.com/opinions/news_content.php?fileName=711
I have a good few memories of being on the edge of my seat, terrified at the brutality this pack of dogs was dealing to the Memphis faces. Good stuff. Here's a pic of King for good measure:




Now that is forum avatar material.
mamushiPosted on 09/01/07 at 08:58:41

what about Rodney King?
91Posted on 09/01/07 at 14:08:30

One day we're going to have King Charles over here.

Perhaps he's taking a stand for a cause.

Maybe it's a protest because WWE will pay to cloth him but not fix the hole in the ozone layer.
91Posted on 09/01/07 at 19:37:04

I can just see Vince McMahon sitting in his office while he and Coach spray thirty year old aerosols around, all the while Vince cackles evily.

They need to make that an angle.
mamushiPosted on 09/01/07 at 19:42:59

and they could club baby harp seals with the empty cans
91Posted on 09/01/07 at 20:28:13

Don't be ridiculous - it's Mediterranean monk seals, they're actually an endangered species.
mamushiPosted on 09/01/07 at 23:06:53

but that'd be like booking to the IWC.  Baby Harp Seals would be booking to the mainstream.  :)
91Posted on 09/02/07 at 00:18:06

In that case, they'd be better off with baby pandas, they're REALLY mainstream, plus have you ever seen how tiny they are? They'd be really defenseless at the hands of a ruthless billionaire.
mamushiPosted on 09/02/07 at 00:35:11

I smell a "Panda Punting" angle...
Mr. Ken KennedyPosted on 09/02/07 at 00:53:16

baby Koalas
91Posted on 09/02/07 at 02:21:09

This 'animal killer' gimmick is even better than Snitskys 'baby killer' gimmick. After a few weeks of this, they can have Batista come out and say something like "Vince, if you're going to kill animals then I have a problem with that as I am THE animal." He can then reveal he at one with nature, and always come to the ring with various woodland creatures, including A-Train as a sasquatch.

Baby Pandas would be best. They're the poster animal for the World Wildlife Fund who are, coincidentally enough, an organization that protect animals.

It works on so many levels...
91Posted on 09/02/07 at 03:42:01

During cruiserweight matches, I also think they should always go to a double feature to show Vince drowning some puppies. Coach can be torturing ants or something.

Panda Energy owns TNA. It works on SOOOO many levels ;->
Rick GarrardPosted on 09/02/07 at 15:11:01

WWE's new mascot should be a drunken Panda with a needle sticking out of it's buttcheek.

;)

Can we make it a Sexual Harassment Panda?

Holy crap.. Tony Halme has a studio album??!?

How did Vince not exploit that?

Because Borga called him a lesbian, then shot him.
