17. Kevin Dunn.
My late uncle & Vince Sr. started the whole thing. Wrestling has been very very good to the family.

Thank you for your support. :evilgrin:

Most people in the wrestling world, from what I can tell, seem to be conservatives. The only two I know for sure lean to the left are Mick Foley and Chris Nowinsky.

8. I was shocked to learn that Vinny Mac was a Repuke-
especially in the wake of the Parent's Television Council/Brent Bozell flap.

At least Mick Foley is a big-time Dem.

15. Nowinski is great
Edited on Wed Jun-29-05 04:07 PM by primate1
Good performer and pretty damn smart. Just before the war started he came to the ring and gave a pretty cool anti-war rant.

And Bradshaw is a diehard Bush supporter.

16. Rob Van Dam
RVD refused to go to that show they did in Iraq. If not liberal then at least he is against the war.

18. Fine, fine, fine, fine
But what is in the Green Mist?

And who will win the new WWE Diva Search Contest?

Let's get to the real important questions.

(And why the hell is Hogan still wrestling?)

21. That, I do not know
I don't watch wrestling anymore really, though I did watch it monday because of sniffa's thread about Flair vs. Angle.

22. I can't believe Ric Flair is still wrestling either...
My son had it on but I paid no attention...who won? Did Angle have him in an ankle lock for about 20 min.? Oh, God, I'm posting about wrestling matches :cry:

26. I liked Angle when he first joined
Even had an 'Olympic Hero' themed birthday party for my son with gold medals and red/white/blue everything.

Then he got his head shaved...that ended it.

Remember when he was hot for Stephanie? Yeah, if my daddy owned the company I'd ask to have me written in making out with all the wrestlers! :P

27. Angle has always been my favourite
He's not just the best wrestler. He's the best wrestler with a microfone IMO. That thing he had with Booker T's wife has to be one of the funniest storylines ever.

I remember when WWE came to Finland for the first time. It seemed that me and my brother were the only one's who were cheering for Kurt. Everybody else had jumpt in to the U SUCK bandwagon.

The U Suck chants.. although they do go nicely with his theme...

Angle is the man on the microphone.. wether it be serious or funny. WWE really picked up a gem with him.

Angle (Rapping): My name's Kurt Angle and what the heck/ I won a gold medal with a broken freakin neck!

Heh Angle is damn entertaining.

I was trying not to mention that......

Who would've thought that would've been one of the biggest fucking chants in WWE history when Austin started that damn thing.

Edit:
Fans: WHAT!

Piper: If you shut up.. I'll tell you (or something to that effect)

29. Thing is..Angle is a kick ass wrestler
I mean a true gold medal winning wrestler - I love wrestling (high school and college)

I just wish he wasn't such a jackass on the show now.

32. But that's what he does best
Being a jackass you know. I hope he doesn't change. Angle like HBK, is better as a heel. I's a shame Shawn is a crazy fundamentalist these days. I wish he would agree to bring back the old Heart Break Kid.

33. Shawn as a heel was great..
Although I don't mind him as a babyface. . . but his heel days was best.. and when he threw Marty Jannety threw a window it is probably one of the best turning heel moments ever.

God I must be addicted to the wrestling topic today.. must be because it's more interesting than mY Statistic homework I'm currently working on.

24. Angle won...
It wasn't to bad either. Flair was fucking winded near the end... but it was obvious he was doing his all to have a good match..... even the dreaded testicle grab... BWAH!!!!

at the television...even my husband looked up from the paper to see it. Poor Kurt.

14. Violent people tend to vote Republican.
And Republicans are more apt to be violent people. No surprises there, eh?
