Heinz should hope it is catsup - because if it is - they are making a fortune on Pro-Wrestling!! :D ;) :D

 

Hey Gib - good buddy - this is post # 700 - you better get with it!!!

 

I remember their Names!!!!!!!!!!!!

" The Blackjacks"

I loved them! And they were good looking too! Well in the 70's they were. Come on...I was young!

Sherrie

 

Get the scene now--We're at the Coffee Shop--you guys are all blabbin' that that wresssslin' ain't real---when Blackbird knows it is!!!

Suddenly two men come in the door--ain't never seen them around these parts before--but since they're here we let um come in! Naturally, Blackbird knows them like the back of his hand!!! And he's the first to speak and welcome the two visitors--

"Sargeant Slaughter!!!! Its you! I can't believe it! I can't believe this is happenin'! Its you!"

"Blackbird! Son!!! My, its been a long time! Say, I want to introduce you to my buddy here, Hulk Hogan!! Hulk, this is my good buddy, Blackbird!"

As Blackbird extends hand--he knows he ain't shakin' hands with no "Powder Puff!" Its the real thing, Baaaaaaaaaby! Hulk is cardual and wants to know if he can preach for me this comin' Sunday!! I say, "Surrrrrrrrre! Go ahead! What can it hurt???!!!!"

Now that ya'll know that Sargeant Slaughter is here in person and Hulk Hogan---the best wrestlers on God's Green Planet---I want ya'll to one by one---in their face--tell them that all that stuff is fake!!!! Rodh?? Wanna "go" at it?? How about you, Mister Todd???

Who wants to go to church with me this comin' Sunday??????!!! The Hulkster has done promised me that he won't preach tithein'--for fear it'll offend those who don't---he don't want to start no trouble but wants to leave my church in better shape than when he got there!! I can hardly wait!!

Your Southern Baptist preachin', WWF wresslin' nutt!
Blackbird

 

blackbird!


Say will Dusty Rhodes be there? By far, he was the meanest!

Sherrie

 

blackbird -

I said I wouldn't say it was fake to their face - I like my face way too much for that!!! :D :D

 

Or perhaps..you totally forgot about....


"Superstar" Billy Graham

Maybe he should be preach'n!

Sherrie

 

So who was the guy who always brought a rubber chicken into the ring with him?????

 

I remember when we were younger, my mom wouldn't let my brother and me watch pro wrestling. I think she just didn't want us practicing wrestling moves on each other. It didn't work, because we still found ways to watch it and we did practice different wrestling holds on each other.

 

Yes, Mister(he makes me call him that) Rhodes will be there---and as an added bonus for all of the men---he's bringin' "Baby Doll!" with him---she's gonna be teachin' the younger women's class---isn't that what the Bible says, that the older women are to teach the younger?

I'm sure it'll go over good with all the men---standin' room only! And just think--after the services we all come on down to the Coffee Shop and relax!

Blackbird

 

Blackjack Mulligan and Blackjack Lanza




Hey in 1986 Blackjack Mulligan still looks good!


Also:

Blackjack Lanza & Blackjack Mulligan won the title Sept. 26, 1975 they beat Dominic Danucci & Pat Barrett Philadelphia, PA

Praise God for socialism and socialized medicine. In Canada, we can go to the doctor or the hospital without the worries of cost.

I remember when wrestling had a modicum of decency about it. I think it was staged to some degree then too, but it wasn't near as phon as it is now, and vulgar. Remembering names like Whipper Billy Watson, who dedicated his life for crippled children; Lou Thesz, a champion for years, out of St. Louis; Yukon Eric, the Sharpe Brothers and even Gorgeous George....

Cheers,

Jim

 

Sue I remember the rubber chicken! But do not remember who did that. I will need time to think on this one. Jar the cluttered brain a little.

Sherrie

 

Gorgeous George...Now there was a wrestle....he was something.

I watched a documentry on him one time. I think Henry Winkler did a movie based on him. "The One And Only". Excellent Movie. Kim Darby played his wife. Funny and Good! He wore the Mink's trunks.

Sherrie,

We all like the picture posted of Blackjack Mulligan---but I hate to have to tell ya--after all you are the favorite in the shop--and I tell ya this at risk of being the first one to ever be kicked out of the Coffee Shop----but----

the background for the picture of Blackjack??? Its fake!!! He ain't really in Texas!! He was in somebody's carport garage---probably somewhere in New York City or Los Angeles!!

I hope you will forgive me this once!! But I thought you'd want to need to know!!

Your buddy,
Blackbird

 

No blackbird! He is for real! Look at him! He is from Sweetwater, Texas.

Who is looking at the background when he is there???????? And who cares where he is standing???????????????

He will be at church Sunday....right????????

Sherrie

 

Blackbird, you need to make them all honorary deacons and tell your church members that anyone not attending church on Sunday will be getting a visit from them to find out why they missed.

 

Well that would certainly be something, Rod. The Main event...Be there...The Gospel Ring!

Sherrie

 

I remember some great matches between the Rock n' Roll Express and the Midnight Express for the tag team belts. They had some dangerous matches high above the ring even if it all was staged.
