Get him out to the Straight of Hormuz for a match rn

before i opened the article i figured it was the white house lawn

 

[Hoss]

First 3 matches are Steve Austin vs. Johnny B Badd, Terry Funk vs. Tully Blanchard and Lord Steven Regal vs. Larry Zbyszko. Nothing but heat

 

[King Kong Booty]

Some of those dudes were old then

 

[King Kong Booty]

I wouldn’t book Larry Z for all of King Midas’s gold

 

[Hoss]

I quite enjoyed all the matches nonetheless

 

[Chris]

The Tully match was his first one back after years, it was one of the gimmick legends matches they did at Slamboree a few years

 

[Chris]

They were in black and white some years but I don't think that went over well lol

 

[Hoss]

There's definitely no comparison to this style of wrestling in the modern age, which I'm not saying as a diss to the modern age

 

[Barry Poppins]

Crazy story actually about Tully

 

[Barry Poppins]

He was supposed to come back in 1990, but because he failed a drug test in WWF, Jim Herd reneged on his contract offer.

 

[Barry Poppins]

It really fucked his career over which is why he's not as well remembered after the 80s

 

[Chris]

Yeah I mean just looking at his cagematch all he had after was Slamboree and Heroes of Wrestling for the 90s lol

He also had a fuckin' rotten ass Iron Man match in ECW that was so bad the fans literally turned their backs on the match

*I Quit Match

 

[Chris]

3 title matches against Douglas during that run and a random NJPW match against Fujinami after that I guess didn't work out either
