Two greats right here.

Arn Anderson was so fucking good

 

[R-Troop]

DDP had such a weird career. Was a night club owner in the 80s. Was a wrestling manager in the early 90s, then started his in-ring career at age 40.

DDP had such a weird career. Was a night club owner in the 80s. Was a wrestling manager in the early 90s, then started his in-ring career at age 40.

And became one of the biggest names in the company. Like within the next couple years or so, he's a huge star in WCW. It's crazy

 

[Barry Poppins]

And somehow you can thank Verne Gagne for bringing DDP into the business

 

[R-Troop]

Yankees and Dodgers? In 1995? Yankees were about to make the playoffs for the first time in 15 years the next Month and the Dodgers were not winning World Series either at this point.

 

[O-Blaze]

1995 World Series you say?

yeah it's crazy. Then he goes to WWE and never did anything of note

 

[Barry Poppins]

Actually tbf, Gagne brought in Eric Bischoff, DDP, Paul Heyman, and a lot of other great folks who would become huge stars in the mid-late 90s

I liked 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000 better

Sadly. Man should have been booked better. Think they could've gotten at least a few good years out of him. Maybe not main event at that point. But definitely better.

 

[Barry Poppins]

1991 World Series will always be the GOAT

Those are fine as well, I suppose.
