Freakshow: Abdullah the Butcher

heh, my son (now 11) wears his pj bottoms pulled up like Abdullah the Butcher. It doesn't help that he's put on a few pounds, so the resemblance is eerie.

This wasn't even the best WWF tag team never mind best over all tag team I would argue that Savage Hogan (Mega Powers) was a better tag team

I was saying The Rock as a better entertainer than Stone Cold. I had no idea they had been a tag team.

As for tag teams, if you want want with The Rock on it, I would go with The Rock N' Sock Connection (The Rock and Mankind) When I think of Tag Teams, however, I like to think about not a pairing of two individuals, but a team whose identity is larger than that of its members individually. That's why I would go with either The New Age Outlaws (Billy Gunn and The Road Dogg) or The Dudley Boyz. Not sure if anybody here watches TNA (if you like wrestling, you should), but they have some phenomenal Tag Team including Motor City Machine Guns, Beer Money, and Generation Me. Those guys are putting on some really great matches.

This was probably the last "good" tag team. I remember Ole and Arn Anderson, the Minnesota Wrecking Crew. Good Team. The Koloffs were another good tag team.

Moving on to strange belts, I always thought the NWA's U.S. Champion was kind of a stupid belt to have, the only benefit was that you would be the top contender for the World Championship belt. Also, the Television Championship Belt. The reward was you got to wrestle on TV once a month.

The Television Championship is still alive on TNA (which is what NWA has become).

Were the Koloffs Nicolai Volkoff and Ivan Koloff? Remember the Mongols? Beppo and Geeto? Beppo was Ivan Koloff with a Bald Head and top knot, oh to be 9 years old again!

I still get goosebumps from the HEAT that generated on a saturday morning whenever the tv announcer said "GEORGE THE ANIMAL STEEEEEEEEELE!!!!! Unreal heal even by today's standards.

Yes on the Koloffs, no on the Mongols. I got into to NWA when Tully Blanchard was the TV champion with Babydoll and he would fued with Dusty Rhoades and Magnum T.A. (there was once the craziest opening to NWA wrestling right after Magnum T.A.'s motorcycle accident.)

My best wrestling moment would probably be when I witnessed the Road Warriors and Sam Houston defeat the Koloffs and Krusher Krushev to win the 6 man cup. It was a fucking cup!!! Also the fued between the Road Warriors and the New Breed was great, good wrestling action. The AWA back then was interesting too with my all time favorite heel Larry Zebysko.
