People liked this style of wrestling just because they didn't see through it themselves and thought it was real. If you had some brains as a kid, the first time you saw wrestling on tv you immediately realized those aren't real fighting moves, and the kicks and punches are fake. In that case this is boring af and you were happy when the WWF came around, at least they had some intriguing and imaginative storylines and the in ring work was much better as well. At least some of the WWF stuff looked real.
For a guy who was six feet three and 275lbs, the Hawk threw one of the absolute best drop kicks in the business. - He could get right up there and put his tippy toes in your chin without hurting you, but made it look devastating. - The other best guys at the drop kick were: Curt Hennig, Koko B. Ware, Scott Steiner, Tito Santana, Rick Martel, Ricky Steamboat. - Other names are welcome if I missed anyone.
this is the best heel to baby-face turn in the history of wrestling and , although it was orchestrated by a tragedy, i believe is the best idea dusty ever had. look closely when dusty is standing on top of the third turn buckle. he is looking out over the crowd, realizing how the fans are reacting and counting the money because in that moment he knew they saved Starcade and the promotion from what could have been a major down spiral after magnum was injured.
This was now-you-see-them, now-you-don't moment. Barry had this big build up and received the keys to a brand new 1984 Trans-Am for signing with JCP, then leaves for the Big Apple. Ditto for Mike. They become two time WWE Tag Team Champions. Then Barry returns to the NWA Florida in 1986. Mike stays up north and is paired with Danny Spivey in a journeyman tag team.
