Back In My Day, We Didn't Have "Bangers", We Just Had Damn Good Wrestling

[Larry]

Once nikkas start talkin bout bangers, I know everything about them.

I refuse to use that bum ass phrase

A banger is a

- nikka that gangbangs
- a song that slaps


Not a wrestling match. These nerd ass whites took a black phrase and associated it with wrestling. I’m not fukkin w it

There are still ton of great people in the game who get the way things are supposed to work, even in the modern context but there's still way too many goofs who are more worried about Unca Dave than the lapsed fans who would come back if they could just restore that feeling of believable competition and conflict.

Man, them days is over

too much cosplay & circus energy now

the old school was way more goons & shooters

most had amateur pedigrees or were bouncers bodyguards real life muscle

naturally the in ring work was different

because it was a bunch of dudes who could really hurt one another

it might have been somewhat choreographed but it was real pain

All the kids in my neighborhood thought Ricky Steamboat was dead after he got DDTd on concrete!

Steamboat sold the DDT perfectly, and Jake Roberts looked like a murderer. Everybody anticipated the rematch a few months later:

 

[CBoz]

Didn't Savage use a ring bell during his elbow drop to Steamboat's throat during their feud? I think that lead to the WM3 match if I am not mistaken.

 

[Killah Ray]

Yeah that bangers shyt comes off as corny as fukk...I can't take that shyt seriously...

I think you're right.

Figure I'd share some of the wrestling I grew up on. There's some famous matches, but also a few album cuts.
Enjoy!

Was this a part of their best of 7 series? I had heard of their best of 7 back in the day from dudes I used to rhyme with, but I wasn't watching WCW around that time and missed out on it.

I don't remember if that match was a part of the best of 7, but I do remember that that series was fantastic!
I think the whole series is on YouTube if you want to give it a watch.
