I'm aware that objectively he wasn't a "bad" wrestler (though I always thought he was SUPER overrated by the IWC back then).
I just didn't like him or ever want to watch him.
I was pretty young when I formed my opinion on him. Maybe if he came along now I would appreciate his work more
Here's the back story on who this match looks stiff:
A couple months before, Virgil asked me if he could borrow my Doggystyle tape so he could copy it. I said no problem, just give it back when you're done. So a month goes by, and I ask for my tape back, and he said he's been busy and hasn't had a chance but he would return it the first chance he got. The night of this match, Virgil comes in the back, and he hands me a blank cassette and told me he lost my cassette, but recorded me a copy. I have steam coming out of my ears at this point, but hey, I at least have Snoop I can listen to before my matches, and I tell him to get the fukk out. I pop it into my walkman, and I hear this:
Now I'm beside myself here. Scott's laughing his ass off and Shawn is joining him, even though he has no idea why I'm mad. Later that night, we were walking in the back, and I saw Virgil with his back towards us, talking to someone. I smacked the shyt out of him and told him be better get me a new fukking tape or I'd break his jaw. Thankfully he got me a brand new copy a few days later and everything was all good.
that hasty feud w/ Hogan was 
at this shyt ever leaving a production meeting let alone lasting for years.
You were on wrestling forums back then ?

I can get people maybe being bored with Backlund, although I find him fascinating to watch. Always entertaining even if it is just for how weird he was being. But how does someone not like Barbarian? A big fukking hoss who spent the majority of his career booting jobbers in the face. did you make these shyts
Well I run a website that is primarily based around reviews and gifs, so yes.
Yeah. It's pretty good.
read your propaganda article just now the part about racism is why i've been really torn on being a fan of wrestling. it's hard to shake something that has been a big part of your life since a youth but there's just too much to ignore.
