For Anybody Who Was A Wrestling Fan In the Past 15 Years

Yeah, Undertaker is one of the few wrestlers that they don't exaggerate his hieght. He is ligitimatly 6'10". Shawn Michaels was called 6' but he's only about 5'10", Hogan was billed as 6'8" but he's about 6'5", Kevin Nash is 6'9" not 7', etc. While even Big Show isn't quite as tall as they make him out to be (they say 7'2" but hes about 6'11"-7') nor is Great Khali (billed as 7'4" but hes about 7'1"). Rey Misterio is probably the only other one who's height is exactly as he's billed.

2 guys who I grew up watching. Ironic, considering the path that both these guys chose to go down.

Jake the Snake and Scott Hall. What a pair to draw to. When was that pic taken?

I was a fan of Jake "the Snake" Roberts as a kid. He didn't look particularly strong, but he was tough.

"The Snake" was a great worker in the ring.

Back in the 80's, the WWF would have a house show in Oakland once a month. My grandpa used to get 2nd row tickets for every show. It was cool as a young kid to see these wrestlers up close. My grandpa used to grease the palms of the parking security too, so we used to park where the wrestlers would. I never tried to interact with the wrestlers, so maybe that was a good thing. Those were good times. Some of the best wrestling matches I seen were at these house shows which never saw the light of day. I remember when Roberts and Rickey Steamboat had their fued. The matches they put on were top notch. Wrestling has certainly gone down hill.

I remember this kid back in 6th grade that would try to imitate wrestlers at recess.

I found this picture the other day:

We are already discussing that in this thread: http://www.heartofmetal.net/t17573p825-wwf-wwe-ecw-wcw

Yeah, but my wrestling thread was first!
