The wrasslin' thread is surprisingly quick on the home computer. Finally got my goddamn avatar right too. At work the last ridiculous Cosby mug was a perfect still of his goofy face. At home it was a grainy gif. WTF?

On topic. I really, really, liked Francine. She had a rockin' body and a real skanky/this broad's up for anything look to her.




@Tatty and jerkman
Glad you liked the site, fuckers. Have you guys ever dropped by the infamous WrestleCrap.Com? It's a celebration of all the buffoonery and just overall craptastic nonsense that the sport has brought to us over the years. One of my favorite parts is the the fake headlines they make up. Fucking hilarious. Here's one of my faves:

RUFUS DETWILER, MAN WHO PLAYED ‘ORIGINAL’ SCOTT STEINER, DEAD AT 46
By Justin Henry


Lusk, WY – Rufus Detwiler, former state wrestling champion, as well as an ex-professional wrestler, has died this past Monday at the age of 46.

Detwiler had been in poor health for some time, battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma since 2005.

Detwiler is perhaps best known for his portrayal of wrestler Scott Steiner from 1986 to 1998, before a shoulder injury forced him into retirement. Since then, bodybuilder Tom Franklin of Cincinnati has taken over the role.

Detwiler marveled fans around the world with his vast array of suplexes and throws, but most of all with his freakishly dazzling finishing move, the Frankensteiner.

Detwiler’s peers are devastated.

“’Rufe’ was a good man, a kind soul, and his athletic prowess inspired us all,” said Tom Zenk, who worked with Detwiler in World Championship Wrestling. “He gave it his all every single night, no matter who he was facing, and it always looked real. I know by the end he was having shoulder issues, and that shortened his career, but I’m sure he had no regrets.”

“Rufus always had a smile on his face, and a one liner to offer,” said Butch Reed, who faced Detwiler in a series of tag team matches. “The locker room was always a looser place when he was around, and it’s a sad turn of events to have lost him.”

Some have noted that Detwiler, unlike Franklin, the second Scott Steiner, seemed to play the role more seriously, and didn’t rely so much on appearance and humor to remain popular.

“I think (Tom) Franklin is a clown,” said Harley Race, a widely respected Hall of Famer, and eight time former World Champion. “Rufus was a skilled athlete that could have excelled at track, wrestling, and possibly modern mixed martial arts. Tommy, however, wouldn’t grow the black mullet, thinking it wasn’t ‘cool’ enough, so he went with the short surfer-trim look. Then he jacked his body up to disproportionate size, and that was his excuse as to why he wouldn’t do the Frankensteiner. What a (pansy). I always hated that (chicken slurper), and I wish it had been he that (sex, present tense) died.”

The question remains: why not retire the Scott Steiner persona on the heels of Detwiler’s retirement?

“I don’t why WCW did that, because it seems like it was the right thing to do,” said Kevin Sullivan, former wrestler and, at the time, lead booker. “Then I remembered I was running the place, so it’s probably my fault. I guess. Everything after 1981 is kind of a haze. Did I ever work with Beefcake? Someone swears I did.”

Detwiler left a legacy of achievement in sport that will continue to inspire, long after his recent passing.

“Somewhere, Rufus is looking down on Rick Steiner, and he’s probably let him know that the hatchet can be buried,” said Doug Hagerty, the second man to play The Ultimate Warrior, as well as the cuter Jumping Bomb Angel. “Bygones are bygones, and somewhere, one day, Rick and Rufus will beat up unassuming Japanese wrestlers again.”


If you've never dropped by, give it a shot. The memories of idiots in underwear settling their differences in the most irrational way possible will come flooding back in droves.
