Hogan Hulks Up On Abdullah
This match is remarkable for featuring two huge names in wrestling history while they were both still in pretty good shape. Abdullah The Butcher is still packing some back fat, but at least it doesn’t hang that much here and… Read More ›
The Dragon Meets Muta
I don’t know what it is, but the first time I sat down to watch this match I just couldn’t make it through it. It is a pretty exciting meet overall though with perhaps a slightly awkward beginning. I like… Read More ›
