BIG is Best!!!!

[Mjolnir]

Is Big Really Better???
In the World of Wrestling not always so,Eddie,Benoit,Jerico..etc etc!!!
Those High fliers and lucha guys make Wrestling exciting and the Medium sized guys who wrestle properly and put on clinics make us fanboys just love the technical stuff!!!
But...And this is a HUUUUGE But!!!
Who doesnt love the big and dumb guys the overly muscled wrestlers and the giant Behemoths...
A down right crushing of a jobber at the start of every wrestling show was the staple diet of me and every other wrestling fan from the early 80s onwards!!!(yes we must mention Sids Demolition of Lee Scott!!)

So now the scene has been set so here we go with my list of favorite Big men in Wrestling!!!!
Infact this could be like a side Hall of Fame Just for Big Wrestlers!!
There is no weight limit here but as we go along you will get the gist i am sure!!!
Think Big and then Think Bigger!!!!

First off i would like to Induct Into The Big and Dumb Hall of fame or the BADHOF(sounds like a small town in Northern Chermany to me!!)

The Tag Team Multi time Champions DEMOLITION...
AX and SMASH
In this i include CRUSH(During and Post Demolition)..
I Couldnt get enough of Demolition in the80s as they were like the Metallers of the Wrestling world(think Rob but much bigger)
in fact i think someone missed atrick there as Mr Halford would have made a great Manager for them and they could have all rode to the ring on theyre Harleys!!

Staying with Tag teams we have the ROAD WARRIORS
HAWK and ANIMAL(i'm not including PUKE)
L.O.D were good but i always had a beef with them in the wwf as its due to them that the Powers of Pain were dissbanded,lod believed that people would think that they were a pop ripoff so had vince redesighn and split up Barbarian and the Warlord(which they never recovered from despite a little success for the warlord but when he started to job to mid carders half his size it was over for terry!!)

Another Big and Dumb Tagteam are the mighty POWERS OF PAIN
WARLORD and BARBARIAN...
All was said in last section...
Next in the Big and Dumb catagory are just Plain big(and of course slighly Dumb,in an in ring persona of course!)
We Next welcome the Larger than Life Wrestlers From Yesteryear and Now...
ANDRE the GIANT
Andre was someone you liked to hate due to his size he couldnt do much and was a bit 2d inside the ring but thanks to Andre Hogan Became the Phenom that he became!!!
The BIG BOSSMAN
Who didnt like the BBM in the 80s,even though i marked for most of thr Heels i always marked for Ray!!
EARTHQUAKE
One of the best Heels ever in my mind(except Savage and Taker).
When he jumped up and did the Aftershock move i always smiled and got goosebumps!!
TYPHOONor TUGBOAT if you will.
Whoooooo!!!(nuff said)
AKEEM
Managed by slick the African Dream was a large filler who did no good really!
The BIG SHOW
Possibly THE best big man ever!!
He moves quick and soon moved away from people comparing him always to Andre!
He is very funny and has a great personality,one of the best Characters in recent years.

Next we have The Big and Mean Section...
The UNDERTAKER
I remember being away in Sunderland at the time of his Debut and remember my dad saying when i returned that there was a new Wrestler that i would really like...I watched the event and F**k me if my dad wasnt right,in came this portly pale faced gent holding an earn and following him was a Pale faced Huge Behemoth wearing a long trenchcoat and wide brimmed hat with long hair flowing out the back!
He move slow and methodical but with purpose,and he could fly and move fast for a big guy!!
I was Awestruck from the off and have been ever since..
Even though i used to watch him in the AWA/WCW Wrestling as Mean Mark with Dangerous Dan Spivey when he replaced a certain Sid Vicious by the way!!
VADER
It's Time,its time..it's Vader Time!!!
A great Big man who it is now commonly known that vince used to put wrestlers from the back who were pissing him off in with Leon as he would be the Stiffest B*****d out there and go off on the poor saps who could do squat about it!!hehehe
SID VICIOUS
Always a sucker for big mean men,Sid was big and Dumb and one of mine(and Metals Favorite Figures in which we would make up many many wrestling scenarios!!)
The Beast of BOGO Road
Big big and big,underused and left out in the cold by the wwe...
The PROTOTYPE this was a mistake...i meant the Blueprint!!!!
ULF HERMAN
Having met Ulf in person i can say he is one of Wrestlings True Gents and a pleasure to watch live...
Why he never made it big is one of lifes great mysteries if you ask me!!!

More Next time as me tea is ready!!!

[MetalBlade]

I agree with 95% of your list dude, but The PROTOTYPE?
Sorry, but John Cena has no place on any list of mine, ever, except maybe most detested wrestlers of all time.
And he certainly is not entitled to share a section with the likes of The Undertaker, Vader and Sid Vicious. I suspect you also mean to include Nathan Jones aka The Beast Of Boggo Road?

I would like to add a few names to that Big and Mean section:
Brock Lesnar
Matt Morgan
Abyss
Mike Awesome
Bill Goldberg

And finally, a couple of Big and Dumb additions:
The Berserker (HUSS! HUSS!)
Mark Henry (The Silverback)

[Mjolnir]

Prototype???
I f****n hate the twat....
I meant Matt Morgan the Blueprint...sorry dude.
I had a mind meld as i was hungry and the smell from me gnocci and cheese sauce were driving me mad!!
Ooops...Sena should Never Eeeeever,be mentioned here ever again..ok Metal!!!

[Mjolnir]

Heres a few more Big and Dumb...
Rob Terry
Crimson
Gunner
And a Tag team addition if i remember correctly...6'5" of Big and Dumb
Ron and Don Harris..
And another couple of Big and Mean guys for you Deisel and Razor Ramon..Also Kronik(i loved them soo much!!)
And i'm disgusted you didnt mention our personal friend and your Belt Buddy...ABYSS
I do have to say if i may that you are a Black Catting B*****d..
My hunger got the better of me and you smeegled in there and stole all the names i was going to say next!!!hehehe
I would have done the same to you so...touche!!
We can have many posts on this subject Metal!!!
All Hail The R.O.D(Now chant..r o d r o d r o d r o d r o d r o d!!!!!)

[Mjolnir]

More additions to the Big and Bigger category....
Abdulla the Butcher
Abdulla always make me scwirm in me seat as he was not very nice to watch,but thats what made you watch..to see if would get beat!!
King Kong Bundy
Will always be famous for his feud with the young and Happening Hulkster...
Bam Bam Bigelow
For a big man Bam could fly like a Welterweight,Awsome style but was never used to the fullest,i think wwf at the time couldnt decide what to do with him as he wasnt just a Jobber Squasher(which he was very good at by the way!!) and he could move like a lightweight....they screwed up big time i feel!!
Yokozuna
Just very big and not good whatso ever...
Amish Roadkill
Had lots of good feuds in ECW and was never given a chance with the wwf when they bought ecw out(t***s)
Kamalla the Ugandian Giant
I just did the belly slap and it made me giggle,silly character but a good stepping stone for the up and coming Big and Mean Guys!!




More for the Big and Mean list....
Sean Stasiak
Sean OHaire
Mark Jindrak
Malice aka the Wall
Ah!! I loved the Wall when he was Berlyns(Alex Wright)Bodyguard.
These 4 would make an Awsome Team dont you think??
Wheres the Fn Beef???
Kane
Issac Yankum Became Kane and i was Hooked from the get go...
Giant Bernard
I always wanted to shout(and did,many times!!)Shave your Back!!

[MetalBlade]

Damn, I forgot about Bam Bam. He was a legend in every sense.
He moonsaulted as graceful as Kurt Angle and frogsplashed as graceful as Eddie Guerrero.

And Abyss, I DID MENTION HIM. Check my post dude. How could I forget the man whose belt I smeagolled? Here is a reminder.



And Roadkill, the angry Amish chickenplucker. Damn I marked for him when he tagged with "Dangerous" Danny Doring in ECW. Even that nesbit version that WWE put out a few years ago, he made a few appearances in that and was worshipped by the real "smarks" like us.
"CHICKENS!"

Ron and Don Harris, or Skull and 8 Ball as they were called in that very excellent faction D.O.A with Crush and Prime Time Brian Lee (yes, him who put Tommy Dreamer through that stack of tables off the top of the toilets in the REAL ECW...). Man they were an imposing pair of twins. Tailor made for wrestling, that's for sure.

And who could forget Crush's partner in Kronik, the other Brian, the one NOT named after that Canuck guitar-wanking power-balladeer. Brian Clark, formerly known as Adam Bomb, and later Wrath in WCW, he was built like a superhero, but was still big and daft in the vein of Mr Szopinsky unfortunately. Or fortunately as the case may be, as I heavily mark for this style of wrestler.

I was gonna mention Kane also, but I feel he deserves a thread all of his own, due to the fact that his character has remained faithful and true for well over a decade, despite the loss of the mask.

[Mjolnir]

Heres a titbit for you Dude...
Did you know that Brian Lee who was the Fake Undertaker was Mark Calloways Best man at his first wedding!!
Now that i would have paid to see!! Weird,that would have kept me and thee Entertained all day looking at them two stood at the end of the aisle..we would have been marking and giggling like a pair of girls at a Take that Concert!!
The Registrar should have said "do you the Real Undertaker take this wife..."
And then "Can the Fake Undertaker please pass the ring!!"hehehe
And i'm sure Kane was there too who was once the Fake Deisel...oh god me head would have been done in at that wedding...I bet they didnt need security at that night do??
I bet they invited Ron and Don just to man the doors for the night!!poor them having to work like second class citizens while all the other stars partied the night away!!

[MetalBlade]

Well that's their lot in life I guess. Poor old Jacob and Eli Blu, they always were second class citizens, but they accepted it and dealt with it without wingeing all the time, unlike some others.

[Mjolnir]

Bring back the Old style Survivor series and have the long haired Blu Brothers in a team with The Bezerker and Hamish Roadkill,,,Huss Huss...Chickens...What a riot that would be!!
You pick theyre opponents dude!!

[MetalBlade]

Oh nice...

They would face Bastion Booger, George "The Animal" Steele, Nailz and Mankind. Possibly the most mentally-challenged team ever formed.

Imagine this fine team. Who would they face?
Mortis, Glacier, Rellik and Suicide.

[Mjolnir]

They would face in a losers leave town Barbed wire with weapons cage Match!!
Mankind...Abyss...La Parker...and Sharkboy with Manager Curry Man at ringside for good measure...
Now i would buy that match for a dollar!!!

[Mjolnir]

What about this team then dude!!!
The Patriot..Ultimate Warrior...Texas Tornado and The British Bulldog and they're team name would be
A Better Living Through Chemistry team 3.0.....

Please choose Opponents for them...

[Mjolnir]

Heres another Team for you to match a team of opponants to ok dude!!
911....Giant Haystacks...Earthquake and Kurrggan....
(Well,this is the Bigand Bigger thread isnt it!!)
Mine are Heela so your may be Faces but it's up to you ok!!
