Jim Ross on Clowney

I like the call as much as the next guy, but how did a football thread end up in a lame wrestling discussion?

I pretty much gave it up when Mae Young and Mark Henry had a baby and it turned out to be a hand in there.

Did you also stop watching television shows and movies? They are fake too you know. I hope you don't watch action movies, those people don't really die. They're just actors, they don't even get actually get shot with bullets! How stupid is that? Do you read fiction? I hope not, those stories aren't real. The only things worthwhile are biographies and documentaries, right my man?
The core topic here *was* wrestling. It's a humorous video with a Jim Ross call superimposed with the Clowney hit. That invites nothing *but* wrestling discussion. What did you expect, the 451st thread about the Hit, where we simply talk about that play ad nauseum again?

It got weird...and bad (IMO) quite quickly after the Attitude Era. When I think of "rasslin'" I think of the 80's and the Attitude Era of WWE in the late 90's/early 2000's.

I thought the Montreal Screwjob was a great wrestling match because it was just that...wrestling by two guys who knew how to put on a show without having to stick tacks in their bodies. Of course, I hate the fact that Bret got screwed in that match

Bret screwed Bret.

Actually, it was a pretty bad match. You did have Foley thrown off the cage, threw the cage, and then on a bunch of tacs. Some great spots, but the match itself wasn't fantastic. 5 Matches off the top of my head that have certainly been much better.

Steamboat-Savage
Steamboat-Flair
Hart-HBK Iron Man Match
Flair-Funk I Quit Match
Flair-Windham Crockett Cup

You could probably throw in numerous matches involving Japanese wrestlers too, but I can't get into wrestling in Japan. Also, I'm certain there are many great matches involving guys like Lou Thesz or Jack Brisco were fantastic too, but that's before my time
