I'M A VILLAIN, DON'T YA SEE?!?
THE TRAAAAAASH MAN!
Gah, shit! Did I get'cha Cricket?!
...must've had an edge.
It's the Trash Man!
He eats trash!
The black singlet is the wrestling promoter's way of telling you that you need to lose weight god dammit! That's why Andre had to wear it in his later years, or the big show, or king Kong Bundy, etc
Everyone remembers Hogan vs Andre, and Hogan vs Piper and Hogan vs macho man, but Hogan vs Bundy was pretty great. Props to Bobby the brain Heenan for always pulling out great challengers for Hogan.
I was never really into entertainment wrestling but I grew up with it as a kid in the 80s and all those names just gave me flashbacks of me and my friends having a blast watching all those wrestlers and pretending we were doing a Russian Sickle on one another or learning how to do the Figure-4 Leg Lock ... or even how to reverse it!
I miss the old style of wrestling. Now it's just chairs and bullshit
Thanks for reminding me of all this .... the last wrestling acting we did was when I was just turning into a teen in the late 80s. One of us would go up a friend and surprise them with an unexpected Rick Flair back handed slap to the chest then cry out WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
and yes you are right, they really put the "entertainment" into entertainment wrestling back then. Watching it was a fun escape from reality, now they just try to use it all as another political platform
Andre did it better
Definetly
Depends if you uh want to get crushed.

Fun fact, the guy behind Andre, Haku is possibly one of the toughest, most insane men to ever live. He could take any of the wrestlers on in a real fight, and his bar brawls would often end with someone's nose being bitten off, or the person getting tossed through a window. When cops would arrive, they'd find out that pepper spray and tasers didn't do shit to haku. There are some crazy stories about the guy out there
